Anand Utsav was an event planned by Grade 12 students for the staff of our school. It included activities such as Mini Football and Arcade games. The event was a gesture of thanks to the staff and their help towards all students in the school. 

I volunteered in the event as an on-day helper. We were assigned games and roles throughout the event. 

Learning Outcome 1: Identify your strengths and develop areas for growth 

Volunteering in the event was a unique experience for me, where I developed new skills such as communication and managing responsibilities given to me. I was able to learn and develop my skills further as I helped guide the staff throughout the event and fulfilled my role while explaining the games and activities to them. The experience was also a great opportunity to develop my skill in managing responsibilities. 

Learning Outcome 5: Demonstrate skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively

During the event, I had to communicate with other users to learn about my roles. I had worked with various people during my time volunteering in helping the staff enjoy the games and activities planned for them. I was able to learn new things from my peers and share my ideas and plans for new problems that arose. 

Learning Outcome 7: Recognise and consider the ethics of choices and actions

The event was planned as a gesture of thanking the staff for all the years of their hard work in making our school life easy and memorable. Watching the staff enjoy the event and have a break from their busy schedules made the event planners and us volunteers feel more gratitude and happiness. The event was planned and executed in a way that all staff members, as well as students, enjoyed themselves in the best way possible.
