CIE experience at Singapore International School Confluence!!



On the 12thof September, Singapore international school in Mumbai conducted confluence 2013, an inter-school competition in which Oakridge was one of the 28 schools participating. Me and Ankitha participated in the installations (art) competition under the below 17 category. In addition there were two other girls from 11th IB who accompanied us to confluence; they actively participated in the creative writing competition.
We arrived at the Mumbai airport after a one and half hour journey from Hyderabad at 7 am. We drank a hot cup of Starbucks coffee to relax ourselves and then we proceeded to the school to start off with our competition. After looking at the jaw dropping installations displayed on the topic ‘social issues around the word’ in the school, we were frozen for a few moments.  Although our work carried an important message on ‘woman's harassment’, we thought the creative part wasn’t fitting the T. We thought that the only time we can win the competition is if the pigs start to fly.
However we finished our installation at the given time and to our surprise it turned out to be better than we visualized. After finishing the competition we left the beautiful campus of SIS and boarded a flight back to Hyderabad. We eagerly waited for the results. After four days when the results were finally out. We were shivering, tightening our fist and clenching our teeth hoping for the best . We were so happy when we heard we secured 3rd place. Our hard work has paid off. 
Altogether it was a fun experience!
