Activity description

The club organized an inclusion mural and cricket activity to help students relax through art and sports while making new friends.

Activity highlight

The day kicked off in the Visual Arts room with a creative warmup session. Guided by the instructor, students brainstormed distinct design elements to add to a character sketch, taking turns sharing the inclusive cultural meanings behind their ideas. Once the creative sparks were flying, everyone headed over to the 4th-floor staircase to paint and color the joint community mural together!

Bringing it to life! Students locked in, filling every section with bright, vibrant colors.

Right after finishing the artwork, the action shifted to the school playground for an epic cricket workshop! Our committee members grabbed the bats, ready to face the incoming pitches. Students familiar with cricket stepped up as amazing coaches, guiding first-timer committee members through the fundamentals with tons of patience. Even when rookies made repeated mistakes, these student coaches never got frustrated—instead, they kept throwing out high-fives and encouraging words, helping everyone get the hang of the game in no time.

Student-led coaching! Our non-Chinese speaking peers stepped up as pros to teach our committee members the fundamentals of cricket.

Purpose behind this activity

The student coaches showed incredible inclusivity and energy as they led everyone into the sport. Through this deep, hands-on interaction, we successfully broke down cultural barriers and forged lasting friendships. Even though they were racing against the clock for just 45 minutes during lunch, everyone had a total blast. Students even suggested bringing in more bats and balls and stretching out the time for future events so the cross-cultural fun doesn't have to end so quickly!
