CCA Previews ’18: ODAC

Reading Time: 4 minutes

By ODAC

ODAC the one, we have fun
Just like one big family

The Outdoor Adventure & Activities Club (ODAC) is a place for you to try things you’ve never done before and to open your eyes to the breathtaking beauty of nature. It’s a place for you to grow and to discover yourself. Most importantly, it’s a close-knit family, brought together by shared experiences in the outdoors – the astonishing ones and the icky ones, the sweet and the bitter.

The myriad of activities we have is sure to push you out of your comfort zone, whether it’s because you have a fear of heights or because you’re not very physically fit, or because you don’t know how to swim or cycle. But don’t worry – none of us came in fully prepared either! As long as you are willing to face your fears and give it your best shot, there’s a place in ODAC for you.

Simply, LIT. But what happens when 20 to 30 odd of them come together to have fun (*cues excited chattering*)… AND serve the larger community?

That’s right – that is ICS for you!

CCA Previews ’18: Gavel Club

Reading Time: 3 minutes

By Joie Liew (18A13A), President and Rauf Hannan Azizi (18S06B), Vice-President

Two words that can strike fear into many hearts: public speaking. When delivering speeches, or just speaking in front of the class, we may often have vague ideas about our message but lack the words and means to accurately express our thoughts. The art of speaking is essentially about communication, about talking with purpose and meaning. It is not about achieving the “perfect” speech, but is about being able to use words and apply thoughts to deliver our message with clarity and focus.

Words have power, and here in Gavel Club, we support each other in developing and honing our ability to harness this power through public speaking. If you hope to improve and practice this essential skill, we invite you to join us!
