Spring Cleaning

     On the 3rd of February 2016, 16 Leos and probates had participated in the “Spring Cleaning” project held from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. The aim of this project was to clean up the backstage of the Sister Enda Hall of SMK Assunta. A few members of the English Literary & Debating Society (ELDS) had also joined us in this clean-up as the society uses the backstage rooms for their annual concert, Lit Night. 

     The backstage was split into three rooms; the bathroom, the dressing room, and the props room. Leos, probates, and members of the ELDS were split into two groups to clean up the two rooms. In the dressing room, costumes cluttered in a wardrobe were rearranged, the dressing table was cleared up and wiped with wet cloth, and after the groundwork was completed to make it a neater room, the floor was swept. 

     The props room was very disorganised and messy as props from the ELDS’ concert, Lit Night, were strewn everywhere. The old props were taken out and dismantled, the items on the racks were rearranged neatly, and old banners were refolded and stacked on top of each other. After clearing up a number of props and items, the room was much more spacious and the floor was then swept. 

     Although the backstage was dirty, messy, and in disarray, we managed make it a better environment for our fellow Assuntarians to dwell in especially during events. We could not have accomplished this without the combined effort of the Leos, probates, and members of the ELDS. Overall, the project was successful. We would also like to thank the probates and members of the ELDS for joining us to make this clean-up a success. As the saying goes, “Many hands make light work”. ROAR!
