At the start of our course, to bond with new students that joined ISB, we were all split up into groups to work together. In this group, we would bring in recyclable material but we were not told what we were going to do with it. The next day, we used it all to make a fashion show 'dress' which we would show to the other groups by one person walking down the catwalk in it.
Being the only male in my group that was not new to the school - which included Jo, Ashlyn, Sheane, Sim Hann, Craig and I - I was immediately chosen as the model without any other alternative. This was not a bad thing as I am outgoing and love making a fool out of myself (within reason) and it made the activity very enjoyable to take part in - I also had the dress named after me, the "Dean Dress". However, this was still a tad out of my comfort zone and I felt that this was not only beneficial for the new students to see me as an approachable person, but for me to feel comfortable around them. Already, I can see that doing this formed immediate friendships which I already highly value.
