TIme and again, the Social Responsibility department has highlighted the importance of supporting people in need and people with serious medical conditions to aid in their happiness and well-being. The department has made a difference through fundraising so that those people are strengthened by actions and not only through words.

Fundraising has always taken a major part in SLO^®, and the last remarkable event was arranged to support the Sanad Organization and Zahra Association. We were able to donate a wheelchair and blood pressure machine for 2 children suffering from cancer. Also, 14 girls cut 20cm of their hair and donated them to people suffering from cancer.

Reem Tassi- Gr. 12A: “it is very inspiring and heart-warming to see such students so willing to help others in need.”

The annual SLO Mini Conference was hosted on Thursday and Friday, October 17^th and 18^th.

As with every year, the prefects excitedly prepare, and outdo themselves, as proven by this year's huge success. The event was organized by the leadership team of the SLO, and the prefects enjoyed every moment, from preparation to execution.

Day one was filled with happy faces as icebreaker activities played around the room, and presentations about the various aspects of our SLO. Day two started off with an energy-filled drumming activity, and a fun round of Zumba! After a few more enriching presentations, we held the famous annual Treasure Hunt! Everyone had loads of fun running around the Market trying to finish off their tasks and win the Hunt.

Overall, the Mini Conference was an extremely enjoyable and educational event, and we look forward to hosting it again next year!
