Saving Headphones
Patrick from Year 13 took on a unique challenge for his CAS project - Fixing broken headphones from the music department. With a knack for electronics, he set up a small repair station at home and successfully repaired 12 of the headphones. Through sharing his skills, he encourages others to appreciate the value of repair over replacement. Patrick's initiative not only kept the music playing, but also inspired a culture of sustainability within DC. Take a look!

Mahjong: A brief History of the Traditional Chinese Game
Mahjong: A brief History of the Traditional Chinese Game
Mahjong (麻雀), a traditional tile-based game originating in China, has captivated players worldwide with its timeless appeal. Considered an emblematic part of Chinese culture, Mahjong has transcended borders and found a place in the hearts of players across Asia and the Western world. Beyond being a mere game, Mahjong has evolved into a cherished social activity, uniting friends and family members in a bond of camaraderie and entertainment.
Developed in the southern regions of China during the mid-1800s, towards the end of the Qing dynasty, Mahjong swiftly gained popularity in urban centers like Shanghai and Beijing by the turn of the century. Its name, "Mahjong," derived from southern Chinese dialects, evokes the image of sparrows as it mimics the melodic clattering sound that emanates when the tiles are shuffled together.
