The water transport challenge has consistently been a highly anticipated CAS (Community, Action, and Service) event for all teachers and students at SHBS. During this event, students not only collaborate closely to successfully complete the water transport challenge, but the subsequent water fight also provides both faculty members and students with a refreshing respite from the sweltering sun.


The young reporter Dora at the front has just sent in her report. Let's take a look at it together!

After a full day of lessons, the eagerly anticipated water challenge finally arrived! The teacher laid out the rules: Students in each class would form a team, and three teams would compete against one another. Notably, faculty members would also join in the game.

Each team was equipped with a bucket of water, along with various water-collecting tools and water-carrying rings. The objective was to use these tools to transport the water to the opposing team, all while ensuring that team members' feet remained within the designated rings at all times. The alternating use of these two rings put students' cooperation and unspoken understanding to the test. The team that transported the most water within the fifteen-minute timeframe would emerge as the victor.

In response to the referee's command, the front-running students burst forward like arrows released from a bowstring. Yet, unbeknownst to them, much of the water they carried had already been splashed out along the way. Upon reaching the finish line, they discovered their containers were nearly empty. However, these setbacks did not deter the students in the least. They persevered, drawing valuable lessons from their failures, and steadily honed their water transportation skills, ultimately improving their efficiency.

Amidst the fierce competition, students ingeniously discovered a clever tactic to ease their efforts: one student placed the water-carrying rings on another's feet, ensuring they stayed below the knees, which allowed for regular walking and significantly increased the pace of water transportation. This innovative approach garnered enthusiastic cheers from the crowd as the game entered its final countdown. Each class was now putting forth their utmost effort, gearing up for a climactic showdown.

"Time’s up"! The referee's voice sounded, announcing the end of the game. Everyone's face was filled with excitement. Students fired all their firepower in the next water fight. They outflanked, besieged, attacked east and west, bathed in the water, and had a great time.

Indeed, moments of happiness are often fleeting. As the sun gradually sets, the water battle concluded. This activity not only enriched the students' extracurricular experiences, fostering camaraderie through effective "ice breaking" exercises, but it also offered valuable insights into the dynamic nature of our faculty members, who serve as both educators and friends. In the forthcoming journey of academic life, an array of diverse and delightful experiences awaits everyone to embrace in succession.
