I feel like Jonathan in 'Masterchef Australia'... feels like everything's half done. Audio setup has been checked everywhere in the halls for the first year exams and we find there's one that blown a fuse and another that will be available only tomorrow at nine. I'm hoping everything's goes off well. But what was heartening through the whole ordeal from morning till evening, as we went around visiting the halls and checking systems, audio drivers, sound cords, mixers, amplifie and the speakers , was that there was a colloborative effort from Mech, Meta and CSE students as they tried to set the equipment right.

I have to say this - every single time you need them, our students are there, to lend their gathered wisom and skills and their willing hands to set things right. As I saw them putting their heads together to find out why the amp was not glowing, I told myself 'That is where our students are way above the students of SF colleges who will consider it beneath their dignity to do what they think a lab assistant should'. And that is where our students score - their willingness to learn, their readiness to help, their unwillingness to let go, till a solution is found. Our students possess rare qualities, which if companies don't recognise, the loss is theirs.
