Burst our Bubbles

“Let’s Burst Our Bubbles” is one of the latest comm-serves to be established this eventful year of 2013.

A little about the history; Alex Driehaus and Joshua went out one Wednesday around the campus and thus collected all the litter they could. They ended up with two full refuse bags, and that was the beginning of the very important initiative. Today, they occasionally organise clean ups around the school, and a lot of the WK students have actually shown their interest in the project by joining the group to unite in the battle against “a dirty community”.
