Thank you!

Firstly I would like to thank both the Alumni and the existing student leaders that had helped out during this year Sec 1 Orientation programme. It was an ambitious “gamble” on my part to let you, the students run the entire orientation. I thought the most effective way for you to learn is by doing it yourself. Nothing could replace the experience you had gained through these 4 days of organizing the events and interacting with your juniors.

You had found that controlling a group of 10 students is very tough especially when they don’t listen to your instructions. You felt very frustrated and sometimes helpless. Have you ever wonder you could behave similarly in your class towards your teachers?
If you don’t like to be treated like that then maybe you should reflect on your own behaviour.

I very very glad that all of you had gained many valuable experiences through the one plus month of planning and execution. I am sure you had become a better leader but as Weiqing mentioned, there are always room for improvement.

Do continue to improve yourself and the environment we are in to make HS a better place for all.

I’m proud of all of you.

Sec 1 Orientation is finally here.

Dear Leaders,


The day you have been waiting for is finally here! Let put in our best effort to make it a success.

Just afew reminders,

1) Report to school early (~7:15AM) to help usher the Sec 1 to the Hall for morning assembly. The Prefects and the HLC will work hand in hand in ensuring the students are sitted before the bell ring.

2) Do have self-awareness about you grooming. It is understandable that your hair might be abit long during the holiday BUT please maintain the standard that a student leader should have.

3) For Day 1 you follow your class back to have a session with your form teacher till 9:00am after which i need you at the hall for ice-breaking and the teaching of the school song till 10:15am. School will be dismiss at 12:10pm for everyone.

4) Collect your nametag from me on Monday and wear it prominately so that the sec 1 get to know you by name.

5) Be the perfect role model cos the Sec 1 will model you in your behaviour.

All the best

Edwin
