Secondary 1 Orientation

Dear all

It's the part of the year when I look forward to HLC putting up a GREAT show and welcome our new Hougean into our family. It's also the part of the year that I get worried if you have NOT firm up certain duties, events and procedure. Planning a MAJOR event like this does not just happen. It require ALOT of committment and thoughts put into it to make the Orientation a success. Yi Sin (Chairperson Orientation 2010) had requested the trial run to be after X'mas which I am fine with BUT the following must be done before that :-

1) The allocation of duties (WHO)

Who is in charge of the individual events? (Do they know what they need to prepare?)
Who are the facil in the classes?
Who will get ready the logistics required for all the activities?

2) Logistics (WHAT)

What do you need for the events?
What need to be brought or borrowed from the school?(Walkie Talkie? Sport Eq?)

3) Timing (WHEN)

When will the events start? (Is timing enough? Do we need a trial run to confirm timing?)

4) Venue (WHERE)

Where are the events held? (Did we get permission for it?)

5) Objectives (WHY)

Why are certain events organised? (What are the objectives? Bonding, knowing the school better?)

6) Procedure for events (HOW)

Is there a write-out for each event so that every1 know what is it about?

Every year I ask such questions to help the organising com prepare themselves for MOST major event in the HLC calendar and those who had organise it THIS year (Wayne, Cai Jun, etc etc) might be able to offer some feedback. Let work hard from NOW onwards to a GREAT opening for ourselves and the New Hougean. It's only slightly more than TWO weeks away..........
