Dear All,

Welcome to the start of the 2007. In this coming year, there will be more exciting enrichment courses and outings. More details will be released when school starts.

Your senior, Chester Liew, has passed out from the Cadet Inspector Basic Training Course and will be returning to our unit as a new CI. In addition, we have a new Teacher Officer, Mr Patrick Goh, joining our unit.

Please take note that there will be a short Unit Meeting for all Sec 2 - 4 (2007) cadets at 2.30pm in my homeroom regarding the Sec 1 CCA Recruitment on 3rd Jan (Wed). Attendence will be taken.

For Sec 2s (2007) and Sec 3s (2007) who have yet to receive your formation signs, they are ready for collection during the meeting. Please take note that each pair is $8. Only those who have paid are allowed to draw the formation signs.

Please note that those of you who have yet to purchase your Unit T-shirt, please bring along $12 to do so as you need to wear the T-shirt on Friday.

Thank you.

Painting of Humanities Homeroom Corridor - Update

Dear all,

After a meeting with the other teachers in charge of the 4th floor corridor, they have enough volunteers to help out for the next 2 weeks. The GG girls and basketball boys will be helping Mrs Tang and Mr Tan. However, Mrs Tang might need more help so for those of you who are keen, please drop me an sms or email with your contact number which I can pass to Mrs Tang.

For me, I will be away in Sikkim and need help for the painting of the exterior of one of the rooms when I come back, which is from the 18th of Dec onwards. I need people who can draw and paint well as we will be doing pictures of the 4 seasons. I need only around 5 people and I believe we can finish in around 2 days. Those who are keen, please drop me an sms or email to let me know and I will contact you when I come back from India.

Thank you to all of you who have expressed interest to help the school in this project!
