This post is with regards to some doubts raised during today's cca meeting(24/3/09) and SIG Day.
Firstly, some JC1s have expressed their doubts whether or not they have to answer all the questions posted on the resume guide, and the fact that they do not really know how to answer certain questions. With regards to this, we advise you to treat this document as a guide to help you in your formulation of your resume and not as a strict set of questions you have to adhere to. Answer the questions in the guide to your best abilities and exercise flexibility in making your resume! For questions that looks "awkward to you", you might want to consider trying to answer them in the way u think it should be, do exercise some creativity! I hope this helps alot to all of you(:
Secondly, a large amount of you commented that you were unaware of what is our vision and our mission as mentioned in the resume guide. The answers to these questions were provided to you quite some time ago, both in verbal dissemination and also in certain documents that we have sent to you all previously. (have fun searching!(: However, even if you don't know, you can always answer it as how you think our vision and mission should be and why do you think this suits our cca best and helps to spread the awareness of our cca etc.
NOTE: All Members are required to go through the interview!, irregardless of external commitments that result in your inability to be voted in the exco. The rationale is that the exco values your judgement,hopes and also your take on your fellow peers.
Thirdly, I would like to introduce to you a few more members who have joined our cca! The are: Catherine and Jin Ming! Please help them catch up with the affairs in our cca, and the both of you, complete your resumes asap by T2Wk3! I'm sure you do not want to be void of the chance to be in the exco!
Fourth, for the SIG Day performance which will pioneered by J1, i'm pleased to announce to you all that some of you have eagerly volunteered as in-charges for this event. They are: 1. Ng Ying Hui 2. Verity Poh 3. Joshua Lee They will be leading you all through the planning and the execution of these events. Do show them your full support and co-operate when they dedicate tasks to you! Actively contribute to this event, not only to add value to the SGC but also to display your potential leadership and decisiveness. Should you need any help, e.g. booking of venues, announcements, or anything that is unfamiliar to you, do approach these 3 ppl str8 away, who will direct towards your supervisor, Jiawei(:. Alternatively, you can also approach putri and mi straight away.
Do enjoy this process of planning and execution and expect more of such procedures once you have taken over!

DETAILS OF THE ACTIVITIES PROPOSED FOR SIG DAY
after serious discussion, the exco have proposed 2 sets activities that we are going to organise and execute simultaneously during the SIG day. They are:
1. Sight Playing Workshop i/c: Jing Wen and Aloysius The Sight playing workshop is open to the whole school and we will be sending out sign up sheets to take note of the confirmed audience. Venue: LT2(tentative)
2. Performance by JC1 members i/c: Jiawei(supervisor), and some JC1 members(to be decided by jiawei) Venue: Atrium(tentative) Basically, this is a backup plan if the sight playing workshop doesnt turn out very well. While the JC2s are carrying out the workshop in LT2, JC1 will be performing pieces at the atrium to catch the attention of the school. People that are not involved in the performance will act as ushers to encourage the audience watching to go to LT2 for the workshop. This is a very good opportunity for JC1 as it is good to spruce up your profile! For people who havent perform during get high, i strongly encourage you to perform this time!However, existing jc1 members can perform. But do note that many jc2 will not be performing this time. This is also the time for you all(JC1) to display your leadership as we will be dedicating the organising process of this activity all to you! of course, you will be under the supervision of our very experienced and caring exco member, JIAWEI!(: She will guide you along and will be helping us to spot potential future exco candidates!
That's about it, and we'll will be explaining it more to you during the meeting.

PLAN FOR SIG DAY(Term 2 Common lunch)
As i have already mentioned to you all in the previous meeting, we have to organise some thing for the SIG Day to promote ourselves to the school. As we have already organised and executed the performance recently, i'm sure most of us are tired and would not want to perform again. Besides, there would be alot of other IG who'll be putting up performance, so it'll be kind of boring and no creativity.
So after a discussion among the exco, we decided to organise 2 workshop simultaneously which will take place at 2 LTs.
They are: 1. Beginner Class Workshop for absolute beginners This workshop will be targeted at the school population who have no knowledge how to play the piano but have a strong interest in music. I/C: Jing Wen and Putri?(not confirmed)
2. Sight Playing Workshop for intermediate players This workshop is targeted at the rest of the school who already knew how to play the piano but want to gain some additional knowledge and techniques in mastering an area which the exco feel many abled piano players are weak at. I/C: Aloysius and JiaWei?(not confirmed)
So those in-charge ppl, i nid you all the write out your proposal for the workshop, like wad to teach, your set of lecture notes, venue, wad equipment you nid etc. Please do during the holidays and try to complete it asap. To the all members, all of you are supposed to help out in this event in one way or the other. We'll be engaging some of you all in logistics help, ushering, assistants etc. The rest of you that are not involved in any duties are still expected to attend 1 of the workshop as it well, falls on one of our cca days and attendance is compulsory.

Hello everyone!
Get High! is over! and i'm sure many of you enjoyed yourselves during the event! It was a superb success and as you all can see it, it was FULL HOUSE!! woah!
Firstly, I would like to thank my exco, for putting all their meticulous effort in planning the event. To Jia Wei especially, who was the most busy of all of us confirming all the pieces for the performance, and even getting the tee-shirts for all the j1s! To putri as well, who gave us all your support and encouragement and valuable improvements such that we look so high class today!!
Next to the performers! I'm sure most of you enjoyed yourselves on stage as i can see all of you all playing with pride and i could really feel the essence in all your pieces! Through this performance, i hope all of you have gain insight into how it feels like performing on stage and i hope this can help you all to build up in your confidence for the rest of the performances we'll be expecting.
To boonhao and wanxian who were the emcees, though you guys were last minute, i could see that the both of you all have really put in your effort in sprucing up the atmosphere of the audience and taking care to pronounce all our names correctly!
To the ushers, thank you for your endurance in standing through out the performance and guiding the audience! I hope you enjoyed yourselves!
To all the members, thank you for attending this event and showing moral support for all the performers! I hope this enthusiasm in all of you can continue to rock on, and to the juniors, to continue our pride and glory!
Anyway for now, JC1s, please spend your holidays in writing your quality resumes, and those that i've talked to you all about the taking of the beginner class thing, confirm your pair and tell us next cca session.
JC2s, there's still a one last event the SIG day in term 2 which will be our last event. Before this, we'll be spending our time plannning for this and continuing our beginner class and hand-holding period for the JC1 and the handover process as well.
to the JC2 exco, please kindly remember to type out the interview questions and send to me before the holiday ends so that i can look through it and approve it!

To all performers for the Get High event,
Please rush down from your lessons sharply at 12pm to LT2 straight away! You might want to ask your teacher to let you off 5 minutes early so you wont be late! Practise your piece diligently for this few days and practise the bowing procedure we have been teaching you! Just a gentle reminder: When you name is called, you will proceed to the piano and take a polite bow at the audience and pause for a while before sitting down on the piano. While the emcee is reading out your introduction, poise yourself in an elegant and comfortable manner and calm yourself down! When the emcee stops talking, you may begin with your performance. After you finish playing, remember to bow and pause a while(for phototaking purposes) before proceeding back to your seat! Dont forget to do any of these procedures! Remember there are VIPs(teachers) who will be watching our performance and we certainly want to portray ourselves as professional performers! And, remember to sit in the order and stay back after the whole event for phototaking! And, JC2 performers, please remember to bring your tee-shirt and change into it before the performance.
To other members, You are suppossed to turn up for the performance as audience or helpers(which we will inform you on the day itself) unless you have an official reason as the performance itself falls on our cca meeting time. Recall, Week B tuesdays 12pm to 1pm. Attendance will be taken, and remember, under the Key Performance Indicator, i'm sure i dont nid to explain more. Now, during the performance you will be sitting in as audience, behind the performers. When the audience are streaming into the LT, you are expected to guide them around and urge them to settle down asap. After the whole event is over, please stay back for phototaking and some important announcements.
To JC2 Exco, WE will be leaving class at 11am to take our lunch, i.e. no financial literacy talk for us(: Whee! then, we'll be going to LT2 to setup the stuffs and get everything ready for the performance to start on time. And if you have any announcements to make, remember them and we'll be making them after the event.
And attached below is a poster of our get high event! please look at it and try to encourage as much people to come for the event!! Tat's all that for now, Jing Wen

To the performers who are performing in the Get High! Programme,
We'll be having a dry run tomorrow 3pm at LT2.
I'm aware that most JC1 members are released very early. However, as it is compulsory for all JC2 to witness the "A" Level results release as well as some JC2 have to collect their H1 Mother Tongue results, most of us will only be free after 3pm.
Hence, the rehearsal will start at 3pm. Please be punctual. If you have lessons later than this, come after your lessons.
