WHO are going to do WHAT and by WHEN?

Dear all,

(It's me again.)

Choir, I've observed something today. Something positive and encouraging.

You are taking initaitive and start to think and plan what you're going to do (for your task!). I've seen that some of you started to write down what you're going to do or your questions on the yellow papers I've given you. It's a good start. I can see that you're making improvement. KEEP IT UP!

Invitation to Choir and Ex choir members: ACJC Open House on 8 October

Dear all choir members,

I'd like to bring you to an Open House organised by Angolo Chinese Junior Colleage(ACJC) on 8October, from 1 to 6pm. Of course the venue is held at ACJC itself- Buona Vista.

Meeting time: 2pm SHARP.
(And pls have your lunch before 2pm!)
Meeting veneu: Hougang MRT Control Station

Dress code: Be yourself!
(It's only an open house, and pls don't wear as if we're going for clubbing ok!
So pls wear casually. But I'm not encouraging you to wear slippers/ flip flops as it's not very appropriate.)

Ending time: latest 6pm - as that is the closing of the CCA Open House.
Pls bring along your cameraphone / camera to take pictures and basic stationery.

Every year, almost every JC will organise an open house. The objective is to showcase their achievements/available programmes/courses/CCAs,etc to the existing potential sec4/5 students who may want to Jc, to parents and public too.

"Why must we go?"

"Let me emphasise the objectives clearly to you AGAIN. Just in case some of you are already blinded by the fact that you can see many males species there in a JC and forgot the originial objectives."

We're going there is for the following objectives :

- I feel that it's a good opportunity for us to see how other school sets up an open house. It's a very big scale - much larger scale than our annual CCA Open House. We can learn from them and apply what they've done in our CCA orientation day'09/whatever programmes we've in the near future!

- Not only that, it's benefitting you in the long way. You may be asked to run an programme when you're in class/JC/ poly in the future, you know. :)

- CCAs booth may be set up. So we can go visit ACJC choir booth and of course other CCAs too.

Just to refresh some of your memory, for those of you who went with me to the Internation Choir and Dance Festival at Genting Highland in yr07, i.m sure you've an unforgettable experience, esp,the last day- when we watched the finale performance. One of the performance was performed by ACjc choirs. Some of you still commented that there're so few girls and yet could produce such loud n beautiful voices! And not forgetting there're some guys who sang with funny expressions that amazed the audiences? They snapped their fingers and sang Acapella (hope i spell correctly)?

- In addition,it may be an eye-opener experience 4 us to see what Jc life is all about and their available facilities.

- After your completion of Sec4/5, you will be moving on to either ITE/JC/poly. So, by going to a JC open house is actually helping you to look far - look beyond yourself now. You may think that O level is still faraway, but some of you are sitting for Os next year!

"Who else are going?"
Jessica and jolyn will be joining us on tat day. (anymore seniors?) :):):)

"Hmmm.. I'm not sure if I can go leh..."

If you don't have any special program on 8oct, come and join us. I understand that u may want to celebrate with your friends on 8oct,as it's the last day of your exam.

Sure, definitely go ahead with your celebration AFTER 7pm on 8 October or after 8 October.
This open house is only an 1 day event. But you can still celebration with your friends on 9 , 10 ,11 and 12 October! 4 CONSECUTIVE DAYS LEH!

Choir, give it a thought and reply me either thru sms or in the tag box.

I'll look forward to hearing a reply from u-if u can or can't go.

Take care!
MdmJ
