farewell, welcome and do you know we have a celebrity in our class?

hey A15,

while we are very sorry to lose Cassandra, Enid and Jessica to A14, we are happy that they have a better timetable. Stay in touch, ya? I will miss Cassandra's "happy-go-lucky" zoned out look, Enid's slightly worried expression when I'm suanning her (kidding) and Jessica's sweet smile.

That said, let's welcome Tingkai. Don't play play, he's super pro at Chinese and a very friendly chap, from what I've seen.

And after seeing Risk, a student movie by Southeast CDC youth unit, I realised that Serena was in it after seeing the credits. Confirmed with Nadia of A12 that Serena is indeed in the movie. Way to go.

Know that term 2 is starting, I am reminded of the first game A15 played as a class, at the beginning of term 1, when the class achieved the seemingly impossible--passing the ball through everyone's hand in 4 seconds? i think that A15 is capable of so many more "impossible" and more important achievements, if we ALL support one another. the mutual support has wavered quite a bit as seen in O2 but what's past is gone. we can do better now.

From Wenwen:

ALL CHEERLEADERS PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THIS CAUSE IT'S REALLY IMPT.

Cheer leading practice will be on Monday from 10am-1pm. There'll be external instructors coming in to teach y'all. JingYi, that's your house captain btw (in case you forgot) has requested that 07A15 designs a house logo. So yep. That's all!

Happy holidays!

O2 Day Two Briefing

Good evening class,

it is disappointing that so little of you to turn up to welcome the second intakers today, and even worse when we and Jon were the only a15 ppl left (Jess was somewhr out thr). Please do exercise the Victorian Spirit, especially tomorrow when the OGs will cease to exist and 2nd intakers are split into respective CTs. Its very miserable for the Arts Fac's OG Atlantis to be the last OG group today as there were too little JC1s left.

Scribe: You are suppose to wear COLLEGE/SCHOOL uniform tomorrow and report to LT at norm assembly time. Bring along yr YJ PE ATTIRE as well as a black tee for girls as wet games WILL be played if you are supportive enough to take part in the activities before the split. Also bring along an empty 1.5 litre water bottle. Please take note that you DO NOT belong to Atlantis but the respective OGs that you are being allocated to. We shall be playing games tomorrow and Jon, WenWen and me will try to facilitate the game sessions. We will be playing games as followed: Concentration, Whacko, Lucky Number, Memory as well as the suggested TSD games, in no fixed order. A class dinner has been suggested after OG2 which ends at 5 tomorrow to allow the newcomers to feel belonging to the class.

OGLs: Report to PT at 7:15 and gather with fellow Atlanticans. Sharp.

We want to try as much as possible to make the newcomers feel at home. Our JC2s OGLs did a brilliant job two months ago and this time, not just the 3 of us but the entire class should come down to support the activities, despite the fact that O2 is strictly speaking not compulsory. Please have the VJ spirit up in your head, deep in your heart and all over you.

*for those who miss mr. ho's vjc life talk today, vjc students are suppose to follow a set of guidelines consisting of 9 sets of different forms of school-based activities from sports to aesthetics to academics. this to promote all rounded education and hence too a better student portfolio as well as nicer testimonials. you are encouraged to take on ccas of different forms as such. for demanding ccas be it sports or aesthetic wise, you are encouraged to participate in activities on your own basis to fill in the blank. this concerns your student profiling so please take it seriously. thank you.

all the best and don't take your results too seriously

hey A15,

yes, the results are super important and you have made so many good friends and it would super suck to be torn away just because of a lousy cut-off point but the system can't be beat yet.

last week's sunday times (yesterday) revealed that PropNex's top earner earned $800K a year. And he has only A-levels. He didn't go to Uni but he's outearning at least half the doctors and lawyers out there. And his passive income is probably way beyond theirs as well.

The thing is, he loves what he's doing, and he's great at it. and the service he offers is highly in demand and lucrative. so, don't think that less-than-perfect results will doom you forever and forever. they hurt, sure. but they don't kill. unless you let them.

I resent the cut-off point but that's not going to change the system. i hate the thought that some of you may have to go to other JCs but there's not much I can do to change that, despite glowing appeal support letters, because honestly, it's the points that talk under this system.

Seriously, the O-levels are just a very blurry picture of your true capabilities. It's just a stupid sprint. The A-levels are a marathon and a better test of your "fitness". Believe you are a much better student than your score says. Because you are.

I wish all of you well, wherever you are posted,
Ms Chia

biggest career and education fair 2007

I strongly encourage everyone in 07A15 to go to the fair this year as next year around this time, you'll be busy mugging for your CTs.

Education and Career Fair 2007
1-4 Mar, Suntec City, 11 am - 8 pm

For more information, go to http://www.careerseries.com.sg/.

It's RARE to have dozens and dozens of organisations / education institutions gathering at a place, including private sector organisations in the various industries, eg. Aerospace, Insurance, IT (Hewlett Packard), others (Rolls Royce).


JC2 - have to study for common test. Thus, JC1 students should not wait till next year.
