Nanyang Festival of Arts 2009 -- Ushering Duties

Guider-in-charge: Mdm Ong Chiew Inn
I/Cs: Kah Mun (302), Evie (303), Ping Zheng (311), Michelle (314)

The Festival of Arts is where Nanyang's SYF Performing Arts teams will be putting on a show.
It will be held on 11 July, Saturday, with 2 time slots - 2.30pm and 7.30pm, at Nanyang's school auditorium.

Sec 1-3s will be servicing the performance as ushers, doing duties such as distributing program booklets, stationing at the reception, assisting in movement of the audience, escorting VIPs, and assisting in tea reception (only for the earlier show @ 2.30pm).
These duties are only before and after the show. During the show itself, Guides are likely to be stationing and different areas outside/in the auditorium.

The attire will be hongzi with blue blazer. The reporting time should be 1 hour before the show - 1.30pm, and 6.30pm. Your shifts should end about half an hour after the show. We are guessing that the show will be around 2 hours, so your shifts should be ending at 5pm and 9 pm respectively.

On the day itself, the Guides will be split into two shifts, and the manpower allocation will be out by 12 June. This is why we need the Sec 3s to collate the information such as whether you are going for either of the shows, whether you are free for the other slot (or both), and whether you can borrow a blazer for the duty. For those who bought a ticket to one show and are able to make it for the other show, your shift will likely be at the other show, we will not allocate you to the shift of your show.

Please tell the Sec 3s in your patrol the following information:
1) Whether you have bought the ticket and for which show
2) If you have bought a ticket, state whether you can make it for the other show.
E.g. If you have bought a ticket for the 7.30 show, will you be able to make it for the 1.30pm-5pm shift?
If not, which shifts can you make it for and why not.
E.g. Can make it for either shifts/Cannot make if for 1 shift - because of tuition.
3) Whether a blue blazer is available, and if not, what size?
(If you do not have one, a blazer will be borrowed from the General Office.

And include the Patrol you’re in and who collated the information.

Please help your Sec 3s by stating clearly the following info, or she would have a hard time collating for the patrol! And thank you Sec 3s!

Send the information in to ggfoa09@gmail.com by this Tuesday, 9pm. The deadline has been extended due to too much information being left out at the announcement. Sorry and thank you!

Talentime proposals.

Hello everyone!
Some of you might not be very sure about what to include in the talent time proposals you're supposed to send Kakay and me by this week, or latest next week. Thus here's a reminder of what you need to include!

Groups need to email the i/cs, Kakay & Suying a brief description of your performances. You also need to include, in your email, the songs or props required for your performances. Label your CDs with the title of your performance, your group leader and her patrol.

Kakay's email- kong_ka_kay@hotmail.com

Suying's email- mee1301@hotmail.com

Badges and Testwork session updates!

Badges!
Firstly, this is a reminder to all guides that the writer badge as well as other self clear badges will be due this Friday. Do get your Lang arts teacher to acknowledge if you haven't already done so (:
Here are various points to take note.
1) Guides are only required to submit the acknowledgment slip on Friday, no need to attach essays behind.
2) Some of you might be wondering about the reader's badge. Since we're required to read books, how do we prove to the Lang arts teacher that we've really read the books? Thus, Guides will have to either write a short paragraph summarizing the main content or plot of the book ( to show your Lang Arts teachers) or can alternatively choose to speak to their teachers about the book.
3)Speaker's badge will be optional for the company but Sec 3s will be able to fulfill the requirements for this badge during the current affairs testwork this Friday. ( Sec 3s, look below for more details.)

Testwork session this friday
1) Since some of the sec3s have already completed all or almost all the testworks allocated to the company, you can choose to complete the current affairs testwork and clear the speaker badges in the process.
Here's a preview of what you'll be doing to clear the testwork. ( No prior preparation needed, everything will be done on Friday itself). You have to choose an article on a particular topic( a list will be given for you to choose a topic out of those provided), then you will be given some time to prepare a speech about the topic with relation to the article. You will be required to speak to the testers ( PGA candidates) and they will also ask you some questions about the article.

3. All Guides who are unable to attend CCA are to submit a signed excuse letter to the ACLs.

4. Sec 3s and Sec 4s, please stay back for about 15-30 minutes after CCA ends.

Creative Outdoor Cooking Competition!

Hello everyone!

Next week’s CCA(22/5) is a creative outdoor cooking competition:D

The theme for this competition is… GO GREEN!

For this competition, the Sec 2s of each patrol will have to come up with a proposal regarding what dish your patrol will be cooking. The dish should adhere to the theme above:)

Here's what should be included in your proposal:

Proposal for Outdoor Cooking Competition
Patrol
Name(s) of Sec 2s
Brief description of the dish
How this dish adheres to the theme [briefly]
Logistics needed [in a table format- include pots of specified size, cutlery that you will need, ingredients, etc.]
Manpower allocation on that day[who is doing turfing and who is doing food prep]

As it is quite rush, you can go ahead with your plan after you submit the proposal(unless we notice something very wrong with it). Please send your proposals to nanyang.guidesbatch06@gmail.com by next monday, 18 May 2009, 9pm.

Thanks:D

Proficiency badges

hello everyone, (:
since the tagboard has a limited space for words in a tag, I felt it would be easier if i replied the tags in a post instead. Hopefully it'll be clearer too (:

1) To shuhui : A commonwealth essay is an essay that we( sec4s) are required to write for Lang arts, not very sure about the other levels. Dont worry about it, we're using it just as an example. Stating how you cleared the clause is for guides who have written an essay before and want to use it to clear this badge as well. Thus, we state what essay we've done before ( must be seen/marked by lang arts teacher). However, not to worry if you've written a new essay for this badge. You can show it to your lang arts teacher, and after he has seen it, just ask him/her to initial at the side of the clause.

2) To JiaChun: nope you dont have to do the last clause since you've a grade 7 cert already. Just get your music teacher to acknowledge that you've completed the clause (:

3) To Vanessa : You're supposed to do it in front of the tester ( Lang arts teacher), not during testworks session. (:

4) To Bernadette: yes, you can use the fps scenario writing story if it fufils the requirements.

5) To Tingting: nope, you dont have to attach the things you did, you only need to submit the slip (:

6) To yeekhoon and all who are confused over clause 3 of the writers badge: Clause 3 writer's badge is to be done in front of a tester, its like a mini test. Regarding the punctuation test, as long as you know how to use punctuations, you dont have to take the test. And since, LA requires usage of punctuation, this part on punctuations is auto clear for everyone.

Feel free to raise questions when unsure. We'll try our best to answer your queries. :D Thanks!
