Taken from http://www.girlguides.org.sg/cos/o.x?c=/ggs/pagetree&func=view&rid=5450

Dear Guiders, YAs and Trefoil Guild Members,

The Singapore Youth Olympic Games Organising Committee (SYOGOC) is inviting the public to take part in naming the very first YOG mascots. You may read more about the mascots and submit your ideas on the YOG website at www.singapore2010.sg/whoisthis

The naming exercise will run for three weeks from Friday, 14 August 2009 and will close on Sunday, 6 September 2009. The mascots and their names will be launched in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Attached are publicity materials for the mascot naming exercise which you may use to promote this activity. We are sure your Guides or Brownies, or even yourselves, may be keen to participate.

Results of FC Selection Test 2009

Dear Nanyang Guides,

These are the faces of your new Footdrill Commanders for the year 2010!

Congratulations to (from left to right, first row) Michelle, Sihui, Pingzheng, Meishan and Aurelia. (:
Si Hui will also be taking over from Huier as Chief Footdrill Commander.

Footdrill Commanders 2008 - 2010
Top row (FCs '08) Rayna, An-ning, Sandy, Zihui, Amanda(not present) & Ms Teng (:
Second row (FCs '09) Xiaoen, Sarah, HuiEr, Lingxin, Chinwen
Front row (FCs '10) Michelle, Sihui, Pingzheng, Meishan, Aurelia

A job well done to all the Sec 3s! Every one of you put in your best effort yesterday, and your performance at footdrill yesterday was the best the FCs have ever seen! Keep up the standards in your batch, remember all the solid, single bangs you've delivered, work hard as one squad and to set a good example for the entire company to follow, and do support your batchmates who will be taking on the role of FCs.

We would like to commend the Sec 2s as well, you stood under the sweltering heat and persevered through the footdrill session. Many new commands were taught to you yesterday, make effort to continually practise and remember them! You will be Sec 3s soon, we hope that the standard of your squad will be maintained and improved. Remember that footdrill is about self-discipline and unity; work on your rapport with one another, by practising together and learning through mistakes.

To the new FCs, have confidence in yourselves, gain the respect of the squad. A footdrill commander needs to be sensitive to the needs and ability of her squad, only then can she push the squad to stretch to their fullest potential and aim for even higher standards.

A Footdrill Commander should not merely be well-versed in footdrill commands, have a loud voice, but she should also have..
1. A decisive and steady attitude, constantly adaptable to unique circumstances.
2. A sensitive heart, to put herself in the shoes of the squad and never bask in authority alone.
3. A discerning mind, to be able to identify strengths and weaknesses of the squad and help the squad improve.

We believe that you have the potential and capacity to do so; give it your best and don't be afraid.



The squad is one, you are one with the squad.

Programme Schedule for 11th August 2009

Hey everyone!

Block tests are over and we hope you're having a good rest over the long weekend! All of us have been working hard for the block tests and we all deserve a good break. Hopefully you're all ready to begin another new week of normal school, as well as to attend CCA sessions :)

For the upcoming Footdrill Commander Selection Test this Tuesday, as mentioned in the earlier post, all Sec 2s, 3s as well as the Sec 4 Footdrill Commanders will be required to be present. Sec 1s need not be present. The programme schedule is as follows:

Attire:
Sec 2s, 3s and FCs: Full Uniform (with polished boots, hat, hairnet, spectacle hooks)

Things to note:
1) Please have sufficient rest before the footdrill session and make sure your bottles are filled before the session starts. Do revise your footdrill notes and skills before the session.

2) Sec 3s are to print a copy of the score sheet (which will be sent to Nanyang Guides Gmail) and pass it to the FCs before the test (containing your name, class and patrol). Feel free to approach the FCs should there be any queries (:

3) Those who are unable to attend CCA, please submit a signed excuse letter to the ACLs.

Happy National Day!

Love,
Your FCs :)
