Pictures!

Hi everyone!

Although CCA next week is cancelled, we hope you will still check the company blog regularly as the Sec 4s will try to post some photos to keep you in touch with Guides (: The following are some photos (dating way back, as early as enrolment ceremony!).

Stay tuned for more photos and have a great week ahead! :D

Love,
Sec 4s

Hey everyone!

Please take note that the Festival of Arts Fringe Activities for next week are cancelled/postponed till further notice. CCA is also cancelled for next week.

FC Selection Test 2009

Sec 2s & 3s,

please take note that FC selection test will be postponed till further notice.

For the Sec 3s, we'll be checking with Mr Chow if NDP/Founder's Day parade will go on as per before, and we'll work something out together.

We'll release some details of the selection test soon, so that all of you have time to prepare for it. In case the Sec 2s are unaware, we will be selecting, from your batch, a few of you to join the NDP squad for 2009 as well. So it's not just the Sec 3s who need to prepare for this!

Cheerios,

Your FCs (:

A special note from your CLs and ACLs...

Hey, everyone! A new term has started, hopefully everyone's rested well in the June holidays (:

There will be no CCA activities this week, due to the H1N1 situation. The school will continue to monitor the situation and we will update all of you again. During this time, spend your time wisely, be it on studies or with your family (: And do take good care of your health, yes! Drink more water, wash your hands frequently and don't fall sick! :D

The Sec 3s will be taking on leadership of the company gradually, from this term onwards. CCA sessions will be conducted by different Sec 3 I/Cs every week, so to the Sec 3s, here's a shoutout to your batch (: Believe in yourselves, support one another and yes, you can do it! And to the Sec 1 & 2 juniors, make sure you give your full support to your Sec 3 seniors, listen to them (: You'll be leading your patrols more now, also, so take care of one another and continue to keep learning and growing! (:

This is a random happy picture to give your eyes a breather (:

There are quite a few activities/initiatives lined up for this next half of the year, so look out for them! We will update the company on the Semester schedule at a later date.

The Sec 4s will be rostered down to come down for various CCA sessions, we'll still be around and do approach us if you've got any queries and come look for us if you miss us! (We'll miss you too (: )

Kudos to the Sec 2s for a job well done at GGS carnival last week! You guys have spent effort planning for this, and we're sure you've gained something out of this experience, in some way or another. Keep it up!

We'll like to raise the issue of the privacy of information here. Take note of what you tag on the tagboard, don't leave your personal information (like your handphone number!) on the tagboard. If such info needs to be given, find each other directly (: The internet is accessible to all, remember. Also, don't forget what the line above the tagboard reads, "Only one simple rule to abide by, RESPECT." The tagboard is a place for us to share our opinions (like "CCA yesterday was cool!" or "Talentime was amazing!") and raise queries, so let's keep it a happy place (: You guys get the drift. (:

Speaking on information, we'll like to give a gentle reminder. When you receive SMSes or emails informing you of something, please make sure you reply to them to acknowledge that you've received and read the information. (Simple reply like "Okay noted, thanks!") We have a SMS relay system in the company, which we activate in times of emergency or when there's important information to be passed down, so it's important that we can be assured everyone's gotten the message and nobody's left out! Take note, yes. (:

Yup, that's about it for now! We'll be updating yall on more things to come here, so do check back regularly! Xiaoen's in the midst of uploading the montage, and we'll be posting photos! So take care for now, approach us if you have any questions or if you feel like talking to us or anything (: We're all ears (:
Oh yes, and if any of you have ideas for a new blogskin (this one is temporary) or if you want to volunteer to create one, do let Xiaoen know! You can drop us an email at roosterice@gmail.com (: We'll be updating the links when we've got time! (: And if you have any ideas for CCA sessions, or if you'll like to initiate something in the company, we're more than willing to accept suggestions! We can all take initiative to bring positive changes in our company, regardless of whether you're Sec 1 or Sec 4, junior or senior. A Guide is friendly and a sister to all Guides! (;

That's about it for now, adios!

With much love,
Your CLs and ACLs (:

Festival of Arts Fringe Activities

Hey NYGG!

As the NYGH Festival of Arts is approaching, the school has some interesting activities lined up for all of us in the coming week! These activities are related to performing arts and it is hoped that we can gain more exposure to the performing arts, something different from what we usually do in our CCAs.

Everyone in the school, with the exception of the Performing Arts CCAs (because they are busy having rehearsals for their gala performance on 11 July) are strongly encouraged to and will participate in these activities, unless students have other commitments (e.g. 3rd Language, piano lesson/tuition lessons that cannot be changed to another day etc.). The activities that NYGG can sign up for are:

Forum Theatre
When? Tuesday, 7 July 2009, 4pm - 5.30pm
Where? LT2

This is open for all Sec 1 guides to attend. As the Sec 2 and 3 guides are required to be present for the FC (footdrill commander) selection test on the same day, they will attend CCA instead of the above activity. Sec 4s who are interested may also attend this activity.

Sec 1s, please email roosterice@gmail.com by tomorrow, Thursday, 2 July 2009, on whether you are able to make it for the above activity. Should you be unable to make it, please state the reason in your email. Sec 4s who are interested in attending the above activity may also email Roosterice gmail.

When? Wednesday, 8 July 2009, 12.05pm - 12.55pm (Lunch break)

NYGG has been allocated 10 slots for the above activity, and it is open to Sec 1s-4s who are interested to participate in it (:

All Guides who are interested in attending this activity are to email roosterice@gmail.com by tomorrow, Thursday, 2 July 2009, if you are interested in attending this activity. Participation will be on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Feel free to approach Sarah or Xiaoen should you have any queries regarding the above activities. Everyone is strongly encouraged and should attend these activities as it is a good exposure and a time for you to learn new things apart from what our CCA usually does :)

GGS Carnival on Saturday, 27th June 09 @ 10am - 4pm

Dear all who will be attending the GGS Carnival this Saturday, please take note:
----------

Dear Guiders,

We hope you have had a well deserved break and are all geared up for the new semester.

The GGS carnival that we have all been looking forward to is just days away. Please take note of the following:

1. There is no parking available at Guide House and the Bishan Sport Complex. However, parking is available at the ITE Bishan – about 100 – 200 metres away from Guide House. Parking there, although free, is limited. The next nearest carpark to Guide House is at Junction 8.
   
   
2. If you and your girls are coming as a unit and travelling in a school bus, please alight at the bus-stop down the road from Guide House. Please have the bus driver to pick you up at the same location as where you alight. We seek your cooperation in this matter to avoid any traffic congestion outside of Guide House.
   
   
3. We will definitely need to implement the temperature check and contact tracing procedure during the carnival. We need the help of all Guiders to take your own temperatures and your girls. You need to prepare a name list (Please download this form.) in advance of all your girls coming to the carnival. Please submit the name list to the temperature check counter at the HQ gate upon arrival. Those who are unwell or found to have flu like symptoms are strongly encouraged to rest at home.
   
   
4. Girls and Guiders who have just returned from any of the H1N1 affected countries within 7 days prior to the date of the carnival should not attend the carnival. Please refer to the following MOH’s website for the latest update on the affected areas: http://www.moh.gov.sg/mohcorp/default.aspx

Magazine Collection

Hello!

We are the ICs for West Division Day Card-Making competition. We need to gather a lot of magazines for the competition, so we would appreciate it if you can bring some old magazines from your home and donate them to us! The collection box is placed outside the guide room.

We also need coloured pens and markers for the competition, so if you don't mind lending them to us, please pass them to us, we're both in 303 :D

Thank you very much!
