VCIP Pre-departure Briefing for Parents

It was 7pm on 16 Otober 2015.

Almost all parents were able to be here in our NVSS AVA room for a pre-departure briefing. Mr Leong took the lead with the help from our fellow teachers as well as our representatives from IPC - the tour group which will bring us to Vietnam.

Questions from parents were addressed. Students were excited to see possible 'homes'.

It was a very long day, alright. But it was fun!

prep prep prep

Prior to our departure, we had so many days of preparations. Meetings and meetings and more meetings!

Set either in MR1 or Computer Lab 1, the teachers were there, taking turns to guide us, supervise and facilitate our preparations. Too many were in our heads - maybe that was because - we were all very creative. Unfortunately, time was not on our side. Exams, PEP etc... were our major obstacles! Hahahaha!

Anyway... enjoy!

You Are in the Team for A Purpose

Dear students,

I am very happy to say that you are bonding as a group. Keep those camaraderie going. 

However, the biggest concern now is your welcome performance. I appreciate all your efforts in wanting to do something different, we also need to be mindful of the short runway we have to perfect the performance. I hope that each and everyone of you knows how important your role is in the team. So I hope all of you put in your best efforts.

A few things you need to prepare/remember:

1. Biodata due on 16/10 - Show your teacher i/c on 16/10 during the meeting.
2. Please borrow a tie from your friend - you will need to put on tie on the first day of school
3. As for the boys - borrow/buy a pair of NVSS long school pants
4. Parents briefing on 16/10 Friday at the AVA room at 7.00pm
5. Submission of passports to Ms Janice Lim on 19/10. (you may want to give earlier on 16/10)

All of you can also start to bring items you want to donate. Please adhere strictly to these items only:
1) Clothes - washed, clean and not torn
2) Stuff toys - in clean and good condition
3) Books/Stationeries - picture books only no novels please
4) Toys - clean, workable condition

Rule of thumb, when you are not sure can give or not: Just put yourself in their shoe, will you feel offended if you receive the donated items?

Lastly, good news. Your CIP t-shirts are ready. Will probably be collecting on Friday. Will let you know via Dian and Weixiang if can collect.

regards,
Mr Leong
