Update: Important Dates for GreenlinkHihi
greenlinkers!
It has been past mid-march and April is coming!!!!
April, an important month for Greenlink and her members. There's the Sigma Day, EarthWeek and the Recycling Competition. 3 events in the same month! April shall be a busy month for all of us, so all of us must strive on and keep moving on k? Let's turn this busy month into an enriching and fulfilling one, and may all these be a memorable experience that will bond us even more. Recycled paper-making was really fun, seeing the red paper pulp and imagining them to be minced meat.... Lol haha.
Mm, there hasn't been a proper black and white notice given to you all on the important dates, so I shall post these dates on the blog to remind us of these events in case anyone has forgotten or have not even heard of them.
Busy April1) April 9 (Wednesday) : Sigma Day for the secondary school students. It's a chance to promote our school, our science aspect of the school, as well as as our CCA so that they may be interested to join our school and even our CCA when they come over to study here next time. So treat it as an investment for the recruitment in the future... They will be coming over to our school and we gonna be mini teachers to these students after lessons from 2pm onwards... Keep this day free!
2) April 21 to 25th: Earth Week. The Sigma Day is an outreach to the secondary schools, while the annual Earthweek is an outreach to the NJ population within the school... To increase some environmental appreciation in the school as well as to promote our CCA. Earth Day is on 22nd April. This week can be foreseen to be an ultra busy full week for us, so be mentally prepared. Try to do the tutorials and any revision for this whole week beforehand, because we will probably be very occupied with Earthweek to be thinking hard for our homework.
3) There's the Recycling Competition in this week too. So other than be mentally prepared, we have to be physically prepared too, to do some manual carrying of recyclables....
MayMay will the common test month for the j2s already, so the activities load will be less as well...
But for j1s, most probably you all will be busy preparing for the Energy Audit in July (or even earlier) this year, to promote Energy Conservation to the residents! So recruitment for volunteers for this project will be a pre-task. Advice: Start recruitment early! July will be too late...
JuneJune we will be busy again, but only up to the 1st week, if not then the most the most up till the 2nd week.
4) Sigma Junior Science Week in the first week, similar to the Sigma Day but this time the target audience are the primary school students. Similar aim to say hi to the primary school students so that they may come to NJ to study in the 6-year programme and perhaps even join us next time. But this time the Sigma Junior Science Week will be the juniors leading us.
5) June Camp when all memories between the Greenlink seniors and juniors will be consolidated to be deep-etched memory for years to come. Also for the election of the Greenlink Exco for 08/09. Seniors will be leaving after this to be in full force for A Levels... =(
July
Juniors will be on their own... For the Energy Audit, as well as the Green Audit...
So what's the green audit? It is to assess the green-ness of our school.... It's like a survey of many pages and each year we have to answer the questions to assess the school each year. What's its significance? At the school level, it may help the school win some green award; at a more personal level, we get to understand the green-ness of our own school... Some questions are on surveying the NJ population, so to help the juniors a little on this green audit, we have the compulsory audit aspect for the Earthweek so that when you all have to submit the audit later in the year, you all will not be so flustered to gather the many answers as well as manage your studies.....
And months to come..... Juniors will have to jiayou!
Oops, unconsciously I have already typed the schedule of events up till June..... as updated from today... As for what else that may pop up or be changed in between, will have to see furthur updates.
For now, let's jiayou jiayou for April together!
We are all in this together, so let's show support for one another! Less active members please do show your support as well.
Loving green always,
yili =)
