To everyone

Councillors,

This Tuesday is it :(

The day when Secondary 4s will step down from Council.
The day when Secondary 3s will either step up to be EXCOs or be seniors of Council.
The day when Secondary 2s will be invested officially as councillors.

I hope that in the past one year, everyone had a uber good time in Council. Though there were times when you were stressed, upset, angry, I'm sure there were times when you were high, happy and just having fun. Whatever that has happened, in the end it'll help you to learn how to better be prepared for the future and make Council even better. I hope that Council will continue to strive for excellence, Per aspera ad astra. Go Council, forever (L).

Sec4s, let's treasure the last few days before the actual Invest. Council ftw! :)

Yours sincerely,
Kana

Invest Invites

Hey people

Just to update you guys on the Investiture Invites. Some councillors are passing the invites to some schools personally. Other than that, we had sent out all the remaining schools invites by post on 12 march. The invites for last year Exco and Deborah lee will be sent out to them personally soon. Yups that's all. (: enjoy your holi!

Cheers
Guest Relations

Hey councillors, the pictures attached are the information on the procedure of the investiture. please know it clearly. There are quite a number of changes. Please re-remember your numbers and groups because the previous one was too confusing. Sorry for the inconvenience caused! Try to familiarize with this new plan. We hope that there will not be further changes. If there is, we will upload it again(:
These are the musics we are using for investiture. Its just for your information.
This is the seating arrangement.

This is how the councillors will walk in and go down the stage.


The passing over ceremony. Before going back to your seats, the emcee will say something like 'presenting to you our Sec 2 councillors', then all the sec two councillors will turn to face the audience, then turn back before moving back to your seats.



These will be the instructions for councillors going back into their seats. For this part, we will further explain on Tuesday because the powerpoint is abit confusing.

This is the numberings assigned to you guys and the groups you will be in. Because some of you have changed the group, so for the posing part, you will follow your senior's actions.

NOTE: We are not going to use the torchlight idea anymore.

If there are any queries on the whole programme or any comments, just email to any of our group member. These are our full names:
Loy Yong Shin
Ang Jia Wei
Yap Xian Lynn Ruth
Deborah Loone Kaimin
Tan Ting Ting Charmaine

LOVE,

Invites

Hello!

This is the Guests Relations together with the joint forces of the Design team reporting. We are almost completing our invites. Our deadline's this tuesday, 10 march. Since the rest of the council might not know, the pictures below show the base of the invites.

On the outer part, there will be sticker "buttons"(circle-like shapes) to seal the vest.

On the inner part, a pale yellow paper will be pasted on it. The information is typed out on another piece of paper with the edges of it burnt. This is to create the "fire" image since our theme this year is, Be The Fire; Inspire! This piece of paper will be pasted on the pale yellow paper.

Remember the code with the word Council under it which is found on our CrezAwards'09 ticket? Yes, the ////// thing, only that it's straighter. Well that part would most probably be found at the bottom-back of the vest.

& hopefully there would be a wire hanger on the vest too! We are planning to use the wires used to make the names for valentines day. However, this can only be done if there are enough wires, and according to reliable sources there are still quite a number of rolls of wires so we are hoping that it is enough for 34 vests.
(Note: We made 40 vests in case of emergencies or last minute invites)

We will update you guys more if there are any changes or addition made to the invites.

Love,
Guests Relations and Design team ;D


p.s. WELCOME BACK SEC 2s!!

Hello! The idea has been settled for souveniers, we're going with the candle carving one :)
So we'll be carving invest theme, guest school name, 310309, thank you, CGSSC on the candle, like top bottom one side other side. Because customising it plus it's hand- carved shows our sincerity hehe, and also other ideas like no.2 has been used by other schools from previous years. Yup it's the cheapest, and its not that hard to carve either.
We tried it already, and it looks okay
In total it costs $26.10, so we have alot from our budget left. We'll continue with everything after sec 3's common tests. Good luck everybody :)
