Hi people,

Today was the first meeting for the organizing committee of International Friendship Day (IFD) '09, and here are the minutes.

Agenda: committee members and their duties, aims of IFD, outline for IFD celebrations (including activities and assembly programme).

ORGANIZING COMMITTEE

Chairman: Ernest

Co-chairman: Sidney

Secretaries: Ashley, Jordan

Performance I/Cs: Angus, Kasidet

Logistics: Ming Jun, Kian Chong
AIMS OF IFD

  •  To forge international friendships
  •  To learn about our citizenship
  •  To learn about different cultures and how they relate to us
ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES OF IFD

  •  Emcees and AV crew. Suggested: 2 "main" emcees for the assembly program, with "specialized" emcees for the Kyushu, Guangzhou and India trips.

OUTLINE OF IFD

  •  Date: 17 April 2009 (Friday). However, celebrations will run for the entire week.
  •  Assembly program must be more interactive - avoid boring the audience with PowerPoint presentations and speeches!
  •  Videos from Japan and China
  •  Overseas students and scholars translate school announcements into their native languages "live" (i.e. immediately after the announcement has been read).
  •  MORE FUN AND GAMES (minimize use of PowerPoint presentations!).
  •  Static displays at the canteen.
  •  Deploy people to man "stalls" and show videos of the trips.
  •  Scholars from 3D and 3H to put up presentations on their native countries.

The activities for IFD '09 will most probably be divided based on level.

Venues required (tentative) : hall, auditorium, field, amphitheatre, and possibly more.

LOWER SEC

  •  Games of different ethnic groups and countries (require resources - logistics department to look into this).
  •  Trip memorabilia (e.g. scrapbooks, souvenirs) on display.
  •  Teach them to cook food of different countries during Home Econs lessons (needs approval and confirmation from Mrs Melissa Lim and Ms Hashimah).
SEC 3

  •  The assembly will be held in the hall on a Monday, during the 3 CE-TT periods.
