Here are the minutes for the 2nd meeting of IFD '09.

Agenda: Discussion of activities for the different levels, as well as the hall programme.

There have been a few minor adjustments to the overall aims of International Friendship Day.

AIMS

  •  Promote the understanding of different cultures
  •  Inculcate the meaning of friendship in students
*

There have also been changes to the activities for IFD '09.

Note: the following are all TENTATIVE.

SEC 1

  •  Create a poster for IFD '09 based on the theme of ASEAN
  •  Venue: Parade Square. In case of inclement weather, the activity will be shifted to the respective classrooms
  •  Suggestion: design a worksheet for teachers to use (i.e. rubrics, possible ideas, etc.)

SEC 2 & 3

  •  Movie screening (suggestions: My Neighbour Totoro, Pompoko)
  •  Venue: Hall
  •  If timeslot provided is too short, the movie can be continued after school is dismissed that day

SEC 4

  •  Pop quiz
  •  Venue: Auditorium
  •  3 volunteers from each class will answer questions based on the themes of ASEAN and international friendship. The rest of the students will be watching the quiz (questions to be confirmed)
  •  The first volunteer to press a buzzer/bell will be allowed to answer
  •  Questions will be asked by an emcee (who is to be confirmed)

Basically, games, food-tasting and trip memorabilia displays have been scrapped for the Lower Sec students, as well as the movie screening for Sec 4s.

*

Events for the week leading up to the celebrations have also been planned.

  •  Static displays under the staircase with the Victorian Anthem
  •  Sushi-making at the canteen
  •  Get Indian, Chinese and Vietnamese students to prepare their own ethnic food (to be confirmed - we need to ask them first)
  •  Fishing Game (tentative). In this game, students will stand behind a barrier, and use a rod attached to a line and net to scoop up cans from a tub of water. The more cans successfully "fished" out within a certain time, the higher the student's score (Jordan in charge of logistics and resources for the Fishing Game)

  •  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.
