Hey all,
How come no one posted about
idc on the blog yet?Hm.We can't let this blog die people.I shall have the honour of reviving it.
INTERACTIVE DAY CAMP 2009We started at the basket ball courts with the camp commandants.I feel that the things to be improved here would be the instructors who were at the back of the commandants were fidgeting
alot and some were even talking among
themsleves.Some were even talking so loudly,like me.No denying there!Then another thing was the campers took too long to greet Ms
Ng when she came there.As instructors,we should have pointed out to the campers that she was behind them because it became an issue such that Mr tan had to point it out to us during reflections.
Then it was DC.Many thought the DC was of a high standard, but according to some seniors the standard was still not so high.But your opinions are still considered and maybe we can make
ammendments to the discipline next year or during induction.Then was the games.Good job to all on this part of the event.The games were very organised and orderly.However, the only flaw to be improved on would be the time taken for the logistics to have been prepared.Even then the instructors did a good job in covering up by organising short reflection times and,
erm ,singing sessions.Then we had the water game.It was more organised with a better objective than the one we had on great step 5 day.However the thing to be improved on would be the refilling system.
While everyone of us were playing,
abdullah and
faruq,along with some others,were mopping the floor,pleading us not to play in the canteen or spill the water.Perhaps a little self control could have been practised on all our parts(including campers) so that others wont have to suffer for our mistakes.Then the surprise task we had(which i wont elaborate on) was tackled real efficiently.No problems from what i saw there.Maybe we can discuss as a batch some other times.Apart from that,there was only one more problem in general.It was the giving out of items.Yes,it was our first time as instructors and i know that it can be a little exciting,but we still had to exercise some control on the power given to us to run the camp.There was a limit,if im not wrong,of not more than 2 items per person.Rightfully,a person must only have a single item.So maybe we should have spread this rule among ourselves before camp start.
I did this post not to offend anyone intentionally or find fault with anyone.But in my opinion,this were the points to be improved on.And im writing all this openly so that even if our juniors read it they will learn from our mistakes and put on a better show than us next year!But all in all, a job well done guys!remember,like our blog name insinuates,
united we stand and divided we fallAnd we shall never fall!~ariVindd
