The Annual Council Camp 2007 was held from the 23rd to the 25th of November, one day after the Pre-Orientation Camp. During this Camp all councillors discussed the direction of the Student Council in the new year (2008) and settled on various administrative matters, including the workplan and proposals to come. 2008 will be a busy year and we are committed to giving our very best. The planning has started, and it won't stop till we finish it. That is our promise to you. We also revamped the Synapse (Council Noticeboard, which can be found outside the Hall) and spring cleaned the Council Room in preparation for the year ahead. Councillors also had plenty of opportunity to bond with one another and work as a team. Pictures to come soon.
P.s. Zhong Ming tells us the Council Room is warm and fuzzy, so if you do pass by, peek in and check out the new colours!

Many great ideas are still in the pipeline so please watch this space for more information and updates to come.
HOT WATER DISPENSER
Please refer to the Resonance blog (Link found in Nav-Bar on the right) for more information regarding this facility.
An existing cold water dispenser at the back of the canteen (next to the Chicken Rice stall) has been improved to include a hot-water dispenser after the Student Council received feedback via the Resonance, that such a facility would benefit the student population. Please do let us know if you would like to see any other improvements or if you do have any feedback, via the Resonance.
