March Birthday 2010

Q: How do you make someone know that you care? A: Remember things about that person, what he said, important dates regarding him etc.

Based on this theory, the Student Council is starting to celebrate all the councillors' birthdays this year! Not everyday or every week though... we are celebrating the birthdays every end of term.

This March-April period marks the first celebration that we have! From the photos, you could see that the councillors are all enjoying themselves! =)

Good job to the Admin Department!!

Trainee Briefing March 2010

After receiving recommendations and suggestions from the teachers, as well as self-nomination forms from Hendersonians, selected students were asked to attend an interview with the Council teachers and the current Exco. The interview served to help us identify students who are of a correct mindset to be a trainee councillor.

After the interview, the teachers and the Exco got together to select the finalized trainee list. These trainees were asked to attend a briefing on their duties and the structure of the Student Council during the March Holidays. They also got to know of the expectations that we have of all councillors i.e. Servant Leadership, Exemplary Conduct, and Integrity.

The Exco helped to conduct the briefing, and they did it professionally! Let's look forward to a great year ahead together!

Packing up!

Spring cleaning time has arrived for the Council!! Our Council room was in a mess, especially after all the logistics left over from the Sec 1 Orientation camp. Some time in March, our current Exco led by Michelle and other Sec 3 councillors volunteered their services one Saturday to clean up the room.

All the councillors worked together as a team, taking things out from the room and sorting them out into useful (especially for future events) items and not-so-useful (with respect to our operations) items. At the same time, another bunch of councillors was in the room cleaning up the place, wiping and moping even the hard-to-reach corners.

After several hours, we were finally (almost) done!! See how happy we are!! =DD

Sec 1 Orientation 2010

The Student Council of Henderson successfully conducted the Sec 1 Orientation Camp for the new Sec 1 students of Henderson, 2010. During the camp, the councillors organized various activities for the students to have fun and bond in their classes. The classes were led by their Peer Leaders, which comprised of not only councillors but also other students with exemplary conduct. During the orientation, the new Hendersonians learned more about life in the secondary school, as well as more about Henderson Secondary School. Our dear Sec 1 Year Head, Mr. Zubi Kek, led some of the talks with the children to orientate them to their life. Moreover, some alumni Councillors also came back to give their support and well wishes to the new batch of students.
