Hey 1e1ians,

I'm writing say a few things about the chalet, so please read on.

1. I would like to clarify the facts for the chalet.
Due to some complicated factors (which is long and difficult to explain), it is not possible to have a chalet that is initiated by the teacher (it's complicated. don't ask me why. *sigh*) So in order for us to have a class chalet, it must be initiated by the pupils. Hence we declare the following points for the class chalet.

- This is a class chalet organised by students from the class.
- Form teacher / subject teachers are invited by the class to the BBQ or to stay over.
- Students are reponsible for their own safety for any activities they plan in the day time (e.g. going to theme park, cycling, spending time in the park etc)
- Parents are welcomed to come / participate / interact with pupils / contribute food / stay.
As it is really difficult and inconvenient for me to explain why this is so, I would really appreciate if you can take it as a fact of life rather than questioning why. I understand if some of you are bewildered or feel like complaining, but I really try to do what I can in the face of the many apparent obstacles to having a class chalet. This class-organised chalet will still be paid for by your form teacher, who is sponsoring the booking of the chalet (: [of course, do be reminded that other expenses - going to theme park, food/drinks, BBQ will be borne by yourselves.]
Also, because this is *problem* is sensitive in nature, I'd appreciate if this part of the discussion is only kept to ourselves and not discussed with others to prevent bad consequences (such as - worse case scenario - a forced-cancellation of chalet .)
Others just need to know that 1e1 students are organising a chalet for themselves.

Please be sure to inform / remind your parents of the points mentioned above. If they still allow you to stay over with these points in view, great. If they don't, do just join the activities in the day and if possible the BBQ at night. Be open to your parents coming for the BBQ if they wish to. They are probably concerned about our safety at night or make it easier for you to go home at night if they do not wish for you to stay over.
I hope that there'll be no misunderstanding with your parents over this change in facts. If they need to verify facts with me, they can email me at koh_jamie@moe.edu.sg


2. Organising a class chalet is a big job. I strongly suggest for everyone who is interested to come for the chalet (whether staying or not) to offer help in the organisation. There is plenty to do, and it's not a job that only the class commitee should be involved in. E.g. logistics (meeting time / place, travel/transport details), BBQ, activities in the day, indoor games at night etc. So please do help make your class chalet work by being initiative and helping. Besides, if you are involved in the organising of a chalet, you'll have experience that's useful for organising your own chalets (for CCA, family, Sec 2/3/4 year end chalet) in future.

In any case, we will need the list of people who are coming, as well as people who are coming and staying for us to know then numbers in order to plan.
Please inform Darrel, Shi Ke or Denise if you are coming and/or staying once I confirm the date and location. I will post the details on the class blog once my booking is confirmed. (Thanks for patiently waiting thus far. I still have to make a few calls to confirm details.)



That's all for now. A naggy post - yes i know. Thanks for reading.

I really hope that we'll make our effort worth it by remembering that the class chalet will be the one chance for all of us to spend time together with our 1e1 classmates and teacher(s).
