Thank you for everyone's support and suggestions/comments! Especially to the one who posted that lengthy reply in one of our surveys, we really do appreciate it!
An update about the things we suggested:
i) Canteen crowded-nessActually, right after we thought of packed lunches, we had another idea that somehow never ended up on the blog.-Collating every class' timetables and taking note of which SH free periods clashes with JH lunch breaks/recesses. Getting SH and JH students to take note of those timeslots so that they can find alternative places to study/eat/chat.eg. Kampung Arang (for SH students who have long free periods)-Encouraging JH & SH students to eat from school hostel canteen occasionallyMeanwhile, we will moniter updates from the school on the completion of the student lounge and study rooms. JH students, many SH students have moved to other parts of the school to study, while other SH students, please try to be more considerate and leave the canteen/share tables/let the JH students -- who only have 1/2 hour to eat -- use the canteen tables.
ii) ToiletsAs this is a new campus, we have not heard much complains about the school toilets. However, we will try to address the concerns some of you have about them. Meanwhile, things such as water being splashed on the ground, rubbish and *things* inside the toilet bowl, students have to play a part and BE CONSIDERATE.-Increase frequency of re-filling toilet paper.-Ensure school has regular maintenence of school toilets.iii) Auditorium tablesFor the sake of giving deserved credit, I hope the school -- or at least the SH -- has noticed that the auditorium tables do not SQUEAK as much as before thanks to another campaigning group who took the time to oil them. Appreciate their efforts and keep the auditorium (as well as other parts of the school) clean and functional.
iv) 158 busUnbeknownst to majority of the school, the school (and some students) has already informed SBS about our 158 problems and they have sent people to take note of the situation. We might be able to hear of some changes soon, but until they are properly implemented, DHS students can help to alleviate their own problems.-Encourage students to maximise space usage in 158 bus (ie. carrying their bag in front of them while standing; stand alternately instead of just one long line in the walkway; SQUEEZE)-Speak out POLITELY when students notice the PUBLIC refusing to move in/MOVE IN as long as there is spacev) Birthday babies LUCKY DRAWFor JH students who do not know, we used to have SCs who would get Mr Sng to pick out from a lucky draw box a random number of a person whose birthday was during that month they were carrying out the LD. The person picked would get a 'birthday present'. It made school morning assemblies interesting.-Return the LD and try to persuade the school to sponser interesting gifts.We apologize if we seem to be just all-talk-no-action. We are trying our best to do something to show that we care for the school and EVERYONE in it. This blog is just a start.
Meanwhile, everyone is trying their best to make school a better environment to study in, and lets
all play a part, not just
YESMAN!; WYLL; Nescafe; LLL; etc. etc. okay? :)
