Victoria Challenge 1B
1B, congratulations on your completion of the Victorian Challenge! Despite the difficulties we've faced from the initial conception stage to the actual execution itself, you boys have proven yourself determined, resilient and enterprising.
We made a profit of $1,461.50 by merely selling drinks - good business model, isn't it?! Out of this sum, your willingness to donate $1,310 to Victoria's EDGE Fund is very commendable. With the remaining sum of money (not much, looks like I'll have to top up after knowing your tastes!), rest assured we'll go and makan with that one day.
Anyway, the challenge was not about how much we money we had made. Rather, it is the life lessons that we learn during the process of the challenge. You boys have demonstrated the importance of teamwork (the delivery boys and bartenders!), innovation (Chemist Failure!) and being focussed and goal-driven ('Mr. Tan, how much money have we made?' - asking me this every 15mins!).
I've also manage to learn more about 1B as a class, as well as the individuals which I had to work very closely with. I am sure you have learnt more about me during the Challenge.
The Challenge may be over, but the 24hours where 1B have toiled, cried and bonded together will be etched in our memories forever.

National Schools' Sailing Championships 2007
1B, how's everyone doing?
Have you wondered where has Mr Tan disappeared to? Well, Mdm Farrah and I have been with the Sailors for the National Schools Sailing Championships since Tues, and today is the last day of the races.
Hope you boys are behaving well during my absence! We have much to catch up when I return to school next week!

Leaders in you
Hello 1B
Xuan Jie has been elected to become a prefect and let's all give him a pat on the back! I believe he is well-suited for the leadership role and do give him your fullest support!
As Xuan Jie will be taking on more responsibilities as a prefect soon, we will need another leader to fill his current post of the Assistant Monitor.
Next Tuesday, I will call for nominations and so think about who else in 1B you would like as your Assistant Monitor. The person must be someone whom you think serves as a good role model for the rest.
1B, ALL of you should take on leadership roles during your studies at VS. You will have MANY opportunities to be leaders in the student bodies, CCAs, class, group projects, etc... VS is perfect ground for you to hone your leadership capabilities as you learn and serve the school and beyond.
The next big event would be Victorian Challenge which many of you are leaders in your own cell groups. Do work closely with everyone and give your Heads your fullest support.
1B, we can do it! B for BRAVO!
