The accompanying teachers are: Mr How, Mr Leong, Mr Long, Mrs Ho, Ms Chong, Ms Suganthi and Mr Lim HC

It dd not take long for the students to know each other as Mr Leong gave them their 'assignments' prior to the trip.

The students were told to create a Personal Information Card (PIC) as a meeting gift for their Vietnamese friends in October

The PIC should consists of:

1. Personal information (bio-data, family, school, class, CCAs, best  

  friends, etc)

2. Significant events in your life so far e.g. First overseas trip

3. Interesting things about yourself e.g. Hobbies, what you usually do

4. Talents (if any) e.g. You can play the violin very well

The students were also divided into 5 different groups to give them the opportunities to work with other people and make new friends

 Teacher i/c : Mr Long

 Teacher i/c: Ms Suganthi

 Teacher i/c: Ms Chong

 Teacher i/c: Mr Lim HC

                                                                        Teacher i/c: Mrs Ho 

To ensure that the trip is meaningful to them, the groups drew lots to work on 5 topics related to Vietnam prior to the trip:

1. Geography of Vietnam & HCMC (Group 4)

2. History of Vietnam & HCMC (Group 3)

3. Different religion & Etiquette in Vietnamese homes, Cuisine (Group1)

4. Cu Chi Tunnel, Agent Orange (Group 5)

5. Vietnamese greetings and Festivals (Group 2)

In line with our school's philosophy that every pupil can achieve his/her potential, we are glad to appoint Yamin and Zun Hong as the Team's leader. Small group leaders will be selected by the group themselves.

Our 2 leaders! Yamin and Zun Hong : )

Next meeting: 3 September 2014 , 2.45pm,  MR1 

Students who have yet to submit photocopied passport to give it to your respective teacher i/c.
