Youth Mediation Week: Sing/Cheer Competition

The Ministry of Law’s Community Mediation Centre (CMC) will be organizing its ‘Youth Mediation Week 2009’ from 7 to 8 September 2009 to promote awareness of conflict resolution and spread the message that youths should ‘Talk-It-Out’ to resolve their conflicts. With the theme ‘Talk It Out!’, students will learn about mediation through an exciting array of activities, which include a Debate Challenge, a Sing/Cheer Competition and the Youth Mediation Forum. These activities would be excellent opportunities for your students to gain co-curricular experience and to showcase your school’s talents.

Twist & Shout Sing & Cheer Competition

In conjunction with the Youth Mediation week, CMC will be organising a Sing/ Cheer Competition where students can cheer, dance and sing their way to the competition. Participating teams must create original lyrics to a cheer based on the theme of ‘Conflict Resolution’ in a school environment, spreading to youths the key message ‘Talk-It-Out’ to resolve conflicts or quarrels. Entries must be original works by the participants. While the competition is open to all CCAs and other student groups (formal/informal), we thought that this competition would be of particular interest for the students in the Dance, Cheerleading and Band Clubs.

Finals of the Sing & Cheer Competition: Monday, 7 September 2009
Venue: NTUC Centre
Registration period: 22 June - 24 July 2009
Prizes: 1st Prize: $1,000 cash and a plaque
2nd Prize: $800 cash and a plaque
3rd Prize: $600 cash and a plaque

Any one interested?

Ok.
I know some of you are concern about the matter.

I know the band has improved and you all want to improve further.
The thing is, when you are in school, your academic comes first.
Though this year is SYF year, but SYF is over.
So teachers and the school would like performing arts students to concentrate on studies and catch up with other fellow school mates.
Yes, teachers do say words like "If you don't improve in your academic, we will have to pull you out from band."
Have you ever wondered that why teachers say that?
And do you think that teachers really want their members to get kick out?

The fact that teacher say that is to tell you that academic comes first.
When you graduate from this school, people would be looking at how many 'A's did you score and not how active you are in your CCA.

Imagine that you are the principal of a school.
Eveybody is not performing well in academic and average in CCAs.
Where would you want to improve the school first? Academic or CCAs.
Of course it would be the academic part.
And this is what happening in CHR right now.
And of course if the school is performing well, CCAs would also be well.
Good academic results would bring you further.

I'm not trying to say academic results is everything.
But you concentrate different things at different situations.
When it's SYF period, of course you concentrate on Band.
But when SYF is over, you should be concentrating on your academic.

All of you will be taking your 'O' level sooner or later.
The teachers would of course want you to graduate with good academic results and good CCA achievements.
It's good that you participate in Band and practice your instruments regularly, but please do take note that academic is also very important.

Mr Tan would also want us to have not only have better skills on instrumentation, also with good results to graduate from Christ Church to bring band in to another level when you are out in to the real world.
So I urge everybody to study hard when it comes to academic and play hard when it comes to band.

Another thing, our band really has no more money to function well, so please don't keep asking for more band practice with Mr Tan, we are already trying all sorts of way to squeeze in Mr Tan but please don't complain that time spent with Mr Tan is very little.

Band camp is coming. So let's be happy about it and enjoy the camp.
And those who have not pay the band camp money or the band tee money please pay everything by 11/06/09.
Thank You.
