hi guides,

The whole company will be down for either the RV Big Walk, where you have to distribute water bottles to people and to encourage them. This would take up 18 people, those who had volunteered earlier on, pls report ur names to main comm, through email or sms also can. =) U will remain as helper for big walk.

For the rest, u will be involved in the ug parade. For these, we will need 21 ppl. There will most likely be rehearsals for this parade which would most likely be in december. Any further details will be given at a later date.

The people for each duty hasn't been confirmed yet. Any further confirmation or details will be given at a later date.

For now, if u are a walker, and has already handed in ur consent form for it. Hmm, u need to tell the general office that u will need to withdraw. But rmb to explain it well, if not the school ppl might blame u. So, tell them that it is only now that u are informed that u are involved in guides duty on that day. So, u will need to withdraw.

I know PSLs have duty on that day, so nvm, it's ok.

Please take note. Enjoy ur holidays! =)

Hi guides.

For the first 2 hours, we will be practising for the performance item. Then, the next 2 hours we will be having a dry run, as in run through the whole program, including the MCs. So, performance ICs must be prepared, like rmb to bring your songs (if you have). And people pls try to make full use of the time provided to polish up or practise your performance!! The attire for this is pe shirt and blue skirt. We will meet in the canteen, but most likely is at the piano side, coz have exams on the other side, so we aren't allowed to be there. Any further details for rod will be given on 2 nov.

People who hasn't given me your consent form, pls pls rmb to bring it on mon, it's your last chance....so rmb to bring.

like the previous announcements, girl guides would be helping out during the RV Big Walk. So, we would need 18 guides all together. We will be choosing the people on 2 nov too.
