Melvin's Reflection :D

I have been looking forward for the Learning Journey to Perth for a very long time already. i am very very excited for this trip. I am also looking forward to know more people from this perth trip as i do not know much people from this group. Also i wish to learn more about perth as i seldom go to other countries to visit. 

I am not physically prepared for this trip as i have not been to a country with temperature colder than singapore. I also have been thinking of how much to bring to perth as i do not know if i would much thing for my family. Also i am very excited for this trip as it is only 2 weeks from now. However i am not looking forward for the visit to the old folks home as i wanted to go to the orphanage to play with the kids there as it would be more fun. 

Reflection

I prepared this trip by researching the places that I will be going. I am very excited that this trip is just a few days away!! :D First we, 'the kangaroos' were assigned of the places that we would be researching on so that we will be ready for what we will see there and i chose to research on a town call Walpole. It is a VERY NICE place! A very attractive place for sight seeing. OoO The information that we had researched was nicely decorated into a glogster and we each had to present it so that others will be not confuse of what we had wrote. Then there was a parent teacher meeting in the evening.....we were lectured on the things to bring and what to wear.

We also had to prepare a performance for the old folks at Australia and the theme is christmas carols. We managed to discuss in the groups that we were assigned to and come out with what we want to perform. I think most of us are going to sing. hoho I hope that the old folks there will enjoy. :)

How have I prepared for this trip?
I have researched for the places that we are going and presented it on a glogster. For me, i found out about the nougat factory in Perth that i will be visiting during the trip. Through my research , i learnt that nougat is part of Australian lifestyle and nougat will be served during important occasions like weddings and birthdays. The members also shared their researches with us and I was able to be informed of and know the places we are going beforehand. This allows me to be prepared and look forward to the trip very much! Through several meetings for the trip, I was told that the temperature in Perth is slightly lower than Singapore and i was informed what to bring during the meetings. Also there will be a performance that we will be putting up for the elderly in old folks home during the trip. The members have decided to sing christmas carols for them. Lastly i am excited for this trip to Perth and visit the places there. :D

Joniel's Reflection

  I have been looking forward to this vacation as i am not traveling this holiday which makes it really suffocating to be trapped within this mini country . It's really thrilling to go overseas with friends which has been one of my 'hope' especially since many of my good friends are going too ! Honestly , i have not been preparing much physically but only mentally . I have been thinking a lot recently about what are we going to experience , how many sets of clothes i am bringing , how many pair of jeans , trench coat or jacket ? 

      I have been worrying about how much i should bring , 200 AUD ? 250 AUD ? Simply , these are what i am planning , how much i am bringing most importantly. I didn't put much thought into the old folk's home visit because i'm not really excited . I was hoping for an orphanage trip instead , seeing blonde kids running around is definitely more exciting than singing Christmas carols in front of the elderly . 

My Personal Reflection

Dear Kangaroos,

I want to also share my personal thoughts about this trip. Since all of u have already done up your 1st post in the blog, i think i should also share, so its not like teachers and the rest read what u posted, but also, u can also see what the teachers have posted. its a 2 way thing :)

What I want to achieve for this trip

Bonding. I always believe that the smaller the group is, the closer the bond, coz its easier to gel. Like it or not, we'll be spending 8 days together. During these 8 days, we are Family. And after the 8 days, i hope we still are. the 2008 Europe trip was special, not because we went to places, probably no other SKSS student will get to go, but also the bond we have, even after the trip. We came together as almost complete strangers, as many didn't know each other, but we became tightly knitted after our European adventure. We still reminence over the days we spent there. I hope the same can happen to us for this trip. All of us will help one another, all of us will care for each other, all of us will keep a look-out for each other. After the trip, we are not only friends, we are also family. On your part, i expect, or rather the teachers will expect, everyone to mingle and know the people around, and not just to stick to ur cliques. And when u get to know everyone, the trip is going to be much much more fulfilling and memorable.I have brought students out on many trips before, in skss, and my previous school, so trust me on this.

Learn as much as you can. Sometimes along our journey, you may be tired, or feel ill. try as much as u can to learn, and get as much rest as u can at night. I know, for a matter of fact, on our flight there, 90% of will be sleepless on the plane, but try to get some rest. The only time you will rest will be almost 24hours later. I also expect attention to be given to the guide when he/she is addressing us. Because, thats when u can learn, and also a matter of courtesy.

Be thankful. Be thankful of the people around you, the friends u make, the teachers caring for you (i can vouch that Miss Kwok and Miss Lin are very caring and wonderful teachers), the people who will provide for your accomodation and meals, the school for subsidising you, your parents paying for this trip.

Prove to everyone that you are really the cream of the crop. You are chosen for this trip due to your results AND your conduct. Please demonstrate this at all times. Be enthusiastic, be forthcoming, be the best in everything u do. Show everyone u have rightfully earned your place in this trip. I think all of you are aware of the people we turned down for the Australia trip, so show everyone u deserve to be here, and not because your can afford to be here. There's no shame in making errors, its the spirit of trying that counts. Everyone knows that, do you?

Ok, let's make this a really wonderful trip for everyone of us. Its not only the teachers, but its up to each one of us. For your info, If you don;t already know, I will take lots of photos. i forbid anyone from covering their faces when i do so. ok, i am going for geog consultation already. I'll edit the doc if i forget anything else.

G'day!

Mr Gavin Lee
