Dear members,

This is a reminder for every student doing AV duties (Morning duties, Hall Assemblies, etc) to do the following:

- Do only draw the keys (AV cabinet, Backstage, Control Room) out from the office no more than half hour before the duty starts.

- To go to the hall for AV duty 30 minutes before assembly starts. (unless you have a test or something very important during that time. Do inform your other duty members about it beforehand.)

- Inform ASAP to Mr Lee Liang Huat for any faulty equipment or additional equipment needed but not present. Alternatively let Mr Lee Kwei Wei or Mr Victor Lam know.

- Make sure all CDs and equipment are placed back to original location after use. (so that the next group on duty knows where to find them)

- Return the keys back to the drawer in the general office after everything is packed up. (DO NOT BRING HOME!!!)

We need all members to help make sure all these are done so that we are supporting one another.

Thanks!
Mr Lam

New photography project for Damai Sec

2011-07-07T11:15:00.000+08:00

I will be working on a photography project for the month of July and August. I need to form a group of experienced school photographers (3-4) to help me with this project. These photographers will need to take photos meant for our new school banners, revamp school website and for any slides for teachers and staff to use for presentation. They need to be professionally taken.

The tasks for this group are:
- to take photos of students and teachers in their teaching and learning environment;
- to take photos of students participating in their CCA portraying teamwork, concentration and enthusiasm;
- to select the list of photos for the project;
- to work with Mr Ho in 'beautifying' the chosen photos before archiving them.
(We should be looking at about 35-45 professionally taken photographs)

Any member who feels that he/she is able to do the job well, please approach me and let me know as we need to quickly plan out what needs to be done within these 2 months. Let me know by next Friday (17 July)

How to fill up the NYAA Diary:

Reflect on activities, record your thoughts and feelings as well as what you have learnt in the NYAA diary.

Example 1 (Service):
During the Earth Hour Event, I was in the Logistics group and I learnt many things. Such things included values that are very useful in our daily lives. One of them was the value of respect.

Respect was a very important value being shown throughout the whole 9 hours in the event. Without respect, I would not have been able to listen to orders by the seniors-in-charge.

Without respect, co-operation can be a good alternative that I have used throughout the event too. Being in a team will help to reduce the time needed to keep things going, especially when we need to hold an important event, for the public.

Working as a team too can be a very fun thing to do. I learnt that it is also important for us to enjoy ourselves and not feel lonely throughout the event.

Reflection by: Syazwan (2E2)

Example 2: (Service)
After the Earth Hour event, I learnt that just one hour can make a difference and help saved electricity if everyone contributes. During the event, I thought of an idea of making a light stick ball that can be thrown to the crowd when the singer sang 'We are the world'. The idea was a success and I was happy. I hope they get my message of the ball representing Earth.

Everything was fine until the band performance. The pianist was injured due to hitting the ceiling when it was moving in the backstage storage room. Luckily the teachers and organizers were there to assist and called for an ambulance to send her to the hospital asap.

From this incident, I have also learnt that accidents can happen at any time and we can prevent by being careful.

Reflection by: Yong Ting (2E1)

I will also be joining you for your photosubmissions. You just need to click on "Forum" after you login to the school's ask&learn portal where you can find the "Media Club Forum".

You should be able to do this assignment as this is what you do day in day out. Take meaningful and interesting pictures of you and your friend's life as a Damaiian.

Submission is compulsory for ALL members in the Photography Track. Borrow a camera from your friends and family members to take the pictures. If you do not do so, I take it that you are not interested in the photography track and wish to change to AV or some other CCA.

Photography track updates by Mr Lam

2010-07-18T14:10:00.000+08:00

Members in the photography track take note. You guys (and gals) have been taking life rather easy this few months. Some of you do not turn up for CCA, do not take part in competitions and simply tell everyone that you are in photography and there are not enough School cameras to go round so you cannot take pictures.

Starting next Monday, this will be good news for you (and the rest of the photography track members)... New criterion for being a member of the Photography Track.

1) All Photography track members must have a personal camera. The personal camera can be a DSLR, a compact camera or even a handphone camera. But the camera should be capable of taking pictures that you can print up to 5R prints at least. (i.e. 4-5 megapixels at least)

2) All photography track member must get for themselves the following items:

    a. A thumb drive (size up to you) for storing and editing personal photographs.

    b. A SD card for storing photographs taken using the school’s camera. (you do not need this
        if you are using your own camera)

3) All Photography track members must take part and submit weekly photographs taken based on the theme given every week. Submission is done online at the school’s Ask&Learn Forum pages. Members must submit 2 of their best shots weekly. These shots will be moderated and discussed by teachers and fellow students. These can also be used for future photography competition (inter-school or international). You may get CCA points for participating and winning in such competitions.

4) There will be a Inter-School competition “Bedok Reservoir” which is organized by our school. All Damai Photography members must participate. Please let the other members know about this. You can take scenery pictures or interesting people or places and activities around Bedok Reservoir area.

Deadline for submission is on the first Friday of Term 4. (you have one week holiday break to select and photoshop the pictures for submission)

2010-07-03T02:27:00.002+08:00

Entries for SYPA 2010

2010-04-13T22:47:00.000+08:00

Hi all,
Entries for the SYPA 2010 are coming in. I have been rushed to quickly send the photographs for printing. Here's the update.

1) So far, members who are participating are Xue Li, Jia Ning, Bilson, Yu Zhou, Lynn. (All of you participating already earned 1 participating CCA point by doing so. :-) )

2) Photographs have been sent out for printing. Some have some back.

3) Most of the shops (including Popular) have ran out of mounting boards. I managed to book 20 pieces of the A2 white mounting boards but I can only collect them from Popular Simei on Thursday afternoon.

4) I need the students participating to write some comments on the photographs they are submitting for competition. The comments should be about 2 lines and should tell us where the picture was taken and why was it taken. These comments will be pasted at the back of the mounting boards before submitting on Friday.

5) I also need the 5 students to come down on Thursday afternoon at 3pm to mount their photos onto the mounting boards and to write down and paste the comments onto the back of each board.

6) These mounted photographs together with the entry forms MUST be delivered to SAFRA Mount Faber on Friday afternoon. So I need all your help in making sure point 3, 4 and 5 are done.

Thanks!
Mr Lam

Cancellation of Upper Sec Song Dedication Segment @ Canteen

2010-02-11T11:09:00.000+08:00

Because of this, I have informed the upper sec team to cancel today's song dedication segment. Only the lower sec recess segment will go on.
They are not appreciative so they do not get any...

Ms Nurul & Ms Atiqah will guide the students what to do. It will continue throughout this week & next week and hopefully they can complete by next Friday. The Cancer Society can deliver 5000 more kits once they complete the first 5000."

So members who are keen to help and those who needed CIP hours for this year please do help to support this CIP exercise. Make sure you sign-in and sign-out on those days you are there.

CIP- packing of 5000 FOBT kits in Damai Sec

2010-01-23T23:15:00.001+08:00

Dear members,

Cancer Society will be sending in some items for our school to help them put into kits. Instructions will be given how it has to be done. These kits will arrive on Tuesday (26th Jan) and we will need volunteers to help pack them. CIP hours will be awarded to those who participate in the event. You can also clock this in as one of our attendance events. Volunteers will need to stay back after school on Tuesday and Wednesday to help pack the kits.

I would encourage the Secondary 4/5 students to do this as this help in your CIP hours before you officially step down from your CCA after April. Seccondary 2 and 3 students who are interested may also sign up too.

A name list will be put up on the CCA noticeboard on Monday morning. This name list will be there until 3pm Monday. Interested members will need to sign up by Monday.

Lastly, please do help to spread the news about this CIP hours packing exercise.

Regards
Mr Lam
