Camp U&I 's Union Jacket = Bogus or Real Incentives

2009-01-06T21:50:00.003+08:00

Good News, as promised any campers who signed up for the Re:Vantage card during Camp U&I... you should have received your card through snail mail from People's Association (PA). Because we had sent your sign up forms to PA, 1 week - 2 weeks right after the camp, after we sorted out our data. =D

If you had not received your card, most likely you will get it soon in your mailbox or you might have to re-signup again here:
http://myrp.rp.sg/SLA/RPSC/Lists/0809%20revantage%20Signup/overview.aspx

Bad News, campers, your promised gift, the "Union Jacket" approval is ... under pending I suppose. We had proposed this free gift along with the camp itself, but the Union Jacket's approval seems to take a longer time than expected.

At the mean time, I have something interesting & funny to share,

Management says..

1."We will do it" means "You will do it"

2."You have done a great job" means "More work to be given to you"

3."We are working on it" means "We have not yet started working on the Same"

4."Tomorrow first thing in the morning" means "Its not getting done "At least not tomorrow!"

5."After discussion we will decide-I am very open to views" means "I Have already decided, I will tell you what to do"

6."There was a slight miscommunication" means "We had actually lied"

7."Lets call a meeting and discuss" means "I have no time now, will Talk later"

8."We can always do it" means "We actually cannot do the same on time"

9."We are on the right track but there needs to be a slight extension Of the deadline" means "The project is screwed up, we cannot deliver On time."

10."We had slight differences of opinion" means "We had actually Fought"

11."Make a list of the work that you do and let's see how I can help You?" means "Anyway you have to find a way out no help from me"

12."You should have told me earlier" means "Well even if you told meEarlier that would have made hardly any difference!"

13."We need to find out the real reason" means "Well I will tell you Where your fault is"

14."Well Family is important; your leave is always granted. Just Ensure that the work is not affected," means, "Well you know..."

15."We are a team," means, "I am not the only one to be blamed"

16."That's actually a good question" means "I do not know anything About it"

17."All the Best" means "You are in trouble"

Disclaimer: All the above quote is only for entertainment use and is not RPSU or my opinion. Should any of the above sounds or looks familiar to you or any organization, it is purely coincidence.

Well, it was quite a fun article that I received in my email, I think it was some kind of chain mass mail or something. But I guess you should know what it meant. =)

Why RP might start school at 10 am next academic year?

2009-01-06T20:35:00.005+08:00

YO! Yin Yang YO!
Anyway, this time our poll reached a whooping 72 votes!!! Its 3X more votes than the last poll of only 24 votes! Woohoo!
...
-_-!!! Yeah... 72 votes is nothing compared to our 10000+ student population in RP... sian.

So, here are the collated poll results!!!

Question: Why RP might start school at 10 am next academic year?
A compulsory PE class each week for all guys in the early morning - 34 votes
Give RP students more time to rest well - 7 votes
Beneficial for students living far away from Woodlands - 23 votes
Facilitators themselves can't reach school punctually - 8 votes

Winner is "A compulsory PE class each week for all guys in the early morning".

Edited: Even though the winner is our poll's first choice, but it might not necessary be the case cause RP might have other arrangements for everyone in the coming academic year. Perhaps it might be year 1s come to class in the morning and year 2s & 3s start school later at 10? Then there will be more time and resources for me to play sports without any evil seniors occupying the court in the evening! YAY! Nah... just a guess... =)

---

Here are some fabulous comments from the general student population, (which is YOU! Yea YOU!)

passerby: can we not have pe in the morning, so tiring. Later we come in class hot and sweaty. it is going to be uncomfortable for us. just my opinion ;D peace

chris: IF pe is really implemented, there will be a shower time after the lesson before your school time.

luiteng: lets say PE is implemented for the whole school in the morning,so are there going to be enough time and shower rooms for us to shower?

chris: should pe be implemented, it will be only for guys. each class will have 1 pe lesson / week. it can be monday or anyother days. So PE lessons will be by class or randomly asorted groups.

chris: shower will be at sports complex. well... watever i said below is just a guess. rp might have other things in mind. =D

luiteng: even if for guys but given the limited no. of shower rooms,i dont tink will be enough for guys rite?..well lets wait for more news for now...

Ishardi: What? School starts 10 am starting next year? I don't believe it! If so, then what time does the lesson ends? Does anyone knows?

yousof: hi Ish, that is just a thought that is not confirmed , year 3 will start at 10am, the guys will come at 830 for napfa training, the class still ends at 430 with shorter breaks

yousof: year1&2 will not be affected though. Then again, this was said to be unconfirmed, u'll get notified in email if anything ;)

I suppose many of the year 3s now know that they have to do some kind of Napfa preparation course in the coming academic year after seeing the news...

Republic Polytechnic's deputy director for office of student and graduate affairs, Mr Wilson Ang, said that to better prepare students for NS, its male Singaporean students will undergo a 26-hour preparatory course.

It would start six to eight months before they take their Napfa tests, he said.

The students will go through physical conditioning to build up muscles, and train for the different stations which they will go through during their Napfa tests.

Mr Ang said: 'We are shifting from the voluntary basis to a more directed approach, where students are arranged by cohort and diploma, and if only a few students from a particular class turn up, the school directors will be informed. But it is still not compulsory for students to attend.'

2008-11-25T10:08:00.008+08:00

Crisis ALERT! The nominees for Mr & Miss SOH are gonna rock your world!

School of Hospitality (SOH) is the only school left without any representative to the annual Mr & Miss RP pageant competition. You might ask why the only school left? I have no idea what happened to the representing club and why they didn't organize it...

So Student Council, the organizer for Mr & Miss RP is now stepping in to make it right. :P A very quick Mr & Miss SOH audition this Thursday will decide who will represent School of Hospitality in the final contest Mr & Miss RP.

Beware... current contestants for Mr & Miss RP... Beware...

Should RP Student Council help promote PBL 2?

2008-11-20T18:26:00.005+08:00

Here are the collated poll results!!!

Question: Should RP Student Council help promote PBL?
Yes, good to have year 1s adapting PBL - 2 votes
Yes, collaborate X-Synthesis Club - 13 votes
Yes, so RPSC can build good relations with Higher Management - 3 votes
No, stick to welfare initiatives - 6 votes

Result:
Yes = 18 votes
No = 6 votes

Winner is YES!!!

Here are some fabulous comments from the general student population, (which is YOU! Yea YOU!)

@men: mi thgths are... bring in Student Ambassador and allow them more position in spreading the message across national level about RP's PBL. so student wont have cultural shock when they come in.

=): but if we were to include lectures in our everyday-learning, won't it be the same as the other polys already? in this way, we won't be making a difference already.

late: also, just becoz rp is PBL, rp doesnt provide language modules which other polys are having.

late: yeah. rp is learning with a difference. but total learning with PBL is not encouraged. i feel that a combination with lecture would be better as we could have better understanding on the topic itself.

...: Can't we just lecture style but have to do presentation to show our understanding?

rEk: that''s what Learning with a Difference is all about, that's what the 5th newest Polytechnic has got to offer, so PBL still rocks! Believe in your own school.

al: rp shld just stick to mainstream learninq system with tutorials& lectures instead of th mundane PBL

So... is RP Student Council going to collaborate with X-Synthesis Club to promote PBL to new year 1 students? Well, just stay tuned to our upcoming activities and you see the answer! ;P

Pre Mr & Miss RP 2008 Sneak Preview

2008-11-19T00:56:00.004+08:00

Dear RPSU blog,

Mr & Miss RP 2008 will be coming soon, very soon. But there are still so many things left to do, ARH!!! The whole to-do list seems to add on more and more. It makes me and the whole team feel like a Santa Claus with a freaking long naughty and nice list.

For now 2 items are off the list, Photo shoot 1 and 2. The outcome? Well... you should know.

Pre Mr and Miss RP 2008

So bloggy, for now that's all the photos I had. But there are a lot more, like 100X more photos unrevealed. And they are pretty good ones that will make even you go WOW!

Oh BTW! Me and Christina took some pictures showing our idiotic funny faces. You think so too? Well... since we are part of the organizing team, I thought we should have some fun too!

That's all for now! I will write to you soon.

Signing off,
Chris Ou

P.S: Me and Christina will be organizing a very short and sweet Mr & Miss SOH soon since no one in Young Aspirers Club is willing to commit the time. (most probably an online pageant) ;P

FAQ

2008-11-11T23:46:00.006+08:00

Have you ever wonder what is Student Union & why should you care about it? Well... I'm sure all the junk below will spike the interest in you somehow.

What is Republic Polytechnic Students' Union?

Republic Polytechnic Students' Union is a student organization that is responsible for providing a variety of student welfare services to all RP students.

What are the fees like to be a member of RP Student Union?

If you regularly pay your school fees (supplementary fees included), then you had already paid for your RP Student Union's membership fee.

A certain percentage of the Supplementary Fees that you pay annually is used to pay for your RP Student Union's membership fee.

So if you are an RP Student now, technically you are a member of RP Student Union by default.

Reference:
Course Fees
JAE FAQ

Who take cares of RP Student Union's daily operations?

Republic Polytechnic Student Council is the governing body that handles day to day operations of RP Student Union.

RP Student Council Blog - http://myrp.rp.sg/SLA/RPSC/blog/

I have a school-related problem (eg, school environment, transportation, student welfare, club welfare etc) and I do not know who to seek help?

You may wish to contact our Welfare Officers - Moshi, Wen Hao or Vanan
Email: moshi.ong@myrp.edu.sg, tan.wen.hao@myrp.edu.sg, sara.vanan@myrp.edu.sg

or simply

Drop us a survey @
Student Suggestion Scheme
Club Welfare Suggestion Scheme

P.S: Since you had already paid the membership fees, why not make use of our services?

Are there laws implement on RP Students' Union?

Yes. The laws implement on RP Students' Union are written on REPUBLIC POLYTECHNIC ACT.

Reference:
http://www.rp.sg/about/corp_profile/rp_act.asp
http://www.rp.sg/about/corp_profile/rp_act_schedule.asp
Parliament of Singapore - Republic Polytechnic Bill
Singapore Statues Online - REPUBLIC POLYTECHNIC ACT

Should RP Student Council help promote Problem - Based Learning?

2008-11-07T23:33:00.005+08:00

Well... yup! See the title.

A RP higher management staff asked me a very simple question while we were chatting away.

The situation is this, as we all know most new incoming year 1 students will likely have problems adapting to RP's PBL system from their usual lecture-based secondary schools.
Result: C grades everyday, Labeled "happy-go-lucky slacker", I-noe-but-dont-share selfish dude, "I hate RP" written all over the face.

Since RP student council is the highest power student body & representation in the student union, shouldn't RP student council help the school to blend the new incoming year 1 students into RP PBL system easily & improve their PBL mentality?

Some quick information,
RP Student Council - welfare initiatives for all RP students.
CED X-Synthesis Club - promotes PBL pedagogy.

So... What Do You Think?

Let us know your opinions through our newly created poll on the sidebar, and feel free to drop a comment on this blog entry or tag board.

You thought in the first place that the mass dance tutorial was for our Camp U&I campers, you? LOL! Nah... they were for our group of team leaders and organizing committee, cause they were in the same situation as our campers. They/We were infected with Dance Step Disorder (DSD).

If you have yet seen the videos, there you go:

CampU&I

2008-10-10T04:05:00.006+08:00

A long long time ago,

65 men and women of sat together on one fine day. Amongst the gossips and updates around the school, they decided that Republic Poly needs a platform to gather everybody together. So they concluded to a camp with ALL the fun elements you can think of!

Title: CampU&I
Origin: Hokkien slang. Read: KAMPUI.
Definition: For what?!?!?! Or simple, whatever for?
Saying: "Want to go Kampui (CampU&I)?"

And hopefully this will become a well known lingo...

It is rumoured to have free lodging, lots of fun, a themed dinner and even free CE points. But not a single soul knows how to get to this camp.

*Stay tuned!

"Sub-com"

2008-10-09T15:21:00.001+08:00

What is friends of Council about?
“Sub-com” of Student Council

Why is there “” on sub-com?
It is because our “Sub-com” do not refer to supporting committee that aid in planning and running event.
Rather these people are a pool of friends that have participated in Council event and would like to continue to support Council through different means, e.g.:
· Planning Events
· Executing Events
· Participating in Events
· Providing Ideas

Benefits:
· You are the first to know for any launch of events and release of Welfare Initiatives (e.g. giving out of Union Jacket).

What we want from you?
· Just read our mails and visit our blogs!

How can you join?
· Participate in any Student Council Event, then sign-up with us after the event end.

Introduction

2008-10-09T14:30:00.004+08:00

Now you may ask, what exactly is student council?

Republic Polytechnic Student Council has a short history, for more information please proceed to our official website! Site link is located on your right panel...

If you're thinking we're just like the prefects back in your secondary school, you're wrong. We're actually just as mischievous as you are, breaking the rules occasionally (oops!) but we know what we can do and what we aren't supposed to do.

In lay man terms:

We're just like your nanny/mother/guardian.

In pictorial terms:

Anyway our main aim is to support all Club Management Committee (MC) and Interest Groups (IG), taking care of the welfare of our beloved students.

Or you can think of us as a bridge...

Well here's a Math question for you.

If SPSC = SPSU,
Singapore Poly Student Council = Singapore Poly Student Union

Then RPSC = RPSU?

Hell NOOOOO!!!

Why?

RPSC follows the ang-moh way.

So,

RP Student Union = Student Body (all RP Student)
RP Student Council = Executive Committee of the Student Union

So why do we follow the ang-moh way?

That's for you to PBL and find out.
