Some updates ...

1. Confirmed Training resumes tomorrow 16th May @ Jurong Stadium for all Sec 1s to 3s!!

2. The Sec 4s may not be involved in helping out for 45th anniversary celebration after all - realised it can't count towards CIP so they might as well have more time for the books. CIP must involve the community and JSS isn't quite 'community' - if you get what I mean. In which case, the Sec 4s and nasrul will still be down one of the days for CIP - which we are still wondering how it can be carried out - was thinking about the line of volunteering as helpers for some marathon or similar events... else clean up some parks ?? - Let us know if any of you have any suggestions yea?

3. With regards to point #2, it means those who are not pick for any National T&F events stand a higher chance of taking Sec 4s place - Helping the school - don't suppose any of you have any complaints yea?! =)

4. Ke Hui, Shanice and Hao Rong - submitted your names for SLC, 3 days somewhere mid June. I know it's not the first time going for SLC for some of you but student council is in process of slowly changing how it's carried out at the different level - so no complaints yea?! =)

5. It's get-the-fruit-of-your-labour (if you have studied hard) or face-the-music (if you have not) day tomorrow - hope it's more of the former but since I teach some of you, know a few falls in the latter category. Anyway, all of you have been through it many times, so all the best!

6. Finally, photos from National Cross Country 08 (in random orders). Alas we didn't manage any team photos this year... did the thought ever cross any minds? Weird it didn't occur to me this year at all *haiz* Not all athletes or supporters who went were captured... so keep a look out:









































































That's all!

Still hanging in there?

Almost halfway through MYE08 - How's the papers so far?
Hopes it's a mixture of not-too-bad, average, can pass, good, great, confident! for most of you (Am I deceiving myself? No!)

Drove in this morning just before 0700 and thought I saw a student (in Xcountry shorts + PE top) running! He was just coming round the turn towards school gate. Just when I was wondering if anyone has been self-training... that's a pleasant surprise... so much so I forget to stop and see who's the guy... duhZ

Other than to share the news, this post is mainly to confirm that TRAINING RESUMES 16th MAY 2008 (Friday)!
Same time, venue to be confirmed - most probably going over to Jurong Stadium because post National Xcountry, next big event for the team is National Track & Field. That'll take place around July but registration closes 22nd May - yes, time is tight.

Btw, Sec 4s, training for National Track isn't compulsory for you - we would really prefer all of you to concentrate on preparation for prelims, O and N... with that said, Chia Yuan in through train - to be confirmed by coach.

If you still do not know ... Jurong Sec is celebrating 45th anniversary this year and two big events are coming up early July.. some of you would be involved in one way or another -> 10 students required from Xcountry (& almost every other CCAs) to help out - most probably getting the Sec 4s and 5 (nasrul)... more details later. The rest of you will need to find other means to fulfil CIP hours (again, if you didn't realise, CIP hours to be fulfil via CCA mainly.)

Even if you are not self training in the morning, hopes some of you are doing so admist revision.
