Hi All,
The debarment result is out. A total 6 yr 1 students are debarred from exam. None of them from our class. Pls pass the message around to make sure everyone turn up for exam.
I hope you do some reflections and think about what happens if 1 of the 6 students was you. You cant be so lucky all the time..in nutshell, better buck up your attendance or this could happen to you.
Study well since you are given the chance to sit for exam.

Karma - In Another Perspective
Hi KGs,
I am surprised some of you arent sure of your GPA when asked, I am posting the results of your cumulative GPAs so that you know exactly where you stand in your academic performance. I will also be posting your subsequent CAs results here in future.
PPE is an application from poly issued specifically to ITE students in their Yr 2 whose GPA meet a certain requirement. This year, the cut-off is 3.0 (figure changes every yr). Students in their Yr 2 apply using their 3rd sem cumulative GPA. However, if their result in Sem 4 pulls their overall GPA down subsequently, they may be removed from the poly of their dream again.
In other words, by the time you reach your sem 3, whether you can get into poly is determined.
This year, some classes have half the class qualified to apply while some have only a small handful of 3-6. Why the vast difference? Let's analyze those classes that have half qualified to apply. Each of the successful applicants is different in terms of their learning ability, family background, financial status, individual problems but they all have something in common, that is, good attitude and hardwork. They are able to put aside their other distractions and stay committed in their studies. They get to reap the fruits of their labor. Like Karma, treat others with kindness and you will be rewarded in a way or another..Put in good attitude and hardwork in your studies, you WILL get into the poly of your dreams..
If you are not satisfied with your GPA or your current life status, you CAN make a change - on 1 condition...you have to start NOW.
In case, you are wondering, I taught those classes myself before.

Bone Marrow Donor Program Talk - 28 Feb 07
To: All Non-Chinese
In collaboration with the Bone Marrow Donor Programme (BMDP), our school is embarking on a community service project, together with some students from SMU to help BMDP recruit potential donors from minority groups (Malays and Indians) and to raise awareness about the work of BMDP. This will increase the chances of finding a compatible donor for patients from minority groups who are in need of a bone marrow transplant.
Due to a lack of donors from minority ethnic groups in the local Bone Marrow Donor Registry, our focus is to help BMDP increase their donors’ pool in this area. BMDP has only 400,000 donors in Singapore with Malays and Indians each contributing to about 4% of the total figure. One common illness that requires a bone marrow transplant is Leukemia. The chance of finding a matching bone marrow within the same ethnic group is 1 out of 20,000, whereas it is an almost 0% chance of finding a match from a different ethnic group.
We aim to spread this awareness with a series of Donor Awareness and Recruitment Drive on 28 Feb 2007. Attendance will be taken. Booths will be setup at the road shows with stations mended by nurses to retrieve blood samples from potential donors on the same day. It is a prick on the finger requiring minimal blood.
Venue: AVA Projection Room
Time: 1 to 1.45pm (pls be punctual)
