As this is a team event, similar to the zonal, the whole team will need to be present for the match.

Each team is also required to provide 1 empire and 2 line judges.

Please call/text me as soon as possible if you have any question.

*Dinesh, i am still waiting for your call.

Post-Principal Challenge 2015 update

The Principal's Challenge is a SCHOOL EVENT (CCA points!) that is held usually at the end of term 4 and the graduating classes are exempted because their last day of school usually falls on the Friday before the start of end of year examination.

In case you are not aware, it is also a charity event where Yuhua CC will donate a packet of rice to the needy for every student who managed to beat the principal's timing.

But for this year, it was held at the end of term 2 and the whole school was able to participate which is good because that means, CCA points for all who have participated!

During the Principal's Challenge, I see our badminton players gathering to catch up with each other and also to supporting and cheer for each other before, during and even after the challenge. (Shuqun Badminton FTW!)

Also, I'm very glad to see that the graduating members still keeping in touch with current team members.

This is the kind of culture the badminton teachers would like to see.

What it really meant to be in a TEAM.

And not so much as an individual.

Okay, next up are the photos...

I am trying to get the photos that were taken by Media Club and will try again when school reopens.

So, here are the photos that were taken with my phone during the Principal Challenge.

Its kind of funny, when i scroll through the pictures in my phone, and because the pictures were taken in sequence, the pictures almost seems animated. So, why not i try making it move?

And not forgetting the photo with all the trophies and those who have stayed back.

Congratulations to all the winners of the race and also for those who have tried their best for the race!

PS: Correct me if i am wrong, Shuqun Badminton do have a boys team, no?

Update for Wee Kim Wee Challenge 2015

For this year's Wee Kim Wee Challenge,

We manage to register the boys team with the list of name that was submitted to me during the CCA Meeting but the girls team was not registered because the submission was after the deadline and the maximum number of girls teams was reached.

The team manager's meeting for the challenge has been postponed to this Friday.

Therefore, the next update will most likely to be up next Monday.

*Dinesh, will need your help to confirm the players.

(For example, will Kevin be replacing Bradley?)

Please contact me once you are ready with the confirmed player list.

In the meantime, remember to keep yourself fit by doing your sets daily.

CCA Meeting to replace training for last day of school.

CCA Meeting will be held on the last day of school instead of training because the MPH needs to be prepared for the O'Level Mother Tongue papers.

3. AOB

All Sec 1, 2 and 3 players, are to report to Classroom 4B AVA ROOM for the meeting.
