Staff Retreat....

i volunteered myself to help in the staff retreat event when my princey (principal) asked some of us who are relatively free to help. Actually i'm very busy but u know, i'm a good teacher now. (upgraded from a good boy)

staff retreat; sounds fun. sentosa would be a fun place, ubin would be a free and easy place, anywhere overseas would have been a fantastic place. (expenses are covered) i thought staff retreat is nothing but having fun after a year of hardwork and stress (i just short of few days). but when i went for the first meeting, they were all talking in french. i couldn't understand anything. strategic planning la, SEM la, etc. i was stunned. haha. my perspective of the word retreat changed......

in the second meeting, i was a bit clearer on what was happening. basically, we need to plan activities for the teachers to understand more about their roles and goals. something like workshop la. haha. then we came up with this idea where ex-students will guide us into game arcades, shopping malls, common students' hanging place, KTV, etc. to explain to us why students love to be there. we might have some hands-on expereinces. haha. i'll be there for games. hehe. this is for us to understand our students more.

No sentosa, no ubin no overseas. but i guess these sessions will give us the opportunity to gain something while relaxing. we will be more confident of ourselves to tackle some of the problems next year. hope everything goes well...... this is the first time i'm in an organizing committee as a teacher. haha...
