3 violation punishments

Greetings everyone, i assumed that majority of you guys know about the new punishment already?  For those who did not come for the council meeting, heres the gist of it.  Here is the list of the main reasons that will result in getting one violation.

• Not signing in and signing out for duty
• Not doing duties regularly
• Borrowing or lending of badge and tie
• Not bringing tie or badge without a valid reason ( have to tell any of the council teachers or Ren Yi before flag raising starts)  If tie is stained or spoiled, will have to see the tie’s condition as councillors will have to show them their ties or a photo of the stained tie. Lost of badge or tie will have only a maximum of 2 days allowance to get hold of a new tie or badge
• Getting Detention
• Complains from teachers like defiance towards teachers ( will get the full story before adding a violation to the councillor’s name upon getting a complain from any teacher)
• Failure to comply with the school rules (eg. Using hand phones at the classroom block without a valid reason or permission from teacher) [includes rude behaviour even during council meeting] Councillors will go through attire check when they sign in for duty by Ren Yi, Alicia or Nicole.
• Late upon reporting for duty
• Not coming for council meeting without a valid reason

Please note that after 3 violations, we will come and find you and you will have to do some student service, and right after the student service, if you hit another 2 violations, you will be getting the contract.  Any of the above violation that you make will result in 1 violation, you may not even know when we mark you down for violation.  This new punishment will start from today onwards.  The violations (chances) will be "renewed" new year when the school term starts again.  All these punishments apply to the Excos also.  Please also note that any of the council teachers or I has the right to add on to the violations for example because you are very rude during council meeting and it is really over board.  Though we have implemented this new punishment, I still hope that neither the council teachers or I needs to give anyone the student service as punishment or the contract.

Student Leaders Seminar

During the march holiday,
a selected batch of student councillors went to Republic polytechnic
to attend a STUDENT LEADERS SEMINAR
which was organised by {Youth Leader Of Singapore}.
We were very honoured to have a Question and answer session where our enquires would be answered by the minister himself after his talk.
There were a few important points which the minister highlighted.

Firstly, a good leader is a leader with a vision and the ability to achieve his or her plan.
The leader must be able to convince his passion to his followers and make sacrifices to achieve his goal.
The leader must be competent and knowledgeable in the domain he is in.
Personally I feel that even how knowledgeable or competent a leader is, he would still achieve nothing but failure if he is arrogant, complacent as well as not being vigilent.

Secondly, a leader must build team work and assemble the team with different strong areas. Without any followers you cannot be a leader.
The leader would also need to make decisions and be responsible for the outcome.
Leaders must be compassionate and be mindful of the benefit of the interest of the group.
They would also need to be paying more attention to the weaker members of the group and make sure they do not fall behind.

Thirdly, as a good leader, you must have a successor to take over.
You must identify whether or not the successor shares the same passion as you.
As the overall leaeder in charge ,you must tell the successor what the group wants and make sure he has the ability to do it.

The last point is a good leader has to operate in a multi culture environment and get to know about other foreign students.

Lastly I would like to thank the teachers who has organised this trip on behalf of the student council who has participated in this event as we have benefited greatly from it.

A good leader has to be a leader wih vision . You must be convinced that this is the vision you want.
The Five good points .
1) Have a clear vision.
2)Passion must be in your heart
3)You must be competent
4)Compassionate
5)Must be flexible and must be adaptable.

What do they mean by flexible and adaptable ?
It simply means that we must be willing to change course when environment has changed.
Change : Ability to change to the ultimate.

Whether its better for you to step down, to let better leader to take over you to make the group more interested , or you let the leader pursue your passion .

Being a leader, you sometimes can also make unpopular decisions whereby no one supports this particular idea at all. But only by persuading and giving your followers the trust then they will follow this decision that you have made even if they do not agree with you, because the trust is there, they will still follow. Hence, being a good leader, persuading your fellow followers and giving them your trust so that they can in return give you their trust then good decisions can be made even if the decisions are unpopular.

Points to think about :
- What you can do.
- Dont be afraid to try .
- Must be able to convince your team memebers , make them have confidence and trust in you.


"If you dont have team member , you cannot be a leader. A leader must have followers.
eventually, you must make the decision and must take the reponsibility."

" Risk of failure should not be the reason of not doing it . "
