MEGA ORIENTATION
22 October 2011
This Mega Orientation was organized by Student Services & Administration (SSA) Division for all new and existing students from the various programs in ERCI. This was also the first time that Student Council (SC) members were roped in to help as Orientation Leaders and it proved to be a huge success!
Given an over-whelming turnout of around 160 students, we have a room fully packed with students and a happy problem – not enough chairs for students! The SSA Division started the planning of this orientation a few months before Oct 2011. They wanted to run this orientation different from past ones. With the recent mass recruitment of SCs, it was decided to get the SCs to be involved in this event for the very first time.
Besides the usual academic and administrative briefing, the students went through a half-day of fun with teambuilding games – both indoor and outdoor. They were first divided into different teams in a random order so that they can get to know new friends from different programs. Then they played two indoor games – Transformer and Musical Chair. Rounds of laughter were heard throughout the games as students were amused by the participants of the games.
Then the highlight was the outdoor team challenge – whereby students in their allocated orientation teams, had to undergo three different challenges namely Cuppie Cups, Balloon Belly and Straw It. These challenges aim to build the espirit-de-corp spirit among the students as well as their patience and creativity.
Finally, team DHL emerged as the champion team which all the students in the team took away with them Golden Village movie vouchers! All students who attended the Mega Orientation not only enjoyed themselves thoroughly and had fun, but most importantly, they took away some learning points of building teamwork, perseverance and determination via the team challenge. Indeed this will be a great start to their new academic term in ERCI!
