20th October 2012 (Saturday)
Before we focus on the highlights of our Amazing Race, let us show our heartfelt Thanks to Moove Media for sponsoring 300 badges for our Amazing Race. And our beloved Student Council, for their commitment in making this event a success. You guys rock!
Early Saturday morning, our Student Council members gathered at ERCI River Valley ready to kickstart the much-awaited Student Orientation Amazing Race in Orchard Road. At 8:30am, participating students arrived at ERCI RV. Our Student Council members took care of the registration at the reception of ERCI RV. They’ve given out Moove Media Badges for all participating students by dividing them into different groups. In the Amazing Race, there are six stations along Orchard Road where our students are given hints to find the stations. They have to accomplish one challenge at each station. The challenges ranged from games like transformers, passing marbles, to dancing Gangnam Style with passer-bys on the street. Cool, isn’t it? The team that finishes all the challenges at six stations within the shortest time wins the race.
Our first prize winner was Team Naughty They beat the rest of the competing teams with their great teamwork and fast responses. After a morning of walking and running, all the student participants and Student Council are tired. Yet, you can still see the happy and satisfies look on our students’ faces.
With this Amazing Race, students get to interact and bond with one another. They learn about the importance of teamwork and how it helps in achieving a common goal despite of the different background where they originate from. This platform also serves as a catalyst for the students in igniting new friendships among them at ERC Institute.
