RE: room-cleaning duty.

searching for volunteers, sign up list on the board
1st june 2007
not applicable to sec 4s because of extra lessons
9.00am
please bring neccessary things (check with council welfare and devt comm people)
we hope you will, as true servant leaders, comply.

it is a collective decision by the council welfare and development committee, with the full backing of partnerships and the garang monster (laura) herself, that it should not, i reiterate, NOT fall to the council welfare committee solely to clean up the room for the following reasons:

1) room cleaning is a very trivial pedantic matter if you get to the root of it. the CW&D committee cannot be doing this perpetually if it is to develop the council.

2) they scarcely use the room even. yes you may argue that it's their job 'cause they're CW&D-ers but at the very heart of it, doesn't that mean you can be irresponsible just because the council welfare team will clean up your mess afterwards? the things you people leave are. amazing. we found somebody's sodden PE attire from orientation once when cleaning for invest. quite gross eh.

3) the room is not the council welfare committee's responsibility. if it were, you'd all be banned from entering anyway. the room is every single councillors' fiduciary responsibility (read: your right, therefore, you are entitled to look after it yourself) so why should cleaning up fall to the CW&D comm? to be frank i think we all need to realise that we're always, always responsible for our acions - your irresponsible flinging of dirty and clean PE attire/books/towels/sandal(s)/shoes/cardboard etc. etc. etc. etc. will affect somebody else negatively. i know many of you are thinking, but this is the CW&D's job, why should we do it? i think we need to move beyond our comfort zones and take full responsibility for our actions.

ok? i hope you guys get my drift - basically we want you to move beyond your current states and take full responsibility, because as leaders, you're constantly in the limelight. yes you may say you'r ein the limelight so often but you're human too - but if being human and exercising your right to be a slob means that you make somebody else's life harder, then that's not what we're about right?

Hellooo councillors!

Alright i have a new update!

There's a duty next saturday, 19th May. And i need 20 councillors to come down! (for those who are already involved in the presentation, don't sign up for duty) It's the syf presentation for the parents and it's from 6pm to 9pm. It might drag on so yeahh, just take note! Oh, full council uniform btw.

We (mrs nicks & i) highly encourage the sec2s & 4s to come down for this duty. Dear sec 4s, this will be our last duty before we step down. And sec 2s, i think you guys haven't really been active so this is your last chance to be exposed to duties before the official IJ opening in july. That's a major school event involving only the sec2s and 3s. So that means all um, 44 councillors must be sure of what they're doing.

Sec3s, i'm pretty confident in you guys and i'm sure the next SP head will guide the council through such future school events, but if you sign up i won't object! Afterall, it works on a first-come-first-serve basis. So yep, look out for that duty list on monday morning!

Michelle :)


for those who sign up, there'll be a briefing for ya'll after school on the 18th. More details on the council board!
