Freshmen Orientation Program 2010 (Day 3)
The third day started off with students moving into their classes looking forward to know their new classmates through some fun ice-breaking activities, together with some important information on RP’s learning system.

Shortly after the class introduction, the freshmen gathered back at Agora Hall, excited about their new classes and doing their final preparation before their BIG event at 6pm (Jam N’ Hop)

Everyone worked hard on learning the mass dance and crying out loud for the Republic Echo!

Doing their final preparation for the School presentation
Oh s-e-g! Oh s-e-g! Oh s-e-g Oh s-e-g!!~

Soon it’s time for everyone to move to the Lawn and Let’s Get The Party Started!
The program started with School presenting their own School Presentation! SEG presented our skit of originality on why Engineers are important and eventually Hype-up everyone with a hippy cheers and beats with just piles and stick!

Oh S-E-G! Oh S-E-G! Oh S-E-G Oh S-E-G!!!

After all the Presentations, it is finally time to showcase our mass dance! With the famous song “For your Entertainment!” and our Proud Republic Echo! REPUBLIC, REPUBLIC WE ARE ONE AND PROUD!
Freshmen Orientation Program 2010 (Day 2)
Day 2 started with the mass dance, followed by tug-of-war competition at the Astroturf for both staffs and students among the different schools! It was one of the rare moments where you see your facilitators dressed casually, sweated their way out and pulled with all their might to win every possible match. Even the Director of SEG was actively involved! Yeah!


Although SEG didn’t manage to clinch the top few positions for tug-of-war, the efforts and support given by both staffs and students were greatly appreciated. After all, SEG has displayed cooperation and teamwork. Hooray!

Freshmen Orientation Day Camp 2010 (Day 1)

The main objective of the camp was to let the freshmen know their school mates before school starts. The event started out with ice breaking games to let the participants feel more welcomed.


The next program we had planned for these enthusiastic freshmen were the station games! The main objective was to allow them to mingle with their groups and to know everyone well enough.
Despite the bad weather, we all had a lot of fun playing the games.






Last but not least, both the student leaders and the freshmen had a enjoyable day which resulted in a picture like this!
