On the 2nd day of Orientation Programme, we started off with “Spot Your Pod”. The freshmen got the chance to see their class and interact with their classmates for the first time. The class is being conducted by our own student leaders as “Acting Facilitators”. They are being taught on how to use “LEO” for the first time and the rules and regulation of the new system in Republic Polytechnic. Ice-breaking games were also conducted to bond the freshmen together before the start of school the following week on Monday.
The next activity which is waiting in line for them would be the SLA Introduction. It is actually time for Cyriva Club and also other IGs in the SEG to promote themselves to the freshmen. Right after that, it was lunch break for all of us. As usual, people would tend to get excited when they heard that food is being served. The team leaders had lunch with the freshmen for a better bonding and at the same time, shared their experience in RP with them.
Following this, the freshmen were taught on the Team Republic Echo. It was a long session as the emcees ensured that they really got the tone and variation right before they proceed on. It was an exhausting yet fun activity for all of us.
Right after that, they were given some rest time but at the same time, they were having the Mass Activity together. This Mass Activity is named as Time capsule where they have to make a paper heart.
Inside the heart, the freshmen have to write down their aspirations and what they want to achieve after three years in Republic Polytechnic.
They were separated into their diplomas with a box to decorate and to put their heart-warming hearts. They were instructed to decorate the box nicely with their diploma names on it. By then, everyone including the committees together with the student leaders and helpers were exhausted.
