Committee Members, please pass to Ms Nurmin or Mr Victor Lam the duty name list for event by this Friday and inform the duty members. Thank you!

Reminder: Use of school keys and AV duties matter

Dear members,

This is a reminder for every student doing AV duties (Morning duties, Hall Assemblies, etc) to do the following:

- Do only draw the keys (AV cabinet, Backstage, Control Room) out from the office no more than half hour before the duty starts.

- To go to the hall for AV duty 30 minutes before assembly starts. (unless you have a test or something very important during that time. Do inform your other duty members about it beforehand.)

- Inform ASAP to Mr Lee Liang Huat for any faulty equipment or additional equipment needed but not present. Alternatively let Mr Lee Kwei Wei or Mr Victor Lam know.

- Make sure all CDs and equipment are placed back to original location after use. (so that the next group on duty knows where to find them)

- Return the keys back to the drawer in the general office after everything is packed up. (DO NOT BRING HOME!!!)

We need all members to help make sure all these are done so that we are supporting one another.

Thanks!
Mr Lam

New photography project for Damai Sec

I will be working on a photography project for the month of July and August. I need to form a group of experienced school photographers (3-4) to help me with this project. These photographers will need to take photos meant for our new school banners, revamp school website and for any slides for teachers and staff to use for presentation. They need to be professionally taken.

The tasks for this group are:
- to take photos of students and teachers in their teaching and learning environment;
- to take photos of students participating in their CCA portraying teamwork, concentration and enthusiasm;
- to select the list of photos for the project;
- to work with Mr Ho in 'beautifying' the chosen photos before archiving them.
(We should be looking at about 35-45 professionally taken photographs)

Any member who feels that he/she is able to do the job well, please approach me and let me know as we need to quickly plan out what needs to be done within these 2 months. Let me know by next Friday (17 July)

Mr Lam
