RE: Sec 1 Student Leader Selection CampThe camp was on 29 May - 30 May.On the 1st day, we were told to bond with our respective sec 1 group members. Sadly, our group seemed to be too quiet. But luckily, on the second day (today), they were pro-active and quite committed, especially Jack. It was indeed a very exhausting day as we went for a 7 hours hike at Bukit Timah nature reserve. Our group was the first one to set off! As a facilitator, I can see that the students had some teamwork spirit when they were searching for the way for the checkpoints, as well as, finding the clues.After we came to the end of the Zhenghua Park, we went into a forest (Bukit Timah Nature Reserve). We could not make too much noise from that point onwards due to some specific reasons. Everyone have to shout "bike" each a bike approaches towards us. We have to keep our left to give way for the cyclist. It was very fun but we got lost eventually. Miss Jess told the sec 1 leaders to sacrifice their food if they wanted her to bring them to the correct route. And so, the group gave her "Nutella". The roads were extremely wobbly and was not that easy to balance yourself. They were down slopes with many stones and branches on the UNEVEN floor. It was so dangerous and you could not even just rush down like that. We also saw big and colourful spiders which may be poisonous. It was a little bit terrifying.. Imagine the big spider just jump on you... how would you feel? It was about to rain when we suddenly realised that the sky turned threatening. The forest was so chilling and dark. But in the end, it only rained about 15 minutes and then it stopped. It was not very heavy. After we had our lunch, we walked back to school from bukit panjang nature reserve. It was far! but healthy for us (exercise). Throughout the whole hike, we had walked about 13 km in total. My legs are now "hibernating". This camp is overall fun.
