TA Commemoration of Total Defence Day - 11 February

Rationale

As we enjoy the benefits and privilege of being a Singaporean such as living in a country with a high standard of living, good education and infrastructure, to name just a few, let’s not forget our responsibility to the country. To protect, defend and serve the country so that we can continue to enjoy what we have is the fundamental responsibility of a Singapore citizen.

Total Defence Day is instituted so that we are reminded not to take the privileges and benefits for granted, and the various threats and opportunities that Singapore faces and how and where each citizen needs to and can play a part to keep SINGAPORE going.

TA would like to commemorate this day and our duties as citizens to the country by a visit to Singapore Discovery Centre where through 3 learning stations we can be reminded of what is active citizenry.

Operation instructions:

Please inform your parents of your trip to SDC and when you will be expected back. We should return to College by 5.45 or 6pm if everything goes according to plan.
Before the trip, on Monday 9^th Feb, class rep please collect $4/- from each student and give the payment to give to the GO.
Students are dismissed at 12.30pm to have lunch and they will meet at the Arts Hub at 1.30pm to board the 4 buses waiting. TA1 to occupy 2 buses and TA2, the other 2 buses.
Assemble in your class and class reps are to take attendance and give the attendance sheet to their Civics Tutors.
At all times on an outing, students must be aware that you are moving in a large group and they represent the college. Your behaviour in the public must be considerate, circumspect, courteous and co-operative at all time. This applies to volume of speech, interaction amongst themselves, movement from point to point, giving full attention to the talks, explanation and activity at the point of time. There should be awareness that this is a fieldtrip for learning as opposed to a leisure trip and it is a college group and not an individual’s outing. Take note and record what you see and learn, notebook, photo-taking is useful for the reflection blog later.
At the end of the trip, board the bus quietly and quickly, if you wish to be dropped off at some point of the return trip, always seek permission politely from your teacher and keep them informed of your every move. Remember that your teacher is your guardian on the trip.

Follow-up Activity:

As a follow-up on the trip, you are to make a post and put up a photo-journal with at least 1 post about your understanding on citizenship and total defence by 15^th February on the web blogsite:http://temasekacademytotaldefenceday09.blogspot.com/
