Student Retreat 2008 Day 2

Student Retreat 2008 Day 2
15 May 08
The Arts House


Second day of the Retreat was an "Solid-planning day"! But of course, it was not entirely dry...


Some quick IQ test to wake up the brains!



An 2 hour session of (Strength - Weakness - Opportunities - Threats) SWOT Analysis, Mission and Vision; Goals and Objectives planning. It was really not easy, but we knew that it was essential!


Everyone started sitting on the floor and brainstorm the characteristics of their own group during SWOT Analysis...


Some groups managed to grab the sofa set...


... While some even got a table...


... and Symphony Orhcestra decided to analyse and plan with their manager, Siew Ling!


Chinese Orchestra presented their SWOT Analysis. Many of the other groups were nodding away as there are some weaknesses that every group shares.

Then, after a serious brainstorming session, let's have L-U-N-C-H!

All the girls seemed to be enjoying each other's company and the salad!


All of them were sitting with our staff.
Can you tell who was the staff present at this table?


It seemed like all were enjoying the conversation... :)

After the hearty lunch, we had a forum with the CFA management...

Of course the groups grabbed this golden opportunity to ask many questions. Some were rather interesting and beneficial to all. Questions ranged from financial assistance in overseas trips to exploring modular credits for being a CFA member.


Next, we had another important session - "How to manage your events?" - with help from Daniel (far back, man in grey shirt) from Production Services and Karen from Programmes (Left, standing, leaning by the wall)


... and another session of TEA!

Although no photos were taken, we then had a session of NAF09 brainstorming. Many groups came up with very unique and interesting ideas of collaboration. Watch out for our NUS Arts Festival 2009!
