Cheryl Gan (running for SW HOD)
I am running for EXCO because as mentioned, I really do want to give back to SC and the school. I also want to join EXCO to challenge myself to constantly upgrade in becoming a better leader, or more aptly, “Breakthrough”.
Currently, SW is quite a new department. Hence, I would like to leave some of our new projects, such as our CCA Calendar, alone. However, some new ideas I want to implement include bringing back school-wide Movie Marathons to promote school bonding, and a whole new wave of publicity for each SW sub-department! This will include a Facebook Page for Student Initiatives, an email informing the school about Feedback’s new and improved Email System, and morning announcements by members of CCA sub-department at the start of each CCA’s tournaments, concerts etc.
I can have fun, I can be hyper; but beneath all that enthusiasm, I can safely say I have grown over the past two years. I feel what gives me an edge for EXCO is that I possess good interpersonal skills, have the passion for SC, can manage my school commitments well, can be friendly yet serious, and am ready for the responsibilities that will come my way, if I make it into EXCO. Hence, I hope all of you will give me the chance to let my visions for SC as mentioned in my campaign, come true! Vote for me, and let me show you what I’ve got! Thank you!

Yap Wei Lee - Running for IA HOD
As for qualities, I will skip the part about being responsible etc because I feel that everyone in SC possess those qualities as well. However, I think that what makes me stand out is my ability to relate to people. I think that this is a very useful ‘tool’ in terms of leadership because after all, it is very important to know and understand the people you are working with. One thing I can promise is that I will make an effort to interact with my juniors and not make them feel inferior in the council. I believe that it is possible to regain the ‘ohana’ spirit if every one of us put in effort.
Lastly, I will like to assure everyone that I am committed to SC and will do my best in everything J

Chua Jinyu -Running for IA HOD
This year is special, as Jinyu is running for IA HOD. (remember the chicken?)
I am sure many of you joined SC as it was fun and you also wanted to serve the school. But in order to take care of the school, we need to first take care of ourselves! IA makes SC a fun and memorable experience. IA also ensures that all SC events can get their logistics! So now you know how important IA is.
Other than that, IA must also function as a group to handle SC’s internal affairs. Furthermore, SC is not an individual commitment. SC is about teamwork!
Most importantly, you need someone who is fun-loving, positive and able to handle SC and schoolwork to lead the important IA.
BE SURE TO VOTE HER! J
Rebecca Han - Running for IA HOD
To SC: I’m Rebecca running for IA HOD. Basically my plans for SC revolve not only around family-like bonding, but also that of team spirit. I hope to create a culture where every one of us strives to give our best for SC because we are a team, we don’t want to let our teammates down and also a family-like atmosphere where we can go to each other for emotional support. Some tangible plans of mine would be one-to-one mentoring by seniors and level bonding, because different levels have different common topics. Of course, more SC outings will be organized and I’m definitely open to more ideas on how to bond SC together better.
I really hope to use the skills SC has equipped me with to give back to SC. I sincerely hope to create a closer Council, where in the midst of our professionalism, we laugh and cry together. Council has taught me to care; given me opportunities to serve; now I hope to be able to lead. Vote me for IA HOD and together, we will create a better Council in 2010/2011!

Phua Ying Jia - Running for IA HOD
Yingjia from 3K running for IA HOD.
I joined SC this year. I do take every chance to hone my skills as a leader or even as just a mere human being, to attend workshops or conventions. I am a person who speaks fewer words, who thinks more and is more observant I guess. But, I guess wise words come by rare, right?:) I like encouraging because it comes a long way.
I view IA as a pillar of support for all SCs. For amateurs like me, IA serves as a platform which enables us to adapt into council life as soon as possible. For ‘older’ people, IA is a place where SCs from different levels come together and bond for them to lead the school together, united. Of course it would mean to take charge of blazers and SC room as well.
Propose bonding within departments itself first through frequent outings, camps or updates on what the department has done so that no one would feel left out. Birthday bashes on a monthly basis to make one seem more special on that special day. Perhaps we can have inter-department competitions in sports etc. as well.
Running for EXCO is to serve the school and give back to the council who has given me many opportunities to broaden my experience as a person. Besides, these opportunities do not come cheap. Another is my passion to lead and to serve and of course to care.

Florence Leung - Running for IA HOD
Vote for me as I believe I can bring you soar to greater heights together with the whole of SC! Fun loving, enthusiastic and sometimes you call ‘zi high’; I am passionate about the wellbeing of the every council member as well as our direction as a council as a whole. I have faith in my ability to cope well with my other commitments, and my vision that we as a council can be closely-knitted J I am passionate about serving for the council as well as the school as I strive for improvement by encouragement and inspiration. I hope that I can inspire the SCs just like how my seniors have inspired me to strive for excellence and run for EXCO. Besides my cheerful side, I am committed and dedicated to perform tasks to the best of my ability. Of course, what’s greater than working and planning optimistically and energized? :D
I am running for IA HOD as I feel that I am more familiar and interested in managing the council’s internal affairs. I want to make a difference in every SC’s lives as we motivate and help each other, taking the initiative to interact and bond with our buddies J As an individual amongst a bunch of promising leaders, I believe that all EXCO members should have a concerted effort with a vision to bring the council to greater heights, and have the passion to serve and lead. Vote Florence as IA HOD, I Am Here tO Dedicate! ;)

Regina - Running for SW HOD
Why am I running for Exco? Firstly, my main motivation for joining SC was because of a sense of belonging to Dunman High School cultivated in me by the presence of a strong Dunmanian family spirit and thus, after my first year, I felt like I wanted to give back to the school. Linking it back to the campaign, I believe that being in Exco will entail more responsibilities which allow me to serve the school on a larger platform.
Secondly, being in Student Council has been great for me! However, more than just being a bonded group of enthusiastic people, we are considered an organisation which entails a certain level of professionalism. Being a young Council, we are still trying to balance these two identities. Thus, I would like to play a part in moulding our Council identity and forging a stronger Ohana spirit.
Lastly, I believe that being in the Exco will allow me to grow as a person in terms of leaderships skills. I believe that these will not only enrich my experience in Dunman High and land me in good stead for the working world but also, this growth will help me to serve the school more effectively.
Personally, I feel that I am more inclined to being spontaneous and coming up with ideas that would improve the school and Council experience. I also have the heart and am committed to serve the school and the Student Council so I HOPE YOU WILL VOTE FOR ME! :D

Lovell – Running for SW HOD
Being the first department I joined, SW has made a huge impact on my life in SC. Even though it has changed tremendously, I believe that SW still continues to play a large role in the lives of many.
Firstly, I would propose a mass SW meeting at the start of every school term. During this time, the sub-departments can share with each other their plans for the term and also make us of the chance to bond. With a common goal in mind and a strong sense of cohesion, SW can work its way towards greater heights.
Also, I feel that the department should be more responsive to the students’ needs. I suggest setting up a mini-version of speaker’s corner, where anyone is free to come up to voice their opinion on any matter. Also, students can be offered an online platform to share their views. Hopefully, feedback from the student body can be gathered more easily, allowing the department to work on improving school life for everyone.
Lastly, I feel that all CCAs should be given fair coverage, thus I propose a CCA appreciation week, when students would be given a chance to experience what it is like to be part of another CCA. This would allow students to know more about each other and the different CCAs, thus promoting bonding between CCAs and students.
Mr Tan Tui Gee once told us, 在一个旅行中，有三种人。第一种是让旅行变得更好的人；
Every vote counts so rock your vote and vote for me! Thank you J
Lim Xinyi – Running for CR HOD
The reason why I choose to run for the position of CR HOD is because I have the interest and passion of working with other people. Being able to work with others from different school or even different countries is an interesting and never to be missed opportunity. Dunman high has given me so much up till now and it is my duty and responsibility to give back to the school. Thus I hope to tell the world through working with others just how great Dunman high is. Being able to “brag” about my school is my pride and honor.
So why should you guys vote for me as an Exco member? I believe that all the year 3 SCs who are running for the various positions all have an enormous amount of passion for the council and they are all very eager to serve the school. So I believe that only thing that sets me apart from the rest is my personality. I am the type of person who is very committed to my work. I may not be the fastest or the best, but I am the one who will give my all, give my best. I will not give up, I will try my best.
I hope that all of you will trust me and believe in me. I hope to be given the chance to bring the council up to a higher level. Thank you.
Felicia Goh – Running for CR HOD
HELLOOOOO! :D I’m Felicia from 3M, and I am running for CR HOD.
So, do give me a chance and vote me to be CR HOD! J
VOTE YIHXI FOR VICE PRESIDENT! J
Hi guys, here’s a brief outline:
He Jing Pei – Running for Vice President
Let me briefly introduce about myself. I am a quite optimistic and easy-going person. Sometimes when I encounter problem which is difficult to solve, I will tend to look at it as a learning experience as since it is inevitable, why not we just try to accept and learn from it? I think as an EXCO, there are times we will make mistakes and being optimistic will help us to recover faster. Being an easy-going person can help me to communicate with people from different areas. This can help me and work with my seniors and juniors better if I have the chance to become a VP.
Venus Tan – Running for Vice President
Venus is usually associated with fire and probably anger but I am on the contrary a calm and collected person. I am able to regain my composure quickly. This is one of my leadership qualities because when we meet nerve-wrecking situations which require quick choice-making of important decisions, we must be able to remain calm so that we can think rationally.
Why should you vote for me? Why am I the right choice for this position? I feel that the reason is simple and that is because I really want to serve the council. I have benefited much from the 3 years spent in council, with the council teachers organizing various camps, the school subsidizing for workshops and the invaluable mentoring advices from my seniors. Thus, I feel that I am now equipped with the leadership skills and a more mature mindset to step up to the role of vice-president. I really want to give back to the council what I have learnt from these 3 years and use these to lead her to greater heights. I don’t want all these to go to waste. Thus, I feel that the best platform for me to give back, is to give back my time and that is to join the exco and lead the council. If I am voted as vice-president, I hope to drive the council in making her a more fitting puzzle piece in the student body. I think the key to this is to work together with them.
I aim to reflect "Actions speak louder than words".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jia Song Shan – Running for President
I want to serve. The school has given me many opportunities in terms of building myself as a person of values and characters, the council has also given me the chance to know the world, to open my views and most important of all, to learn what it takes to be a leader. I want to do my best to serve the school and the council in return, even if it is of a very little task, I would be spending the maximum effort, and being part of the EXCO is a very good and useful platform to achieve my goals. To be able to help the council and the school would be very privileged and honoured, and I want to take up this chance to participate actively in the building of the school and the council. Besides serving the school and council, I believe that being an EXCO member will prepare me for greater things in life and equip me with the leadership skills I need for the future, and it will be an experience of a lifetime for which I will not want to forget and will not be able to forget.
