Feedback and new rules for CCA (READ):
You guys have been doing a good job in cca, keep up the good work. However, always bear in mind some rules that you have to abide to during cca.
1. Showing respect to teachers & seniors
As we have spoken to you all last session, there is a lack of respect from our fellow guides towards our teachers and seniors. Hence, we would like to implement a few rules in which all of you have to follow, to show respect to your guides and guiders.
a) Greeting the teachers whenever you see them
b) Address each exco with basic respect. DO NOT call us by our names. When talking to us, address us with "ma'am". (This is a sign of courteousy, not because we like you all to call us "ma'am" but because this the right way to address your leaders and also what is expected in any guiding event. Calling us "OEI" or "AYY" or "HELLO" is disrespectful and we will not entertain any requests.)
c) ASK for permission whenever you want to go somewhere or whenever you want to tell us something. (For example: Permission to go to the washroom ma'am, Permission to have __ minutes waterbreak ma'am.)
2. Following instructions
a) When teachers, excos, PLs or PSs give instructions or punishments or orders, do not bargain or talk back to seniors. Follow what we say strictly. We mean it. If you have any comments or misunderstandings, do not question us or argue, but come to us for feedback at the end of every meeting.
b) Do your punishments seriously. It is not a laughing matter. Punishments are not given as we hate you all, and not to demoralise or put you down but to train you all so that you all wouldn't repeat the same mistakes again and again. Laughing just shows that you are not serious about your punishments.
c) When we say something, we are not joking. We will accept no compromising.
***Putting your bags in guides room is one. We are not going to plead you and convince you that you have to put your bags in the guides room because from now on, it is compulsory. Whoever does not put their bags in guides room will have to endure punishment. (This is so as to not cause misunderstandings because though some of you vocally say that you will bear full responsibility if anything goes missing, the teachers and excos still have to be responsible and be blamed.)
3. Having a positive mindset.
It is good to hear from most of the sec ones that you enjoy cca and we hope that all of you will continue to be optimistic and endure even during the tough trainings.
See you on Friday!
