On Tuesday 9th September, in the canteen of UWCSEA East Campus Gabriel Abad, director of boarding, started the TH Assembly.
He talked about the Tampines House problem. According to Gabriel, a lot of people have locked their doors to their rooms for not necessary reasons. “Doors must remain unlocked at all time except when you need some privacy,” he said “that mean unless you are changing or Skyping with your relative and so on.” he added. After that he talked about the boarding trip to Wild Wild Wet on Sunday 14th. “I heard a lot of complain from grade 11 and grade 12 that they have a lot of work and that is why I picked that Sunday.” Then he talked about Reach, the online boarding house management system. “All leave request must be confirmed first before you can leave the boarding house.”
Then Marcel Campbell, one of the house parent and the catering committee, had talked about dinner time. “We’ll be starting a new tradition in 2 weeks time,” she said “and to those who take dinner to your room please come and eat at the canteen.” She said “ If you spend just 10 minutes eating and talking with other people, it would be great, but if you just take your dinner and eat it in your room, you would be a bit stressful because you just do your work and not being sociable.” She also talked about the UWC Day Special Dinner on 22nd of Sept and she would like all of the boarders to go the dinner. After that Gainluca Mancini, a scholar from Italy, had talked about The Boarding Environmental Stewardship Team. “The Boarding Environmental Stewardship Team (BEST) will transform green ideas into action. We will work with our boarding community to improve our home environment and put sustainable practices in place at Tampines House. BEST is lead by boarders for boarders who take responsibility for minimising our impact on the environment with a focus on waste minimisation, energy and water conservation, as well as green spaces.” he said. He also asked if anybody want to join the team and if they want to, contact him.
Finally, Cosme, a grade 11 student at UWCSEA East campus, had made a suggestion to the Boarding House Council about grade 11 study time since the grade 11 study in the library for 2 hours but grade 12 study in their own rooms. On that account, Cosme had asked a grade 12 student to volunteer to reflect on their study time in their room, Sia, a grade 12 student at UWCSEA, come and talked about it but time wasn’t on their side so Cornelius, one of the house parent, end the assembly and tell everyone to go to study time.
