Sec 3 Outward Bound School 2018

Dear Sec 2 students (2107),

Greetings. Hope you are enjoying your holidays and resting well this far.

This is with regards to OBS 2018 which will be from 20 February 2018 (Tue) to 24 February 2018 (Sat). This is a cohort camp that is compulsory for all Sec 3 students, unless you are medically exempted from physical activities.

As the camp is in Term 1 next year, the schedule is very tight, it is very important that the compulsory medical screening by a certified doctor be done after 20 Nov 2017 (within 3 mths prior to the start date of the camp) and the fully completed registration form submitted latest by 8 Jan 2018. 

To avoid delays, it will be most ideal if the forms can be submitted by the last week of December or earlier, so that there will more time for me to check and get back to you in cases when the forms are incomplete. 

In particular, please ensure that the following are clearly filled up in the registration form:

a) Doctor's signature,

b) Clinic Stamp,

c) Doctor's indication for Fit or Unfit,

d) Date of Tetanus immunisation (This is indicated in the Health Booklet or found through the immunisation website https://www.nir.hpb.gov.sg/nirp/eservices/login), and 

e) Parent/Guardian's signature. 

Please read and fill up in capital letters the attached OBS Registration Form carefully and completely and email it to me as soon as possible. You may also submit the hard copy to the SST General Office. Please note that you will still need to submit the hard copy to me when school reopens in 2018.

There will be a briefing for all students in the first week of school in 2018. There will also be a briefing for parents/guardians at a later date.

A similar email has been sent to your parent/guardian. Please also see Letter to Parents/Guardians and Frequently Asked Questions and Sample Programme.

Looking forward to your prompt responses.  

Thank You.
