WHAT'S UP LIFESAVERS!

Hope all of you guys have enjoyed your first week or so of holidays, going out and spending like mad on food and clothes.

But for a bulk of us, we spent the first week in BONDING CAMP 2011 (say in deep low voice like those movie trailers). For those who were there really hope you had an awesome time bonding and getting to know one another. BUT for those who were unable to make it, the highlights of the camp were the.............

Awesome Games!

The Awesome Food

The Retarded Things we did!

The Hiking

THE TOOTHPASTE!

And the most Important of all

THE BONDING!

All in all, we ate awesome food, did retarded things, played awesome games, conquered Bukit Timah Hill, spammed photos till we had too many to upload and got backaches and sores from sleeping on the classroom floor. But most importantly we bonded; we learnt each other's names (I can remember most now!)and we talked and joked till it was sooooo late we almost couldn't stay awake the next day.

So final words:
for those who were with us, bonding camp is just the beginning of great friendships ;)
For those who weren't, don't worry because bonding is a journey that starts whenever you are ready! So jump in whenever!

Nationals 2011 : 21st August 2011

2011-09-05T04:00:00.003+08:00

So this is the day

To represent our school,

To show what we have worked for for the past months.

Trainings the last few months may be hard

and tiring :(

especially when we have to manage our studies well at the same time!

Like EEW??

And so we didn't gain any medals

But we did persevere through obstacles

Learned to work together

AND finished what we started

Though some of us are camera-shy (and some maybe not~)

We all did have fun didn't we? :)

Finally and most importantly,

we gained Friendship. :)

May this experience be an enriching one for all

and may our ties last on :)

NP Team 2011

So calling out to all members of NPLGC!

We hope to share all of this with YOU next year ! :)

About School Pool Reopening

2011-06-26T02:49:00.001+08:00

Hi all awesome club members,

This post is to inform you about the update of the school pool. Sorry for the lack of it in the past few months.

The latest info we receive from the school is that the pool will open on/after 4th July as the full renovation works are not completed as yet.

Thus we will still be sticking with training at Clementi Swimming Complex on the usual training days when school starts again. (See bulletin on the right column)

Meanwhile we will still be aiming to have us completing the LS123 course and CPR/BM course, whichever relevant, by the end of this semester (i.e. end of August). Hence we sincerely hope that you will continue coming down for trainings so that we can work towards it together.

We apologise for all the inconvenience in the past year, and be assured that we appreciate your presence with us all this time :)

Let's keep our fingers crossed that we can use the pool next week!

Yous VERY Sincerely,
Committee '11/12

Were you at FOC?!

2011-05-15T23:28:00.000+08:00

Hello People!

Were you at NPLGC FOC 2011?!

Well We were! But if you were not there, here is what happened.

It was AWESOME!

On the First day as all of us gathered at the side of the Alumni Pool the mood was sombre...............

Like this

Everyone was shy. But thanks to our Super Duper AWESOME Freshies (WOOHOO!) and our equally awesome Group leaders!

It was soon..........

.............

.......

...

Everyone started to talk and joke, and got to know one another's names (but maybe not remember them). The committee breathed a sigh of relief! And we haven't even gone through the first games yet!

<------------------------(Like that)

Next.............

We got Wet as we splashed around in the pool playing Capture the flag, Captain's ball and a friendly relay. Lifeguards to be Swam, Ran (Yes it is possible) and splashed their way into the evening. Everyone really got bonded even though some of us had only met hours before.

All in all the first day of the camp was energy-PACKED but still exhausting! And the Freshies STILL had ENERGY! (WHAT IN THE WORLD?!) As they prepared to head of to their rooms.

Dum

....

Dee

......

Dum

....

Dee

.....

DUMMMMMMMMMMMM

DAY 2

Day 2 started of a bit wet..... and loud with Thunder and Lighting effectively cancelling any outdoor activities. The Freshies (Still some how high from the day before.) slowly started to lose their High mood, as we changed to our Wet Weather games.

It was so Boring

........

Someone fell asleep next to the Dummy.

(Tsk Tsk)

[Cricket sound]

It seemed all was LOST! (Ok not really.......). But the Clouds soon cleared. And the bright (and very HOT) Sun soon came out! And we started our Outdoor activities such as Protect the King and Beach Flag. The Camp soon regained its Super-ON attitude!

SOON AFTER.........

The Campers took a well-deserved break, seeking shade from the Incredibly Hot Singaporean Sun as we had Lunch.

......

....

...

The campers were then briefed about Lifesaving CCA in NP. Also we did Goal Setting for the Year. We pasted our goals for the year for ourselves and pasted it on these boards.

Next they set off for the supermarkets to prepare for the Barbeque that night.

Finally after 2 days! We reached the highlight of the camp! The Barbeque! The Campers came in their secondary school uniforms and spent most of the night barbeque-ing, camwhor-ing, playing cards, swinging on the swings and munching on our food!

AFTER! even more Camwhor-ing through the night. We all fell on our beds in exhaustion.

Day 3

On the final day of the camp. We ended the camp on a more emotional mood as we wrote our well-wishes and thanks on drawing block pasted on each other's backs.

And with that we ended NPLGC FOC 2011 :)
The Committee would like to extend our appreciation to our Super Awesome Group Leaders.
As well as our SUPER DUPER AWESOME Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (I googled that) Campers!
Remember the goals you set! Strive towards it! Don't ever give up! (cause we will be checking up on you MUAHAHAHAHA)
Hope you were there!

Please accept our apologies for this late post, see you at training!
