Attendance for Campfire Preparations

Dear all,

Please be informed that attendance for ALL campfire preparation trainings are COMPULSORY.

The campfire is not only our signatue unit event, it does help in the unit attaining our Frank Cooper Sands awards. When the unit gets the awards, the CCA point is also given to each member. Hence it is unfair if some do not contribute or contribute less, yet expect to be given the CCA point.

Hence unless you have a VALID MC (the trainings ae on school days anyway), you will be treated as absent. Letters are not accepted. We have to be strict on this to ensure fairness to all.

If you already have paid tuition ahead or any other events happening on those dates you could inform us (a letter have to be given by 16 May latest)  now as the dates have been put up before the examination was over.

This attendance will be taken into account as your overall attendance for the year. We are doing our best to allow more time for June holidays so we really hope for your co-operation.

Thanks.

Regards,
Ms Siti
