HEY ALL YOU NEW SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is Matheus blogging here... Yes, the only guy blogger here. And don't look at my display pic - it's HIDEOUS.

Well. Back to the point.

Today was Day One of your Orientation!!!

Hope you all had fun!

Anyway, pictures for this day will be out at a later date, but rest assured that they WILL come out!!!

So try to remember your Mass Dance (we're going to do a HUGE one on Finale night, and it'll be so AWESOME!) and your cheers (seriously, you'll all look totally un-glam if you're called on to say some cheers and everyone holds the paper up!) and we have more fun things planned for you for tomorrow!!!

Hope all of you got home safely and were able to find the best route home from school!!!

Over this period of time, don't forget to try ALL the food stalls in the Caf, yeah?

Oh, and remember to bring your forms for tomorrow.

That should be all, so J1s, prepare yourselves for another time of good fun tomorrow!!!

Rest well and God bless!

Matheus :d

And in case you are wondering, some OGs have 2 OGLs because some OGLs have other duties, thus being too busy to handle an OG on their own. So yeah...

Hope you all will have an enjoyable orientation come January 2nd Wednesday 2008!

SEE YA'LL!

here are some of the sneak previews of the dry runs(:

get ready to help one another with OPEN ARMS(:

dont be shocked if you see classroom in disarray!
because you may still find precious gems inside! :D

just like what the OGLs are looking for. HAHA.

even though we are all lost and busy hunting for treasures, there are still times when we make new friends! :D

even camwhore! XD

not forgetting supporting your friends

and also helping one another, guiding each other along the way(:

by the end of the orientation, we hope you are not as lost as them! XD

How do I get to SAJC?

HEY ALL YOU SAINTS/ J1s!

If you decide to arrive at SA's doorstep by car, or even helicopter, please ignore this.

Otherwise, this How-to-get-to-SAJC guide is for YOU! (;

Reminder: This list is NOT exhaustive. They are just some suggestions for you to explore!

MRT

If you haven't already known or heard, we are located at Potong Pasir!!
COOL place, really! lol.
The buses that are available at the Mrt Station are:
13, 107, 133, 142, 147, 853.

and if you come from the Station,
you will probably enter by the Side gate, which is a rather interesting turnstile.

An alternative! would be to take a train to the air-conditioned Toa Payoh interchange and from there you can choose to take buses 142, 26, 31, 8 or 90! Five buses in all!

and now the problem of alighting!

Bus 142 takes you all the way to our Main gate!

yessss, you can't possibly miss this stop unless you have tendencies to fall asleep on bus journeys! heh.

and this following part is tricky..
Buses 26, 31, 8, 90 only take you to the St. Andrew's School Bus-stop. in short, the SAS Bus-stop. It is along the highway, at the Diocese of Singapore.

The trick, is to press the bell IMMEDIATELY once you see our beautiful, spanking campus!
Alighting after that can't be difficult for you. ;)

As you can see for yourself, the buses available at this stop are namely,
SBS Transit: 142, 8, 90, 26, 31, 154, 151
SMRT: 857, 966, 985

*Apart from Toa Payoh interchange, you may board these buses from elsewhere. (haha, yes. like duh?! okayyy fine.)

Now for the fun part! Alighting here, you get to take a breathtaking stroll through our St. Andrew's Village!
These are the landmarks you need to look out for all the way to the JC side! They are in chronological order( sequence you will see them from the bus-stop).

1) look out for this banner!

2) the unmistakable 'slope'! It gets muddy on rainy days.

3) uhhhh.. this door is just not your average door.

4)..you can wave to our friendly security guards!

5) Chapel of the Resurrection! Diocese of Singapore!

6)Church of the Ascension!

7) The colourful.. Ascension kindergarten! The kids are soooo cute! (:

Right beside the Kindergarten is.. the St. Andrew's School(SAS) gate! Do NOT walk right in! and do NOT even attempt, unless you belong to the Secondary side!

8) Confusing as it seems, continue to walk and you'll see the SAS canteen!
Fret not, it is actually not a tad confusing.

we ( the JC students) are actually allowed to lunch here, after 12.45pm! what a wide variety of food we get, right! :D

9) St. Andrew's Junior School!

10)..and onto our very own St. Andrew's Bridge that links the JC to the Junior and Secondary School side! It overlooks part of the Kallang River and is a picturesque sight to behold, especially in the evening!!

Thereafter, WELCOME TO SAJC!

what a long entry, I certainly hope this is of some help to you. (:

Meanwhile, gear yourselves up for some smashing, blow-you-over Orientation 2008!
L.O.S.T.
