Proposal to Sydney, Australia  

In this ever-changing world that revolves around technologies, man can now no longer succeed without a globalized mind of knowledge and strength in communication skills. Therefore, I’m here to propose to you an 8-day overseas trip to Sydney, Australia where students will have a chance to appreciate culture and expand their horizon further.

Objective of this trip is to allow students to create an interest in the area of history studies and cultures. For instance, they can visit the Sydney Opera House and learn about the literature of the aboriginals of the country. They get a chance to communicate with locals and further learn about their lifestyles which is completely different from us in Singapore. Experiencing an overnight in a two-night farm-stay program, students can enjoy the idyllic life of farm accommodation. All these arranged-programs aims to increase awareness of cultural differences, expanding their knowledge and gives students a great chance to bond and have fun together as a team.

Safety of students will be kept at maximum. I recommend a small group of no-more than 30 students, preferably from the Secondary express 3 with excellent conduct in classes with good attendance. Students shall be supervised by three teachers with one that knows basic first aid and CPR in case of emergency. During the hotel overnights, teachers should conduct room checks and strictly forbid boys entering girl’s dorm and vice versa. Lastly, all lights will be out by 11.30pm sharp to ensure students get enough rests for the next day.

Value of trip may be expensive, but it will be worth the value. After all the knowledge and experience gained is priceless. Those in the Financial Assistance Scheme should be allowed for a withdrawal of up to $350 and I sincerely request the school to subsidize further too by an amount of $250.

 “Nurturing a leader in every learner,” says our school’s motto. By sending students abroad, we are increasing their knowledge of other countries and giving them a chance to explore, to be adventurous about learning new values that would be needed to excel in the coming future. I really hope you will give your greatest considerations and approval for my proposal. Thank you.

WenHui, Phoebe & Kojak
