Many thanks to my colleagues who teamed up with me to conduct the Peer Leader Selection Interviews.
We are aware that many students who sat through such Interviews would have been almost paralysed with fear and anxiety. I think that this anxiety is excerbated by the massive Conference Room table and the freezing air-conditioning in the Conference Room.
However, the Interviews fulfil a crucial task, and that is to sieve out those students of genuine quality and those with the potential to go far. Obviously your academic performances and daily conduct in school are essential factors in determining whether you get a shot at the Interview or not.
And so, it was extremely perplexing to us when a few students seemed to be overtaken by a spirit of muteness. They seemed incapable of answering simple questions.
No. Do not say that it is just a matter of that student being too nervous.
You must understand that in any Interview, it is your one chance to leave a positive impression on the board of interviewers and make an impact on them. Answering our questions capably and elaborating on them would go a long way in helping you progress beyond Round 1.
For those who had froze, you most likely lost your chance. You have to show us that you really want the job.
To the Peer Leader trainees, just remember, you are one step closer towards a life-changing milestone in your life. I am not exaggerating.
Becoming a Peer Leader opens up a multitude of doors in your life. These doors lead to greater opportunities for personal development and community service. Your life won't be the same, if the School deems you as worthy to be a Peer Leader.
Looking at the big picture, whether or not the photo of the PLs appears in the school magazine is an issue that pales in comparison to their deeds and acts of services. The School knows about the hard work that you have done all these years and deeply appreciates the difference that you have made in our school.
There will be tonnes to do next year, PLs. Just make sure that when school resumes in 2008, you are all set to serve.
At the moment though, I will soon be organising a meeting with all you Sec 3 PLs to discuss about your duties and responsibilities for this year's edition of the Peer Leaders' Training Camp in mid-December. We will be meeting once you are all back from OBS.
It's time for us to raise up a new generation of Peer Leaders. Are the Sec 2 trainees ready to rise up and step into bigger shoes?

Hi Kiddo, well done for making it to the finals. I'm really happy that you've been true to urself and pursuing ur passion.
