Take Part in the STOPMotion! Competition!‏‏

Hi everyone,

The STOP Festival Committee has invited all fellow youths from the Rotaract Club to participate in the STOPMotion! competition. This is an inter-school competition run in conjunction with the S.T.O,P! (Stop the ‘Ouch’, Please!) campaign and conference happening in Ngee Ann Polytechnic this upcoming November.

The “STOP” in “STOPMotion!” stands for “Stop the Ouch, Please!”, and when coupled with “Motion” (a synonym for a movement), it essentially is a call to all to make a public stand against violence and abuse in relationships. It provides a platform where you can let your creative juices flow and come out with a message to speak out against the violence in relationships, such as elder abuse, child abuse, marital/ date violence.

This is a good opportunity for students who are passionate about writing, the arts or causing a social movement. Also, it would be a good addition to their portfolio. Not only will certificates, CCA points and attractive prizes be given out, this can also be reflected as a community involvement project.

A waiver of registration fees is possible for students who are eager to participate yet unable to raise enough funds. Registrations for both the competition and conference are now opened.

To register and find out more information about this event, you may visit http://www.stopcampaign.wordpress.com or http://stopmotion09.wordpress.com/.

Rotaract Amazing Race

Hey Rotaractors,

Thank you for those who had participated in our first ever Rotaract Amazing Race on the 31st August 2009. As all of you know, Rotaract members can sign up for this race as pairs or as a person and the organizing committee will group everyone into groups of 4 to 6.

A total of 5 teams took part in this race and the race started from Ngee Ann Polytechnic LT51A. Everyone raced from the school and around town and there were a total of 10 stations. Wow~! Imagine completing the race in about 4~5 hours. Good job, everyone!!!

Although the weather nearly make a joke out of us, at least it didn't rain until the very end! Hope of you who had participated in this race has enjoyed yourself thoroughly and should you have any recommendations on how to improve this race, feel free to email to the club mail at cca_rotaract@np.edu.sg.

Let's take a look at some of the pictures that were taken. =)

Preparation Work
The organizing committee actually stayed over in school two days before the race to prepare all the materials that were needed for the race!!!

Preparing the materials


Picking the beans


Testing one of the station games


What are they so scared about?

The Station Masters
Woah~ Why do the station masters look so shag? It looks more like they were the ones running the race and were exhausted from the run.

Prize Presentation:
At least every group managed to get a prize after the race. =)

Consolidation Prizes
