Hi guys!!

Firstly, a BIG THANK YOU for attending Oweek, and making Oweek such a roaring success!!!

Oweek might be over, but this blog is not dead yet!!

We'll upload the videos screened everyday during Oweek, and selected photos from the hundreds our wonderful photographers took!!

So, keep checking back on this blog, and updates will be back soon ok!!

Smile,
Oweek Ocomm =)

IMPORTANT!

Newest updates:

On 4th of August, NUS will be having the Freshmen Inauguration Ceremony organised specially for the freshies!! As it is a formal event, participants are required to wear formal attire to the event or they will be barred from entering the premise.

We will be catering buses to fetch everyone to UCC, hence you will be required to report at 730am in FASS LT 8 (same reporting location).

For the second half of the day, we will be having "Arts Open". For safety reasons, you are required to bring your sports shoes (no slippers are allowed) for you to participate in the game.

After "Arts Open", the Ocomm have also prepared a special programme at night for everyone and we highly encouraged everyone to stay for our first night activity in Oweek'08. As the event might dragged till quite late, we will encourage everyone to stayover in school as you are required to report at very early the next day.

The Ocomm will not force anyone who is uncomfortable with the current arrangements but we highly encourage everyone to participate actively to enjoy yourselves thoroughly during this orientation week. I hope to see you guys soon.

Arts Camp' 2008: Too FASS for You?

The House ICs had led their houses to earn special abilities in the bid to defeat Sylar.

On the last day, the House ICs came together to fight Sylar and they defeated him successfully!
They left Arts Camp in victory, but . . .

Sylar recovered from his death!
He walked away with a swagger, chidding the House ICs for their naivity.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, Sylar clenched his heart and collapsed to the ground. . .

Dear fellow Oweekers!!!

Welcome to O-Week'08: O, Change the World - You alone cannot change the world!

We are 33 days to the next most exciting camp in FASS!!!

The website's layout is not out yet, but the details are!!!!!!

Q: What is Oweek?

A: Basically Oweek is an orientation camp during the last week of holidays before school commences, just that it is NOT a stayover camp, meaning you can return home every night to see your wonderful parents and lovely bed =). As it is an orientation camp, you can expect exactly what we do in other camps (like our Arts camp!)

Lots of fun and games to help you know new friends, freshies and seniors alike!

Also, to help you guys 'orientate' to the school, there will be campus tours, academic talks like how to use our CORS system to bid for modules! What's more, the best way to know about school stuff is to ask our friendly seniors themselves =)

Q: How do I sign up then?

A: For those who are interested, please email to fassoweek08@gmail.com in the following format !!!

Dear freshies,

Do not be alarmed if you can't find any information regarding orientation week at the moment. The reason being everyone is occupied with arts camp at the moment, thus the website will be updated as we approaches arts camp. Please feel free to email me @ erractical_existence@hotmail.com if you have any questions at the moment.

- Remmy -

P.S if you don't know, Oweek is a camp that is catered for:
1) freshies that are unable to attend arts camp due to work, holidays and other reasons
2) Arts camp vacancies are all taken up and you still want to try to embrace the "FASS" spirit
3) Freshies (arts campers) who will graduate and promote as freshies councillors after arts camp to help to facilitate and welcome the remaining undergraduate cohort.

Please be reminded that arts camp max capacity is 280-300 freshies and the annual cohort freshmen amounts up to 1k++ freshies!!! Thus, alot of you will have the second chance of orientation during oweek itself.

The registration will open soon. Please be patient.

More updates coming your way!

faq

2008-06-01T09:13:00.002-07:00

1) What are the dates for Oweek?

Oweek will be held from 31st July to 7th August. For the weekend in between, Saturday, 2nd August, will be a half day while Sunday, 3rd August will be an off day. We will break camp in the evening on 7th of August.

Additionally, there will be academic talks held by the school administration on 29th and 30th July.

2) What is the difference between Arts Camp and Oweek?

The basic difference between Arts Camp and Oweek is that Arts Camp is a 5-day 4-night stay-in camp while Oweek is a 7-day camp which does not require you to stay over in school. We do have a few night activities in our programmes but you get to go home after we break camp each day.

Oweek is also more academically orientated as we have arranged for talks for modules, bidding time and experiences in different majors to be shared by the seniors.

Otherwise, Arts Camp and Oweek are both about making friends and having the most fun while doing so!

3) What are the programmes for Oweek? What are we going to do during Orientation?

We will only be unveiling the programmes for Oweek day by day. This is to keep the camp more exciting as you will be surprised each day with the different programmes. We make it a point to make each day a unique experience for you guys. Do look forward!

As a precautionary measure, we will also be briefing the camp at the end of the day what to take note of and what to bring for the following day.

However, if you need to make special arrangements based on the programmes for whatever reasons, please feel free to approach our friendly PR team with your queries.:)

4) Is Oweek compulsory?

No, Oweek is not a compulsory event. However, we highly recommend incoming freshies to join us as you will learn a lot of valuable stuff about life in FASS from the seniors and also make some of the best friends of your life! You are only a freshie once, so take this chance to sign up for our camp for The Experience of your lifetime.

5) Is Oweek a stay-over camp? Can I stay over for Oweek?

No, Oweek is NOT a stay-over camp. Based on experience though, some OGs/House do choose to stay over should programmes end slightly later on some days.

However, it should be stated that staying over in school is strictly based on your personal choice. The Ocomm is not responsible for any loss of personal belongings or safety of campers should they choose to stay-over in school. Additionally, no accommodation is provided for the camp, so you will have to find your own spot in school to sleep for the night.

6) What do I do if Arts Oweek clashes with my Hall Orientation?

As Hall Orientation occurs in the week starting 25th July, we offer freshies/councilors interested in joining Oweek these alternatives:

a) Hall Camps will generally clash only with the first 2 days of Oweek (i.e., 31st July and 1st August). You can join Oweek once your hall camp ends. However, you are requested to register and make payment with us as per normal procedure.

b) You can also shuttle between the two camps as per your liking, meaning you go for hall camp for certain programmes and come for Oweek for certain programmes. This will only be the case for the first two days of Oweek. Similarly, you will also be requested to register and make payment first.

7) Oweek clashes with the bidding rounds, I don’t want to miss them. What should I do?

The Organizing Committee has already taken this into consideration in the planning of Oweek. We have already allocated sufficient time for freshies/councilors to do their bidding before going for programmes.

Additionally, freshies will enjoy the special privilege of having seniors around to guide you through the process and give you advice on how to bid and what modules to choose. This beats any dummy’s guide!

8) If I belong to another faculty/two faculties, can I go for Arts Oweek?

If you are from another faculty, we will put you on the waiting list and inform you if there are extra spaces for the camp. We seek your understanding that we give priority to students from FASS.

If you are a double degree student with FASS and another faculty, you are more than welcomed to join us. Feel free to register for the camp.

9) How do I register for Oweek?

Unfortunately, registration is closed as we have received an overwhelming response from councilors and freshies alike.

10) When is my spot in Oweek confirmed?

For Incoming Freshmen,

Your spot in Oweek is confirmed as long as you have received an Official Receipt from us!:)

For Councilors,

You will be required to hand in registration forms and make payment during Pre-Camp or at Raffles City Starbucks. You can get your friends to do so in your place if you are occupied otherwise. Once you have made payment, your spot in Oweek will be confirmed. If you are unable to make payment either way, your slot will be taken away and given to another on the waiting list.

11) Can I be grouped in the same OG as my friends?

As much as we would like to accede to all your requests, we are unable to do so for this one. We will take note of these requests and try as far as possible to meet them. However, we seek your understanding should it be not possible to do so due to administration issues. Do not worry too much about this because after all, joining camps is about making new friends anyway!

12) Most of the people in the OG already know each other from Arts Camp, I am worried that I will feel weird in the OG. How now brown cow?

We believe that our councilors are friendly people who are more than willing to make friends with the fresh freshies! Over the years, we have seen people bonding perfectly fine with their OG mates during Oweek. We think it will not be an issue as long as you come with a willingness to make friends and an open heart!;)

13) Can you accept just one more freshie for Oweek?

We have already maxed out the largest possible camp size for OWeek! We have limited resources to work with so there is a limit to how many people we can accept. Please do understand!
