Republic Polytechnic Student Life Fiesta
The Choices team was on hand to help Republic Polytechnic at their Student Life Fiesta on 16 April 2008.This event lasted for three days at the RP campus, and it aimed to introduce first year students to the array of Co-Curricular Activities they can participate in. RP has all sorts of CCAs, including ballroom dancing, Japanese culture appreciation, rugby, drama, volleyball, etc.
The crowd was happening and this is one of the most interesting CCA drives we have ever been to! There were performances by the acapella group, the Malay dance group and the guitar club. Each CCA group was doing their best to attract members – some students were even dressed up in costumes to promote their CCA!
Early birds were given a reward – a goodie bag chockful of attractive vouchers and products, inclusive of a copy of the Choices magazine. As one of their sponsors (we sponsored 1000 copies of our magazines), our team was stationed at the goodie bag redemption booth to help give out the goodie bags.
As soon as the goodie bags arrived, students began crowding over, wanting to get their hands on it. By word of mouth, the number of students who knew we were distributing something free increased and the crowd got bigger. Who wouldn’t want freebies?
Our goodie bags were snapped up within two hours – all 300 of them for the day. Those who didn’t get one were told to come again early tomorrow or the day after.
We had fun meeting the students and experiencing RP’s Student Life Fiesta. Hopefully we can be part of this event again next year!
