The Free School guiders

Finally, my friend and I have completed the workshop for this year's batch of Free School Guiders. Over the course of one-and-a-half days, we have been gathered in the Sixth Form Block's lecture theatre with some 22 students from Penang Free School, ranging from Second Formers to Upper Sixers. Although we allowed some of the sessions to be led by last year's batch of Guiders, Siang Jin trained them on their roles as responsible student ambassadors, imparting right information to any visitors to the School. Meanwhile my task was to coach and correct them on the School's history.

"Ask and you shall be told," I had informed them. Thus, I have been feeding them information about the School's main building, especially the Pinhorn Hall, the senior government quarters on the other side of the school field, and the School's history in general. Of course, it was impossible to tell them everything or even more. For that, they'll have to fall back on Let the Aisles Proclaim, or failing that, then at least the 10 Free School videos and the Free School app. I tried to pay special attention to this batch of students as this year's Student Leadership Workshops are taking a hiatus for the year. Due to some unavoidable issues, the leadership workshops should be set for return next year.
