Orientation 2009 Introduction

To say Orientation merely helps one to settle into new school surroundings might be true for many other schools – but here at ACS (International), that is an understatement. It is the very highlight of ACS (International)’s yearly calendar. And the mark it makes on our students; never, ever goes away.

Even now, 3 years after I went through my very own Orientation, we still share laughs and conversations about what happened back in Orientation then. It is one of those things which you will remember and build your whole school life upon.

When you step into the School Hall for the very first time, you feel much more comfortable when everyone is new, just like you. And the only time everyone would be new would obviously be during Orientation! It will take a lot of effort, for some, to utter the very first words to a fellow Orientee, a complete stranger. But, from that point on, Orientation just flies by amidst the fun, games and laughs. Before you know it, you feel like you known that very same person your whole life. But the best part is that it is not only that one person, it is a whole group of friends that you get to know!

On the sleepover on the last day, you catch yourself thinking ‘I can’t believe this is all going to end so soon’ and that is when you know how comfortable you are with your new school, ACS (International). Trust me, you would feel that way.

There is only so much that can be expressed by words and maybe these words did not do Orientation as much justice as it is due. With that said, you have to experience Orientation yourself to see what I mean.
