Report on Choice of Ideas for Primary School Students to Settle Down Quickly (underline)

I am writing this report on behalf of the committee of students. We have chosen the best idea to help the primary school students who will soon be joining our secondary school to settle down quickly and happily. I have chosen Lily’s idea of holding an Open House in out school. The prefects could show the primary school students and their parents around the school and explain to them what our school culture is like. This enables both students and parents to have a better understanding of the facilities provided and environment of the school. Staffs and students will be ready to respond to the questions raised by the pupils and the parents.

I did not choose Chee Keong, Ahmad and Sushila's idea as they are inferior compared to Lily’s idea. Chee Keong's idea of designing posters and producing booklets of information and pictures in several languages is not really efficient as students will get to know only what is printed on them. They will not have a clearer picture of the school’s environment which is an important factor to help them settle down quickly. Ahmad's idea of producing a short video will be very costly. We might not have the resources to produce the video, thus it is not suitable. Sushila's idea of holding a talk in various primary schools would cause all of us, as well as the primary school students to miss lessons.

We can further improve on Lily’s idea of holding an Open House. We can hold it on Saturday morning from 9am to 4pm as many parents do not work during weekends, hence are able to visit the school with their children. Prefects will be assigned for duty on that day. Some of them will introduce the various booths and the others will escort the family around. Light refreshments and small goodies bags will be given to them as welcome gift to enable them to feel welcomed.

I hope you will accept our suggestions.

Thank you.
