Secretary of the student Union

Course on Leadership an teamwork in schools

Hong Kong Adventure Bound School

Thank you for agreeing to be the school representative at the briefing to be given by

the Co-ordinator of the Course on Leadership and Teamwork in Schools.

As I mentioned to you previously, I would like you , as secretary of the student

union, to write a letter to the parent –teacher association(PTA). We would like the PTA to

subsidise the course because it is so expensive. I have already discussed this with Mrs

Dorothy Chan, the Chaiperson of the PTA, but a written request from the students would

be appreciated.

In the letter tell Mrs Chan that:

‧ Ten of next year’s secondary six students(5 boys and 5 girls )hope to attend this

course to prepare them for their leadership roles in secondary six seven

‧ I would like the students to attend the course in August after the orientation day for

secondary six students . look at the school calendar and the course brochure and find

a suitable time when the students will be free to go , and give dates for the whole

course.

‧ Try to make sure that she realizes the money will be well spent , so

1. mention what types of leadership roles the course prepares students for

2. give examples of activities on offer.

3. explain what leadership qualities it develops in students ,and

4. explain how it helps students to work in teams

‧Make sure you mention the deadline for applications because there is not much time

Finally, ask her if the PTA could kindly subsidise the course by course by 50%

because it is so expensive. You will need to inform her of the exact amount we need.

Thank for your help .

Testimonial from the district commissioner, Sha Tin scout group

Sha Tin Scout Group P O Box 205, Sha Tin Central Post Office

To whom it may concern

Lam Wai Hung, John has been an active member of the schouts since he joined his

scout Group in September 1995. Last year he became a patrol Leader of his scout

Goup.

He has always shown great commitment and enthusiasm. While on camp he has a

positive attitude and gets on well with other scouts. This is demonstrated by the fact

that he has completed the pioneer course with distinction and has has been waarded

the camp warden badge.

When presented wit a problem, he can examine it intelligently and come to a

sensible decision, he has also shown good leadership qualities.

He has obviously enjoyed his involvement in the scouts and has often entertained the

group on camp with his singing.

Dera John,

Just a quick note to thank you for your excellent work in co-ordinating the Inter-school

science project. Your helpful attitude in co-ordinating various members of the group was

favourably commented on by teachers of many schools. I would have found the work

much more difficult without your help.

I must say I found the project of your team really interesting . it was very creative in

concept and very well designed. You did a great deal of really good research which

should prove to be most useful in the future.

I look forward to seeing you next year.

Yours sincerely,

B Lee
