GC 2012: Information regarding parking and reminders about GeoTrail and the Grand Finals

Dear teachers,

We hope that your preparations for the GeoTrail and Grand Finals have been going well! The NUS Geography Challenge 2012 Organizing Committee would like to remind you and your students that GeoTrail 2012 will be happening this Saturday, 31 March. Students are reminded to report at at 0730 hrs at the Fountain Square of City Square Mall in their YELLOW GeoTrail teeshirt and PE shorts to register for the event. A briefing will be conducted at 0815 hrs, and any team that arrives later than 0845 hrs will be disqualified. Also, students are reminded to bring along:
  • Their I/C or EZ-link card for identification
  • Individual indemnity forms for each student
  • One signed copy of the Rules and Regulations for each team
  • A full set of school uniform for the Grand Finals
Students are also strongly encouraged to bring street directories and bus guides, as this information will not be provided on the day itself. However, students are not allowed to bring brochures and notes for the trail. More information on what to bring and what not to bring can be found in the information circular. A thorough bag check will be done before students head off for the GeoTrail.

Please refer to the left sidebar on this blog for the information circular, should you require more details. Schools are kindly requested to read through the Rules and Regulations, and to bring along one signed copy for each school on the day. Any breach of our rules and regulations could result in disqualification.

Also, with regard to parking for the Grand Finals at the Shaw Foundation Alumni House (SFAH) Auditorium, teachers are strongly advised to park at Carpark 15, near Temasek and Eusoff Hall, and not at Carpark 14 (which is reserved for NUS staff). A map of the area is attached for your reference. The SFAH is circled in green, while Carpark 15 is circled in red. The closest bus stops and the buses that stop there are also indicated on the map. Should you require a more comprehensive map of the whole of NUS, you may visit http://www.nus.edu.sg/campusmap/.

Teachers are also advised to head straight to SFAH at 1530h for the Grand Finals. This is to prevent a crowd outside LT11, where students will be gathering and washing up before the Grand Finals. Rest assured we will have ushers to lead students to the SFAH.

The Grand Finals are expected to end at 1930, after which a buffet dinner will be served.

Thank you! Do email me if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you there!

Best regards,
Shona Loong
