Fun Day Out For Knowledge Universe | Mid-Autumn Celebration | National Day Dinner Celebration fusicivil service club n Charlie Ng From the General Manager, CSC GM’s Desk

TIME passes really fast. The June school holidays are over and the National Day celebrations are approaching. Past Events OVER the past two months, the Club was a hive of activity. There was the repainting work at the Bukit Batok Clubhouse, as well as the renovation and upgrading of the Koi Pond Garden at the Tessensohn Clubhouse. In support of the Public Service Week in May 2012, the Club hosted various government agencies’ public officers with a highly successful series of open houses and outdoor social activities. These efforts have led to an increase in the public officers’ awareness of the Club’s activities and their interest to sign up as members of the Club. The sumptuous Mothers’ Day lunch hosted at the Tessensohn Clubhouse’s Qian Xi Restaurant was very well attended too and every family went home with a souvenir photograph of their family. The Club also organised more than 30 social activities and workshops specially for the children of our members and public officers during the June school holidays. They ranged from social etiquette workshops to fun enrichment classes, bowling classes, baking workshops and parent and child bonding classes. These activities were very well supported by our members and public officers. Website Upcoming Events The Club will be organising the Run By The Bay 2012 at the Floating Platform at Marina Bay on Sunday, 26 August. The morning event includes a 3-km Fun Run to enable members and public officers to have a fun and healthy time whilst bonding with their family. More details are available at our Sports Website at www.csc.sg/stargames. http://www.csc.sg The Singing Star Competition is back to showcase the public officers’ singing talents. The http://intranet.csc.gov.sg preliminaries will commence in August. This year, a Group Category has been added to encourage more public officers to participate. The finalists will have a chance to sing to a 800-strong audience during the CSC Annual Countdown Party which will be held at Ritz-Carlton Hotel on 31 December 2012.

Corporate Entourages @ CSC

IN conjunction with Public Service Week, the Civil Service Club organised a series of Corporate Entourage Programmes where representatives and staff from different agencies visited the Club in May. More than 600 staff and representatives took part in the programme, where they visited either Tessensohn Clubhouse or Bukit Batok Clubhouse.

During the visits, they were treated to a series of social programmes and workshops such as zumba dance, macaroon baking, ukulele, bread making, rock climbing, archery and other interesting activities, all sponsored by the Club. At the end of the programmes, participants gathered for refreshments as well as to network with their counterparts from other government agencies. The participants gave a thumbs up to the facilities and services at CSC @ Tessensohn and Bukit Batok.

Ms Rachel Ong from NPTD (PMO) described these as “comprehensive”, and took part in the archery session. Ms Agnes Phang of PSD, who signed up as a member that day, felt the tour was well-organised, and especially liked the “airy, spacey” fourth floor. As did Ms Norlita Hamzah, from the Legal Aid Bureau (Ministry of Law), who praised the wide range of facilities available, especially the swimming pool.

And they hope that the Club would organise this again for the next Public Service Week!

We would like to thank the coordinators, representatives and staff from the following agencies for making the Corporate Entourage Programme a success: BCA, CNB, DSTA, HDB, ITE, JTC, LAB, MCYS, MDA, MICA, MHA, MINDEF, MINLAW, MOE, MOF, MOH, MTI, NAC, NEA, NHB, NP, NPTD, PRISONS, PUB, RP, SCB, SCDF, SING STAT, SPRING, SSC, SUP COURT, TOTE BOARD, VITAL, WDA.

6 Fun Day Out For Knowledge Universe @ CSC

Friday, 11 May 2012, dawned bright and sunny for staff of Knowledge Universe who gathered at Club CSC @ Bukit Batok. The company’s Staff Day was held at the clubhouse’s green and spacious premises: at the seminar rooms, art and dance studios, ballroom, pool area and bowling centre. As you might expect, there was, likewise, a wide variety of activities, classes and events for the participants to partake in!

The Staff Day kicked off with both outdoors and indoor mass activities - a walk to the nearby Little Guilin Park and a mass aerobics workout at the ballroom. Among the other highlights were the K-pop dance sessions, cooking demonstrations, and the make-up and skincare workshops.

There was also an exciting Treasure Hunt game in which teams raced against one another to uncover clues to the next stop! Bowling fans could enjoy themselves in both the fun and competitive bowling games at Westwood Bowl. The sessions on painting of personalised clocks and canvas bags brought out the artistic side of the ladies too! Tea breaks of sandwiches and packed lunch sets were given out to stave off hunger pangs.
