Hello ODACians!
2 piece of news:
our registration for the Nike+ Human Race has gone through! Thanks to James *claps claps* They have already received our cheque and the confirmations slip would have already been sent to your mail.
We will be going for our Bukit Timah Trek this Wednesday. Hopefully we'll have good weather. Anyway, if you're not sure of the details, refer to the previous post on the trek below. However, do note that it is COMPULSORY for you to bring along a poncho and a whistle. And i will strongly encourage you to bring along a backpack for the hike. Our new teacher, Mr Peh will most likely be accompanying us for the trek.
P.S. Renjie & Han Quan, remember your proposal..lol

History
NY ODAC was established in 1978 and was formerly known as OAC. The motto of OAC was
"The experience is YOURS".
During that time, OAC focused more on discipline and was more regimental as compared to the current ODAC. Mrs Koh was the teacher-in-charge then.
Furthermore, 4 marine groups, namely Blue Whale, Dolphin, Marlin and Stingray were initiated in the early years of OAC.
In 2003, Mr Thaddeus Lawrence took over the 1st ODAC. The 1st ODAC is also known as the 25th OAC and has a strength of about 20.
Mr Lawrence took part in the Sahara Desert Run in July 2009.
The motto of ODAC is
"Challenge your limits". As an odacian,we strive to explore and push our limits, be it physically or mentally, especially when participating in outdoors activities.
In addition, all odacians adhere to the following 8 qualities:
Commitment
Determination
Discpline
Integrity
