IMPORTANT! - At all times there must be someone at the booth.

What you need to know:

Before you begin your duties: Report to the ODAC store at 9.45am to place your belongings. Bring along your handphones because you may require them to contact your next shift members. If there is a change in time, we will send out an sms to inform all of you.

People in red: You are the “Last man” for each shift. This means that you will be the last one to leave the booth. You will only leave your booth for the next shift when people from the next shift come over. For example, from 10am -12pm, Jacqueline, Feng Zhu and Benjamin will be doing duty Outside LT 4. At 12pm, Jacqueline and Benjamin will leave for their respective duties while Feng Zhu remains behind. Feng Zhu will then wait for the next shift’s Christabelle and Jonathan to arrive before she can leave. Therefore, please make sure you know who is supposed to come over to take over you.

Attire for tomorrow: Wear school pants or skirt with ODAC shirt, bring either track pants, longer shorts or P.E pants to change into once your shift starts. Those who want to abseil, i.e. girls please ensure you have track pants/ longer shorts.

Regarding lunch: We will all be entitled to the free buffet lunch at 12.15pm in the hall. However, at all times, there has to be someone at your respective booths. As such, you will have to take turns to have lunch. This arrangement will be left up to you. If there are 4 in your group, you can choose to have lunch in groups of two. Once one group comes back, the other group can go.

Those who need to leave early/leave for a while/ have other CCA booths to tend to: Please call either Melvin or me to inform us so we can either go down and replace you or send someone to take over. It would be best if you could inform me beforehand as to the time that you will need to leave, and what time you will be back.

Secondly, the One-Minute Challenge. People doing duty outside LT 4, do pay closer attention to this portion.

This is our One-Minute Challenge:

Instructions to students

A floor plan will be given to each participant.
Participants will be given 10seconds to look through floor plan and clarify any doubts of names of items.
The participant will then have to pick out the necessary items from the bunch of items on the floor, and rearrange the necessary items in the tent , as shown in the floor plan.

*The Floor Plans have 2 difficulties. Start by giving the easier one first. If too many people are finishing the task easily, replace the floor plan with the more difficult one. Floor plans will be at the booth tomorrow.

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.
