Hello 2012!

Date: 4th January 2012 (Wed)
Time: 9 a.m.- 4.00 p.m.
Venue: SASEM Meeting Room

Hey! It's back to school finally. If I don't sound so excited, forgive me. Must be the new school term blues :) Prior to this meeting, we had two meetings to listen to SBPA and another to strategise for panel's strategic plan for 2012-2014. So this was supposed to be our first teacher's meeting. Don't worry if you are slightly confused...just think of it as us having accomplished three meetings thus far. And I thought the Germans lost the war due to too many meetings/strategising :) Anyway, since meetings are the stuff teachers are made of, we had ours too, not wanting to be left behind.
