Dear All,
As part of measures to reduce the risk of Influenza A (H1N1) among students, CLEAR Club has been notified by the Foundation Programmes Office (FPO) to cancel NIE (CLEAR Club) FOC 2009. This will help to minimise the risk of H1N1 spreading within the school community and in Singapore before school reopens.
Meanwhile, freshies don't be disheartened! Discussion regarding the dismissal of FOC 2009 is ongoing and further instructions will be provided again to update everyone. We might be planning other activities for everyone, so stay tuned!
Sorry for all the inconvenience caused and thank you for taking note.
Work hard, play hard
Hi there!
For people who might want to know about us and our life in the club, here's your chance!
On most days we'd probably look like this to people.
Through we are a serious batch of ppl when we work, we are a crazy bunch when we're having lots of fun!
We have had many outings and some of the more significant ones are as follows:
The Sentosa outing was a memorable one for the EXCO members who attended, as it marked the success of the first event (Mid-autumn Festival Celebration) we worked together, which had garnered a very good response from lecturers and students alike.
When we finish a big event, usually we'd gather for a hearty meal together.
At our second gathering, members not only ate delicious food togather, but also gathered at the bowling alley and bicycle pathment of East Coast Park and had a few hours of fun together.
The best remembered outing for the members of the EXCO is probably the outing at K-box, where we sang our hearts out for as many as 8 hours!! We were all very 'high' and crazy that day, and it was suprising to find out how many good singers there are in the club.
If you want to have fun like us, be sure to join our family!
More details of recruitment of EXCO and Sub-comm would be revealed during 1st August's Orientation.
See you on 1st August!

Some Questions Answered
Da Jia Hao!
We decided to use this platform to answer a few of the more common questions posted to us during the PGDE registration day(s).
Q1. What is C.L.E.A.R club about?
Chinese Language Educational & Research (C.L.E.A.R) Club is a rather new club, having only around 7 years of history since its establishment. However, it is one of the largest clubs in NIE, with all the student teachers taking Chinese Language under its wing. We have helped to organize events in the campus to promote and share the Chinese culture among the students and lecturers. Furthermore, we provide a channel for the Chinese Student Teachers to share their enthusiasm for the Chinese Language.
Some events that have been carried out in the past:
1) Celebration of festive seasons to promote the Chinese cultures: Mid-autumn, Chinese New Year.
2) Talks to prepare future teachers for the challenges ahead: Pedagogy Sharing Sessions, Pre-practicum talks, Induction etc.
3) Overseas exchange programme to overseas teacher-training institutions to gain exposure to teacher training overseas, as well as to pick up anything that might be useful for us to apply in Singapore.
And these have been shown from out previous few posts on this website.
We welcome enthusiastic and responsible student teachers to join our EXCO (and Sub-comm) in the future.
Q2. What's the dress code like for the orientation for the whole Chinese cohort on 1st August?
Anything!
But i mean anything that's allowed according to NIE dresscode.
To make it simpler, dress/bottoms that are at knee-length or below are generally safe. No revealing top/top with vulgarities printed, and that includes sleeveless tops like tank tops or spagetti straps. Shoes should generally be non slipper-like.
Q3. Why must we pay $15 dollars? What is this money for?
These $15 are for the membership fees of the club (which is used to cover our expanses when events are help for the members), as well as pay for the club T-shirt that would issued to all members at a later date.
That said, REMEMBER TO PAY UP at our booth after registration!! haha >.<
That's it for the time being. More updates coming soon:)

Hello onboard!
Hi everyone!
Yesterday and today, we were able to meet with many PGDE freshies! It was really fun, as it reminded us that something similar happened to us not too long ago(: Don't worry, you'll soon get used to it. You can always approach seniors for help, and you'll soon find out how warm and friendly NIE students are (no self-boasting intended).
Are many of you lost on the way to the registration venue?
Well, the first thing that overwelmed most of us is the complicated structure of the buildings. Be sure that the first 2-3 weeks always carry your NIE Passport (you'll need the map). You can also see one at the 'links' section of our website.
For those taking Dip(ed) and BA(ed) students, we look forward to seeing you all at the registration exercise on 23rd/24th JULY! Don't forget to check out our booth at the MOTOR DEVELOPMENT ROOM just opposite the NIE gymnasium where registration is held;]
More updates soon~

Jointly organized by the ALC division and SCTU , the pre-service induction is organized for graduating students to help them understand the roles and responsibilities they would assume in school. The session updates them on the implementation of the latest policies by MOE.
Chinese Pedagogy Sharing Session
In this session, we shared informations and knowledge that we gained in our Hong Kong Overseas exchange program last year.
Pre-Practicum Sharing Session
CLEAR Club organized a pre-practicum sharing session to help trainee teachers teaching Chinese, to prepare for practicum.
Chinese New Year Celebrations
We started of the year with the Chinese New Year celebrations, which we collaborated with PGDELT to put up. Though busy with decorations and preparations, it paid off to have the programs running smoothly with everyone enjoying the performances.
A Walk Through 2008
Reminiscence Night
(Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration)
That was the first event we organized as freshmen. We put up a skit and held a competition featuring the best dressed, shapely ladies in cheongsam that wow the audience, also not forgetting attractive prizes which send our lucky winners home with smiles. After the performances, our guests took a walk at the bazaar outside which exhibits toys that our parents played when they were young and yummy food; five stones, miniature toys, malt candy, etc.
Hong Kong Overseas Educational Trip
We mark off the year with a year end trip to Hong Kong to investigate their education systems, and to understand how Chinese lessons were conducted, while we shared with them what we had here in Singapore. During our stay in Hong Kong, we went to St Margaret Co-educational English Secondary & Primary School and Evangel College; we would always be greeted by bubbly, enthusiastic students who never failed to brighten our day.
Apart from the observations, our amiable hosts who took us to picturesque places and restaurants with fabulously rich seafood.
