So, we’re officially here. In the blogosphere.

I struggled with what would be the first official post. It should be prolific after all this time, right? Grand in nature. Broad in scope. So, I struggled. How would we start this faculty blog? I struggled some more. And then I realized it’s just like walking into a room full of people you’ve never met – we’ll introduce ourselves to you. It seems like the polite thing to do, right?

First the faculty. We are the Athena Faculty – the faculty which won War Games two years running (’07 and ’08) and the Boy’s Cross Country Championships ’08.

That’s it. You get the gist of what the faculty has achieved. Enough ‘faculty babble’. If you want to read more about the faculty, explore the various links made readily accessible to you. That will tell you everything you need to know about the faculty; our faculty committee, the faculty councilors, updates on upcoming events (ad hoc and formal) and much more miscellaneous information.

This space isn’t about that. This space is about people. People who have an unbreakable bond due to all of us belonging to the faculty of Athena. People here in this committee are fervent about planning events and leading for the welfare of our fellow Athenians. We are a passionate group of people. You’ll learn more about us – not the faculty, the people behind it.

There will be no shortage of passion in this blog. Sometimes you may agree with us, sometimes not. We want to hear from you. Anytime and all the time. We can’t wait for the conversations to start! What we do ask is that you respect the space. Constructive criticism is welcome, slander is not. Profanity is not. Basically, please don’t say something here that you wouldn’t say in one of our living rooms. We would appreciate that.

So, there you have it. Our little introduction to the blogosphere. If you have questions or comments, please ask. We’re listening.

Oh, and see this awesome blog template? It’s all done up by Jonathan Neo, so don’t forget to give a pat on his back when you see him!

Signing off,
Wilson Tham
Faculty Head of Athena
