Faculty of Athena :. Espirito Verde

That’s So Wicked!

AthenaFC 11/12 — Sat, 19 May 2012 07:51:42 +0000

On 11 May 2012, the story of Athena was told…

No, wait, it started before that!

Your potential Fac Witch and Wizards embarked on a journey on Yellow Brick Road, fighting it out for the top spot in Emerald City.

And so, the journey began…

They faced competition

It definitely wasn’t easy

And at times they were faced with obstacles

But they endured the hardships, and finally arrived at Emerald City!

It doesn’t end there though…

And finally, the crowning of our Fac Witch and Wizard: Wayne and Yee Shin from 12S62!

But what’s Wicked without some songs?

What’s Athena Faculty Outing without the crowning of GREEN KING?

Congratulations to Kelvin and Choong Hwer from S64 for winning the title of Green King!

Last but not least, we would like to thank the following people without which Wickout! would not have been a success:

Priscilla and ZhiXian, for being such wonderful emcees.

All participants and performers who were so enthusiastic in performing.
Junior FC for helping us distribute food during Wickout!
Huang Cheng for helping us with the capentry.
PA/AVA for helping us with the technical set-up for the venue.
Our sponsors for the event: Sunshine, Swensens, Nestle, Auric Pacific and Mountain Dew.
Nat, Joel Tan and Jun Wei for the awesome photos during the event.

Most importantly, all of you who came down for Wickout!

(Before anything else, please help us complete a survey for Wickout! that would enable FC to serve you better in the future: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFQ1QVlQVHh4WTZDQ2NYX0dUSGJJSmc6MQ#gid=0 [right click, open in new tab])

This is the last event that we will be organising for Athena, and we really really appreciate all the support that you have provided us throughout this journey in one way or another.

The green spirit lives on.

Love,

AthenaFC 11/12

A Parting Note

AthenaFC 11/12 — Wed, 16 May 2012 15:23:12 +0000

Hello Athena!!

Firstly, thank you so much for coming down for Wickout. The truly wickedest fac outing ever would have been nothing without your enthusiasm and support! We hope you all had loads of fun with all the freebies, the fried food, the scramble competition, and the Fac Witch and Wizard. Oh right, and with that, congratulations to Wayne Teo and Yee Shin, 12S62!

Today is our last day as your fac heads. As our term comes to an end, we would like to thank you for bearing with all our spasticness, zi-highness, autism and whatnot, and always showing your support to us, the fac comm, and the faculty. The journey has been an arduous one, no doubt about that. At the start, we weren’t exactly sure how we could live up to your expectations as fac heads, and what we could or could not do. There was a lot of confusion, conflicts here and there (we hope it didn’t show or affect any of you). As time passed, we learnt and grew, becoming who we are: as good Athena fac heads as we can be. Hope we did the title justice!

To the J2s, it as really awesome to experience our Hwa Chong lives together, especially during orientation when we swept everything, and even after, during Dramafeste and FOSH, we just kept winning! It’s great to see how far our batch can go, totally smashing all labels about us being the loser fac and about everyone finding it sian to be in Athena cause we (used to) suck so much.

To the J1s, though we did not manage to carry on the seniors’ winning streak, it’s amazing to see how though we didn’t really win many competitions, we all still had a very strong Athenian spirit which I would not hesitate to say is one of the strongest around. Proves to everyone that we don’t need to win silverware to affirm our pride for the faculty and to feel good about ourselves. Though we must say we were a little disappointed during campfire when we didn’t win anything, We’re proud to see everyone still high simply for being in this faculty. That was as good a lesson in spirit as any~

(Btw, Wickout had a really good turnout Really good.)

It seems, though, that one thing’s been true all along; you don’t really know what you’ve got till it’s gone.

As our summer come and passed, the green field (greener on our side) lives on within our hearts, to some infinity and beyond. Our time has come, as it inevitably does, but with pride and joy we hand down the legacy to the juniors. Nothing changes, though. Athena stands tall and strong.

That’d be what Athena really is; nothing but ourselves. All of us.

We are ATHENA!

A Hoot, A Hoot, A HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

3 Cheers for the rollin’ good times,

Faculty Heads 2011/2012,
Damian and Gunny
