Rethinking Interest Groups

Hi ho. I was thinking, why is it suddenly recess week already? It has been a busy busy semester hey. No? Well I haven't had to time to sit down to do this post, until now. Also because this is a long-ass post.

Today I want to talk about the Interest Groups (IGs). As this is Tembusu College, there are no formal definitions on what anything is, so I’m making up my own here: The primary purpose of IGs are for students to explore, well, interests (I’m being deliberately vague with “interests”, but play along will you?). If a bunch of people think they like dancing and want to dance together, they can start up an IG. Any Tembusian can start or join any IG. Joining an IG is not compulsory… the idea behind that is so the IGs will be completely interest driven, rather than achievement/ points-driven like Core-Curricular Activities (CCAs). Have a look at the current list of IGs here.
