Student leaders from the Diploma in Retail Management (RMT) organised
a unique and exciting Freshmen Orientation for the RMT Freshmen on 25 April
2012. Instead of having the usual Orientation on campus, RMT’s programme took
place at Changi City Point. The group, comprising of about 100 students and
staff gathered at the Audi Foyer for a quick lunch and then set off for Changi
City Point for an afternoon of interesting team-bonding activities.
The group gathered at the mall’s outdoor amphitheatre and then
embarked on an exciting ‘Retailer Hunt’ game within the mall. Patterned after the
popular Korean game show ‘Running Man’, the Freshmen were divided into groups to
search for retailers and merchandise within the mall as well as nearby
Singapore Expo to complete their given set of tasks. The game provided
opportunities for the students to collaborate with their friends from other
classes to receive bonus points. Keenly participative, the RMT students enthusiastically
and eagerly scoured the mall for hints, clues and answers, all trying to be the
first to complete the hunt. After nearly 2 hours, all the groups completed the
‘Retailer Hunt’.
The Orientation continued with visits to several selected
retailers such as Home-Fix, Guardian, Nike Factory Store and Hush Puppies. At
each store, students were given a brief introduction of the company and its
business. The Freshmen found this interesting as it provided them a glimpse
into the titillating world of retailing.
The day concluded with a debrief by the Diploma’s Course
Manager, Mr Sam Tan as well as a prize presentation and photo session with the
teaching team. The Freshmen found this Orientation a
refreshingly unique one and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon bonding with their
peers and lecturers.
The sun was blazing!
