MISSION 1# - FUNDRAISING

 hello club,


We have some good news to tell you.There are two actually.
The first one is about fundraising and the second one is about a new plan as to why we are fundraising.So without further ado I will reveal the new plan.

Our rev. sister principle has decided to connect the WiFi system upstairs so we can upload both the school's new website and the school's web society.
And so within 3 hours the executive committee of the club decided to hold a special meeting to experiment fundraising techniques and an ice-cream stall was suggested by the teacher's in-charge of the ICT Club.
without wasting time it was organized, and we managed to sell a litre of ice cream the next day.

Before revealing the future plans, let me thank the people who stayed by my side and managed to make it a success.
teachers in charge: Mrs.Ganga and Miss. Sewwandi
secretary: D.H.Gamage
head of organizing committee :P.K. Nagasinghe
Section head grade 10: H.Y.Kodithuwakku

Thank you ICT club, and fellow colleagues,school staff and the deputy principal .Last but not the least my heat felt gratitude lies with our dearest encouraging sister principal for the plans and the encouragement.

the next day i will reveal the finances to you.


President ,
ICT Club

new directions


04-09-2012
HI MARIANS,

 Today we had a thorough discussion about our active projects and plans with our teachers-in-charge.
We expect to reveal these plans at the next session of our ICT club.

we are expecting to make a revival in our technological aspects to provide better motivation for the improvement of computer literacy.

We are sure that this will create a binding student staff bondage,an extra educational tool for lessons and a place where the student body meets and coordinates peacefully.this system will improve the efficiency and the productivity of the school along with the educational standards.

I expect you all to support us in the upcoming projects and researches and hope you will enjoy your time working along with us.


Y.A.Mapalagama                                                                                                      D.H.Gamage

WELCOME


WELCOME TO THE FIRST BLOG CREATED BY THE ICT CLUB OF SMC !




DEAR READER,

We are trying to promote and to establish and intranet blogging system as a web society to our school, as a research project.This may or not be successful according to the future circumstances, but yet we are trying to bring the school's staff and student body as a family.

First of all to those who do not no what an intranet is,please refer the following link.

(please note that there can be some contradictory ideas that are personal views as well in the page below.)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intranet

This is going to be merely a trial research in our vacation to see if our friends and school will benifit with it.
In my personal opinion the exco and the organizing committee, for the upcoming ict programmes will be invited to try this out and meanwhile to actually benifit from this i am going to discuss with my friends whether or not we can lend the blog to the senior debate team of smc or as an alligned project creating another one.

Next time i post i am going to start typing how this actually began.I will also eaborate the reasons and importace of having and using a blog.
