(3) How can students join the club? Are there any requirements for students to join the club?
Do approach any member for information and register your details for free student membership done online, which is renewable every semester. You may also approach our friendly campus activities staff for assistance. Any ability level is welcome!
(4) Whether all members can participate in club activities, or do they need to be screened for participation?
All members can participate in club activities. There is a screening process to find out what level you can currently play at and your personal expectations for consideration, but it serves to build better and more meaningful experiences within club activities. The only screening for physical events participation is the check in and out procedure for temperature taking due to covid-19 safe management measures. If you have a fever or feel unwell, do stay safe and see a doctor!
(5) What can this club bring to its members? (In terms of students’ study or life)
This club can encourage you to deepen your friendships and form new ones in your student life, if you are willing to put in the time and effort to improving the relationship. The process of putting in the work, acquiring and improving your skillsets on a technical level as well as a social level, makes playing so much more experiential and enjoyable!
3.Personal Questions:
(1) Please introduce your background.
Hi, I'm Jeremy, graduating student majoring in Psychological Science from Singapore and I love multiple sports including Basketball, Swimming, Running, Badminton and Ultimate Frisbee!
(2) Why did you choose to join this club at the beginning? And why did you decide to become the president of the club?
Some of the students and friends were very interested to pick up a new activity that is growing in popularity in Singapore and all around the world. It is very easy to pick up and learn the basic skills but can take more commitment to reach higher levels and have local and international interaction which JCU Singapore is uniquely able to offer and have a good mix of students. The university is ready to offer support to fresh ideas that can be workable within the school culture that is why I felt that the decision to create this club and become a club president was a possible route to have more interesting activities in JCUS.
(3) As a president of the club, what challenges have you ever met in your club? How did you overcome them?
Due to the current pandemic, a lot more considerations on proper spacing and infection control measures were implemented on a national level as well as within campus that affected the planning and running on activities and physical events. By having a willingness to be updated on the current guidelines and working with the stakeholders and participants it can be overcome. Having some previous experience working in the healthcare industry as well helped me as well in terms of being able to classify and modify activities in context of lowering the risk of transmission to be responsible when conducting activities as well. This is important as at any point things are fluid and can change for the worse or better but I can be prepared and adaptable for most situations.
(4) How do you balance the club work and your study?
What I found that works for me is to allocate and stick to the time you have set for doing your school work and club activities. One thing to recognise is to also account for buffer time the more complicated the task is, but do not be reliant on it. Having like-minded friends helps as well. Also, have some time for yourself doing a favourite thing to spend at the start or end of the day to reward yourself on having worked on something over the course of the day!
(5) Do you have any suggestions or advice for new students?
Be approachable, have a positive attitude, ready to learn and communicate with whoever you may have interaction with!
