Top Notch School Event

S

chool Events are those activities that we have like an award ceremony, End of session party, Carol Service, Open Day, Cultural day, Children's day and the likes.

School events are actually a means of publicizing your school, it tells me what kind of school this is, where this school is going in the nearest future.

Parents gets to invite other parents, child's family relations get to come around, societal figures may come, it may get to be on the Internet, etc as the world is going global etc.

With all this we wouldn't want to leave a wrong or bad impression on the hearts on everyone.

We need to identify :

What kind of event are we holding?  ( is it end of session, PTA night, Children's day, etc)

Outline WHY do we want to hold this event? (Aims, objectives, goals, of the event)

Who are we expecting at our event? ( list out all the names of the invitees and they must be relevant to the goal of the event)

How long will this event take? ( is it in Hours/ days/weeks? )

Who can handle the planning of this event well amongst all the available hands with me? ( maybe a teacher, head teacher, who is best at event planning that will all become a member of the events planning committee after identifying them, your number of committee is dependent on the size of the event, elect the proactive, efficient member to assist the Chairman of the Committee, or to Chair the Committee)

The Committee are to identify:

What do we need to have a successful event( the relevant resources needed to meet the outlined goal of the event - the colours, environment, location, venue, Master of Ceremony (MC), programme of the day, food, decoration, power supply, gifts, security,music, etc)

How do we get them?

How much will they cost?

Draft a budget for the event?

Send an invites to all the invitees

Assign tasks to carried out by other member of the committee

Give deadlines ( not so long) to every assigned task and ensure follow up on the individuals daily, weekly

Nice to meet you!

Always stand: It means “you are important enough for me to get out of my seat”. on the other hand it simply means “you don’t mean much to me; you’re not worth the energy to get up” Always smile: A Smile is the way our faces say “it’s nice to meet you” it’s a way to put others at ease. Always look the person in the eyes: The eye is the window to the soul. Eye to eye contact is an expression of interest, attention and confidence. If we fail look another in the eyes it may indicate a disinterest or lack of focus in the conversation, as if we are not interested enough to even look at the person. It could also indicate inner weakness or insecurity. Always shake hands firmly: Shaking hands is our way of making contacts and breaking down initial social barriers. Make your hand shakes as friendly as your manners. Always listen carefully: Get the name right, if you don’t hear the name clearly, ask to have it repeated. It won’t reveal that you’re forgetful rather it’ll show that you have respect for the one you’re talking to and that you want to remember their names. Always greet them with their first names: (Good Morning, Bukky) Again learning to use a person’s name is another way of saying, you’re a significant person to me. How would you want to be remembered?
