Hello Hadley-Hullettians! Hope you all had a good rest over the weekend. As you all know, the Aesthetics season for this year's IHC has already begun. Some of you have approached me regarding the details to each of the IHC events, so I have compiled the participation information (no. of participants etc.) for your reference and I would like to urge all of you on behalf of my House D to actively take part in the upcoming IHC events:

WRITER'S GUILD (4th Feb - 3rd Mar)
All houses are free to have as many entrants as they wish, and each entrant is free to submit as many entries as they wish. Participation points will be given to every entry submitted.
Students are freely allowed to enter poetry or short fiction, with the limit that all works of prose must be, at most, of 500 words in length. Prose and poetry will be judged separately. All works must be in English, and be entirely original.
Participants are to submit hard copies of their work to Mr. Wee (CCA teacher for Writer's Guild), by slotting them into a special box at the Teacher's Office, or to email soft copies of their work to writers.ihc@gmail.com.
The winning entry in both prose and poetry will win 5 points for their House; the first runner up, 3 points, and the second runner up will win 2 points.

ONE EARTH GREEN RACE (Tuesday 26th Feb, 3pm - 5pm)
Each house will send 1 representative team consisting of 4 or 5 members.
The amazing race consists of 4 station games. Teams will score points according to how fast they complete the whole race and their performance for each station game.
