PETITION Dear Mr Lau, A very good afternoon to you, sir. This letter is regarding the air conditioners in class 4E2, and I am writing this petition today on behalf of the entire abovementioned class. We implore you to read this petition carefully and to regard this with utmost importance. As one of the graduating classes taking the O Levels Cambridge Examinations this year, we have been advised by our various teachers to put in our efforts and to take this final year seriously. And as students, we understand and see the need to study hard for this year, and the school has been accommodating to our study needs. However, there is an issue which we need to raise to the school. Our class has been facing a lack of air conditioners ever since the beginning of school this year. Out of the 4 air conditioners placed in our class, only 1 is functioning poorly. Due to this, our class has not been enjoying the privileges other graduating and academic classes have. We have faced various problems in terms of studying due to the lack of air conditioners. Global warming has resulted in the weather being extremely hot recently, and unlike the other graduating classes, we find ourselves not being able to concentrate in class due to the unbearable heat. And also, as we are taking our Mid Year Examinations in our class, there had been complaints last Friday regarding the fact that the students find it difficult to concentrate on their paper while being sweaty and hot at the same time. This issue has been raised to various teachers and staffs of the school, but to our disappointment, no action has been taken. According to the previous occupants of 4E2, the air conditioners has been damaged even before we had occupied the class, and we were told that even then, the school did not repair the damaged air conditioners. We were not responsible for the damages done to the air conditioners, and we do not understand why we have to bear the consequences of the graduated students’ mischief. We believe that in the first place, the school had implemented the system of having air conditioners in graduating classes for a purpose, which is to provide the graduating students with the best studying environment possible. And we too, agree unanimously that with air conditioners, it creates a much more conducive environment to study. We are all aware of the level of importance this crucial year is for us, and like all the other graduating classes, we would also like to have the most conducive studying environment the school can provide us with. Thus, we would like to appeal to the school again, to replace or repair the damaged air conditioners in our class. Attached with this petition is a paper bearing the signatures of the members of class 4E2. We sincerely seek the understanding of the school for the actions we have taken regarding this issue. As this issue had not been solved since January, we had decided to take action ourselves as this issue has been affecting our morale and studying. Once again, we hope that the school will consider our request carefully. And on behalf of 4E2, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this petition. Yours Sincerely, Allison Tan, 4E2 |
