 Course on Leadership an teamwork in schools
Hong Kong Adventure Bound School
Thank you for agreeing to be the school representative at the briefing to be given by
the Co-ordinator of the Course on Leadership and Teamwork in Schools.

As I mentioned to you previously, I would like you , as secretary of the student union,
to write a letter to the parent –teacher association(PTA). We would like the PTA to
subsidise the course because it is so expensive. I have already discussed this with Mrs
Dorothy Chan, the Chaiperson of the PTA, but a written request from the students would
be appreciated.

In the letter tell Mrs Chan that:

‧ Ten of next year’s secondary six students(5 boys and 5 girls )hope to attend this
course to prepare them for their leadership roles in secondary six seven
‧ I would like the students to attend the course in August after the orientation day for
secondary six students . look at the school calendar and the course brochure and find
a suitable time when the students will be free to go , and give dates for the whole
course.
‧ Try to make sure that she realizes the money will be well spent , so
1. mention what types of leadership roles the course prepares students for
2. give examples of activities on offer.
3. explain what leadership qualities it develops in students ,and
4. explain how it helps students to work in teams
‧Make sure you mention the deadline for applications because there is not much time
Finally, ask her if the PTA could kindly subsidise the course by course by 50%
because it is so expensive. You will need to inform her of the exact amount we need.
Thank for your help .

Dera John,
Just a quick note to thank you for your excellent work in co-ordinating the Inter-school
science project. Your helpful attitude in co-ordinating various members of the group was
favourably commented on by teachers of many schools. I would have found the work
much more difficult without your help.

I must say I found the project of your team really interesting . it was very creative in
concept and very well designed. You did a great deal of really good research which
should prove to be most useful in the future.

I look forward to seeing you next year.

Yours sincerely,
B Lee
