Freshmen Orientation Camp Committee
The Hall 1 Freshmen Orientation Camp (FOC) is one of the main highlights of every academic year. Held annually in August, it marks the start of a new academic year by welcoming incoming freshmen of NTU into Hall 1, as well as the 4 unique families here – Disney, Simpsons, Chipmunks and Garfios. Packed with numerous fun-filled activities, Hall 1 FOC aims to introduce freshmen to the hall culture and its very long traditions. The camp encourages everyone to try out something fresh and enriching as they embark their journey in NTU and Hall 1.
The organizing committee behind the FOC is the Orientation Main Committee (OMC). From the planning of programmes to the execution of the camp itself, the OMC team work hard through the year with passion and conviction to create an unforgettable camp experience for all freshmen.
For those who are interested in joining the Orientation Main Committee, here are the list of portfolios available...

They also put together the goodie bags that are given out during the camp. They should have good business acumen, and are proactive in approaching sponsors.
Chief Group Leaders
The CGLs are the ‘father’ or ‘mother’ of the families. They take care of their family welfare and ensure that the family stays close-knitted throughout the one year from their appointment.
