Administration Operations

Introduction

We have been set an assignment by the Business studies department to organise an activity that will be taking place. The objective of the assignment is to develop administrative skills. We are put in the situation to work in a team and learn how admin functions within an organisation and how each individual has roles and responsibilities, which help others to perform to the best of their ability.

We were numbered 1 - 4 by Miss Chokr and were then put into our groups. Myself and six other members of the group are organising on activity, which will take place, the team of individuals is as follows:

* Chairperson: Luis

* Vice Chairperson: Kowsar

* Secretary: Shazna

* Vice Secretary: Manjit

* Other members: Myself, Alkesh, Sukhjiv

My group of six are a very hard working group, we all worked extremely well together to make this activity a success. Each member of the group plays a very important part in this assignment.

Luis who is the chairperson undertakes an extreme job, making sure everyone knows exactly what the are going and how he or she is going to do it.

Kowsar plays the part in which she has to motivate the others in getting the vital information, which is needed to make each individual's presentation a success. She also had to do her own research for her presentation in addition to watching and improving all the other members of the groups presentations.

Shazna and Manjit worked together. They both where responsible in making sure that all members of the group knew when an after school meeting would take place. They where also in charge in producing hand outs and other paper based information.

Other members of the group's responsibilities where to make sure that they have produced an action plan and have all the vital information which is needed for the presentation, this would include primary and secondary information. Each individual brings his or her own personal skills together to produce an excellent presentation. Even though at the beginning of the preparation for our final presentation our group were not doing so well with the absents of Sukhjiv and the lack of resources we had gathered. I believe that we all produced an excellent presentation, which convinced Miss Choker about paint balling in which we wanted to go ahead.

We as a group have proposed four ideas to Miss Choker in which we will select one to complete our administrative assignment:

* Kowsar - Ice skating

* Alkesh & Luis - Bowling

* Shazna & Manjit - Thorp Park

* Satnam & Sukhjiv - Paint Balling

In my assignment I am going to mention how we chose our final activity. To help the group select the shown event we've used when, why, where, what and how method. These helped us developing our pros and con's of each activity

Task A:

Provide a detailed description of the project/ activity proposed by our group.

Thorp Park

WHO WILL BE GOING?

Thorp Park is a popular theme park in the UK. It gives the year 8 pupils an opportunity to have an enjoyable experience with their fellow classmates. This trip will consist of over 60 people including six teachers to go to the theme park. Thorp Park will be a great way to meet other pupils in the year, which you don't already know, and also a excellent reward after the exams.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

The rides such as the Banana Boat and the Lego land are a excellent day out with your friends. Because the students are still very young and settling in it would be appropriate as Chesington and Alton Towers might be a bit too scary for some of the students which will like to be included in the day out. The Mathematics department arranged a trip to Thorp Park when I was in year 8 and I made new friends whom I did not know before and some are now very good friends this is an excellent opportunity.

WHEN WILL THIS ACTIVITY TAKE PLACE?

We are hoping to arrange a trip on the 5th May 2001. To get to Thorp Park we will have to leave round 8.30am and we will all have a central meeting area in the school outside the music department. We will approximately be reaching there at 9.30am.
