EnglishSMART Programme

Date: 17 July 2010 (Saturday)
Venue: Kluang Lake

The ELDSS of SMK Canossian Convent organised a programme called EnglishSMART today at Kluang Lake. We invited five schools to participate- SMK Teknik, SM Belitong, SMK Tun Husein Onn, SMK Tinggi Kluang and SMK Bandar T6. Altogether, we had 60 students and 26 facilitators. My biggest fear was the rain but I already had a contingency plan for that with the cooperation from the city hall of course. It did rain the night before. Awakened by the rain at 4 a.m., I couldn't sleep anymore thereafter!!  Talk of anxiety...But all praises to God when we arrived at 7.20 the next morning. The rain had stopped and we could run our five activities smoothly till 12.30. We had the front of Dewan Tunku Ibrahim, Kluang Lake all to ourselves as the tai chi group had finished their routine. We had five activities lined up: Ice-breaking, Wordsmith, My Story, Puzzlemania, Find Me. I was impressed with the groups' presentation for 'My Story' particularly.

Overall, I was very pleased with the programme and I must thank the ELDSS committee members, some of whom deserve mention- Abby (president), Chandrika (secretary), Balkees (treasurer), Farah Yasmin (Vice-president), Dewi, Sahsirekah and all the 26 facilitators. Good job girls!!  The evaluation we received was positive and encouraging. Thanks to all participating schools and to Mr Cheng Meng Ang (GPK Co Curriculum) for kindly consenting to give away the prizes and not forgetting Pn Nur Atiffa Atim (Head of Panel, SMK Belitong) and Cik Farhan  (a young and enthusiastic English teacher from SMK Tun Hussein Onn) for assisting me as judges that day. It was all worth it! I hope the ELDSS committee members picked up some very valuable skills on how to organise a district event such as this in the future and of course leadership skills too. With a little bit of imagination, anything is possible. Bravo to all!!

Who snapped this one? I love this!!

My lovely facees!! Girl power!
