Our twin celebrations was graciously officiated by Datuk A.Chandrakumanan. He launched the event by his opening speech and executing an exciting gimmick which involved adding several spoons full of a certain chemical to plain drinking water and hey presto! - The smoke and heat from the vigorous reaction drew spontaneous applause and wide-eyed wonder from teachers and students alike.

Dr. Dominic Lau Hoe Chai also graced the occasion with his presence. It was quite obvious to all that Dr.Dominic was very intrigued by the experiment that he, Datuk and YDP PIBG Pn Rose Saidah performed to launch the ceremony. You could almost see the wonder and thinking that was going through his mind as he tried to identify the chemical reactions.
I was touched by Datuk A. Chandrakumanan's genuine and spontaneous concern when one of our students tripped and almost fell during the awards ceremony. He comforted the student and gently reminded her to slow down and that her safety was more important than the award ceremony.
Pn Rose Saidah, our beautiful YDP of PIBG is one very precious jewel. She always makes it her top priority to be with us in all major school celebrations. (She also sits through our discipline meetings.!!) I am impressed by her willingness to serve the entire community of the school regardless of race and religion. I was further touched by her graciousness when she who was fasting during this holy month insisted on sitting down together with us to accompany our VIP to a meal. She displayed great strength and maturity in facing temptation but not giving in at all. Thank you Pn. Rose !!
All three VIPs were very gracious and I enjoyed their presence very much. Their graciousness reminded me of a line in a favourite poem IF by Rudyard Kipling.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
Girls, one day some of you will grow to be VVIPs. Remember to .... never lose your virtue and learn to be able to walk with kings and with common men with the same graciousness. Be humble as these important gentlemen and lady were humble, and learn to walk and talk with both kings and common folks with the same graciousness.

| Iffah doing the experiment which changed from colourless solution to a bright yellow precipitate.
 Notice the Jalur Gemilang creatively stitched into a smart blazer.   Our talented afternoon girls performing a very fun and spirited song and dance item  singing patriotic songs.
