En Termizi AJK PIBG, Cik Rozinah, Datin Cheam, Pn Wang, Mr Lim and happy students
celebrate our success as we show off our trophy and the RM 5000 cheque!


What a day! 40 students of SMK Convent and several students performers plus proud parents, excited teachers and PIBG gathered in the DBKL auditorium today. The occasion? The Majlis Penyampaian Anugerah Kecemerlangan & Piala Pusingan Datuk Bandar 2010. Translated that means the Prize Giving Ceremony and the Mayor's Cup Challenge Trophy 2010.


The event was officiated by YB Dato' Raja Nong Chik Bin Dato' Raja Zainal Abidin and graced by the presence of Dato' Hamidah Binte Maktar, Datuk Seri Micheal Yeoh from YTL Land  and Dato' Khairil Bin Awang - the Director of Education in KL.

SMK Convent Sentul  recieved the Mayor's Cup and RM 5,000.00  amidst loud and happy cheers and applause from the guest of honor, Dato' Raja Nong Chik. O happy day!






I thank and salute the efforts of those who have helped us win this cup again this year. Pn Phoon Yoke Meng, the previous principal had set the groundwork and paved the way towards the excellent results recieved. The teachers of CS are remarkably dedicated and tireless in their efforts to bring out the best of their students. Our lovely obedient girls rose to the challenge and excelled in work and play. We recieved 22 awards for PMR (  RM 500.00 each ) 10 awards for SPM ( RM 700.00 each) and 8 awards for co-curricular excellence ( RM 200 each)

I want to thank several teachers who toiled together and lent their support to make this win a reality!    Pn Rubiah, our previous PK Hem made sure all the files were updated and well arranged. Her support and expertise especially during the time the evaluation team visited our school in May was truly invaluable! Right from the start, Pn Sarah our counsellor was there together with me from the first meeting right up to the day we recieved the awards. She worked tirelessly and quietly in preparing the girls for all the different activities from the camps to the exciting fun ECO Drum  percussion performance we saw today.

Pn Wang and Mr Lim had worked very hard both last year and this year to maintain our excellent academic results. Datin Cheam's spirited support always encourage me to rally on. Pn Rose Saidah - our wonderful and beautiful PIBG chairman is always very supportive - she makes great effort to come for every school event ( including our discipline meetings. Wow! ) Thank you - teachers, students, parents and community associated with Convent Sentul for help rendered and your encouraging support. For those of you who have prayed us into victory, Thank you!!!  


Sweet Success in winning the Mayor's Cup is sweeter still because Convent Sentul has now won this cup for the 3rd year running ( 2008, 2009 and 2010 ). However this year was especially challenging. Why? Previously, the competition was only among 8 schools in the Sentul Zone as the prizes and event are largely sponsored by YTL Land. This year, the competition was extended to 20 schools all around KL for the first time. Even when the evaluation team came in May, the main word they had for us was "The competition is very tough this year". Thank God we won again !

And to make the success even sweeter, today is the begining of my Biblical New Year. What a wonderful New Year gift! Thank you, Papa God for my great New Year gift. What a wonderful start to a brand New Year! I also noted an article in the Star newspaper today which mentioned that it is also a special day festival day for the Indians.


 And finally to the kind sponsors of this competition - mainly YTL Land. Thank you.

a big portion of the cash prize awards.

Sweet success!

It is wonderful to see many great things happen in school. Let me share briefly.

Last week, 3 officials from the Rotary Club visited us. They were Mr Veiven Goon, Ms Joyce Lim and Mr Chandran. These 3 officials came with wonderful news! They presented us with a cheque for RM 14K for the computer lab. Wow wow wow...! Now we can work on completing our target for the lab!


Thank you Rotary Club for your generous donation!

 Then we heard another piece of great news!

 Joyce Tan Sue Lee 2K won the 2nd place for National Level Public Public Speaking Competition for the Girl Guides. Joyce has been doing very well indeed. She had won the state level competition for Public Speaking and has gone on to clinch the 2nd place for the National Level competiton. She is a  vital member of our Chess Team which has gone national. Well done, Joyce! Keep up the good work!
And to the teachers who helped groom and mentored Joyce - Cikgu Ainil and the other English department teachers and the cocurriculum teachers under Datin Cheam's able leadership - Syabas!!!

I really see the Champion School aspect of CS. Now another acronym for CS.

CS - can study! so to all the PMR students, keep studying hard and aspire to make CS the champion school.

Convent Sentul CS Brainstorms


Last month in July, I visited Methodist Girls School (MGS)in Singapore together with 6 other Malaysian school principals and vice principals. We enjoyed the rich hospitality of our Singapore mission school and were richly blessed with gifts, wonderful ideas and renewed vision.



The march past in MGS with the girls watching from above.

There I realized that the acronym MGS, apart from standing for Methodist Girls School was also linked to their school identity To Master, To Grow and To Serve. I found the idea of using the school name to create an identity and a positive identity at that,  most intriguing!

So after a few weeks of being back in Convent Sentul, I issued a challenge and an order to every class in Convent Sentul Sentul to brainstorm together and to come back to me via their form teachers. The challenge?? They were to create positive acronyms for Convent Sentul CS.

With all the creativity that is brimming in CS, guess what came in! I am amazed and awed by the wonderful acronyms that came in. Girls, teachers,  you are really creative and awesome!!

                              CS from CS brainstorms stands for Champion School! Yeah!

Pn Phoon recieved the Mayor's Cup 2008 and 2009.
 Champion School in 2008, 2009 and ......??

I had a very long list from 5 Dahlia and from their list, I picked a few strong favourites.

                                                 CS stands for Caring and Sharing.


                                                                        

                                                             CS stands for
                                                       Cheerful Smiles and
                                            Celebrated School, Creative Sisters, 
                                                        Cool and Smart!


Anne's House Girls with their cheerful smiles were cool and smart!

                                         Confident Straight A's, Close to Success 
                                                       Center of Success

                                                                     
                             5 Bakawali gave me Cintaku Selamanya ( oh so sweet).



                                        Convent Sentul Constantly Shines

 I love some of the Bahasa Malaysia ones! Among my top favourites are Cergas Sentiasa by 4 Mawar, Cemerlang Santun by 2 Mawar, Cemerlang Sentiasa by 3 Anggerik and 5 Mawar, Cerdik dan Sempurna by 3 Kenanga is superb!

                                                          Conquer Storms.
                                                         Calm and Steady


                                                         Keep the acronyms comings!
                                              Convent Sentul is the Celebrated School!
