In the midst of many events in April, we competed and emerged Debate Champions for Zone Sentul for the first time. Our young girls in Form 1 and Form 2 also clinched 3rd place in Choral Speaking for Zone Sentul for the 2nd consecutive year. We had good wins in the chess competitions. And Parveen Kaur, our headgirl made us proud by becoming Johan Nilam for Kuala Lumpur. She went on to receive the 4th placing in the Nilam National Competition in the Bahasa Melayu category. Wow!
On April 2, we had for the first time the Sarana Ibubapa PMR 2013. This is the first time we have organized the event. Parents of Form 3 students were invited to listen to how they could access the SAPS system to check on their children's marks. We also showed what the students had to produce in terms of PBS - school based system. I was encouraged by the large turnout of parents. The parents who came told me they found the event helpful.
On April 6, we had a wonderful and very fun Cross Country in Titwangsa Park. The invited aerobics coach who was very skilled had all of us warm up by doing many moves - from Gangnam to Bollywood to ...We were also blessed to have refreshingly cold Milo drinks courtesy of Prema who is the caring mother of one of our students.
On April 12, we took the PACE students and their parents to for their first official briefing at Ernst and Young Office in Damansara. Our young girls were very excited to go on the outing especially when they saw the MBS Sentul PACE boys coming on the trip. Many smiles lighted up the faces of students, parents and teachers during this outing.
On April 16, we had Sarana SPM which was an improved version of the Sarana PMR. Teachers showed interesting and colorful folio and samples of students' course work to the parents. Pn Fitri also showed videos of the students doing Peka Science.
Then during the morning of April 20, we celebrated our students and teachers' successes at the Speech Day. Sister Luke Morales, the church representative from the Board of Governors graced the happy occasion as our esteemed guest of honor. Mr Lee Geok Ai, the chairman of the Board gave generously a sum of RM 6625/- to the top SPM students. Mr. Stanilaus, a parent also helped the school receive funds from the Youth Association a sum of RM 3,100/- for the 24 all A's PMR and 7 all As SPM students. Our grateful thanks to generous benefactors!
On the 20th of April at 12.30 pm, we received honored guests for the official opening of the Lee Geok Ai Computer Lab. Some of our girls who were sponsored RM 100/- per month met their sponsors for the first time on this occasion. Mr Lee Geok Ai, the Chairman of the Board of Governors unveiled the plaque to the lab and cut the red ribbon to enter the lab to happy applause. Mr Lee Geok Ai has spearheaded the sponsorship of the computers in the ICT lab and it is befitting for him to have the honor of the ICT lab named after him. I shall write more about this in another separate post.
On April 26-28, two busloads of excited campers from SMK Convent Sentul escorted by several carloads of teachers went up to Kuala Kubu Baru to have the "Kem Badan Beruniform". The girls had a very adventurous time - 76 girls went and completed their jungle trekking. All campers also completed the challenging obstacle race.
What a busy month! Yet I see happy faces. We look forward to Labour Day and a much much needed rest. Rest, my dedicated teachers, rest and regain your strength.
