The LEE GEOK AI Computer Lab  was officially opened on 20 April 2013. We, in of SMK Convent Sentul accord this honor of renaming the computer lab. the Makmal Komputer LEE GEOK AI  in view of Mr Lee's many many contributions to our school. His sterling leadership as the Chairman of the Board of Governors, particularly in spearheading the solicitation of funds for the school computer lab was the main reason  for the set-up of  the new computer lab. Mr Lee Geok Ai has been re-elected Chairman of the Board of Governors  for the third term running.

We also had the honor of meeting many generous sponsors of SMK Convent Sentul for the first time when they came to celebrate this auspicious event together with us.

Students waiting to show their ICT skills

We were delighted with the students' creative ICT skills. We viewed lovely and encouraging movies made by our students under the supervision of teachers. The students showed the computer animation games they had developed. Some showed how they maintained blogs. Some showed how they used ICT for lessons.

Below are some snippets of the movies done by the students. I am unable to upload them currently as they are quite heavy. The first section of the snippets are from the movie produced by the students under the supervision of Pn Fitri and Pn Harnida.

Happy in work and play

The heart of education is the education of the heart.

The following snippets are from the movie GlimpseofCS.wmv done by JazLyn Tan and Diana from 5 Bakawali 2013. They went around the school,  took photos and videos and interviewed a wide spectrum of students and  teachers.

I wish to thank all the teachers and students who have worked very hard to make this event a great success. Pn Harnida, Pn Sarah, Pn Fitri and the computer teachers were very passionate in training the students and developing their computer skills. Of special mention is Pn Vasantha who came up with the brilliant idea of honoring Mr Lee by renaming the computer lab the Makmal Komputer Lee Geok Ai.  Another teacher of special mention is Pn Wang Jok Kheng who persuaded her husband Mr Chew Hwa to generously donate the beautiful shiny black marble plaque used to officially name the lab. All the teachers and students worked very hard to make two major events on the 20th April 2013  - the Hari Anugerah Cemerlang 2013 and the official opening of the Makmal Komputer great successes. Thank you!!!

PACE officially began on 23rd April 2013 in the SAL room. Our students revel in the attention given to them to help them understand and catch up on their studies. The school selected 3 teachers to provide tuition in B. Melayu, English and Mathematics on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. The tuition and lunch for PACE students are sponsored by Kuala Lumpur Kepong. We are truly blessed to be selected to participate in this pilot intervention program! Thank you Kuala Lumpur Kepong for the generous sponsorship. 

Prior to the  actual activities starting in the SAL room, our students and their parents were taken to Ernst and Young's posh office in Damansara on the 12 April for their first briefing and an eye opening tour of the E&Y office! Our students and their parents, 3 teachers and I attended the event and were treated to a great meal and given goodie bags to bring home! This wonderful visit cum briefing was made a happy success by Lae Hoon Tan and Dorothy Teoh's careful and fast paced coordination. Thank you Lae Hoon and Dorothy!!!

This week, our students enjoyed another treat. Kuala Lumpur Kepong sponsored students and chaperoning teachers to watch a play at KL PAC. Each ticket cost RM 125/- each! Wow! All in all for two nights 37 students and teachers enjoyed this treat. We truly appreciate this!

The girls will also be taken on an educational visit to an oil palm plantation and plant owned by the sponsor KLK in the months to come. The school and I look forward to the positive impact that PACE will have on SMK Convent Sentul Form 1 students.
