New Colours, new school term and a new season!

Pretty in pink!. These are the terms I would use to describe the new colours of SMK Convent Sentul. And it is really great timing that these new colours have come in, just in time for our new school term. Convent Sentul, we have been adorned with new colours for a new school term and a new season in life! Praise God for a new season and new colours!

We actually tried very hard to secure sponsors for the painting of the main front façade earlier but somehow despite this project being one of our primary priorities, our efforts just didn’t gel. But we didn’t give up on our dream and persevere on. We held on to our dream of wanting the school to be beautiful and to create a conducive environment for you all to study in. Through the concerted efforts of Mr. Jason who also had earlier sponsored the painters’ salaries of the school hall, we finally managed to contact three companies who responded to our appeals for change.

These three companies rose to the occasion and rescued SMK Convent Sentul from the drudgery and the drabness of the old and if I may add, the peeling paint of the old façade. By their kind sponsorship, they gave us a fresh new beginning by giving us a fresh new look. Thank you so very much!











Our kind sponsors are Pembenaan Leow Tuck Chui & Sons Sdn Bhd. from Jalan Pahang, Sin Seong Hin Sdn Bhd and First City Construction & Trading Sdn Bhd, both from nearby Bandar Menjalara. Once again to all three companies involved, on behalf of the whole school, I wish to express our grateful thanks to you for helping us make the transition from the old to the new by your timely sponsorship.


We also want to thank Mr Robert Lim for giving us a big discount off the price for the painting and for painting more areas than we actually paid for. He coordinated his painters to work overtime on many days, often till 10 pm.




It is only because these companies and their staff were willing to respond quickly and immediately that the bulk of the painting project could be completed before the new school term begins. Painting of the exterior is definitely more complicated. The walls had to be jet sprayed to remove the peeling layers of paint and clean them. A white base coat of paint had to be applied. We had some challenging weather this week and we had to ensure the base coat was dry before applying the colourworks. The painters used long ladders, scaffolding and all sorts of technology and gadgets.



Girls and staff, we must also learn from the example of these fine people to work quickly, promptly, innovatively so that we can meet deadlines. Respond immediately and work overtime if necessary to meet set deadlines. Procrastination is not good. Get rid of the esok, lusa mentality!!! Just in case we forget what the walls used to look like; you need to compare the old and the new so that you appreciate the new.

To fully embrace the new season for the school and for yourself, you need to work HARD just like all the examples named above. Some of you need to jet spray off some long accumulated debris and bad habits in your heart and mind. Others may need to apply a fresh base coat.

Let the change of colours in the school usher you too, through a change of season in your heart and your mind. It is pretty awesome to me that the upgrading works especially the timing has been orchestrated by God so that you will have new colours in school for a new season in life and for a new school term.


So..... respond and change and walk into a brand new season of your life!
