Energy Fun Day
To welcome the Energy Club Junior members, the E-Club AJK & Supervisor, Ms Raimie organized an Energy Fun Day on the 27th of March at Berakas Forest Reserve. It is very much like an initiation for the juniors to get to know the club more as well as its members.
A bus took participants of the event from school to the Berakas Forest Reserve. They were divided into five coloured teams: Tanah (brown), LQC (white), Super E (blue), Hybrid (red) & Violet (purple) while the AJKs were the “green team”. All teams had bands on their wrists to indicate their teams.
The event started with a short briefing from the AJKs followed by a trekking trip around the reserve. Everyone even got the chance to see the newly-built Eco park, although it has not been publicly opened yet. Shortly after trekking and a short break, the games started. Games include an obstacle race, Energy quizzes, puzzle hunt, sand art, etc.
Points were given to completed tasks and will be added up to their scores at the end. Overall, the Hybrid/Red team won. Followed by Super E and Violet.
A big round of applause to all the teams involved!Thank you for participating!
Educational Trip To Turtle Farm
On the 22nd March 2010, all of the Upper Sixth GP students were given an educational trip to the turtle farm located in Serasa during March holidays
The aim was to see the preservation of turtles from extinction due to being captured by smugglers or eaten by predators. Or getting poisoned due to the water pollution.
Firstly, they were greeted with an opening speech and give a talk by the one of the officers of Marine culture (or “Mariculture”) or in Malay, “Pegawai Perikanan Laut”. The students were also shown a video about the background information of turtles and the history of the said Turtle farm.
After all of that, the students were given an opportunity to take pictures with the turtles kept in captivity around the farm and to be able to touch the turtles as well. Even though some turtles struggled as they didn’t want to be touched (and there were incidents when the turtles did bite some), this did not stop students from wanting to take pictures with the turtles.
A group photo was taken with all the students, the supervisors and the officers of the Turtle Farm.The students had fun as they’ve even given nicknames to the turtles such as “Terry” etc. and they wanted to stay longer to play with the turtles.
Sociology Week 2010
Sociology week was a charity event held by the sociology students and organized of course, by the generous and warm-hearted sociology teachers :)
It was held for four days during the last days of term one, which is on the 15th - 18th March.
The sociology students were divided into several committees such as food, games, car wash, movie and also charity collection. All the profit goes to the charity organization 'sound of hope'.
On the 15th, the sociology students were given a talk by the people from 'Sounds Of Hope'. To be honest, we were shocked when we were told that there are minorities of us Bruneians that are living in poverty. It was heart breaking to see some of them living in a container or under the tree. We're just glad that the sociology department is giving us the opportunity to help those in need.
The charity event as a whole was a success. Lets just say we earned quite a lot. THANKS to all the students and teachers who contributed :)
