Right after recess, all students and teachers gathered in the school hall to witness the launching ceremony of Malaysia's 62nd independence.
After a short speech delivered by Mr. Jesi, the school's headmaster, the students were given a flag for them to wave along as they sang patriotic songs. It was altogether an uplifting atmosphere as we truly celebrated the gift of independence and what our forefathers had accomplished.
During the month of independence, there will be various activities lined up for the students. Among them are colouring competition, history quiz, traditional and patriotic outfit competition as well as 'the most patriotic classroom' competition.
