Prefects also took part in a workshop jointly organised with the Peer Group Club at ATI recently. They learnt through various team building games. It was a day of fun and knowledge enrichment.

Perhaps they took to the saying of "THE MORE YOU LEARN YOU MORE YOU EARN"

Prefects of the school took part actively during the recent. Some were involved in the inspection of the guard-or-honour while many were in the choir leading the singing of the national and state anthem.

The prefects did the work assigned to them well. Kudos to all the prefects involved and also the teachers advisor.

Members of the Health Club recently learnt the art of making facial mask under the guidance of their teacher advisor Madam Choo. They had a great time not becauseof the mask but also fun in actually "wearing" one.

The best thing is that the facial mask is not the one in the market but made from vegetables like cucumber and other edible foodstuff.

Who say clubs are boring. That is food for thought!
