KOLEJ T6 HAJI ZAINUL ABIDIN

This morning saw the weather in the most compromising mood. It was just nice for a warm retirement ceremony for our beloved teacher who retired after having served for 22 years in the school. It was most commendable of the school to give a befitting farewell assembly for her and every one played their part to make this special assembly a memorable one for Madam Lim Lay Yong. The school wishes to thank her for her dedicated and selfless service to the school and having survived for 22 years in the same school is a feat that is hard to defeat and achieve. To madam Lim we wish you a happy retirement and the school is always open for you to drop by anytime. May you be well and happy always. Photos showing the memorable and laudable event.
