The School Did Well

I received an sms from the Principal of SMK Sri Permata yesterday telling me that they managed to collect more than RM100k in the recently conducted Jogathon. That's good, real good. Their target was RM60k. Everybody worked hard, the teachers, students, PIBG, in fact, everybody. The Principal, Mr Ong and Mr Heng, the Chairman of the Jogathon Committee worked real hard in this. The teachers were also very motivated to see the success of this event.

In the end, the results did not come as a surprise. It just shows that if we want something badly, we can achieve it. My only wish is that the Education department would be a bit more flexible with their rulings on collection of funds. We could have performed much better if we were given a bit more leeway in asking the students to do more. After all, these are 16 and 17 year olds who are very mature and full of ideas.

With this success, we hope to see the roof to cover the assembly area become a reality after the SPM exams later in the year. It is definitely long overdue.

Syabas SMK Sri Permata
