27th APRIL 2019 ~ Another competition was held for English at district level. SMK IJ Convent hosted the Poetry Recitation Competition for this year and 21 school took part this time.
There were two sections for this competition - the prepared poem where contestant had to recite a 5-minute poem, and the impromptu session where the students were given the theme on the spot, and they had to prepare the poem in 20 minutes and then recite it on stage.

While waiting for the results, the Convent Choir sang two songs during the intermission: "Heal the World" and "You Raise Me Up" and they sang them beautifully.
The Convent girls emerged as the winners. Unfortunately for my boys, they did not get into the top five places even though the audience seemed to enjoy their recitation and gave them loud applause after both performances. Guess being popular would influence the judges' verdict. I was anyway glad that my students had done well for the competition and they had worked really hard and I still have to congratulate them. Maybe we should try again next time.
