SCHOOL SPORTS DAY 2013

The Sports Day was held today after being postponed due to the bad air condition because of haze last week. Unfortunately, I was not there as I was involved in another programme (and I could not come last year too). Anyway, here are some pictures of the event.

(4) SPORTS HOUSE MARCH PAST

(5) UNIFORM UNIT MARCH PAST

(6) THE READING OF THE OATH

(7) STUDENTS' PERFORMANCE

(8) THE TRACK EVENT

(9) THE TEACHERS' EVENT

All in all, I find that there was a lot of improvement for Sports House Decoration Competition and Marching Competition where a lot of creativity and hard work had been put in order to win. I must make sure I can make it next year.

SPORTS DAY 2011, AT LAST

9th JULY - Finally, the Sports Day was here. In accordance with the Ministry's policies of "Sports for All" and "1Student 1Sports", the school sports day for every school in Malaysia MUST be held on the second half of the year. It was usually done as early as February or March before this. In a way, the enthusiasm and excitement were not at their maximum level and the event was done in such a simple manner. The head of the PTA was invited to officiate the closing ceremony so everything was not a grand event.

Nevertheless, it was a success. Everything was still colourful and everyone was having a great time. It was ended with a happy note. All's well that ends well.

The Kadet Bomba boys won the second place for the marching competition although I did not expect anything out of them. By the way, we had never won this category during Sports Day, not even once and we always blamed the judges for that. There were not enough people in the team in the first place as a few were involved in other events or performance. Congratulations to the team but you are all going to sit for a session of talk on the values of loyalty and commitment.

HOSTING THE ATHLETIC AND FIELD EVENT FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS

My school was playing host for the Athletic and Field Event for the special education students of Johor Bahru district. So it was a joyous occasion with many people flocking the field and the area surrounding it. However, we did not have enough parking space so some afternoon teachers had to park the car outside, until everything was over.







Congratulations to all the teachers and staff (and students too) who were involved in making this event a success. Hopefully they will choose other school next time.

Still the story of the sports day but this time the focus is on the Kadet Bomba marching teams. Too many photographs to be put in one posting. Congratulations to the boys team for securing the second place (at last) and congratulations to the girls team as well for the excellent performance. Just to remind everyone in the team, the practice will continue after the First Standardized Test.

People started arriving in school at 7:00 a.m. But this time there were not as many people as there were during the cross country event, which could be a blessing in disguise. After gathering all the afternoon session students and giving a short briefing, they moved to the school field.

There were a few final track events being held at for the day. Nevertheless, the excitement could be felt among the participants of the opening ceremony consisting of students of the sports houses and uniform units. There was a multitude of colours everywhere, from the uniforms to the designed costumes worn by the marching team members. The marching competition at times had overshadowed the running competition because everybody was looking forward to it. What more with the many hours spent by the uniform units to train, people were eager to see the result.

As there are about 2800 students population in my school and more students need to be given the opportunity to be involved in sports activities. Thus, we have six sports houses: red, blue, green, yellow, orange and purple. There are special names given to each house, like Pahlawan, Perwira, Pendekar etc., but people seem to remember the colours more than the names.

A few ex-students also came to school. The first group was the fourth formers who have moved to boarding school just recently. The other was a few girls from SPM batch 2005, three of them are still studying in UTM while Aliah is in Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences.

And this is Mr. Mustafa Kamal, an ex-teacher of SMKTUN. Now he is the Senior Assistant of the Students' Affair in SMK Gelang Patah. He was here to support her daughter (who is in the Kadet Bomba team) and to videotape the exciting moment. Hopefully I can get a copy of the recording so I can put the video in my blog.

The story will continue in Part 2...
