End of Term Easter Celebration & Japan Tsunami Fund Drive
Dear Readers,
Event: End of Term Celebration of Easter & Japan Tsunami Donation Drive
Date: 25 Mar 2011, Friday
Time: 16:30 - 20:00
We are pleased to share with all who have contributed to the Donation aid to Japan Tsunami, a total of over RM940 in cash was raised. All the funds will toward the worldvision.com.my. The donation drive was made successful by all the students, parents and friends who have come together for a common cause to raise aid for the victims of Japan Tsunami and Earthquake. Thank you all again. As part of recognising the great effort in raising the highest amount, we presented a prize to our student, Eu Jer. He has raised a total of RM120 by selling his tickets to his family and friends. Thank you all for contributing to the donation amounting to RM940.
Special mention was of Amanda, who is one of our junior students. She cameup with an idea to sell sweets as part of raising more donation. We supported her very own initiative immensely. The passion to help in one way or the other was tremendous and Honsbridge is proud to create a platform to drive the donation.
Along with the Donation aid drive, we have planned a series of activities to let the students' hair down on their last day of term. In Honsbridge, we believe in providing students various platforms to instil academic excellence and character development through effective lessons and extra curricular activities.
The students have participated in the Easter Egg Design Contest on the 24 Mar, there was much excitement from designing the Egg to the nomination of the Best Easter Egg design. Irshadi's design stood out amongst everyone's and he won. The students were then tasked with bringing along their material to participate in the Easter Egg Decoration Competition during the event. As teachers, we were thrilled to see the students' enthusiasm to do their best in they do aside from their academics.
Just before 16:30, all the colour markers, confetti, paint, paintbrush and not forgetting many hard boiled eggs as well as egg holder casing were put together. We could tell the students were really excited to put their designs to reality as they each got one egg and merry making has begun. One of the student, Aneesha has in fact prepared her own blown egg for decoration. As it was the first time that most students have ever made an easter egg, there was so much of laughter and fun. One of the students, Shawn even asked if he could eat the hard boiled egg instead of painting it.
The Easter Egg Decoration Competition proceeded as follows between 16:30 and 17:30:
1. Choose an egg
2. Cut out a suitable egg holder
3. Decorate the egg with available paint, markers and confetti and what have you
4. Have fun and be creative with decorating the egg holder
5 Nominate your favourite Easter egg
After the nomination of the Easter egg was over, there was much laughter and entertainment as we saw spontaneous student performances such as the Backstreet Boys , Comedian Dialogue and Mr Brian's Choir performance just to name a few. The performances was followed by the Student Awards presentations for their excellent academic achievements in the first term. They were Daniel Liew (Group 3), Isaac Thong (Group4), Danial Hakim (G5/6), Syafiq and Addison (J1) and Eu Jer who raised the most fund in the Tsunami Donation Drive. Last but the least, three Lucky Draw winners of the Tsunamis Donation Drive were also drawn in appreciation of the support. The eventful evening finally came to an end as we tucked into the catered dinner in celebration of a successful new term.
Honsbridge takes pride to provide all students a platform to excel in their Cambridge O Level tuition program along with active participation in extra curricular activities. Thank you all for the support and see us in action soon again!
