Co-curriculum Day 2009

It was Co-Curriculum day on July 10th 2009. It was a really grand day. This was my first experience witnessing such an event. It was held in the school compound on a school day but there was no lesson carried out.

Every students attended school in their co-curricular unit's uniforms. In SMK Mengkuang, there are 6 uniform units or teams; the Red-Crescent, the Scout, the KRS ('Kadet Remaja Sekolah' or if translated, I guess it is called the Youth's School Cadet), the Girl Guides, the Fire-Fighter Cadet and the 'Puteri Islam' (mmm.. not sure how to translate this).

This is an annual event. This is the time when all the units took part in various mentally and physically challenging activities and competed to score the highest point. And of course the ones with the highest points will be the winner.

Some of the activities and competitions (if I could still recall) were the March Pass, Survival race, Gadget making, Handicrafting and Cooking competition. There were also Taekwondo and Malay Martial Arts (called Silat) demonstration that made us all watched in awe.

Had a nice cool drink.

It was hot and humid but still, there were also yummy food and drinks sold. I totally enjoyed myself. I got to meet many new friends other than the 5 Ibnu Sina students. The students here were really nice and hospitable. They made me feel like I'm part of the students here in SMK Mengkuang.

Eventhough they are randomly arranged, I hope you enjoy looking at some of the many photos taken during the events.
