Chung Hua Middle School KB Camps Out
By Hanni ABD

Bandar Seri Begawan - The Chung Hua Middle School Parents Teachers Association (PTA) recently organised a life skills competition camp for primary six students and on-the-job leadership training for students from secondary three.

The camp was enthusiastically participated by some 60 students and run by some 20 parents and teachers from Chung Hua Middle School in Kuala Belait.

The OGDC team led by Mr Albert Cheng conducted scientific activities on the water rocket and the spaghetti bridge, both of which were very stimulating.

Some 18 students from secondary three were given first-hand leadership training during the camp to lead, guide and ensure that activities and discipline were co-ordinated.

The campers learnt to build a campfire and enjoyed an evening of BBQ, including trying their skills at pancake-making. The beach treasure hunt following the early morning exercise to Taman Jubilee was a fruitful one as campers later had a chance to discover their hidden talents.

Activities to impart life skills to the primary six pupils included sewing, ironing, first-aid, memory-enhancement, creative art, knotting and neckties. The camp master, who is also the first Deputy Chairman of the PTA, Mr Terry Jayasuriya, stressed the importance of the lifelong development of skills in a conducive learning atmosphere through the learning-by-doing methodology.

The campers were divided into seven groups and each activity was assessed accordingly to a set of criteria to impart healthy competitive skills amongst the groups. Group H finally emerged the winning team. The Principal, Ms Hong Geok Cheng in her closing address, thanked the parents, teachers and students for making the camp a success and urged the participants to immediately put into practice the multiple skills acquired. The PTA aspires to supplement the co-curriculum and continues to provide wholesome activities for the betterment of the school. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
