forums.
“We were optimistic and
always supported him when he took the 10 subjects for the
‘O’ Level Examination,” the Principal stated.

success was to keep focussed on their studies and preserve the
importance of time management.

activity such as smoking, drugs and love at high school, could
distract a student’s focus on their studies.

and revision at home is essential for success.

Exchange Programme for Japan and Asean.

Competition for the year 2002.
He was also the runner-up for
the Explore Math Competition 2002. Apart from soccer as a hobby,
he spends his free time learning more about Cosmology, Astronomy
and the Japanese Language.
Delighted with his success, Lim
thanked his family especially his father for his continuous
support.
He thanked the college
administration, teachers especially Cikgu Saadiah the ex-deputy
principal and Mr. Lam for their valuable advise.
He urged his fellow students to
strive towards excellent at what they are good at, to have
patience and never give up.
