STPRI Celebrates National Day
By Zasika Musdi

Bandar Seri Begawan - Sekolah Tinggi Perempuan Raja Isteri yesterday held a celebration to mark the 24th National Day.

Present as the guest of honour was Pg Hj Zahari bin Pg Hj Ahmad, the principal of Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien College. According to STPRI's acting principal, Cikgu Hjh Nuramalina bte Mohd Ariff, yesterday's event would "open the curtains" to more healthy collaborative activities between STPRI and SOASC.

Touching on the National Day's theme `Tunas Bangsa' or `Brunei's Youth', she said that the students, as the youth of the nation, are being educated towards the strengthening of the nation.

Without a doubt, the entity that plays a big part in their education is the teachers where the two share a symbiotic bond that cannot be separated.

This, in turn, will borne a generation of hope, with the ability to think on their feet and compete in the aggressive era of globalisation.

Many activities were lined up making the day more joyous such as stage performances done by both schools including singing Berkibar Bendera Kita' by STPRI's choir, traditional dancing of `Joget Seri Kenangan' and 'Joget Kapal Belayar' as well as drama performances.

Apart from stage performances, mental stimulating games to test students' creativity were also organised like inventing bookmarks, posters and quizzes.

Some 700 participants have taken part since early February and the winners were presented with their prizes yesterday.

The event was organised by the school's Geography and Economics department. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
