A visit from Bandung on the 6th of May




On the 6th of May, a beautiful Thursday, a group of 12 students and around 10 parents and teacher's  from Bandung, Indonesia visited our school. The aim of their visit was to learn more about our school's educational  system and the co-curricular activities held in our school. A few members of the Toyota Eco Rangers Club were asked to show them every environmental project and activity we hold in the school

The students and teachers from bandung arrived at 9 am and they were seated in the school hall. The event began with a welcoming speech and introduction about the school by Pn. Alainal Hasani. She explained the school educational system. After that, Husnul, our head prefect, gave a short video presentation which portrayed every single gleaming facet of our school, from the facilities available to the way our teachers conduct classes. Finally, Farhanah, as the president of the Toyota Eco Rangers Club presented the eco projects held in our school to everyone present. They were impressed by how our school was doing our very best to contribute to the betterment of the environment. 

The event continued with a short speech by their student and teacher representative. They also performed a traditional indonesian dance for us. Refreshments were then served and the students were entertained with the "I have A Dream Musical" which was played on the projector. We then took them around the school to show them the various environmental projects in school. The compost team demonstrated the Sri Aman composter to them. Syafiqah and Elsa showcased the Ember Window Cleaner, our very own eco-friendly alternative to the harmful industrial varieties of window cleaners commonly used. 

They were also shown the solar panels and the rain water harvesting tanks in school. They were very impressed with the sprinkler system of our herbs garden and they praised us for maintaining the herbs garden well. After the short tour around school, it was time for them to leave. All of us exchaged our contact details and they boarded the bus. It was a great experience for all of us and we sure had a great time! As members of the Toyota Eco Rangers Club, we are proud to have shared our knowledge on saving the environment with these visitors from Bandung, and we sincerely hope that they, in turn, would take that knowledge and share it with as many people as possible.
