Upcoming Gathering of Young Minds Programme in Penang

On the 11th of November, 2011 (11/11/11), which is no doubt a date with aesthetic value and auspicious meanings, five of our members would be departing from the lovely state of Selangor for the equally lovely state of Penang, to partake in an programme known as the 'Gathering of Young Minds' programme, which would be held in SMK (P) St. George from the 11th to the 13th of November.

They would be taking a bus to their destination, and are scheduled to arrive at Penang in the afternoon. We would then be given a tea break at 4.30pm, before being given some time to pray (for the Muslims) at 5.30pm. At 6.30pm, they would be having dinner, and at 7 pm, all Muslims would once again be given some time to pray. At 8pm, the ice-breaking session and opening ceremony would commence, before it ends at 10pm. The days ends with them being served supper at 10.30pm.

On the second day, they are scheduled to rise and shine at 5.30am in the morning. Breakfast would be served at 6.30am, and at 7.30am, a fitness exercise would commence. They would be given a short break at 8.30am, and the poster presentation competition would begin at 9 am. After a short break at 10.30 am, the day would continue with a 'Best Practices Presentation Competition' at 11am until 1pm. It is a competition that is participated by six selected High-Performance Schools. At 2pm, after they've had our lunch, they would embark upon a 4-hour 'Heritage Tour' around Penang. They would then be given one hour from 7pm to pray and freshen up, before attending the 'Konsert Simfoni Perdana', which ends at 10pm. Like the day prior, supper would be served at 10.30pm, and then the time would come for them to call it a day.

On their third and final day, their schedule in the morning is more or less the same as the previous day, except for the fact that their fitness session ends half an hour later. They would then be given a break, and at 10 am, the closing ceremony would commence, ending at 11.30 am. Lunch would then be served for an hour, and they are scheduled to leave SMK (P) St. George at 1 pm.

It most certainly sounds as though our representatives have much to look forward to!
