Annual General Meeting 2007

The AGM was held on 01 December 2007 at Conference Room of Mariner Hotel. Quorum was established and the AGM was started on time.

During the election for BOD of 2008, it was very interesting as many potential candidates were in the list. The most interesting was especially the election for President 2008, got 3 potential candidates. It is quite a tough decision to vote for either one as 3 of them were good and capable leaders.

Finally, JC Joyce Tan has been elected as the President of 2008. Many members voted for her because she was very good in interact with others especially new members and she got a very good convincing skills. JC Joyce was my VP this year, so becoming the President of 2008 should not be a difficult task for her.

VP 2008 goes to JC William Yap which was my Secretary for this year. He is very energetic and is one of the potential president for future. Secretary 2008 is JC Yolanda Ang, which was my Treasurer this year. Secretary plays an important role too in the LOM beside President. But for JC Yolanda as she worked in admin and secretariat fields so should not be a problem for her to take up this challenge.

JC Jerry Teo, my new member this year was been elected as the Treasurer of 2008. I am very proud of him for willing to take up this post as he was honestly told us that, he does not have any experience in it. But he willing to learn and take up the challenge. All the best to them.

Primary Inter-School Sudoku Competition

JCI Labuan had organised a primary inter-school Sudoku Competition on last Saturday (27 Oct 2007) at SRJK Chi Wen. There were 46 students from St Anne, Chi Wen and Chung Hwa participated on this competition. The students were divided into 2 groups, classroom 1 and 2. The competition started with the briefing of the Sudoku rules. This competition was dividend into 3 rounds. All the students need to complete the Sudoku question for each round under a specific time. 1st round is given 20 minutes, 2nd round is 30 minutes and 3rd round is given 40 minutes.

For the 1st round, there were 17 students scored full marks. Then for 1st and 2nd round also scoring full mark were about 10 students. 1st, 2nd and 3rd round scoring full mark only left 3 students, which is the Top 3. Then we were giving them another question which needs to be done in 5 minutes to see whether who is the champion.

This Top 3 student really smart enough as they really scoring 100% in all the 3 rounds. A big thumb up to them. It is quite fun and interesting to organised activities in school. We hope to organised it again on next year. Thanks to all the hard work committee. Well done!
