Cross Country 2015: Spirit of Service

We had our annual cross country themed "Spirit of Service" on the 28th of February. The event was held at Taman Tasik Permaisuri, Cheras from 7.30 AM - 11.30 AM. However, the event ended early as the participants took less time than expected to finish the course even though it was longer and harder. The event was kicked off with an opening prayer by Mr. Daniel Gan followed by a speech by our beloved principal, Madam Chia Loy Tian. After her speech, Interactors Chan Wai Hao and Joseph Lim led the participants in morning exercise.






After the morning exercise, the participants were flagged off with lower sec girls being the first followed by lower sec boys then upper sec girls, upper sec boys and lastly parents, teachers and ex-students. Each group was flagged off in 5 minute intervals.







After all the participants completed the course, the prize giving ceremony was held. Prizes given out this year include handphones, watches, polaroid cameras and many other goodies. Following the prize giving ceremony, Rotarian President Elect, Mr Hardeep Singh gave his speech and it was followed by a speech by Community Service Director, Int. Bryan Bin.

The money we raised for the event was generously donated by students, teachers and companies. We would also like to thank our generous sponsors Zalora, Redtone, Paradigm Mall, Visa, Dutch Lady, LT Lim & Associates, NoteWorthie, Partnership, TAGO, Areca Capital, The Body Shop and Chimera. Proceeds from the event will be donated to various charities.

All the participants had loads of fun running the long course and were rewarded with kuihs and chocolate milk sponsored by Dutch Lady which were given out at the gathering point. After that, body soaps sponsored by The Body Shop were given out to the participants. Everyone including teachers, students, ex-students and Interactors enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
