MS ENVIRONMENTAL CLUB
@ 4:55 AM
If you're a student of Maktab Sains, a teacher, a parent whose child attends MS, or someone who has visited the college in the last couple of weeks, you most probably would have seen posters stuck on walls, boards and whatnot.
Posters like the ones shown above were made and designed by members of the MS Environmental Club.
A few weeks ago, a 'Fundraising and Awareness week' was held in the college. In addition, students and teachers were encouraged to bring along their own cutlery if they wished to buy food from the school cafeteria in hopes of reducing the use of plastic. Students of the Energy Club, Environmental Club, the V club, the entrepreneur as well as teachers also set up stalls in the canteen selling different varieties of food and plants.
The profit made during the fundraising and awareness week will be use to buy recycle bins for the school.
Students are also welcomed to donate cups and plates for rental on Thursdays.
MSPSBS FIELD TRIP TO MINISTRY OF FINANCE
Monday, April 26, 2010 @ 9:09 PM
On Monday, 26 April, an educational excursion supervised by Cikgu Rodziah and Sir James was arranged for Economics and POA students of MA4 and Year 9 to the Ministry of Finance. The objective of this trip was to enlighten students about the Brunei Currency and Monetary Board.
Students full of excitement gathered at the concourse of the school at 1.30 PM. Divided into 3 groups, they headed to their respective buses and made their way to the ministry. Upon arriving at the ministry, students snapped away with their cameras, admiring the modern construction of the building. After that, they were led to a building connected to the Ministry to view and tour BCMB.
After an educational tour of BCMB, students were brought to a theatre to watch a slideshow on the Brunei Currency and Monetary Board. The speaker touched base on several topics such as the vision and mission of the Ministry of Finance, how they deal with counterfeit notes and coins and the interchangeability agreement between Brunei and Singapore followed by a question and answer session.
Students were then served refreshments and had the opportunity to speak face-to-face with the speaker and asked him more questions that were unanswered at the Q&A session. After taking a group photo, students were taken back to school after not only a learning experience but also a fun one at the Ministry of Finance.
