3. In the news: Journalism Camp by Berita Harian
   During the March Holidays, our school participated in a 2-days journalism camp organized by the Malay newspaper, Berita Harian (BH). We sent in a total of 2 teams consisting of 6 Secondary 2 & 3 students. It was an enriching experience for the students as they learn various techniques of journalism writing, interesting creative design as well as valuable photography tips. Our article was published in BH on 22 March 2017 as Miss Nadia Bte Lamri was once a camp participant during her secondary school days. Her team managed to clinch the first prize in year 2007, exactly 10 years ago.
   
   Although we did not clinch the top 3 position, our student, Nur Aisyah Amirah Bte Muhammad Akasah from 3E2 won the Best Stand-Upper in the Videography group assignment. Her article was published in the GenG newspaper, a subsidiary newspaper of BH for secondary school students.
