Teachers' Day Celebration

From the school's website...

Teachers' Day

In conjunction with the national theme “Guru Penjana Transformasi Pendidikan Negara”, Catholic High School celebrated Teacher’s Day on 24 June 2011 (Friday) while at school-level, the theme was “STARS”. The students showed their appreciation to the teachers by showering them with gifts and words of thanks. To make the occasion more memorable, there were performances such as lion dance, modern dance, singing and cheerleading. The teachers also contributed to the fun by presenting their own “1 Malaysia” dances and participating in games. The day ended with a sumptuous lunch sponsored by the PIBG for the teachers in the school hall.

June 24th is Friday, and its a date that was by chosen our principal to celebrate Teachers' day as on the original day of Teachers' Day our school were having our second term exam. Everyone including afternoon session students need to come to school as early as 7.20a.m. that day. Oh well, it's a special occasion to thank our teachers though and I just have tolerate with my sleepiness.

Afternoon session students need to gather at the sports centre and the sun's shining toward it so we need to like... sunburn, especially those who sat further at the back. I almost forgotten to take attendance for my class and end up my teacher scolded me -_-. After that, we marched to our assembly site.

As we were "newcomers", we get to sit at the "best" place to witness the whole celebration. The assembly site were decorated with colourful stars in a string, hanging from the Science lab to Block A as the theme of this Teachers' Day at school level was "STARS". There were many though, as like "they were stars during the day."

First, the band were playing some nice background music, or more to say, some soothing music while we, students went to the assembly site. Then, when all the students were at their place, settled down, the celebration finally started.

Teachers, headmistresses, VIPs all appeared according to their months of birth. Interesting! The teachers settled down with the cheers and claps of students around.

The lion dance was first, as expected. The lion came out from the school compound I should say. It kinda surprised me. -_-

#1 The golden lions appeared! What a merry sight!

They crawled around, following the beats and the rhythm of the drums, cymbals and the gongs. They went to where the teachers are sitting, literally. It danced around~

When it was over....

THE LION HEAD & TAIL APPEARED TO BE PLAYED BY TWO TEACHERS!

#2 Two lion heads... Played by 4 morning session teachers!

Everyone cheered and clapped. Including me. Great performance.

Now, the true lion dance started. The lion is white in colour. :P

Its performance is to jump to the highest pillar. There were around 10 pillars, from the shortest to the highest pillar. And too, they succeeded. >_< They are not allowed to fail.

#3 The white lion on its way to the highest pillar! Played by two students. Good job!

Later were the speeches by our principal and honored guests. And all teachers stood up to sing the theme song of this year Teachers' day. Leaded by two teachers. I guess I got all the sequence of programmes messed up.

And, the most important, the opening ceremony! Its kinda like, well, cut a big cake together with the guests and principal and teachers, and let go a flock of birds that were trapped in a small house. LOL.

#4 Cutting the cake.... Smilesmile :)

#5 Setting the white birds free!

There were modern dance by the librarians. Then, a group of students sang some songs to the teachers. AND, THE MOST EXCITING PART IS THE 1 MALAYSIA DANCE PERFORMED BY OUR BELOVED TEACHERS.

I guess that's all. The celebration ended successfully.

AND, WE'RE FREE TO WANDER ANYWHERE...

Oh, I've almost forgotten. There were the cheerleading club "CALYX" performance. That's when everyone burst out laughing. You see, when they're hoping up and down, they're holding some kind of board with alphabets stuck on it. They've got all the sequence all wrong! It goes "C Teachers H Rocks" and other funny words.

The canteen was bursting out because the morning session + afternoon session students were there. But I just quickly grab a bread and started munching at a corner. Its a chaos~!

We're only allowed to go home at 11.30a.m. so we have many free time. I went to sports centre and the past winners of CHS Idol were singing there. Sat down with Angelina and started listening to kill time.

Its quite a nice day. But din't get to see teachers telematch-ing. ♥

And also, its the day I've borrowed 梦想青年旅舍 by 邓秀茵 from Angelina.
