At our annual Wesley Games this year, we participated in Basketball, Futsal & Table Tennis. This time round our teams showed good improvement in their

performance. Congratulations

to our Basketball and Table Tennis teams for winning second placing. Our thanks goes to WMS Klang for organising this event.

“Happy Teachers’ Day! That was the first greeting the teachers received when they arrived in school that morning. It was the first time after so long we celebrated this appreciation day on its actual date.

The celebration was held in the hall. The MOE Minister’s Speech was read out, teachers took their oath and sang the teacher’s day song and students rendered a few items. After the gift exchange, cake-cutting and photo-taking, the teachers challenged the students in several indoor games.

Runners-up for

Basketball

The celebration concluded with a lunch treat from the school provided by our canteen caterer.

Teachers’ Day is indeed a great way to appreciate our teachers.

Thank you, Teachers!
