Report on the International Understanding Day of the Interact Club of SMK Assunta

On the 7th of July from 10.30am to 12.30pm, the Interact Club of SMK Assunta held their International Understanding Day in the school gallery. With their theme of Gateway To Headway, their goal was to raise funds, RM20, 000 to build a school library in Bati, Cambodia. They even overshot their target and raised even more to furnish 1/3 of the library. They sold chances, merchandise and collected change for change to raise these funds. The Leos were more than happy to support their sister Interact Club for such a great cause.
The event commenced with the arrival of VIPs and the opening act which consisted of a traditional Cambodian performance done by the interactors. It then continued with the singing of the national anthem, roll calls and speeches. Many inspiring videos were shown and even a speech was given by the representative from World Vision. To end the event, there were cultural dances and even a musical performance by our very own assunta home grown talent.
After the IU, a carnival was held in the school field. We wish the Interact Club good luck on their future projects and may they bring more fruitful changes to the world we live in.

Report on Farewell BBQ Party

On Sunday, 8 July 2012, the incoming Board of Directors for the LEO club of SMK Assunta for the fiscal year 2012/2013, organised a farewell party for the Form 5 Leos. The event was held in Section 8, Petaling Jaya at the residence of Leo Hemalaxmi Nanthakumar, the incoming Vice President. The Leos started arriving at 4.15 p.m. A few Leos had arrived earlier to help set up the tables, chairs and prepare the things needed for the games that would be held. Each Leo was required to bring food and/or beverages as it was a potluck. The hungry Leos started eating at once! At around 5.45pm, the Leos were asked to form a circle so that we could start playing the games that were planned. The first game required the Leos to each guess a number between 1 and 100, and, if she guessed one of the four predetermined numbers, a balloon filled with flour would be popped over her head.
For the next game, everyone was divided into 4 groups. One group at a time, each person had to run across the garden to retrieve a packet drink and run back. On the way to retrieve the packet drink, however, the runners would have water balloons thrown at them. The moment the person got wet, they were eliminated from the game. This game wasn’t entirely successful, though, because, the water balloons had run out very quickly and the Leos had to resort to using containers of water as well as water hoses to get the runners wet. In half an hour, almost everyone had forgotten the point of the game and everyone had a lot of fun running around and splashing water at their friends. It was a good thing that most of the Leos had brought a change of clothes! As soon as everyone had changed into their dry clothes, we started the gift exchange. All the Leos were told to bring a gift that cost RM10 or less. The gifts were put in the centre of our circle and Leo Azarelle started calling out our numbers. Whenever a Leo’s number was called out, she had the choice to either choose a present from the pile in the centre, or to ‘steal’ someone else’s
present. If someone’s present was stolen, they’d have to pick another present from the pile. After that, we started cleaning up, all the Leos chipped helped and before long, the area was tidy again. For the remainder of the night, the Leos had fun just sitting around, laughing with friends, eating more food, and altogether, having a lot of fun. At around 8.30pm, the exhausted Leos started going home. Many Leos stayed back to help finish the cleaning up and by 10.30pm all the Leos had left. All in all, the farewell party was very successful and fun-filled and all the Form 5 Leos had a lot of fun.

Report on Sales for Sports Day

On 29 June 2012, SMK Assunta had their Sports Day. The LEO Club of SMK Assunta decided to sell drinks with the price of RM 1.50 only. Early in the morning, with the help of few Leo’s, we had to carry a lot of drinks from Bilik Seni 3 to the side of Sister Enda hall. Some of them got ready the tables and set-up the stall. We sold drinks like 7Up, Pepsi, Soya milk, Revive, Winter Melon and many more drinks. It helped to keep the students refreshed during the sunny sports day!
We sold many types of drinks such as revive, mountain dew, pepsi and many more. We put all the drinks into the ice box filled with ice cubes to make the drinks cold. Then, Magdalene and Shern-Nese held up a piece of manila card that had written on it: “HELP TADIKA FATIMAH”. Later on, Puan Betty the teacher advisor of our LEO Club, told a few of us to sell the drinks under the Clare house tent. Kaarthigaa, Wong Jeyinn and I helped teacher there. At first the sale was not really good but, as time passed many students bought from us. When the sale was going good, we were out of coins to give change to the students. We tried our level best to solve the problem and we did.
We manage to sell all the drinks by the end of the day. At about 11.30 pm we had to clean our spot. We actually reached our target. Even though all of us were tired, but we really enjoyed the day with everyone. The LEO’s of SMK Assunta wish to thank all the students for supporting us on that day.

Report on Service For Melody

On the 18th of June 2012, about 20 Leos helped the Assunta Symphonic Band to arrange the chairs at the Gallery for the concert. The Leos arranged about 300 over chairs according to their colours.
On the 23rd of June 2012, Saturday, twenty Leos came to school at 12.30pm to help out for the concert; both matinee and night show. Eight Leos were under ushering. Two helping at Gate B, and another two Gate C to show the guests the direction to the Gallery. The other four Leos were helping at the Gallery to usher the guests to their respective seats. The remaining two usherers had to check the guests’ tickets before allowing them to go into the concert.
Four Leos were under ticketing. Some were tearing the tickets to make sure that a ticket is only valid for one person to enter and the remaining Leos were in charge of the booking list of the guests. On the other hand, five Leos were selling food and beverages at Dataran Assunta. The funds raised were to be given to Tadika Fatimah. There were two Leos in charge of security and lighting. One Leo was selling the merchandise which was badges, for the Assunta Symphonic Band. They helped to collect donations too. After the matinee show, Leos went back home.
At 6.30pm, Leos went back to school to help for the night concert too. Before the Leos started doing their job, all of them helped to put the doughnuts and curry puffs into plastic bags and then put them into boxes to sell later. During the night show, Sister Enda and Sister Leticia came to watch the show. They bought some badges and donated money for the Assunta Symphonic Band too. The crowd for the night show was quite big. Our ex- principal, Pn Hong and Pn Rita came too. As for the food and beverages sales, we managed to earn quite an amount of money during the night show. Everyone was tired, but they all had fun! Leos left the school at about 11.50 pm.

Report on Arranging Chairs for Band Concert

On the 19th of June 2012, many Form 3 Leo’s helped to arrange chairs in the “Assunta Gallery” for the Band Concert of SMK Assunta which was set for the 23rd of June. Our hall arrangement work started at about 9.15 am in the morning.
First we found out from the person in charge about the arrangement of chairs in the gallery. We started off with the VVIP chairs that are red colour. Next, the light brown colour chairs were for the VIP’s. Lastly, the chairs arranged for the rest of the audience. It was more than 300 chairs.
Some other Leos took charge of sweeping the floors and ensuring the audience area was clean. The Leos worked tirelessly to perfect the arrangement of the hall and left the gallery at 9.50 am because with the help of many Leo’s, we managed to finish early.
The second day, we only needed 5 Leo’s to help us out. We went to the gallery to arrange only a few more chairs. The band committee informed us of which chairs to arrange where. Considering it was only a few chairs, the work which started at 9.15 ended at 9.30 am.
