Over 50 schools were represented, with students from their respective English Clubs and teachers, and 10 Project English Teachers, most of whom were directly involved in leading activities. The first evening saw an ice-breaker session, and fable writing activity, led by John Harris. The camp was opened by En Abd Ghafar, Principal Asst Director of Residential Schools, attended by Che Sazlina, and Aidi, principals of some of the participating schools, and Chris Bell. The occasion was impressive, with an excellent choir from MCKK setting the tone with their inspiring rendition of “I Can Fly” Vance and Fergus, the dynamic duo, facilitated the morning activities, which centered around a tongue twister competition, in tents scattered around the rugby field. The “You are onn the Air!” activity unfortunately didn’t materialize, due to a technical hitch. Dinner for CfBT staff was off campus, allowing for a wider selection of refreshment, followed by the ubiquitous (do they ever sleep?) late session, a 10pm Diamante activity, led by Kristof. Despite the late hour, the students seemed to have no shortage of superlatives, ably assisted by Vance, sporting his favourite shirt. Sunday morning saw the Discovery Trail, for which Kuala Kangsar was eminently suitable; a jewel of a place. A well-organised, fun weekend for everyone. Thanks to all PETs who attended, participated, and worked hard to make it a success.
Next year may see a “real” camp, off campus, with the promise of GPS orienteering. Something to look forward to, indeed. For more photos, click here.
