It was great to see the Al ΎήΘιΚΣΖ΅ community come together to celebrate the studentsβ learning and achievement in Art & Technology. The carnival-like atmosphere added vibrancy and excitement to the day.
On behalf of the Art & Technology Department, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all staff who played a role in contributing to the success of the exhibition. A big thank you to all parents, students and members of community for turning out in full force and participating actively in all the activities:
I would also like to take this opportunity to our dedicated parents Ms Jamila Nur for volunteering to mend the first aid station and also Mr Mirza Ceyzar for tirelessly supporting the Art & Technology Department.
Some staff actually went above and beyond their allocated time and I am deeply appreciative of this. There are too many people to acknowledge and I apologise that I cannot thank each and everyone personally.
Moving forward, I am sure that you would have identified ways in which the exhibition can be improved or even re-affirm the activities that went really well. With the event still fresh in our mind, the Art & Technology Department seeks your help to assist us in our future planning by filling up a survey.
Once again, a BIG thank you to everyone.
