PROJECT TITLE: MERDEKA WALK
PROJECT SYNOPSIS:
This coming Merdeka every part of our school is heavily decorated with flags and merdeka logos.
Previously, we have Chemistry Walk and Physics Walk decorated with formulas and scientific informations along school’s laboratory corridors.
Physics Walk SMTJB
Chemistry Walk SMTJB
We found that it is more meaningful if we decorate the reading corner in our school with historical displays to add more spice to the event. Since the reading corner is a walking path for students and teachers, we simply name it the “Merdeka Walk”. The “Merdeka Walk” will cater historical information on Malaysia’s five decades of independence, Malaysia’s successes, history of our own school and other history related materials.
With the upgrading of the reading corner, we hope that the students will spend most of their time here, reading the history materials and improve their history knowledge. Apart from that, Merdeka Walk will also be an outlet of expressions of members of the community on patriotism and unity. We are proud to be Malaysian! Malaysiaku Gemilang!
