BRING IT ON! SMSA CLUB 30-50'S WILL BE READY FOR TIMELY TOURNAMENT

Cikgu Fadillah wearing the USA jersey. You may not want to play long ball against this man cos he always wins it. He is also solid at the back.


Cikgu Zakwan, a new member to our futsal club. He always "excites" the game.











Guess who this player is. He is none other than Cikgu Sharman.







Cikgu Redzuan is our playmaker. He is a good passer of the ball.



Cikgu Alex is the most agile player. As a defender, you do not want to mess around with him.











Cikgu Zamirul dubbed as Mr Jack is also one of our most creative players.



Mr Ayaz is a versatile and complete player. You ask him to be in whatever position and he will do a good job for you. He can defend, he can play in midfield with many twists and turns and of course he does score many goals.


And here comes our most veteran, skillful, experience and evergreen player, Cikgu Pg Tani. He sets a good example to the other so-called "old teachers" in SMSA. Being old doesn't mean that you will always say no to sports.






Even Mr Roslan, the school's security, is enjoying the game.



Mr Kevin is probably our strongest and most solid player.







Arifin is our student who always plays against us. He is deemed as the most complete player!



I told you, he's a good passer of the ball!



And here again is the mercurial Sharman. He doesn't need to strike the ball hard, cos he knows well where to place the ball into the net. He is probably the top scorer from the local teachers.


REMOVAL OF FENCE MAY BE A GOOD THING TO DO


My colleagues and i have pondered on removing this fence for a long time. It is such a hassle for us because every time we arrive at school we have to 'climb over' this fence so that we can continue on walking to our staffrooms. There is just no other path to take except for this one. Nonetheless, we could have walked all the way pass the surau and then the cleaner's room to get to the admin block to sign in but this is also troublesome as we have to carry our laptop bags and other stuffs with us before we can enter our respective staffrooms. So what most teachers commonly do such as Cikgu Nyiau, Cikgu Puasa, Cikgu Kim and many others, is that they walk to their staffrooms to put their bags first before they go to the admin block to sign in.

Suppose that this fence were removed, teachers whose staffrooms are close to this particular parking area will surely use this path such as those in the pre-u discipline room, computer labs, art staffroom and all other staffrooms except for those who are stationed in the admin block and in the career department. Hopefully, this can also be the solution to those who relentlessly park their cars in the school restricted zones. Occasionally, a number of teachers can be seen park their cars in these restricted zones purely and simply because they do not want to walk for a longer distance, albeit that there are many other parking lots available.

Rumour has it that Rimba Secondary School and Sayyidina Hassan Secondary School have removed this similar fence to exhort teachers to park their cars near to this area. Bear in mind, that these schools have the same plans as our school. So in terms of paperwork, hopefully it is not difficult to get permission.

In addition to this, a SMSA teacher who wants to remain anonymous wishes to assist the school, if permitted, to remove this fence. The school does not need to worry about fee or payment as he will do this free of charge. He insists that he wants to do charity work by contributing to the smsa community.

So all ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about the idea of removing this fence? Do you think that you'll park your car here when this fence is removed?

Need your comments,

From tired walker...




This is the fence that we propose to be removed.


"Climbing over" this fence can be quite laborious.





It could have been a just another path if that fence was not there.





This area can easily accommodate at least 20 cars.

SMSA SHOOTS FOR GLORY

The smsa photography club was first established early this year and is considered as one of the fast growing clubs in smsa. Members of the club range from students of the secondary up to the pre-u level. Orchestrated by 2 most experienced smsa teachers in photography, it is hoped that the club will continue to florish in the upcoming years and produce students with the right technical and practical skills in photography.

One of the major accomplishments of smsa photography club was its involvement in the "SUMBANGSIH BELIA DAN SUKAN PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION" whereby one of its members managed to grab the 5th place and other members also managed to have their pictures singled out as "well-shot pictures" (see posted pics in september).

As part of the club initiatives, the club has now launched an unprecedented smsa photography competition which is called as the "ANNUAL END OF YEAR SMSA PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION". The club is optimistic that this competition will receive good responses from the students particularly those who really want to grab some really interesting prizes and to put the learned theories into practice.
