Hari Kecemerlangan Sekolah Berasrama Penuh is ahead. OSEM is in no time wasting the opportunity to drill in some final push and advices for the kiddos before they take the stage.
This year, the HKSBP will be done differently. Instead of every school going to the nationals, only 8 teams will be selected from each zone to compete in the national arena.
The regional zones are also rearranged, albeit Southern Zone is unaffected. This includes the abolishment of SQL Zone (Sarawak, Sabah and Labuan), of which those schools affected are being grouped into Northern, Central and Eastern Zones.
Apart from Fairuz and Othman, some of our friendly debaters from other schools were also kind enough to drop by SEMESRA to share with the current BM team some tips and knowledge regarding Piala Perdana Menteri Debate competition. Mock debates were held to gear them towards preparing for the competition. We also show them videos and websites which were useful for them for the practice. Indeed, they gained many inputs from these seniors.
We were also informed of the grouping for the coming HKSBP. For BM team, the opponents were much scared by them, with big name such as SDAR appearing in the same team as them. Fret not, InsyaAllah, we can do something about that by practicing more. For the English team, despite luck seemed to be on their side with no big names being grouped with them, name such as MOZAC in their team should not be brushed off easily. Still, so many work must be done!
Overall, the review was good. We really hope the teams will go far this time around, although the teams were mostly consist of young batches (what happened to Zealous?). Our prayers are with you, SEMESRA. All the best!
