Besides their workshop tests, the boys are also required to take their General Studies exam, which encompasses subjects like English, Malay language, and Mathematics..

Following qualifying competitions, the top ten students were chosen for the spelling competition, which served as the opening round of the General Studies Department students’ skills competition. Soon after, the boys showed off their skills in word chain and story-telling competitions. These competitions were created to put students’ ingenuity to the test whilst also enhancing their language proficiency. Cheers to those who participated, notably those who came out on top.

In addition to their workshop examinations, the boys are also to sit for their General Studies exam which includes English, Malay language and Mathematics.

In addition to the existing skill assessments, all of the boys will have to complete English and Malay language assessments. Furthermore, their speaking, listening, and reading skills in the respective languages were evaluated. Everyone deserves praise for giving it their all.

The General Studies Department students’ skills competition began with a tale telling competition. Shortly after, the boys demonstrated their ability to sing English songs. A general knowledge quiz was also given to all of the participants. These events were designed to test students’ creativity while also improving their language knowledge and competencies. Congratulations to everyone who took part, especially the winners.

All of the boys were also required to take English and Malay language exams in addition to their usual skills exams. They were also tested on their ability to communicate in the said languages in terms of speaking, listening, and reading. Kudos to everyone who gave it their all!
