Six schools  participated in this event and the Champion was SM Sains Rembau followed by Sek Tinggi Islam As Sofa and the third place went to  SMV Dato Undang Haji Muhammad Sharip. Our school put up a performance entitled 'The Stone Soup'. The message in this  drama is about the importance of sharing.Kindness is one of the most important and fascinating qualities of our human experience. It is gratifying to watch as humans share their love, generosity and good nature.

Participating in drama performances,gives students ;

•  a possibility to express themselves and to develop their talent and communicative skills.
• Encourages students  to develop their  acting skills and abilities and this  increases their  self-esteem and self-confidence.
•  Most importantly  it helps students to improve their English Language.

Here are some pictures taken during the drama  competition. 

The pictures are not too clear due to the distance and usage of mobile phone camera. Will replace these pictures with better ones as soon as possible. Meanwhile happy viewing. Bye for now till the next event.
