BE MY FRIEND

The Be My Friend project was a two- week long fund-raising project organized by our club. In the duration of two weeks, we sold two gorgeous types of friendship bracelets.

These bracelets, handmade by the Leos were made up of various colored synthetic string fastened with pewter charms. The two charms were a heart- shaped charm and an anchor charm.

The main objective of this project was to promote friendship and companionship amongst our school students. The bracelets was a symbol of the bond of friendship shared between friends.The sales of the the bracelets was a massive success! With the help of the probationers, the bracelets were sold of in no time and are still in demand!

We thank all involved in this project. Your help and support is and always will be appreciated. We hope that in future, all our fund raising projects will receive such an enthusiastic response from the school, the students and the Leos.

REVAMPING THE LEO BOARD

On the 6th to 9th of January 2014, the Leo Club of Assunta has organised the Leo board revamping project. Approximately 10 Leos attended this project. The purpose of carrying out this project is to allow Leos to show their creativity and decorate the Leo board. As it was a schooling day, the project started after school ended.

The theme for the Leo board this year is Night Safari. One of the Leos went to buy the decorations while the others think of what to add on the Leo board. After getting the decorations, the Leos start to get to work. Since the theme was Night Safari, they used a dark blue coloured paper as the background, followed by some trees and the leaves.

On the second day, some Leos printed some pictures of animals, lion as the main picture. The Organising Chairperson of the project arranged the pictures on the board. One of the Leos also painted a bus on a cardboard to be pasted up on the Leo board.

On the last day of the project, the Leos collected all the board members’ name card pasted them on the board.

Overall, the project was carried out successfully. Everyone was happy with the board and hoping to have the “best decorated soft board” prize.

MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

Phase 2. These Leos were divided into groups and given different classes to promote the Leo Club of SMK Assunta in order to gain recruits before the deadline of the online co-curricular submission ended. Sign boards and sandwich boards (wearable 2-sided sign boards) were made also to promote the club around school.

As we're in the technological era, the membership drive also commenced throughsocial media. All the Leos of SMKA had participated in the online events. The Leos changed their profile pictures to a standard 'Join Leo' picture, Leos also hashtagged '#JoinLeoSMKA2014' on twitter and shared a few posters on Facebook.

A video in anticipation with the Membership Drive was also made and edited by Leo Melissa. The video had been posted on the LEOSMKA YouTube channel, and had been shared around social media.

CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR GIFTS

On the 3rd of January 2014, the Leo Club of SMK Assunta gave out Famous Amosjelly pops to the teachers and the school staff as Christmas and New Year gifts. The gifts were prepared a week before school started.

We spent about 3 hours tying ribbons onto the jelly pops and sticking labels to them. With the help of a few Leos, the gifts were given out to the teachers and school staff quickly. They really liked how the jelly pops were decorated. The smiles on the teachers and school staffs’ faces when they received the gifts made us feel that our hard work was worth it.

RECRUITMENT VIDEO

On 4th January 2014, the Leo Club of SMK Assunta had posted a video in conjunction with the Membership Drive project which would be held on 6th January 2014. The main objective of this video was to share the great experiences and life – changing oppurtunities we had during the Leo journey to everyone we knew, especially to SMK Assunta students who do not know what Leo is all about and also to recruit more Leo members for the fiscal year 2013 – 2014.

The video was done by one of our members, Leo Melissa Cheng. Pictures of past projects were put into the video to show what interesting and fun projects we have been doing throughout this fiscal year and the past fiscal year too. The video was posted in Youtube and shared by the Leo members on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram too. We deeply appreciate and thank our members for all the support they’ve given for the project and to Leo Melissa for making this video.

SAVE OUR WATERFALL

On 21st December 2013, 7 Leos from the Leo Club of SMK Assunta participated in the regional project, Save Our Waterfalls, organised by Leo Eric Teh. Seven other clubs had also joined this regional project. We gathered at Monash University at 6.45am and left for Kanching at around 7.10am. The journey to Kanching waterfall was about one hour. When we reached the place, we saw a lot of monkeys there! We could see monkeys almost everywhere we went to. We gathered at a spot nearby to be briefed on what to do and were given T-shirts to wear during the project. First we were separated into 2 groups, then we shifted the plants that were in the black polyurethane bags to the spots where we were going to plant them.

After that, the two groups were separated to do two different activities. One group went to the waterfall to clean it up. This group went to the second, third and fourth level of the waterfall to clean it up. We could not go to the higher levels of the waterfall because it would be too high and dangerous for us. The other group followed a few instructors from Pertubuhan Pecinta Air Terjun Selangor to an area nearby the waterfall to find different species of insects we can find and are beneficial to the environment. They also learnt how to check if the waterfall was clean by checking it’s pH value.

Later, we had lunch at around 12.00pm. After lunch, some of us went to clean up the area nearby the waterfall by picking up the rubbish we could find. Some of us also planted the plants at the spots where we shifted them to. After that we took a group picture with the instructors from Pertubuhan Pencinta Air Terjun Selangor. We went to the waterfall again to have some fun after all our hard work. We left the place at around around 3.00pm. We had a lot a fun and met new friends during the project. It was a new and interesting experience for all of us.

LEO CHRISTMAS CHARITY BAZAAR

On the 13th to 15th of December, PJI Leo Club organized a Christmas Charity Bazaar which is a joint Christmas project of SMK Assunta, SMK Taman Petaling and SMK Taman Sea. The aim for this project is to give the orphans a memorable Christmas. The head of the project was Leo Samantha from PJI and Assistant Head Leo Melvin.

The three day bazaar was held at Tropicana City Mall (infront of Borders), 1 st floor. Leos started arriving at 8:30am to help set up the booth and blow balloons but the event officially started at 10am and ended at 10pm. We were divided to groups of seven consisting of Cashier, Gift wrapper , Stationary counter 1, Stationary counter 2, Clothes counter, Accessories counter and Runner.

The stationary counter displayed a variety of goods suitable for children and adults alike. We sold clothes from branded stores such as H&M, 21 and Pixie all for a reasonable price. Most interestingly, we had a Secret Santa service where people have the liberty to choose a card from the Christmas tree consisting of an orphans name, age and gender. They then have to buy a gift for that lucky orphan. The gift wrappers wrapped the presents and they were put under the tree. It was a really good experience being part of this project as we inculcated good values such as determination, responsibility and perseverance. Everyone did their very best to come for their shifts and help out as much as they could and some even stayed the whole day! We would definitely cherish that very moment as we got to make new friends and we brought joy to a lot of kids.
