LEO Club of High School Batu Pahat

Roar! Roar! Roar! That is the spirit each member in our Leo club holds on to throughout the fiscal year of 2009/2010. “Even the weak become strong when they are united.” This is best to describe the members of our Leo club. The members of our Leo club range from Form 1 to Form 6, but we never come up with an interaction problem among ourselves. Instead, we share our weal and woe together, our friendship goes beyond mere friends to that a closeness that only family members could boast of. It wasn’t that easy to create the bond between all of us, but soon after our very first major activity, which was our joint installation with Leo Clubs of SMK Dato Syed Esa and Chinese High School, we had made it! We couldn’t adapt carrying out activity with other Leo clubs at first, and that’s why the preparation and the organization of the installation was appalling. However, through endless exhausting rehearsals, we managed to stage up with an outstanding yet significant installation night with all the protocols and decorum followed. The theme of “Peace, Hope & Unity… The Mysterious Strength” emphasizes that we should treasure the great camaraderie between all of us in order to make this world a better place to live in. Being an active club in school and in zone, we had been committing ourselves in a total of 64 activities together, including our monthly general meetings, school service activities, community service activities, recycling projects, and some activities organized by Lions Club of Batu Pahat. We had always been playing our roles well in preserving and conserving our environment, knowing that the environmental problems were getting serious and critical. In order to create awareness among the students in our school, we had organized “Save Our Mother Earth” (SOME) Campaign. This campaign was simply an event to remind everyone about the importance of protecting and appreciating our planet. With a Leo Garden which had been announced by school principal as one of the most beautiful garden in school compound, we , Leos, most commonly known as “Green Warriors” in the school. Other than that, we also organized “The Joy of Sight” Sight First Campaign at Summit Parade, where we provided free eye-checkups to public and distributed discount vouchers with the help and supervision from Sing Kong Optical Shop. Another major activity of our club was our 1st motivational camp---LIFE Camp, organized jointly by LEO Club and Interact Club of High School Batu Pahat in Kem Sembrong, Air Hitam. Organizing Committee worked together and created this inedible experience to both the campers and the organizing committees as well. I believe that those who had once immersed themselves in the laughter during LIFE Camp remember how we hugged and sobbed together after the closing ceremony of the camp! Lo and behold, we are not just a mere club which enthuses in community services, school services, and activities organized by Lions Club. In fact, other than serving the community, working together happily is our second priority. We really enjoy the time being together with each and every one in this club. Although we had dealt with many obstacles and obstruction along the way to success, we never back away. We are a family, a big family. We go with the same surname. It is so-called “LEO”!
