Posted on Jul 28th 2009 at 7:22am under Announcements by wongck

MBS boys have once again shown their creativity and prowess in the field of Science and Mathematics when they emerged first runner-up in the lower secondary category and champion in the upper secondary category in the RHB-The Star Mighty Minds Federal Territory state challenge which was held on 25 and 26 July at Berjaya Times Square.

The state wide competition has received overwhelming participation. In the lower secondary category, 108 teams from schools in Kuala Lumpur took part in this competition. 30 teams were selected after a round of Science, Mathematics and general knowledge quiz. Both of MBSSKL lower secondary teams made it to the second round. MBSSKL team B, represented by Gordan Tay Shao Kang, Kelvin Wong Yow Yung and Mohd Solleh Bin Asmadi, emerged as the first runner-up after the hands-on challenge. The prizes were RM2000 and a digital camera.

In the upper secondary category, MBSSKL team A represented by Eric Khong Mun Kit, Caleb Wong Qile and Anthony Yew Wing Xiang have made the school proud by emerging as the state champion. They will represent Kuala Lumpur in the National Challenge on 15 and 16 August. They took home RM3000 and a desk top computer for the school.

All these are possible because of the vision and dedication of the teachers in the Science and Mathematics department who always strive to bring creativity and critical thinking skills in the teaching of the subject matters. In addition the Science and Mathematics Department has been conducting similar activity since 2006. Go Forward MBS!
