Artistic Gymnast Receives BJSS ‘Best All-Round Student’ Award

ARTISTIC gymnast Farah Ann Abdul Hadi, currently taking part in the SEA Games in Jakarta and Palembang, was named Bukit Jalil Sports School (BJSS) Best All-Round Student at the BJSS Exellence Awards ceremony in Kuala Lumpur recently.

Farah was presented with the prestigious award for her impressive results in local and international competitions. She also excelled in her studies and was one of BJSS’s top students in the PMR two years ago.

It was a memorable event for her as her father was also present at the presentation ceremony.

Congratulations: Farah Ann receiving the Best All-Round student award from Zahri.

Divers Pandalela Rinong, who is also looking forward to an impressive outing in the SEA Games, and Davis Ooi Tze Liang were voted as the Best Sportswoman and Sportsman respectively.

The annual event was organised by the BJSS Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) to appreciate students who excel in both studies and sports.

BJSS principal Marina Chin said they were committed towards grooming students to excel in studies and sports.

“We are also proud that 41 students and a teacher are representing Malaysia in the SEA Games in Indonesia. Some of the students have qualified for the Olympics. But we want them to excel in studies.

“Many of the students have done extremely well in the PMR, SPM and pre-university. We are certainly proud of their achievements,’’ said Marina.

The students also showed their talents in singing and dancing.

BJSS PTA president Datuk Dom Amy Hussain said they were keen to play a role in helping the students and teachers.

“The students have set good examples and should be appreciated for their sacrifices. Our aim is to help the school meet its objectives in academic and sports,’’ added Dom.
