A TIME FOR CHRISTMAS!




A
Fun
Happy
Blessed
Time.
Christmas.
A time for giving,
A time for sharing,
A time for appreciation.
Christmas.
A time of love,
A time of care,
A time of warmth.
Christmas.
A time of helping,
A time of reflection,
A time to cherish goodwill.
Christmas.
A time of snow,
A time of winter,
A time of merriment
Christmas.
A time of pine,
A time of mistletoe,
A time of poinsettia.
Christmas.
A time of hope
A time of wishes,
A time of reminiscence
Let
2016
begin
on
a
happy
note!


Reminisce the great memories,
And make new ones.
Celebrate the good times!
REJOICE!

~ A poem by Keisha Wee ~




MERRY CHRISTMAS

To all celebrants, SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDIL FITRI!


I earnestly bestow upon you and your family,
A Hari Raya that's wonderfully cheery!
Blessings, love and peace are all to be had abundantly,
Safety and good health to be observed diligently.
On this festive occasion, do enjoy your treats and goodies heartily,
But remember to exercise restraint and eat wisely.
For Hari Raya Aidil Fitri celebrates the spirit of abstinence victoriously, 
Purification and renewal of mind and bodies symbolically.
Bearing greatest respect for willpower, commitment and discipline assiduously,
Let nothing stand in the way of celebrating this festival joyously.
Disassociate from creed and colour ingenuously,
Rejoice as a nation amiably and wholeheartedly!
To all celebrants at Tenby, Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri! 
😃

Tenby Charity Ball 2015 - Bond 007

What an evening!


Parents from all sections of the school body, teachers from TIS and SST, representatives from different departments and all levels of the school body: all together as one, under one roof, for the same single purpose.  


The photos are testament to an incredible evening. The ballroom was overflowing with beautiful people.  The atmosphere was carefree and bright.  The music was simply superb coming from David Spencer and Jazzmine’s Aria (a huge hand for David, Shen, Eugene, Charlotte and our very own TIS Campus Principal, Andrew Auster who between them bewitched and impressed all of us with their talent on the keyboard, trombone, saxophone and vocals); and later from The Fugitives, our live band (thank you DBT, Gavin, Stuart, Nic and Paul) who made sure none of us sat still for long after dinner.  Who knew we could shift our bodies like that on the dance floor?

Seth, Hassan and Peter of TriKnight Creative did a marvelous job with the photo booth in the foyer. We say ‘photo booth’ but in reality, it was more of a professional studio with some serious expertise (and a seriously long queue).  Seth, with extraordinary patience and good humour, took excellent photos for guests to take home as mementos. Roving photographer Peter took candid shots throughout the evening and these will be available for order shortly; please check here on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/tenbycharityball) for details on how to order.  


Table #27 having a fabulous time at the Photo Booth. Don't they look awesome?

Amidst all this cheer and entertainment was a reminder of what brought us all together for the evening: a simple and beautiful presentation on the charities we support played on the TV screens in the foyer.  With simplicity and weight, it showed which charities the students had chosen and why.  See it here ...



The evening inside the ballroom began with a bang at 7.30pm.  The James Bond theme music struck up; the lights went down; the spotlight searched the room.  It stopped.  The spotlight shone stock still at the circle of the Bond Tenby With Love backdrop specially constructed for this purpose (thank you Venu of Ace Fame).  As the music reached its climatic end, Deputy Head Pastoral, Tom Robinson stepped through the backdrop into the spotlight.  Confetti flew.  The evening proper had begun.







Tom who was our MC for the evening did a fabulous job entertaining everyone and keeping all guests on their toes, clapping and cheering, throughout the lucky draw, Bond quiz and the auction.  One has to wonder where he hides that Duracell battery pack of his.


Tom, our MC for the evening

Person after person came up in a seemingly endless stream to collect their prizes: a handphone, a coffee machine, air tickets to Langkawi and Ho Chi Minh, three hotel stays in Phuket, F&B vouchers, gym membership, a waveboard, balance bike, golf lessons, osteopath sessions, beautiful household items, a bottle of Prosecco, a voucher for handmade shoes…the list went on…


One of the raffle prize winners.. Congratulations!
Choosing the next raffle prize winner...

Jazzmine’s Aria



Then came the auction. We raised a whopping RM 21,600 to add onto funds raised for charity: 


  • An amazing RM 7,000 for the butler services of TIS Campus Principal, Andrew Auster and Deputy Head Pastoral Tom Robinson;
  • RM 1,600 for the party services of Messrs Kenny and Adam;
  • RM 2,300 for lessons with pro golfer Siew Ai Lim;
  • RM 600 for a JD Bug scooter; and 
  • An incredible RM 10,000 for the autographed photo of Sean Connery, who many consider the best Bond.





Thank you all who participated!  Hope you had as much fun as we did, watching and cheering as the bid climbed and then peaked above and beyond all expectations.

Thank you, The Fugitives

We would like to once more thank all parents, teachers and friends of Tenby who came and supported the event; our light and sound people – Hi-Volt - who made the ballroom look and sound fantastic (a special thank you to Jennifer Yan, Eddie and Darla); Venu Gopal and Ace Fame who sponsored the design and production of all marketing materials, backdrop and souvenir programme; Sid’s Pubs who sponsored all the martinis and Heineken beer; TriKnight Creative who took the photos; the Tan family and a group of lovely ladies who sponsored 58 bottles of wine for the dinner tables; the hotel and its staff (especially Jerome Carouee and Junaina Bt Mohd Nadzir); all sponsors of gifts and prizes; Andrew Auster, Tom Robinson, Iain Sallis who was our Bond, Terri Clarke; all contributors to the souvenir programme – Iain Sallis, Jeff Ison, David Mellor, Eugene Kok, Head Girl of TIS Aleena Jeremiah, Akhtar Qureshi; each and every one of the organising committee (Arlene, Deepi, Joanne, Julia, Julie, Lian, Liz, Sham, Shreen, Tom, Wai Han); Tenby staff who transported all the equipment to and from school at odd hours especially James; the students of Tenby School; and everyone who came and let their hair down. 

Total Fund Raised from this event :

1. Cash Raised = RM 59,650.00 
(final figures pending final account closing from school's Finance Dept)
  • RM 13,250 from Advertisements in Souvenir Booket;
  • RM 10,300 of Cash Donation;
  • RM 7,500 from sales of Raffle tickets;  
  • RM 21,600 from Auction;
  • About RM 7,000 from balance of Charity Ball tickets sales (after deducting F&B expenses; photographer and Photo Booth services - which was partially subsided by a group of parents; printing of Souvenir Booklets; stage Backdrop design and printing)


2. Donations in kind Raised = about RM 49,248.00
(This includes all sponsored items/services such as all gifts, design & printing of 'marketing' materials, lighting & sound sound system, Bond video, alcohol (beers, cocktails, wine).
It is imperative to note that without such donations in kind and sponsorships, we could not have raised the cash value as stated above.

CELEBRATING CHINESE NEW YEAR!




The beating gongs, the pounding drums,
Lions leap, lions pounce.
Cymbals clash, the crowds roar,
Screaming, shouting, they want more!


The Year of the Goat,
The Year of the Goat.
It's here, it's here!
2015, it's here, it's here.


Red Packets are exchanged,
As words of thanks are said.
Xie xie, xie xie,
Doh jeh, doh jeh.


Glasses clink and chopsticks clash,
As words of cheer and joy are said.
Loh hei, loh hei,
Toss it up. 


Gong Xi Fa Cai,
Happy New Year!
Kung Hei Fatt Choy,
Happy Chinese New Year!!!


HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Tenby Charity Ball 2015: Promo week 30th Jan



Parents...Wear Your Name Tags Please!



A Community Message...





A safe, orderly school makes it possible to achieve excellence in promoting an overall healthy, purposeful and harmonious school environment. 

Parents are reminded that part of the Tenby Schools' safety plan requires that all visitors-including parents and school volunteers-wear name tags or school IDs at all times while on the campus. 

This procedure assists the school management and security team to identify persons associated with the school, which in turn, contributes to the safety of our own children. 

We appreciate all parents' involvement in putting this code of ethics to practice!
