As
we look back the 50 years, I cannot help but feel a sense of enormous fulfillment
at the development of this school.
God has blessed this school so much that no words can fully
express the depths of our gratitude.
From a solitary block, called the Summer's Memorial, the school
has grown in size to its present magnificence with eight blocks of
buildings. I must acknowledge that this school now possesses most of the
basic structural facilities which, over the years, our far-sighted
Pastors and leaders of Sarawak Chinese Methodist Church, Board of
Management, Old Student's Association, principals and staff have labored
and brought into fruition. Certainly,
the students as well as their generous parents and the Sibu society have
been unrivaled in their efforts and contributions.
To all our benefactors, thank you very much.
The physical aspect aside, we are also immensely proud of the
many professional individuals, leaders and morally upright citizens that
have passed through the gates of this premier school.
In
conjunction with this Golden Anniversary, we are very honoured and
highly motivated by the presence of our Chief Minister, YAB Datuk
Patinggi Tan Sri (Dr) Haji Abdul Taib Mahmud who has so graciously
consented to officiate the opening of our new school building.
We would also like to express our indebtedness to YB Datuk Wong
Soon Koh, who has willingly supported and helped us in so many different
ways.
The
new millennium will bring on more changes in the area of curriculum
development. Right now the urgency is to be literate in Information
Technology. To this end, we
hope to be able to equip our school with the necessary facilities.
Blessed with a fine tradition which is steeped in the spirit of
"Seek, Find and Serve", I am sure we would be able to cope
with these and many other changes which are inevitable.
Your generous support has and will continue to be the forte of
our success.
