21 Nov 2025, Kampar - Yes, YOU MATTER!

At 8:45am, while the 2025 school year is counting down to the final term holidays, 100 Form 3 students of SMK ACS Methodist Kampar were buzzing with energy in the “YOU MATTER! Unlock Your Confidence, Mind & Self” workshop. From the very first icebreaker, it was clear this was no ordinary session: laughter, debates, reflections and total engagement everywhere. Total energy blast.

The boys? Surprisingly chattier than the girls! The top girl students? Fiercely competitive, and yes… envy was floating in the air . A highlight moment had three girl groups debating with Pn Siti that moods are uncontrollable. With a grin, she teased, “Then pity the boys… always the victims of us!” Everyone laughed, agreeing that yes, mood swings happen but they are still controllable.

The pink mahjong paper stole the show as their premiere experience. Students went wild and creativity flowed in hilarious ways. Some mind-mapped, others turned their lists into hilarious caricatures and a few boys even laid on their stomachs on stage, fully absorbed in sketching their thoughts. Pn Siti’s playful “psychological threats” and gentle shushhh-ing to tone down voices kept the chaos fun but focused. Through this activity, students discovered how a clear mind and structured goals create their personal “WHY” (motivation) to tackle Form 4 next year with confidence.

By the end, it felt like running a marathon while motivating in a hall, sweat flowing like Niagara Falls, energy high, minds buzzing. One thing was for sure: students left inspired, ready for Form 4 and carrying one truth: Your mind matters. Your dreams matter. YOU matter!

22 November 2025, Writeup on CSR and Educational trip to Skyline Luge KL

Beyond the Classroom: A Day of Impact & Inspiration 

Students from the Bachelor of Tourism Management (Hons) (Event Management) programme recently participated in a meaningful CSR and educational trip to Rawang.

At KC Valley, students engaged in dog-care activities, including bathing, cleaning, and socializing with the rescued dogs. This experience strengthened their teamwork, compassion, and understanding of animal welfare—while supporting the shelter’s daily operations and contributing positively to the community.

The learning continued at Skyline Luge KL, a rising attraction in Malaysia’s tourism landscape. By experiencing the luge firsthand, students gained insights into visitor management, safety planning, and how innovative recreational products enhance the overall tourism and event experience. It also highlighted how such attractions play a key role in destination appeal and sustainable tourism development.

A valuable day of learning, service, and real-world industry exposure—shaping well-rounded future professionals in tourism and event management. 

This program was organized to equip Form 4 and Form 2 students with essential fitness knowledge and fundamental exercise skills.

Date: 25 November 2025 (Tuesday)

Time: 12.00 pm – 1.30 pm

Venue: SMK Kampar

Participants: All Form 4 and Form 2 students

28 November 2025, Kampar - Leadership and Team Building Programme

We had the pleasure of running the Leadership and Team Building Programme at SMK ACS Methodist Kampar, engaging 100 vibrant students from Form 1 to Form 4.

Packed with interactive, hands-on activities, the programme aimed to develop leadership skills, strengthen teamwork and foster collaboration. It was inspiring to witness the students’ enthusiasm, active participation and commitment to building connections and embracing cooperation.

We are excited for future collaborations and look forward to continuing to nurture young leaders, empowering them to grow, inspire and make a meaningful impact.

28 November 2025, SMK Jln Pasir Puteh Perak, Ipoh turned reflection into inspiration as Pn. Siti led an engaging, high-energy session designed to spark ambition and action in every Form 4 student.

The day kicked off with a lively icebreaker, “One Word About 2025”, where words like chaotic, fun, growth, and challenges filled the room — setting the tone for honest reflection.

Students then dove into meaningful sharing:

What am I proud of?

What challenges did I overcome?

What lessons do I carry forward?

Laughter, surprises and genuine “aha!” moments proved that growth is truly a journey.

The crowd favourite? The Mission → Vision transformation activity!

From “MVP of procrastination” → “XP farmer of consistent study” and

“Wheelie Wekang” → “Power-up skills safely”, students turned real habits into hilarious — yet powerful — upgrades.

Next came vision mapping and action planning. Sticky notes, clear goals and bite-sized steps helped turn dreams into practical “level-up plans.” Even the quiet ones stepped up with confidence.

By the end, every student walked in dreaming and walked out ready to do. 

Form 5 isn’t scary — with the right mindset and action plan, “easy but can’t do it” becomes “done, dusted, and levelled up!”
