Big Splash 2014 Glimpses

It's only once a year when senior students are allowed 

to jump into the school's pool with their clothes on, and even watch their house captains being thrown in by their peers. No Cempakan will ever forget their experience doing this. With that being said, here are the pictures of the Annual Big Splash 2014.

1957 was a year of change,

In our country where all the races ranged,

31st of August was a special day, 

where Tunku Abdul Rahman led the way.

Through thick and thin we fought through our battle scars,

The feel of independence seemed so near but felt so far,

In England he went to claim our rights,

And didn’t leave without putting up a fight.

Holding our breaths, we waited anxiously,

To hear the news of our very own country,

Together the races stood as one,

Awaiting to know what had been done.

With the Union Jack brought down,

The rightful flag, Jalur Gemilang, was crowned,

The national anthem filled the air,

The Negaraku being sung joyously everywhere.

Scanning around with a victorious grin,

with over thousands of people, all eyes on him.

Fist in the air, straight to the crowd,

“Merdeka, Merdeka, Merdeka!” he shouted out loud.
