Alumni CBM Reunion Lunch 2008

Date and Venue:

16th August 2008 @ Evergreen Laurel Hotel, Penang

This is the alumni's second reunion gathering. Unlike the previous year, we had lunch gathering instead of dinner.

Those who came range from these batches (year they graduate from secondary school):

1962, 1965,1969, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1978, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1996, 1999, 2001 and 2002

There were a lot of interesting games and again, everyone was full of life. From the feedback, reunion gathering is seen to be one of the events that is most looked out for by the alumni members.

And, of course, Lots of photo sessions  :-)

First General Meeting - Alumni CBM

The first general meeting was held in our alma mater (23rd February 2008).

It was great as it brought back memories of school days when we used to have dozens of AGMs

in the very same hall (the new hall).

After the meeting, we went around the school.... :-)

And a group photo... of some of us... who were still there (after going around the school, reliving their own memories)

Convent Bukit Mertajam Alumni Dinner 2007

This was the first activity organized by Persatuan Alumni Convent Bukit Mertajam. The event was timely as it was held 1 week after the alumni has been officially registered, offering the former students and former teachers of Convent Bukit Mertajam the chance to learn more about the Alumni body.  There are several activities being held besides opening the floor for line dancing. The crowd was energetic and the strength and spirit of sisterhood among former CBM students was remarkable. Following the event, we have managed to gather some members registered as alumni.

Date: 30th June 2007, Saturday

Venue: Pearl View Hotel

The alumni set up

For a school that has exceeded 70 years old, it is kinda late to finally have the alumni established in June 2007. Better late than never ;-)

During reunion lunch in 2006, where SMK Convent BM (teachers, PIBG and Board of Governors) managed to gather ex students dated from the 50s right up to the most recent years. The idea to form an official alumni body emerged and some great people volunteered to be the backbone to realize this noble proposal.

Some of us were very enthusiastic and confident while some others were afraid of not being able to give full commitment and few other reasons. But, after calls are made among us, and since we have always been in love and loyal to our alma mater, it was hard to look back. This can be a way to contribute back to the place that have somehow shaped the persons we are today.

The place where we learned to love people known as friends, to share joy and sorrows. Learn to love people regardless of race, religion and status. Learn to never give up, learn to be confident and learn to be independent. Learn to respect and... the list goes on.

The alumni is still very young. We are looking for more ex-students to register as alumni. We, at the committee level, will be happy to get more response and suggestions as well.

We are currently working on a project to help needy students in CBM with a mini scholarship program. This will be discussed in the AGM and so will some other possible activities, especially ones that can bring back ol-CBM-girls gathered together.

Interested to join the alumni? Contact me for further details, kindly drop ur email add ;-)
