KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 20
---------------------------
Johor Baru's Sekolah Tun Fatimah (STF) will mark its golden jubilee with sports, a fund-raiser, fun-fair, royal banquet and other activities from March 26 to early July.
The all-girls boarding school is inviting its alumnus and former staff to take part in the celebrations.
The activities, launched on Saturday, are jointly organised by STF, Old Girls' Association or Srikandi Tun Fatimah (SKTF) and Parent-Teacher Association.
The main focus is the setting up of the Dana Srikandi fund. It hopes to raise RM500,000 for the school's programmes through a futsal tournament, charity dinner, royal banquet and carnival.
On the drawing board are a treasure hunt, golf and bowling competition.
The money will be used to upgrade school infrastructure besides helping needy students.
SKTF president Prof Noriah Mohamed said it would be the grandest event held by the school to mark its 50th year of existence.
On March 26, a futsal tournament will be held at Sunway Sports Planet, Bandar Sunway. Twenty women's teams and 10 men's teams made up of boarding school alumnus will take part. [Note from me: 1] tournament will be held at Rio de futsal, 2] Twenty men's teams and 10 men's teams rather than what stated]
On April 1, SKTF patron Tengku Puan Muda Pahang, Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah Sultan Iskandar, will attend the fund-raising royal dinner, Makan Malam Perdana, at Sunway Lagoon Hotel Convention Centre.
On April 22, a treasure hunt will be staged in the Klang Valley.
A 'Back To School' programme will be held in June in which the seniors will motivate students.
In early July, a proclamation at the school will be graced by its patron, Johor Sultanah, Sultanah Zanariah Tunku Ahmad.
Noriah hoped that all Srikandis, including those who attended the first classes in Durian Daun, Malacca, will attend the event.
They will join Sultanah Zanariah and other royal family members, who are SKTF members, including newly-wed royal couple, Tunku Bendahara Johor Tunku Abdul Majid Idris Sultan Iskandar and former TV3 corporate communication manager Tunku Teh Mazni Tunku Yusof, for a royal banquet at the school.
This will be followed by a carnival at the school compound with about 40 booths selling various items.
STF, formerly known as Sekolah Menengah Perempuan Melayu, was based in Durian Daun before it moved to Larkin, Johor Baru, in August 1962.
School principal Halimah Shaaban said most of the students then came from villages.
She said those who graduated since 1963 had been big achievers with many becoming lawyers, doctors, broadcast personnel and corporate personalities.

KC,
we're in the midst of ironing out things to be done within the limited time. ada masa memang rasa macam nak give up tapi i'm 1/3 in it so kena jalan terus dan tak boleh patah balik dah. Hope i'll have the strength.
Lx,

Cari je old gathering pix kat CK's blog.. sure my pix in there. Still, dalam those pix, cari yang "paling tak glamer" kay :)

Salam! Think you are doing a fantastic job organising events for the school. I'm an ex-STFian (85-89) and so is my mom (65-69), we hope to be in one of the events together. Carry on the good work!
