Message from the Principal of Senior Methodist Girls' School, K.L.

1. Welcome to the MGS Website. It is indeed an honour for me to write this message
because it will not only be read by the present teachers and students, but also by anyone
who visits our website. The internet has made available to all of us information from all
over the world which before takes weeks and months to acquire, but now with just a click
of the mouse or just a touch of our finger!
I take the pleasure to say that indeed God has blessed MGS abundantly. We have a great
school passed to us from our predecessors: our past principals and teachers who have
with their dedication and passion for the school brought it to its present glory. We have
produced students who have also brought us honour and pride with their great
achievements, serving as important figures both in the Government sector as well as the
private sector.
Every year the academic results of our students speak volume of the hard work put in by
the teachers and students themselves. Despite the fact that many of our girls come from
challenging backgrounds, the school maintained excellent results in all public
examinations, the PMR, SPM and STPM. Many of our girls get admitted to Fully
Residential Schools after their PMR, but many chose to stay back because they believe
that the MGS is the school of their choice.
We believe in value-added education for our students. We encouraged all students to be
involved in community projects as well as projects which help to conserve our
environment. For community projects this year, students have gone out to The Stepping
Stone, Rumah Rahoma, Wisma Harapan, Kampung Sg Sireh Tg Karang for Homestay
etc where they learn love and care for children who are mentally challenged, from
difficult family background and also those who are less privileged than them. As for the
environment projects, we have programmes in school like the Secondary School Energy
Efficiency Action Project ( SSEAP), Recycling, Making compost and paper, Gotong-
Royong at Forest Reserve Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) and also planting of vegetables,
plants and trees around the school. Besides, we have been fortunate to have set up two
clubs this year, a) the Key Club under the sponsorship of KIWANIS which had helped
the students in leadership training and also community service; b) the Young
Entrepreneur Club (under the sponsorship of the American Chamber of Commerce and
General Electric International) have trained a group of girls to understand how business
works, through hands-on creation, development and management of their own company.
This had enabled the students to develop skills in teamwork, business acumen, and other
areas that will enable them to become strong leaders and entrepreneurs in future. We also
have our Interact Club under the sponsorship of Rotary Damansara where the members
this year raised funds to help some of our poor students to pay their school.fees.

2. We are honoured and privileged to have a community that loves and supports us: parents,
benefactors and stakeholders have been most dedicated in helping the girls achieve their
best in their education, including in their co-curricular activities. Parents, alumnae,
friends and all in the community have contributed selflessly to add value to the education
of the girls. The School Alumni has also set up a special fund which gives scholarship to
poor students of the school.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Uni.Asia Life Assurance, under the Bank
Negara adoption programme has brought immense benefit to the school. They have
sponsored projects on enabling the students to be more financially literate for the past 3
years. It is also timely that our gratitude goes to MatrixConnexion (Google Apps
representative for the Asean region) because their contribution in setting up Google Apps
has helped the school to interact and exchange information through cloud computing.
Every student and teacher may communicate with each other through the school blog,
email, forum, calendar, virtual classrooms, videos etc) ... certainly an important tool to
help us achieve our school vision of becoming a knowledge-based school by 2012.
MGS is proud to say that we have even attracted the attention of schools from beyond our
shore. Every year we have the privilege of playing host to a variety of schools. This year
we had students and teachers from the Ling Leung Church E Wun Secondary School,
Hong Kong and also the Chiba Eiwa High School, Japan who visited us on a cultural and
social exchange programme.
There is still much to be accomplished. We set our eyes on life-long learning and
encourage all teachers and students to look beyond just passing examinations. Besides the
importance of achieving our vision and our mission is to continue to produce students
who are of noble character, who are knowledgeable, skillful and competitive in all fields.
I challenge each and every stakeholder to commit themselves to achieving both our
vision and mission, and I am certain with God’s Grace and Blessings, we will take the
school to even greater heights.
