THE CEMPAKAN
The Cempakan is a Scholar.
Entry into the School is through competitive entrance examinations. From
the moment a Cempakan is accepted into the School, he/ she is initiated
into the culture of academic rigour and discipline. Standards are high and
competition is keen.
Cempakans record in National Public Examinations ever since its inception
in 1983 has been impeccable : 100% passes each year in all examinations
the Ujian Penilaian Sekolah rendah (UPSR) at Primary School and both
the Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR) and Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) at
Secondary School. The School is invariably listed as one of the top schools
in these examinations each year and on numerous occasions, Cempakans have
topped both the State and National lists and have progressed to win scholarships
and gained entry into prestigious universities.
In the International Australian Schools Competitions which is open to thousands
of schools in the Asia Pacific region, Cempakans consistently perform well
winning Gold medals and High Distinctions each year. Many Cempakans do equally
well in the Royal Commonwealth Essay competition, winning prizes, Special
and High Distinctions. The Cempakan is a Sportsman.
As soon as a student becomes a Cempakan, he/she is allocated a School
House to which they belong throughout their school career. The first thing
he / she will notice is that the fierce competitive spirit in the classroom
spills into the field. House spirit is evident throughout the year as the
main co-curricular events are all house-based, but the time where it is
strongest is during the Annual Games Carnival week and Annual Sports Day
where it culminates in the March Past and House Decoration competitions.
The houses are entirely run by Cempakans with very little intervention,
if any, from the teachers. It is during this time that creativity, organizational
skills and ability to work in teams are tested and the results are put in
full display. The atmosphere is festive and tension-filled, but always highly
enjoyable.
Cempakans also participate in inter-school competitions soccer, netball,
badminton, table-tennis and tennis to name a few. Always among the top schools
at swimming in Wilayah Persekutuan, both the Cempaka Primary School and
Secondary School teams emerged overall champions in Wilayah Persekutuan
in 2000.
The Cempakan is a Gentleman.
A sense of consideration and respect for others completes the Cempakan.
