Final Preparations for Presentation of Pasambah

The months of May to July 2007 were extremely busy months as the Class of 64 Library was being prepared for its Presentation Ceremony on 7 July 2007. The Working Committee Members were working round the clock to ensure all tasks were done in time for the big day. The different teams went about with their responsibilities ……logistics, catering, security and traffic control and exhibition. The library collection had now swelled to over 2,500 items. Dy Nooralizah was seen busy cataloguing items and keying the data into the system. Dy Nurul Fajrina was finalising the website and the HM Portal with more information and photographs, with the help of the vendor. Siti Hadijah on the other hand was accessioning the newly received items into the register.

The alumni members were soon filling-up the glass showcases with personal artifacts like medals and awards and their precious contributions of photographs and prized books and publications. The contractors were putting up signage and mounting the charts, posters and His Majesty’s photographs in the Gallery. In one corner committee members were sorting and dispatching to invitation cards, others were putting ribbons of the Student Handbook and Reference Sources on His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Wadaullah, the two books that were presented to His Majesty. The 30 June and 5 July were rehearsal days. The red carpet was laid down, the college spruced up, creating an air of excitement throughout the college. Curious students could not help but came round to ask about the flurry and the fuss. Now the Class of 64 Library looks grand, with a value-added element, of a library and a gallery which is supported by a web based on-line catalogue and an HM Portal.
