PTE Tutong held an open day earlier today where students from various schools came to visit. The visitors consist of neighboring schools around the Tutong District which are Sekolah Menengah Muda Hashim, Sekolah Menengah Sayyidina Othman, Sekolah Menengah Sufri Bolkiah, Mahad Islam Brunei for boys and Sekolah Menengah RIPAS. There was also a special visit from a school from Belait District which is Sekolah Menengah PAP Rashidah, Lumut. PTE Tutong's open day even attracted students from St. Margaret's Secondary School to look around the institution.  The event went well as it started with a talk from the principle, Hadion Lim Beng Guan, where he welcomed everyone who visited. 

Visitors spent time in PTE Tutong listening to talks regarding subjects they're interested to take in sixth form and are given a tour around the campus. There were mini activities held by MPPs and PGs where treats are offered to the winners. The visitors are also given the chance to learn a thing or two about PTE Tutong and the routine we do daily.

Book vendors came to give students and visitors the opportunity to purchase books from out of the district. The school even put up sales promoting PTE Tutong by selling merchandises and miscellaneous items. During the afternoon, the Fun & Fit club held a short warm-up session for the student body. The visitors, however, are still spending time around the campus to look around and gain a better idea of how being in a sixth form center feels like.

Umbrellas' up for the past few weeks as Brunei have been experiencing rainy weathers. The low lands are mostly flooded and the roads are covered with puddles. In school, everyone is pulling their jackets close as the air-conditioning gets unbearably cold. Since PTET's Open Day is going to be held soon, it's expected that it'll be a rainy day, too.
