The contest, a school initiative to improve literacy, was held in collaboration with three Malaysian schools. Students in Years 4 to 6 participated in the competition.

The school’s headmistress Rasimah binti Haji Abang said the competition aimed to expose students to new skills in technology and creativity, while also improving their competency in language.
