(Miri, 27th) Riam Road Secondary School recently held its graduation ceremony at the school hall.
The school's academic advisor, Julie, stated in her speech that on the long journey of life, everyone has a goal of their own, much like a distant tower that guides and motivates. Whether it's a short-term vacation plan or a direction for the next year's efforts.
She said the ten principles of success are: keeping the tower within sight: no matter the size of the goal, clarifying the direction is the first step; taking the first step: the key to achieving a goal lies in action; being well-prepared: knowledge and skills are your "gear" on life's journey; choosing the right direction and map: on the road of life, it is crucial to listen to the right advice and choose the route that suits you; accepting help: don’t hesitate to seek help when you feel exhausted; paying attention to road signs: there are often warning signs along the journey reminding you of potential dangers; getting lost isn't terrifying: sometimes a wrong turn can lead you to discover a more suitable goal; having goodwill towards others: treating others kindly not only earns more support for yourself but also adds joy to the journey; being brave to explore: the scenery and experiences along the way can help you better understand yourself and might redefine your goals; enjoying the journey: while goals are important, the journey itself is equally worth cherishing. Ms. Julie firmly believes that at Riam Road Secondary School, the meaning of education is not only to impart knowledge but also to provide direction and meaning in life. No matter how far the future “tower” is, students can achieve a wonderful life with courage and perseverance.
Additionally, the school’s chairman, Dato Sri Liu Jiu Jian, mentioned in his graduation speech that the purpose of education is not just for making a living but for creating the meaning of life.
He emphasized that while knowledge is important, the future world needs talents with a kind heart, a global vision, and a sense of social responsibility. He hopes students will not only become wise individuals but also transform their knowledge into a force for improving the world. With the introduction of the A-Level curriculum, Riam Road Secondary School has further strengthened its competitiveness in academic education. The A-Level course provides students with a bridge to international universities and fully prepares them for the globalized world. Meanwhile, the school integrates Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into the curriculum, fostering a deep understanding of environmental protection, social responsibility, and economic sustainability, shaping future leaders with both wisdom and compassion.
Dato Sri believes that 2024 marks a milestone in educational achievements for Riam Road Secondary School, as well as a turning point in student growth. In this year, the school and students together have written an extraordinary chapter belonging to them. This is both a summary and a new beginning. With the school's spirit and blessings, graduates are about to embark on new journeys, shaping the future with wisdom, influencing others with love, and creating miracles with perseverance.
