Secondary Five students from seven schools paid Micronet International College in Gadong a visit last week. The students are from Sekolah Menengah Pengiran Anak Putri Hjh Masna, Sekolah Menengah Sayyidina Hasan, Sekolah Menengah SMJA, Maktab SOAS, Sekolah Menengah Berakas, Sekolah Menengah Lambak Kiri and Sekolah Menengah Sultan Sharif Ali.
The purpose of the field trip is to acknowledge the Secondary Five students the options they have to further their studies after sitting their GCE ‘O’ Level examinations. This trip is also proposed to familiarize the students with the courses Micronet International College offers. |

| During the field trip, Orellie Fe Roxas, the College lecturer and Ehra Hussin, the Sales and Marketing Executive, accompanied the students from their respective schools to Micronet College. During the journey, some fun activities were organized for the students. This believed has helped in building rapport among the students and the College staff. |

As a complimentary, the students were given a workshop on Microsoft FrontPage 2003 where they learnt to make their own webpage from scratch. They were given hands-on training using the computers individually in one of the College computer laboratories. The workshop was run by Orellie Fe Roxas.
Mr Johnny Lim, a teacher from Sekolah Menengah Berakas who joined along the trip said, “The students gained a lot from this field trip as now they know there is a computer school in Brunei in which they can go to if they want to advance their computer skills. Other than that, this field trip lets them know the different channel they can take after taking their ‘O’ Level Exams”. |
