STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF PROGRAMME

All the activities were carried out successfully. Every teacher gave full support and commitment. It was a success. However, there were strengths and weaknesses in the activities. The strengths were all the teachers gave support and commitment towards the activities. The teachers contribute their time and energies to make sure the activities went smoothly. The school also gave some hands by handling the equipments such as P.A system and also prizes. School administrators also gave support when they allowed the activities to carry out during the assembly periods. They also spent time to come and join to watch the competition. The weaknesses that were found out were about the quality of the P.A system and the sponsorships.

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

We hope the school will improve to better quality especially during the school activities where there was pupils participation. The second thing that appears was the sponsorship from the PIBG. We hope to receive the support from the PIBG in any school activity. This is to enhance pupils interests towards the activities. The attraction of the prizes given will make the

pupils eager to join the activities. In other hands, it will make them love English language and interested to contribute in English activity.

CONCLUSION
It is hoped that all the activities carried out by English Club 2010 will benefit the pupils especially the members of it. The English club committees and members hope for better improvement for next year and make use of all the efforts meaningfully.
