<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">In conjunction with their annual
school sports day on June 21 and in support of the upcoming London Olympics,
the Senior Methodist Girls School of Kuala Lumpur (MGSKL) or better known as
SMK (P) Methodist Kuala Lumpur organized an Olympism Week to develop and raise
the spirit of Olympism among teachers and students. Emphasizing on the values of Excellence,
Friendship and Respect, the school Principal Mdm. Phoon Yoke Meng who believes
strongly in Olympic Education delivered a motivating and encouraging speech to
launch the Olympism Week addressing all students to instil and practice the
Olympic Creed which reads “The most important thing in life is not the triumph,
but the fight; the essential thing is not to have won, but to have fought
well”.</span><br />

Throughout the week, a series of
exciting activities and programs were organized to attract and stimulate
students’ interest to find out more about the Olympic Games; it’s history,
athletes and most importantly the essence of good values. To reach out to the students more effectively,
five outstanding MGSKL students who excelled in sports, extra-curricular
activities and studies were nominated as Olympism Ambassadors to inspire their
peers and juniors. They assisted during
the workshops and acted as guides in the library where a mini Olympics and
Youth Olympics exhibition was set up. Olympics
themed poster, notice board and essay competitions were also conducted.</div>

</tbody></table>GAMBANG: A total of 137 teachers from six Wesley Methodist Schools (Five secondary and one primary school) were introduced to Olympism and Olympic Education.<br />
<br />
The teachers, who gathered in Bukit Gambang Resort City for the annual Wesley Methodist School Teachers’ Conference organized by the Methodist Education Council, were receptive to the information presented to them by the Pierre de Coubertin Society of Malaysia (PCSM) entitled “Olympism and Character Building”. <br />
<br />
The three hour session on March 12th was divided into two parts; the first part was the introduction to Olympism and the second part, a group discussion using the Open Space Technology on how to implement Olympic Education in their schools. <br />

For the first part, the teachers watched videos and were informed about the founder, principles and values of Olympism by speaker, Nicholas Chan who is also the Vice-President of PCSM. After imparting them with the basic grounds of Olympism, the teachers were then triggered to initiate a group discussion using the Open Space Technology method. Topics like “Religion and Olympism”, “Physical Education and Olympism” and “ICT and Olympism” were sparked and the teachers brainstormed on how to get the message of Olympism through to their students. Each group subsequently presented the outcome of their discussion.<br />

</tbody></table><br />
At the end of the session, a survey was distributed and one of the questions asked was “Do you think that Olympism can be integrated into the school syllabus?”. 97% of the teachers answered “Yes”. When asked how would they describe the relevance of Olympism in a child’s upbringing, Cik Nur Natasha Bt Muhamad Rani, a Mathematics teacher from the Wesley Methodist School in Seremban wrote “It teaches the child to recognize the values of life through sports.” while Mr. Au Yong San from the Wesley Methodist School in Melaka who teaches Geography and Art commented, “It would inculcate the spirit of perseverance, tolerance, patience, competitiveness, cooperation and comradeship.”.<br />
<br />
This was the first time that PCSM was approaching teachers about Olympism and it proved to be a success as the teachers found Olympic Education to be relevant in the promotion of a balanced and holistic development of a child. <br />
<br />
Out of the six schools that participated, two principals have already expressed their interest to organize an Olympism Outreach Program in their schools.<br />

</tbody></table>CHERAS: Reality shows “The Amazing Race” and “The Amazing Race Asia” inspired the Pierre de Coubertin Society of Malaysia (PCSM) to organize an “Amazing Race” of their own. With a request that came from the Penggerak Belia Tempatan (PeBT) Zon 10, Majlis Perbandaran Kajang (MPKj) to organize a one day event for the community youth, the Coubertanians as they call themselves, designed the “Olympism Amazing Race”. <br />
<br />
The “Olympism Amazing Race” was held in Padang Jalan Damai Perdana 1/5e, Bandar Damai Perdana on December 19th, 2010. Registration began at 9.00am and about 25 youth from the surrounding community participated. <br />
<br />
A short aerobics session started the event off followed by an ice breaking session to introduce every participant to each other. The organizers and volunteers also joined in the fun. The volunteers of this event were students from SMK (P) Methodist KL who participated in the Olympism Outreach Program (O2P) last month.<br />

They expressed that it was very enjoyable and they learned how to work as a team and the activities encouraged them to interact and communicate more. Some even said that they managed to make new friends. Unanimously, they all agreed that the program should be held every year and the knowledge be shared with other forms as well.<br />

In an interview conducted after the program, a student said “I am very happy that such a program exists. I learned a lot from it especially the Olympics that I never knew about before this; things like the Olympic Truce. I hope that this program will be conducted again next year because it is very good and helpful.” <br />
Accolades about the program were also received by the Principal of MGSKL, Pn. Phoon Yoke Meng. She too agreed that the program was very beneficial to her students as it encouraged them to think out of the box, build confidence and promote values which are important to mould them into better human beings. She recommends that this program be organized in other schools as well and would like the program to be held again next year in MGSKL. <br />

Extra-Curricular Senior Assistant, Ms. Low Mai Keok said, “Sport and Physical Education has lost its importance in schools. This program proves that sport is more than just about competition. It is about ethics. Values like fairplay and respect are essential to a child’s character building.”<br />
<br />
The closing ceremony was attended by Mr. MP Haridas, President of the Gymnastics Association of Kuala Lumpur who also is the advisor to PCSM and Ms. Tay Choon Neo, Deputy Executive Director of the Methodist Council of Education.<br />
