Good morning to our principal, teachers and fellow students. Welcome to the new school term. I am Amirul Ashraf Mohamad, the head prefect of SMK Raja Long. This morning, I would like to refresh your memory about our school regulations especially regarding attire and conduct.

To create a good impression, always be dressed neatly in your school uniform complete with white shoes and white socks. Don’t forget to wear your school badge and name tag.

Your hair should be short and neatly combed. Boys should always keep their hair short. Girls are allowed to keep long hair but it should always be neatly combed and tied. No one is allowed to wear jewellery. If you do, then your jewellery will be confiscated. In addition, you cannot use make-up. Your nails should always be kept short. Remember, no nail polish is allowed.

Regarding your conduct, always be punctual. Respect your teacher and pay attention in class. Remember, no loitering around and playing truant. If you don’t comply with the school rules, you will have to face the music.

Last term, several students were suspended or expelled from school for fighting, smoking and other serious offences. Handphones are banned. If you bring handphones, they will be confiscated. 

These regulations are meant to create a positive image and environment for the school. There are, of course, some black sheep who will break the regulations. Do not be influenced by them. Instead, set a good example for others.

Please keep in your mind all my notes on how to be the best student who aware with school regulations all the time. I think I have to stop here. I hope you have found my talk helpful. Thank you for listening attentively. Thank you very much.
