St Michael's Rest Room

Michaelians jump for joy upon learning that we emerged champion under the Kinta Utara Education Department "Best Toilet Competition".

We are now vying for the inter-district category.

Congratulations fellow Michaelians. You have made St Michael's, once again, the talk of the town.

In the spirit of giving. More than 200 Form Six Michaelians turned up in drove to offer the most precious gift which is beyond monetary worth and materialistic advantage - blood.

Form Six students happily waiting for their turn to donate blood.

 Spirit of Service - A Form Six student donating blood.

Thank you for your courage and service above self.

Pavilion Given A Spruce Up

Spirit of Service - boys busy painting the pavilion. 

Many have not realised that the Adrian Tsen Pavilion, located at the right wing of the school block, is a decade old this year. It was officially opened on January 25, 2002 by OMA president Mr Adrian Tsen to mark the 90th anniversary of St Michael's, an occasion witnessed by the then Brother Visitor Brother Peter Foo, Brother Vincent Corkery and the chairman of the Board of Governors Tan Sri Lee Oi Hian. That auspicious day also saw the launching of St Michael's official school ties (this means the current ties worn by our present Michaelians are also a decade old).
The dedication of the pavilion to a notable old boy was to honour the immense contributions and solid dedication of Mr Adrian Tsen to SMI. Its simplicity in design and practicality to students reflect a loving reminder of his attachment and close partnership with the school.
Last week, a group of Form Two students led by En Zulkarnain Daud gave the pavilion a coat of paint. It was tedious but they got the job done perfectly, much to the amazement of the blogger who offered the boys praises and salutations.
With lighting fixed and a brand new look, the pavilion will faithfully serve fellow Michaelians in many, many more years to come.

A love for the alma mater. "Come To Learn, Leave To Serve"

Rest In Peace, Master Noel Oliveiro

Monday, July 30, 2012 was a day of sadness for thousands of Michaelians who mourned the passing of a dear teacher, mentor and friend. The school observed a moment of silence as a mark of respect for Master Noel.

Boys line up infront of the school as a mark of respect when the hearse passes by St Michael's at exactly 1.40pm on July 30, 2012.

Prefects were at St Michael's Church to bid farewell.

Michaelian Military Band members were there to lend support 

Farewell but never forgotten...

Our deepest condolence to Mr Noel's family.
From,
All Michaelians

A Letter From An Old Michaelian

By Rohan Marshall, Petaling Jaya (The Star, July 30, 2012)

 

I SUPPOSE it had to happen some day. The seemingly immortal person of Noel d’Oliveiro (pic) has passed on to a better place.
Noel holds a very special place in the hearts of thousands of those who studied under him or played hockey under him at St Michael’s Institution (SMI) Ipoh or the Main Convent.
He was a teacher and coach who made many feel important, no matter how rich or poor we were.
He subliminally inculcated human values in us, not by incessantly preaching to bored ears, but by inspiring us on the hockey field.
He taught us punctuality by always being one of the first on the field. We wanted to come early just so that we could spend a few extra moments with this adult who made us kids feel so important.
He taught us patience by never losing control, no matter how unfair the conduct of the referee or opposing players.
He taught us that great persons and teams can be built by inspiration and hard work rather than by intimidation.
He taught us the value of dignity and character by standing tall both in victory and failure on the pitch.
He taught us courage by playing on without complaining, no matter how badly his back hurt.
He taught us muhibah, to rise above our race and religion and love each other equally. To enjoy each other.
He taught us generosity, by always having time to share with us, even the quietest and most unattractive of us.
I was a quiet, gawky kid trying to get along in a tough world. Noel slowly, gently and steadily helped build up my confidence and courage.
I thought I was the only one who was special to him, who needed his help to bring out my own specialness.
When I grew up and looked back, I realised how many countless others he did the same for. And we all felt individually special.
Master Noel, as you move on, we celebrate your life, and your place in our hearts.
