Hari Raya Celebration

First official event of the semester!

On 7th August 2016, BASS held a Hari Raya Celebration which was attended by almost 100 BASS members. The Guests of Honour for that event was Cg Pg Noor Shah, the Director of Studies of EAUC, Brunei Darussalam High Commission and spouse.

The event started with the recital of Al-Fatihah led by BASS Male RO, followed with all attendees singing the national anthem of "Allah Peliharakan Sultan". Welcoming remarks were then given by the BASS President and a speech by the Guest of Honour himself. The event was made even more livelier with performances from the students. The celebration ended with the prize giving ceremony of Best Male Dress and Best Female Dress. Potluck refreshments were then served to all.

This event also marked the first time the new BASS members attended a BASS-organised event here in Sydney. The new BASS members were also introduced to the seniors as well as the parents of BASS - Uncle Hj Saini, Aunt Zetty Hamid, Abg Eddy Hassan, Kaka Sabrina and Anna Saleha (daughter of Abg Eddy and Kaka Sabrina).

Deepest appreciation from BASS committee to everyone who attended the event and willing to provide food to be shared with everyone.

Arrival of New Students!

PCE 6th Intake students from UTB departed from Brunei Darussalam to Sydney, Australia in batches on 15th July, 18th July, 20th July, 21st July and 22nd July by using RBA and Qantas/Virgin Australia flights.

Altogether there were 66 new students - the largest batch ever of PCE! These new students will continue their remaining 2 years of degree programmes at UNSW, Australia after completing their first 2 years at UTB, Brunei.

The students were welcomed by the seniors at Domestic Terminal Airport and then they were brought around the University and the nearby shopping center to sort out the necessities.

Alhamdullilah, as of today, after 2 weeks in Sydney, all 66 students have got an accommodation (16 houses in total!) and hopefully have settled down and accommodated to Sydney lifestyle.

WELCOME TO AUSTRALIA AND CONGRATULATIONS!

Majlis Junjung Ziarah ke Hadapan KDYMM Bersama Pelajar-Pelajar dan Rakyat di Australia

Bismillahirrahmannirrahim.

Assalamualaikum.

Alhamdulillah, a total of 71 Sydneysiders made it to Canberra to meet His Majesty at Hyatt Hotel on Wednesday, 1 May 2013. It was a one-day event, that stretched from 1pm until around 3.30pm. We were asked to meet at the hotel as early as 9am in the morning, as we were required to do some rehearsals prior to His Majesty's arrival. Alhamdulillah, things went pretty well that day. We were very delighted to see how happy His Majesty was to spend some time with us here in Australia. Let's have a look at how the Sydneysiders behaved during the event! Hohoho!

Before we knew it, it was time to leave Canberra for Sydney already:( I must say, Canberra was breathtakingly beautiful. Masya Allah. And Alhamdulillah, all the matters during our trip were made easy. We finally got to meet our just and wise ruler of Brunei.. Alhamdulillah:)

Thank you Dk Aqilah, Yusri and Lin Siew for the pics:) Good job dear photographers!
