SCSC Team Building Redang 2010

For 3 days and 3 nights, 22 students from Sunway University College were away from home. Destination: Redang Island, Terengganu. The objective of the trip was for Team Building. While there, games such as volley ball and soccer were played and snorkeling trips were ventured.



It took us 9 hours on the bus to get to the port and a further 1 hour on the ferry to reach the island itself. But it was well worth it. Although we were tired from the journey, the moment we got there we couldn’t wait to jump into the water. Most of the time spent there was spent on the beach, and all 22 of us returned with a healthy tan.

Redang Island has always been known for its clear water and diverse marine life which are just waiting for tourists to visit. Even though there were reports of “coral bleaching” prior to the trip, the underwater views were still spectacular. The views ranged from the sighting of the 7 foot long fish which we were unable to identify, to even clown fish (more commonly known as “Nemo”).


Our home away from home was Redang Lagoon Chalet. The accommodation, even though not as we expected, covered the basic needs. After all, we did not go there to sit in the room the whole day. The rooms were just to bathe and sleep in. The meals provided were the usual basic chicken and fish dishes. We even got a BBQ meal on our first night there.

All in all, the trip was a great joy to all who went. Great thanks to CPA Australia, without whom the trip would not have been possible

Sunway Meets Swinburne (Sarawak)

Date: 6 July 2010
Venue: CPA Australia, The Gardens South Tower, Mid Valley City

From the 5th of July to the 7th, a group of 39 students from Swinburne University of Technology, Sarawak Campus CPA Australia Student Charter (SSCASC) paid a visit to KL. During these 3 days, the students were brought on company visits around Kuala Lumpur to many different potential future employers.

On the 2nd day, CPA organized a networking session between these members of SSCASC with the committee members of students from local colleges. Sunway University College CPA Student Charter (SCSC) was glad to have been invited and given the privilege of participating in this activity. It was an opportunity to get to know our fellow students from other student charters across the South China Sea. Also a part of the gathering ware representatives from Taylors University College and Multimedia University Cyberjaya.

During the gathering, the president of SSCASC, Edina, gave a presentation about the activities of the club. SSCASC is one of the largest student charters in Malaysia consisting of over 200 students as members. They are also one of the most active student charters.
Over lunch, the students present mingled amongst one another and exchanged contacts.
It was a great opportunity and one that will surely result in future collaborations amongst the 4 institutions present.

We would like to thank CPA Australia for organizing this activity and for inviting SCSC to be a part of it. We look forward to the next network gathering and to working together with other student charters. After all, we are a networking club.

SCSC Get-Together Night 2010

The SCSC Get Together Night was held on the 30th of April at the Students Services Department from 5.30 pm to 8.30pm. Approximately 30 participants turned up, the majority of them being CPA passport members. The event started at six, with a welcoming note and the introduction of the committees. It then proceeded with brief opening speeches by Ms Irene Teoh and the CPA representative, Ms. Kuan Leong.


Khor Jia Na, being the ex-president and Dr. Foo Yin Fah, founder of SCSC were the remarkable guests hosting the sharing session. Additionally, participants had the opportunity to ask questions that were promptly replied by the formers.


Ms Suhana was then called upon to present tokens of appreciation to our distinguished persons.

After the sharing session, participants were divided into groups of ten based on their registration number. The first game conducted was Pictionary, whereby each group’s representative had to draw an item that had to be guessed by members from their group, otherwise the points were to be attributed to their counterpart groups.
The second game was an eco-friendly one. Groups were given cans, newspapers, balloons, bottles and strings to come up with anything related to the theme ‘Fashion’ within 6 minutes!
Hereunder are the committees preparing for the game...
As follows are the different teams =)
Eventually, the representatives cat walked to display their group’s deed, that was judged by Jia Na. Indubitably, the most creative group went away with prizes, not to mention that a lucky draw was subsequently conducted.
And here they are the four representatives !!!!! Truly creative indeed!
Finally, free food and refreshments were served to all the participants. No wonder, networking had room for itself as each and every one went off with at least one more friend...

You are very hospitable girls!!! =) Well done!
