Rajasekaran and Mr Thanesh explain decide you career. Both of them representing
their stream, which is ARTS and SCIENCE. The slot is on the arts and science
stream as the PMR examinations is the
remarks of beginning of their life. Their career is decided on what stream they
choose after this examinations. The students must have the right mindset, clear
view on each stream. The slots talks on the subjects taken in each of the
stream, the career they can choose in it, the challenges on it and so on.

that we had help out the students in their physical preparation as well as
emotional preparation. What we refer as physical preparation is the guidance on
how to tackle the questions and the mental part is on how they prepare for the
examinations mentally. When a student is sitting for examinations, all he need
is earlier preparation on the subjects and as well as guidance and courage from
people around him especially his parents. Parents’s understandings, courage, motivation will help
them to conquer the examinations and the stress. The chief guest had been invited to award the
certificate of participants who attended
the seminar. The closing ceremony is followed by High Tea for the chief
guest, guest, parents and students.
