In this slot, two team members, Mr Thivagar Rajasekaran and Mr Thanesh plays their jobs well. 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.

Slots with parents was a nice one as with this slots, we believe 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. Before concluding the day, a token of appreciation was given to Mr Ellamaran from Yayasan MyNadi,
