As the Head Committee of SYAFEST 2025, I look back at this journey with deep pride and gratitude. It all began in October 2024, when a few of us from the Student Council sat down and asked a big question: What should SYAFEST mean this year? After many discussions and debates, we chose the theme “EMPOWER WELLNESS” with the slogan “Step into Wellness, Step into Joy”, reflecting our desire to promote physical and mental well-being in our community. We then began forming a committee of over 164 students from various grade levels, both upper and lower secondary students.
From the very beginning, the process was anything but easy—building structure, delegating tasks, managing expectations—but we kept going. Before the main festival, we hosted four major “Road to SYAFEST” events: Syakifa 2024, Grand Reunion, Syafana 5K & 10K Run, and Tabligh Akbar. These events helped us connect with alumni, promote health, and uplift our spiritual well-being.
Behind the scenes, we faced countless challenges—difficulty securing sponsors, scheduling conflicts, technical issues, and the pressure of balancing our responsibilities as students. But what always kept me strong, positive, and grounded through it all was my committee, and especially my core team. They were more than just teammates—they were my support system. Even during the most stressful moments, they stood by me, encouraged me, and reminded me why we started this in the first place. I’ll never forget the late-night calls, the last-minute brainstorms, the laughter, and even the tears we shared—those are the moments that truly carried me through.
Then came the SYAFEST week, 19th–26th April 2025, where our school transformed into something magical. I’ll never forget the surreal moment when the Chairman of the MPR attended our Opening Ceremony—it was a powerful recognition of what we had built. leadership, teamwork, and resilience. Being a part of it and leading it was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.
    And at the ClosingCeremony, the energy was unforgettable. Before our two major guest stars took the stage, the spotlight first belonged to our very own students and teachers, whose performances lit up the atmosphere with pride, talent, and heart.Seeing our internal band and performers owning the stage in front of such a huge crowd was a reminder of just how much talent lives within our school. Then, to end it all,
Geisha and Difki Khalif brought the house down with unforgettable performances that left the entire audience singing, cheering, and dancing. SYAFEST 2025 wasn’t just a festival—it was a lesson in
 
And as the lights went down on Closing Night, I knew this wasn’t just the end of an event—it was the beginning of a legacy.
