KUALA LUMPUR – The Board of Governors of SMK Assunta will host the Governors’ Ball 2025, a black-tie fundraising gala, on Sunday, Aug 10 at The Majestic Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.
The event aims to celebrate the school’s rich legacy and galvanise support for its future. It will bring together alumni, educators, parents, and supporters for an evening of reflection, reconnection, and renewed commitment to the school’s mission.
The programme will begin with cocktails at 6.00pm, followed by a formal dinner at 8.00pm. Guests can expect heartfelt tributes, inspiring stories, and opportunities to contribute to Assunta’s continued pursuit of educational excellence.
A key highlight of the evening will be a special tribute to Assunta’s founding pioneers — Datin Paduka Sister Enda Ryan, FMM; Sister Letitia Yang, FMM and Sister Jane Koh, FMM — whose vision and dedication laid the foundation for generations of Assuntarians.
Fundraising efforts will take place through tiered table donations ranging from RM3,500 to RM10,000, with only 80 tables available.
Individual seats are also available at RM350 per person. Bookings can be made at: https://tinyurl.com/3u5pn627.
Additional contributions, including corporate sponsorships and lucky draw prizes, are also welcomed.
“As a mission school with limited government support, SMK Assunta depends on the generosity of the community to fund infrastructure upgrades, tuition aid, learning resources, and other essential needs,” said Dato’ Kathleen Chew, Chairperson of the Board of Governors. “We invite all who share in Assunta’s values of integrity, service, and unity to join us in shaping a better future for our students.”
Peggy Liu, Fundraising Chairperson, added, “Let’s bring Assunta back to academic excellence. Assunta Spirit Alive!”
