The Adventure Club was first formed in PTE-Berakas and has now spread its wings to PTE-Katok and PTE-Meragang. In PTE-Katok, the Adventure Club is currently one of the school's most prestigious bodies and has also proved popular among the students for its fun activities.

On June 17 and before the second term holidays started, the Adventure Club of PTE-Katok held a charity sale with its theme of 'Buying to Donate'. The club managed to gain a total profit of $577.80, which will all be donated to PTE-Katok's orphan students.

During the second term holidays, PTE-Katok's Adventure Club also held an Extreme Challenge, which was quite similar to TV's Amazing Race, and its Top Three winners were presented with trophies and certificates.

The Adventure Club's latest activity was camping at Hutan Simpanan Berakas on June 19 and 20. Its objective was to strengthen the bonds among members of the Adventure Club and two teachers were in charge of the programme.

Additional activities included cleaning up the area and Berakas Beach. After all the hard teamwork, the participants treated themselves by watching the beautiful sunset together. The next day, the Adventure Club's Planner Committee also prepared games that aimed to improve the players' time management, level of awareness and also mutual respect for each other.

Extreme Challenge (part 2)

More pictures on extreme challenge.












































































Details on each check points.

The 1st challenge, the participants were given five water bottles, and in one of those five had a mark under it's cap. We had to choose the bottle with that marked cap. If we fail to do so, the participants must drink all the water before they can advance to the other bottles until they find that marked cap. The Heroes downed 4 bottles before being able to advance to the next challenge.

The second challenge was a fairly easy one. Participants must find coloured balloons in the sandpit. Once found, they must blow the balloon until it pops.

The third challenge was fairly devious, a seven lap challenge around the track. But this challenge was eased as one participant can finish off one lap, while the other participant can endure the other, totaling the laps to two laps and so on and so forth.

Fourth challenge was a relaxed challenge. Participants must construct a structure that would be strong enough to hold five bags of marbles. The Heroes constructed a table consisting mainly of straws and duck tape.

The fifth challenge was a test of endurance. Participants were asked to crawl under the ropes in the pouring rain and the muddy surface. Once completed, they had to do ten sets of push-ups, sit-ups, Vs, star jumps and other army-style exercises.

Sixth challenge was an easy task, participants were given a rod which had a string attached at the end tied up with a wooden stick. Using this rod, they must carefully insert the wooden stick into the bottle and hopefully the stick would hook the bottle when pulled up. Then participants must run with the hooked bottle for about a distance of 200m.

Then advanced to the seventh challenge. This challenge was to find five orange flags which were hidden in the classroom blocks. each group were given fifteen minutes to find them before we were given the clue.

Eighth challenge was located at the grandstand. Our objective was to find seven colour papers. In each paper contained a letter which once the participants had found them all, had they have to figure out the word from those seven letters.

The ninth challenge, the second last challenge. The objective is to place your hand inside the covered up box and find five marbles. Each contestant must find one which are different coloured from the other chosen ones picked by the other member of the team. The only twist to this challenge is that the box was crawling with insects.

The tenth and final challenge. One of the unfavorable challenge. This challenge tested mainly on general knowledge. One member of the group must go up to the top floor of block D and answer a multiple choice question. If they answer correctly, they must go back down and the next member must come up to answer the question. They must do this until they have all five correct answers. If they do not answer correctly they must wear a rucksack and carry it down and give it to the next member until they get the question correct.
