"Sabah is commonly known as the land under the wind, with a mild climate and a year-round climate; there is a lot of rain and fertile land, which is suitable for growing all kinds of fruits.
“At the same time, in order to increase the students' awareness and understanding of various types of agricultural products, different types of vegetables and fruits are grown on the campus which include durian, papaya, passion fruit, pepper, rambutan, avocado, sugar cane, mango, cherry, star fruit , mangosteen, Dutch durian, guava, apple, grapefruit, coconut, langsat, jackfruit, banana, pumpkin, chili, tomato, Spanish pear and many more”, said Mr. Lim Kiat Kong during the school orchard launch ceremony today.

Furthermore, they also hope that the greening and beautifying of the campus, environmental protection and planting of fruits and vegetables at the school orchard can further increase the students’ interests and drive the school’s related club and extra-curricular activities. For example, the students can plant the fruits, vegetables and flowers, and sell them to visitors or public. They can also practise in leading a tour around the orchard and introducing the agricultural products to the visitors. These can help to enhance the students' awareness, interest and participation in the agriculture and tourism industry in the future.
