Two 16 year-old girls have won
all-paid trips to the United Kingdom after winning a video
contest run by the British Council.
It was a dream come true for Rina
Hamzah Rahmad and Siti Reyhanah Haji Yakob to hear their names
announced as the winners of the ‘Real UK Competition’. The
announcement was made by the Director of the British Council in
Brunei, Amanda Griffiths.
The competition required the
participants to produce a brief video presentation of not more
than three minutes. The footage contained their personal
introduction, their current studies and aspirations for higher
education and careers as well as their impressions of the United
Kingdom. |

For Rina Hamzah, a student of the
Duli Pengiran Muda Al-Muhtadee Billah College, the trip will
provide an opportunity to pursue her studies in English
Literature, as the course is readily available in the UK.
Siti Reyhanah, the other lucky
winner, hopes the visit will give her a clearer picture of the
UK, before she makes a decision to further her studies there.
Both girls will leave for the
United Kingdom on Friday. The emphasis of the tour is on
exploring educational opportunities through visits to
universities and business centres. They will join 24 winners
from other countries.
