It’s worth mentioning that Dhaanniya’s win is the third consecutive victory for SK Subang Jaya for the national-level Poetry Recitation in the primary school category.

Dhaanniya is an avid reader and often spends her spare time enjoying fantasy books such as Harry Potter and Percy Jackson novels, and is also passionate about mathematics and science. She’s expressed interest in becoming a veterinarian when she grows up.

The Poetry Recitation competition was part of the MOE’s Karnival Perpaduan Bahasa Inggeris 2020 where participants were asked to recite a poem around the theme of “One for All, All for One.”

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, judging took place through assessments of either recorded video submissions or live performances via Google Meet. Dhaanniya’s hard-working attitude has played a huge role in her success throughout the competition.

Well done, Dhaanniya Mary Andrew! We look forward to more amazing and great accomplishments from you.
