Photo Hunters – Free

When i first saw the theme for this week, i knew i needn’t look any further but to feature my secondary school known as Penang Free School
The word free there doesn’t imply that the students study there for free but it was to show that the school is opened to all students of different religion or belief.
Here’s a brief description of my school taken from Wikipedia:
Penang Free School is the oldest English School in Malaysia and the South East Asia region. The school founded by Rev. Sparke Hutchings in the year 1816 on October 21st., is located on the island of Penang, Malaysia. The Motto of the school is Fortis Atque Fidelis (pronounced for ‘tiz ud’ kway fi’ deliz) which is a Latin phrase for Strong and Faithful.
For more information: Penang Free School
Have a great weekend everyone








I like the motto of your old school. Strong and Faithful, 2 very powerful and meaningful words
If I didn’t read further into your post, I might just have thought F-O-C school
Strong and faithful, words that mean so much. Thank you for sharing about your school, its like the school of my eldest daughter, they have different religions (with different teachers) and they have children with special needs. Talk about diversity.
Have a great weekend!

Very nice take on the theme!! happy PH
Looks like it is a really good school to be in.
Happy Weekend.
yeah Penang Free School was very famous since last time until now. Then you should be proud of yourself then you were Penang Free School student
Wahseh. I didn’t expect this coming from you. @.@ But I’ve always like the field of PFS. So damn BIG!
Now I know you are from PFS… haha. When I was a kid, I always thought that the school gave everything from books to food for free. I was wrong. Nothing’s FREE in there
Please do check out my photos at FREE as in FREE in Criz’s Sanctuary and FREE as in FREEDOM in Insight Criz. Have a nice weekend!
I have always been partial to non-sectarian schools.
Ooo… that is your school…
I have done mine.

Good schools should be free to all
Wow, I think I read about that school a while back. Great choice.
That’s interesting! I thought it’s a free of tuition fees:) Nice one!
Neat choice!
That’s a great picture… nice take on the theme of “FREE”.
No trouble for you this weekend. An old and venerable school to be sure. Have a great weekend.
Wonderful choice for The Hunt. Fits our free theme perfectly.
wish i could sent my nephew there cause he’s not doing well in his english..huhu..
Sounds like a great school! Nice choice for the Hunt!
Penang Free School. Oh yes.. I’ve read about it from my history textbook (=
And whoa! Your school is just a few steps away from Giant Hypermarket (=
Wonderful take on the theme.
I wish all schools were as free as yours.
Happy Weekend!
This is very cool and a great take on the theme!
excellent choice for the theme
Ah..my grandad taught there a long time ago…
Thanks for the memories!

Perfect choice! Nice to learn about your old school.
wow! that’s a nice school. wish we have that one here in my country.
hope you can check out my entries when you have the time. it’s here, here, here, and here. thanks!
o, u went to PFS.
i know a couple of guys from there.
Good choice.
My ‘free’ photo is shared…come by and visit —it’s there for your viewing, for ‘free’. Oops, no I guess not –it’s costing money to use the computer of yours and being online. Oh well, if you’ve not stopped by my photo hunt this week, please come on by for a visit, if you can!!!
Funny….aren’t all schools open to students of different religion or belief?
3POINT8: back in the early 19 century the english schools were only meant for the Britains and children of high ranking officers
so this school was opened to give equal opportunity to everyone
Oldest! Wow. Thanks for sharing some facts and a photo of your school. Schools should indeed be open for all despite race, religion, status…
Anyway, I’m asking something for free- your vote. Have the details in my blog. Thanks and have a wonderful weekend.
I’m from Malaysia and heard of that school but never knew what it meant. Thanks for the info on PFS.
now thats something to be proud of, nice one, it’s perfect for today’s theme
Mine is up!

Wow, that is a good spirited school. There should not be any discrimination in schools where this is the future of our generation to seek their education.
Good take for this week’s theme! Well done

So, you are from PFS. No doubt it’s a great name. But, nothing is free in it! hahaha….
Nice take on the theme.
