Junior Innovate Sarawak State Final 2025

SK Trusan proudly took part in the Junior Innovate Sarawak State Final on 25 & 26 September 2025. Guess what? We were the only rural school in the entire competition – standing tall among all the other teams!

Our young innovators, Ahmad Idham and Afi Khairi Danish, gave it their all. They worked super hard, polishing up their project before the big day. And when it came to presentation time… wow! They absolutely nailed it – hands down the best, most confident presentation I’ve ever seen.

Although we didn’t manage to grab a spot in the Top 3 (and miss the chance to go to Nationals in Penang), I couldn’t be prouder of these two. They showed heart, skill, and courage – and that’s a win in my book.
