The RRSS had once again triumphed in this year’s event, jointly hosted by the Education Department and SMK Lopeng Tengah and was staged at Pustaka Miri recently.
For the divisional ‘Komsas Drama Competition 2018’, the school clinched many top awards through its play entitle ‘Bukan Gila’ (Not Crazy).
