This program/event is organized by a group of students who called themselves as SMIOB (St. Michael’s Institution Ipoh Old Boys). Since it’s inception in 2008, lot of activities were held such as futsal, badminton, blood donation and old boys’ gatherings. We have our own website; http://smioldboys.blogspot.com and our e mail is smi_oldboys@yahoo.com. Our members are mostly from those who are active in using internet and we use to communicate through online. Our motto is THROUGH SPORTS AND CULTURE WE UNITE.

An OLD BOYS WEEKEND is a give back to school program. A charity based program in which the old boys especially the sportsman who had contributed to the SMI sports achievement in those days come back to school and playing games with the current students. This is the second year of the program after unprecedented last year’s program. We received well response from those who were unable to attend the first program last year and they had pledge to come to school for this year OLD BOYS WEEKEND.

For this year event, the old boys who attend the event are required to pay registration fee of RM10.00 as a contribution to sponsor the cost of the event and payable upon registration.

We work together hand in hand and we stand by each other, the school and the old boys to face the obstacles in front of us to achieve success in the future. And we hope with more old boys come forward to join us; SMIOB can be a registered alumni association in the future and to be an alternative for the old boys to be in alumni community and to give their best to the development of their alma mater.
