School Session 2015 Reopening Postponed

The  Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin today announced the postponement of the start of the 2015 school session for the whole country by one week because of the floods in several states.  Some schools have been flooded or are being used as evacuation centres. As of last night, the Education Ministry found that 340 schools from seven states are affected by the floods. With the postponement, schools in Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu and Johor will now reopen on January 11 instead of January 4 and those in the other states will reopen on Jan 12 instead of January 5.

The postponement of the start of the 2015 school session by a week due to the floods does not require schools to replace these school days, said Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

"There is no necessity to replace those days as the schooling period is sufficient. It is not a case of providing additional school holidays. We had to postpone the session due to a specific problem," he said.

He said the postponement was also to allow teachers, parents and students who were affected by floods to recover and prepare for school.

State news agency Bernama reported the flood situation in Kelantan remained critical with the number of evacuees rising to 134,139 at the relief centres last night against the 124,966 yesterday afternoon.

2015 A Letter to Parents

Dear Parents,

Salam.  May you be in the best of health and iman.

School will start on Monday, 5 January 2015.  We are sure that you are busy preparing their children foe school.  Kindergarten is where your child will receive his first formal learning.  The “first day of school” is a great milestone for your child and we understand that you and your child may have met this day with excitement or apprehension (or a little of both).

 As a team and as individuals, our first priority is your child’s education and well-being.  We will work methodically to see that each child receives the greatest benefits of our educational program, insya Allah.  

Regardless  of  the  experience  and  expertise of the teachers, research shows that the biggest and most important factor in a child’s school success is the involvement of the PARENTS in daily school experiences.  We urge you to become involved by helping your child   with  homework  and  projects,   attending  school  meetings,   parenting  talks,  volunteering  in  school  activities,    talking  with  your  child  about  his  or  her  school  experiences, and participating in your child’s education daily.  Your involvement, interest, and enthusiasm will help make this a wonderful year of growth for you and your child.

Learning must continue from school to home.  That's where parents, 'YOU'  play a major role in ensuring this continuity of learning.  Be a 'teacher' and a 'model' at home to reinforce the learning and to build the character of your child to be a good Muslim.

We make doa that all the knowledge or ‘ilmu’ given to your child will be blessed by Allah SWT and be the foundation of excellence in the character & education of your child.  Amin.

Jazakumullahu khair khathiraa

Visit To The Fire Station

Every year, when it comes to the theme 'FIRE & SAFETY' , a visit to the Fire Station is a must.  Because they are different children, the excitement is always there.  The officers at the Fire Station were ever so kind and entertaining to the children.   The children had a wonderful and an unforgettable  experience.

Indian Cultural Day

We learned about the Indian culture and one of the most important event to the Indians ie Deepavali or Diwali.  We learned the traditional costumes, the food and how Deepavali is celebrated.  To make this learning an exciting and a memorable experience, we encouraged the children to don Indian costumes, packed Indian food for break time, learned some Indian dance movements as we listen to Indian songs, learned some common expressions and looked at videos on how and why Indians celebrate Deepavali.  the children also made greeting cards to our Indian friend - Rushini.

EYES CHECK

As part of 'Healthy Body' program, we invited the officers from the optometry department of Miri General Hospital to check the children's eyes.  A few children were required to see the eye specialists for further check-ups.
