25th September - 29th September (Week 20)

As my last week as an intern English teacher approaches, I am filled with mixed emotions, primarily sadness. Saying goodbye to my students is going to be a difficult and bittersweet moment. I remember the first day I walked into the classroom, nervous but excited, unsure of how well I could connect with my students. However, those uncertainties vanished over time as I witnessed their dedication and passion for learning. Together, we've explored the intricacies of the English language, delved into captivating literature, and navigated the challenging waters of grammar and vocabulary.  However, all lessons on 26 September (Tuesday) were postponed because all form 4 students were involved with Jabatan Kesenian dan Kebudayaan Negara's (JKKN)   event, Budi   @ Seni . The students were exposed to many types of arts, like dancing, playing traditional instruments and drawing skills. As an introduction, the JKKN performed a traditional dance in front of the students and teachers. On 27

We still have another week to end our internship period. I started feeling so sad because I needed to let them go. Some of them beg me to stay, but there is nothing I can do to stay here with them. "Do you really need to leave teacher?" – Najla 4C "Why don't you just stay until the end of the year?" – Divyan 4B "Teacher Athirah is the best English teacher I have ever learned with." – Wan Fikri 4B "Later, who will help us with sports and Kadet Bomba's   activities?" – Aniq 5C "After this, I can't run to you whenever I receive a new gossip." – Hasbul 5C "No more Gen Z teachers that would understand us." – Qis 4E "Who am I supposed to talk about Carhartt and Stussy stuff after this, teacher?" – Aiman Danial 4E All questions and confessions came from the students I teach in class; some were not even from my class. I spent most of my journey in SMK Cochrane Perkasa to keep my bond with the stud

Although I just got back from camping, the energy is not enough. Our responsibility as a teacher continues. On 11 September (Monday), Cooperative Week was inaugurated. The event was officiated by Senior Administrative Assistant Datin Norsiah. After the inauguration, the students were asked to enter their respective classes for the learning session.  On 13 September (Wednesday), all students and teachers of the morning and afternoon sessions gathered at the assembly site to participate in the Mesyuarat Agung Koperasi SMK Cochrane Perkasa KL Berhad 2023.  There has been the dissolution of positions and the appointment of new positions from among teachers and students. On 14 September (Thursday), my lecturer, also known as my academic supervisor, Madam Sherliaty, attended the school to conduct observations while I was teaching. The class I have set is a combination of 3 classes, which are 4 Amanah, 4 Bestari and 4 Cekal. I was very nervous that day, but I knew I had done my best to spread

It is a new week after the school holiday! Also, it will be a hectic week for all the teachers because the uniformed body camp will be held this weekend. Out of nowhere, I was appointed to be the emcee for the closing ceremony of the camp later. Due to my duty only on the last day of the camp. So I helped my friends to prepare hampers for the camp participants later. I helped my friend sort and pack the food Miss Kuah had bought, so we arranged it neatly and sealed the hamper.   I look fine in the picture, but I've had a fever since last week. When I came home from school, my head was dizzy, and my body temperature was rising. I asked  Penolong Kanan 's permission to take a medical leave on 6 September (Wednesday). But when I met the doctor, he said my body temperature was quite high and gave me medical leave for 2 days, from 6 September (Wednesday) to 7 September (Thursday). My condition is not fully recovered yet, but I still have to attend school and teach as usual. The stud

Starting on 26 August (Saturday), students will be on break from school until 3 September (Sunday). As a result of this, each and every student and teacher now has the ability as well as the space to unwind and spend additional time with their families and friends. The lesson and teaching session will back up the following 4 September (Monday).

This week marks the end of the first round of examinations for all students at the beginning of the year. In addition to that, this week will be the final week before the break between term 2 and 3. The students are excited that the examinations are done and will not be required to attend school the following week. This makes them doubly happy. The timetable for the examinations remains unchanged.  On 22 August (Tuesday), The English Drama Co-Academic Competition had the participation of 24 different schools. SMK Tiara Permai in Sentul served as the venue for the competition. It was a closed drama competition. Thus, no spectators will be allowed to see any teams compete.     Form 4 English Oral Test began on 21 - 23 August (Monday until Wednesday). Meanwhile, the Form 4 Listening Test was conducted on 24 August (Thursday). After the competition, however, I was tasked with being an English listening test exam invigilator despite being allowed to opt out of supervising the English-speaki

    The examinations scheduled for Forms 4 and 5 will proceed as planned. Conversely, students in Form 3 will start their first year of tests on August 14 (Monday). As usual, the practical teachers have to fulfill the relief schedule to replace the teachers who are not at school this week. While waiting for the answer time to end, I usually spend the available time to mark the students' answer sheets. In addition, the drama's preparations went through as scheduled, as they do every week. Because the competition will be on August 22 (Tuesday), this week is the final week they will have the opportunity to practice.
