KOLEJ T6 HAJI ZAINUL ABIDIN

The school will be celebrating Teacher's Day on the 29th of May 2009. As usual there will be performances put by the students and also a telematch.

For those students who wish to show their appreciation to their teachers, this is the best time to do so. As the saying goes, "it is the thought that counts." A simple book mark will definitely put a smile on the teacher's face.

Hopefully the weather will be good on that day. Happy Teacher's Day to all the beloved and hard working teachers of the school. "Guru Pembina Negara Bangsa"

A student of the school Vuthaya Babu A/L/ Baskaran earlier this month participated in the State Carnival for Backup boxers. He was awarded a silver medal.

So to Vuthaya train hard and wish you all the best. Hopefully one day you will bring glory not only to your family but also the state of Penang.

Recently a group of members sat for the road safety test and the follow up was the practising of using hand signals on the road. This opportunity of using hand signals came when they participated in an event at the Shell Game located at Bodhi Avenue off Anson Road.

The members were taken to the place by Encik Abdullah, the teacher advisor assisted by Encik Ruzinorsham. Well done guys and thanks for the spirit of participation.

This time teachers were exposed to the various techniques and methodology of teaching the targeted subjects such as Mathematics, Science, English, Bahasa Melayu Civics, Living Skills and Moral Education.

After the session teachers were given a project to do and then to be presented a week later.

The facilitators comprising various panel heads patiently guided the teachers to the useful and latest marking methods and also sharing their invaluable knowledge and experiences.

A group of civil Defence Cadets of the school participated in a camp organised by the State Civil Defence Department recently at Hutan Lipur Kedah.

They learnt various skills such as fire fighting, first aids, search and rescue and many other skills.

They also competed with cadets from other schools in activities such as bandaging and first aids. It was an activity well attended and planned. The cadets have a hope that is for such activities to be held more often in the near future.

Bravo and be prepared!

July 9th is the date for the annual sports day. It will be held at the USM stadium. Students must be there latest by 7.30am. So students prepare yourselves to reap more medals and help your house to be the champion house for the year.

To make the event merrier, there will also be a lucky draw for the students. So, be present on that day. It might be your lucky day.

There will be a rehearsal soon. See you at the stadium.

On a sunny afternoon on 6th May, the teachers were again involved in the in-service training for the third time. This time the teachers were exposed to the Physical Education evaluation programme aptly known by the acronym SEGAK.

Facilitators comprising P.E. teachers of the school unselfishly shared their knowledge and expertise to all the teachers who might get to teach P.E. in the near future.

Teachers sportingly tried out all the various instrument of evaluation that students themselves have to undergo. Most either went on their knees or flat back on the soft mat provided.

All in all it was fun and at the same time gaining new skills and knowledge. A big thank to all the facilitators for a job well done!
