English beautiful words on signboard

After PMR examination, the candidates have to undergo a few activities organized by the counseling unit. One of the activities, colorful English signboard was being taken cared by English Language Panel. The students were to write ponder words on wooden signboard which had been painted into blue, orange, green and light blue. The activity was first rejected by the pretty number of students as they thought it was some kind of another burdensome works. But then when a few students had tried it and they sign their name on the board as to mark their contribution to the school, several more students alighted to ask for blank signboard.

They were so happy to decorate and to write the words using UNI-Paint marker pen which could paint with beautiful colour.. The words or phrases chosen were - the Phrasal Verbs and its meaning, the words of ponder, the Hadith of the Prophet SAW and the wise sayings. 

The planning stage- the students in groups to design and to decide what to write.

Writing and decorating are fun...

Here are they... erected nicely by the fish pond

Teacher Shafinar couldn't miss to appreciate one of the signboards.

They are everywhere in the school and it bears the person who has contributed

SPM result 2008- 2012 based on CGPA

As for the implication of the PLC to the school academic achievement, we have to see from the beginning of the criteria of the school being chosen to implement the LS which was based on the SPM result. The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA), of 2010 English Language SPM result of the school is 7.62, and the aim of the program is to improve CGPA by 0.05 to at least 7.57. After LS being implemented, the school manages to get 7.48 or the increase of 0.14. And as the PLC continued in 2012, the CGPA improves more to 7.36 or an increase of 0.12.

The LS may be the factor contributed to the improvement of the CGPA. The LS was carried out with the low performance students of form 5 in year 2011 and 2012. The skills of the new and the more experience teachers blended together to improve the teaching of SPM English Language. The implementation of the LS in year 2013 has a slight change, where the class chosen is form 1 and the move has given the idea to the lower form teachers on how to diversify in the teaching of PBS students.

Y = CGPA X = YEAR X

LEGEND:-
1 = 2008 7.67
2 = 2009 7.51
3 = 2010 7.62
 4 = 2011 7.48
 5 = 2012 7.36

Thanks Zaidi and hope for a better future a head

Zaidi bin Zakaria had been teaching in this school for almost 13 years. He has had a great influence among the students and teachers in the school. As to calculate those who has been taught by him since, there are almost 200 students each year multiple by 13 years, it makes approximately 2600 students of his. He has a lot of merits in teaching the language and he had been a good friend to others. We are going to miss him, and his special task, which is the script writer and the MC trainer for the students at any formal ceremony. He also had lost his beloved foster Mum during his service in this school and a lot of things happen to his personal life while he taught here.

The English language panel members hope for a better future and hope that he won forget us here.

Zaidi bin Zakaria (2001- 2013) as now the lecturer in Matriculation Centre, Changlun.
