• SK Sri Adika Raja, Gerik
• SK Seri Bayu, Lumut
• SMK Raja Perempuan Kelsom, Kuala Kangsar
• SMK Matang, Matang

This project involves intensive in school professional development supported face to face with a team of facilitators and online with all schools participating in one online community. The online community allows schools and teachers to engage with each other and international educators and students. This cluster project is based upon proven research and international best pratice.

The project has an emphasis on encouraging teachers to adapt their pratice to make learning more compelling and dynamic for learners. For learners the shift is from more passive learning modes to self-managing, hands-on, enquiry modes to develop their creativity, problem-solving and communication skills.

NEW -LOOK MUSIC ROOM

Our School has a well sound-proof music room. But throughout the years, it was in messy and untidy. Last month, our SKSB music commitee took an action to clean up the room and decorated it. The members started to sweep and mop the room. The pupils gave a big help too by moving in some racks and arrange the music instruments on the racks. A notice board had set up to display some useful information about music. I know it does not look much pretty but at least it look good in condition.

BORIA COSTUMES

This morning, three lady teachers were seen busy sewing some cloths at the open hall beside the administrative block.

In the picture below, I have Cikgu Zaliha posing with the ready-made custome for Boria competition. Let's wish the SKSB Boria Team the best of luck.

CAMERA STOP OPERATED

This few days, i felt frustrated because i missed the chance to capture some incidents that happened in my school. This was because my camera stopped operating normally since yesterday.

I hope it will function properly by tomorrow.
