A visit to SMK Jalan 4 Bangi...


Today, according to what has been planned since last week, I joined the staffs of SMK Gedangsa for a visit to a "many-awards-gainer" school in Bangi. I will write more on it later... (I am too tired to write + no ideas) at the moment just enjoy this slide show via the link below.

Latest update:
We visited the school on Monday after we have successfully carried out the Sports Day on Sunday. Therefore, Monday was given as a 'Cuti Peristiwa' for us. The principal however looked upon something for us to do as a Staff Development Course; the visit was the result.

Two occasions...
On that particular day the school actually had another important event. Their new principal was on the way for registration. We arrived earlier from the new appointed principal. We attended the briefing organised by the GPK Akademik. From her we knew that the school has women teachers in majority. Only 3 male teachers made up the minority male teachers population there. So, in the briefing session, this issue was emphasized... (... perhaps they wanted to show that without men, women can survive...)

What I learnt...?
I often heard very proud claim from people saying that private schools are better than government's schools. It is not true I believe. The SMK Jalan 4 Bangi, has proven that their school are at the same level as the private schools. Their advantage is on the very co-operative relationship with their PIBG. Parents willingly support every school programme. This effort has given enough 'power' for the school to equip good facilities for students hence improve its educational services quality. The photos below shows some of the good facilities the school provides...

This is the SPBT room which stores the textbooks. Very well managed and seriously decorated.


It looks like a family hall isn't it? Actually, it is the school sickbay. Their motto is 'Towards Dengue Free school environment' (..which I wonder how could they do that...?)

The teacher in charge of the sickbay refuses ill student regularly. Nice sickbay of course, but that's because it has never filled its purpose.

I'm responding to the comment about the sickbay rarely being used.

SMK Jalan Empat emphasises on academics, and although having sick students do not provide a good learning environment, a student does not have to be treated if the illness is not critical.

That being said, the sickbay usually helps students that really need to be sent home.

I, as a student of SMK Jalan 4 myself, strongly believe that the students here are mature enough not to complain about minor illnesses or injuries.
