Semester BREAK!!!

Akhirnya...semester break sampai gak. Sape yang lebih excited nih...cikgu ke pelajar?? hehe.... Camne pun pelajar semua dah balik pada 26 Mei dan bercuti sampai 11 Jun..but not for the fifth formers. Depa terlibat dengan program PG until 30th May. My salute to those teachers that involved in the program. Walaupun semua cikgu hanya mula bercuti pada 31 Mei sebab perlu siap marking paper...tapi kat cikgu2 Add Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Biology...kesanggupan anda memberi penekanan dalam subjek masing-masing sepanjang 4 hari tu...amat menKAGUMkan. Students gak tak kurang hebatnya sebab sanggup menyahut cabaran untuk pulang lewat. Semoga pengorbanan anda semua tidak sia2. 100 A+ in SPM 2011..it's not impossible!

So..to all teachers...selamat bercuti. Gunakan masa tersebut dengan sebaik2nye. Kepada yang pergi dip. Ed... all the best. Bila balik nanti lebih banyak tugas mencabar sedang menanti. Especially to PMR and SPM's teachers. We been there...and we did it excellently. So we should be ready to make another impact...history is meant to be created...by us!!!

HAPPY HOLIDAY.....

Hari Guru 2011 - MRSM Langkawi

Dengan Tema " Guru Penjana Tranformasi Pendidikan Negara" , sambutan Hari Guru di MRSM Langkawi tahun ini sedikit berbeza berbanding tahun-tahun lepas. Disebabkan kekangan minggu peperiksaan, kelab guru (KAGUM) telah berkoliberasi dengan Badan Wakil Pelajar (BWP) untuk mengadakan acara sukan dan permainan secara santai dengan para pelajar. Program yang telah dirancang mendapat sambutan hangat dari para pelajar dan juga para guru yang diraikan. Tidak lupa kepada warga staf MRSM Langkawi yang turut memeriahkan acara.
Bermula dengan permainan traditional di Dewan Besar MRSM, pelajar dan guru bergabung tenaga sebagai satu pasukan untuk memenangi acara Galah Panjang dan juga Gelong. Sementara dalam acara Dam Aji, Congkak dan Batu Seremban, pelajar dan guru bertanding sesama mereka bagi merebut status sebagai juara.
Pada sebelah petang pula diadakan perlawanan bolasepak antara guru/staf dan juga pelajar. Pastinya kemenangan berpihak kepada guru/staf dengan keputusan 3-2. Permainan diteruskan kesebelah malam dalam acara badminton beregu dengan mengabungkan guru/staf dan pelajar. Walaupun tamat agak lewat iaitu pada jam 11.30 malam, keseronokan dan kegembiraan terpancar di wajah setiap peserta dan juga penonton yang sama-sama memberi sokongan kepada pasukan masing-masing.
Harapan kami warga guru, semoga apa yang dilakukan dapat mengeratkan lagi hubungan dengan para pelajar dan seterusnya menerbitkan perasaan hormat pelajar kepada warga guru/staf MRSM Langkawi. Terima kasih kepada semua pelajar yang turut bersama-sama meraikan sambutan Hari Guru 2011 dan tidak lupa terima kasih atas hadiah yang diberikan. Ingatlah wahai para pelajar yang disayangi semua, Hadiah terhebat untuk para guru adalah kejayaan yang ditunjukkan dalam peperiksaan dan juga jati diri yang tinggi sebagai seorang insan.
Selamat berjaya kepada semua pelajar dalam menduduki peperiksaan Semester 1, 2011 bermula 15 Mei hingga 26 Mei 2011. Do your best and you will get the best!!

Benchmarking PMR and SPM 2011

From May 4 until May 6 2011 teachers and few staffs from MRSM Langkawi had a long journey by bus to Kelantan. Their mission : to enrich their knowledge and skills in teaching and always motivated to achieve the very best in their jobs. For that reasons, Sekolah Menengah Sains Tengku Muhammad Faris Petra, Kota Bharu and MRSM Pasir Tumboh are their benchmark as both schools had shown tremendous achievement in PMR dan SPM in the past few years.

18 upper and lower form teachers, and 5 non academic staffs were involved in the benchmarking program. They started with MRSM Pasir Tumboh at 9.00 am, May 5 before they left to SMSTMFP at about 11.30 am. Even thought not all teachers has the opportunity to meet their counterparts, for those who could, they really did their very best to acquire as much information as they could in their subjects matter. It was not a one way communication though, we also share our teaching formula with them. Staffs also did their part by collecting information on good management and administration practices.Thanx a zillion to all who had welcome us and entertaining us during the benchmarking program.

As for tuan Haji Mahzan, the principal of MJSC Pengkalan Chepa, who was the former principal of MJSC Langkawi, your warmest welcome will never be forgotten.We had our lunch in his house and you could imagined with all the people we bring in, it was a very busy afternoon to both En. Mahzan and Pn. Hikmah. Thank you for your kindness heart...

So, one whole day benchmarking program ended at about 5.00 pm and with everything they have gained, i hope they will be highly motivated and more creative in their teaching methods. Stand up to our motto this year " Defying the Odds" so our students will not only give their very best but they also will get the very best from us, teachers and staffs of MRSM Langkawi.

100% A in PMR and 100% A+ in SPM 2011
