A good reason for me to feel satisfied …

Posted on by admin

Just met an ex-student who is now a teacher at the same school in which I was his form teacher back in 2001. Oh my, how time flies! And he looks almost exactly the same. I feel happy every time I meet my former students and see how much they have grown and how useful they have become. In fact at least one is already married. Education is more than just textbooks, worksheets, homework and exams, which sadly, is a view not shared by some parents, some teachers and even some students themselves.

To me, teaching is the greatest and most satisfying job in the world, and while others may earn more, good teachers are always the most respected in society.

Rgds,

Ilyasa

Change in Start Date of Lower Secondary Headstart Programmes to 18 Nov onwards

Posted on by admin

Dear interested Parents / Students,

I have to postpone the start date of the Secondary Headstart classes to 18 Nov onwards as there is a surge in demand for O-Level, A-Level and IB Math and Physics classes for the next two weeks and we need to free up more lesson slots.

However, from 5 Nov to 15 Nov I have planned a series of Secondary Consolidation classes for students who have performed poorly in this year’s SA2 exams. Students who are weak in Math and Physics should attend these Consolidation classes before attending my Headstart classes. Consolidation classes will focus on THIS YEAR’s topics while Headstart classes  are meant for NEXT YEAR’s topics.

Rgds,

Ilyasa
