It's been quite a while I haven't been able to update my blog. I've been too caught up with work responsibilities which wouldn't allow me to at least write something up. As usual my duties as a teacher and also in the school administration, meetings, deadlines, conferences, markings, exams... all these has put me into a position where I am being some sort of a workaholic. That is why I have decided to take leave for the whole of the school term holidays.
Today is the first day of school... and there are no students of course as the students are given an extended leave for one week from 29 June 2009 to 4 July 2009. They'll be back in school again on 6 July 2009. Talk about leave for the students, I'm really hoping that they are doing their own revision at the moment.
In school today we have the contact time at 10.00 a.m. in which as usual meeting with all teachers. I've been working many hours to finish up the time table for this term and I finally got it done on the last day of the previous school term. I've been working fridays and sundays just to get that done in which I had to come back to school on my own to finish up the time table (friday and sunday). It is not an easy task where I'm the only person doing it and I had to key in all the details for all teachers for all levels and all subjects, with all the special rooms to be used and other duties that they have to do which I have to block. Alhamdulillah I did finish that off during the examination and test periods. I know that I've been spending a lot of time doing that rather than preparing my exam papers and exam marking scheme. Mungkin berkat kesabaran dan usaha yang berterusan yang membolehkan aku membuat kesemuanya sebelum bermula penggal ketiga.. Syukur Alhamdulillah..
Before giving out the timetable to teachers, I had passed it to the Principal and Deputy Principals to check it and make amendments to it before the school holidays. A few had to be amended and I made the changes. Alhamdulillah.. Done..
Students' results weren't that too good.. for both my Additional Mathematics and Mathematics 'D'. There are two students who did not make a pass for additional mathematics. As for Mathematics, I guess some have passed and improved than the previous Preliminary examination. Hope my students will improve further. Amiin..
I guess there are so many things that I wanted to post here....but I don't think that I should write it up here regarding how I felt at the moment.. It's kinda sad and I wouldn't want to disclose it. I just hope for better things to come in the future.. Insya Allah..
