Heart Warming and Awesome Celebration To Bring On the New Year 2011

Image
After a term of solid academic training and exam preparation for all of our students. The World of Christmas Theme promised as much fun for everyone as we anticipated! The idea was to engage all the students to set up the booth of the countries that they have chosen. The students were tasked to sell tickets to raise fund for tree planting at the North Selangor Peat Swamp Forest . The Best Christmas Booth and the Booth that raised the most funds have been awarded a prize each. The guests, students and teachers were treated to a carnival-like food signature of the country and fun games in the World of Christmas booths tour and performances from the students and guests. The students have demonstrated what it takes to do Business in the most fun way of the following skills and attitude 1. the division of labour to set up booth and logistics arrangement 2. the creativity to draw up the food menu and games to attract customers-advertising 3. the promotion pitch = 'cheers' to compete

Academy Life at Honsbridge

Dear readers, At Honsbridge, we have had yet another rewarding and eventful last academic term in 2010. As we gave our best wishes to our graduates who have completed their O Level exams this Oct/Nov 2010, we are busy preparing our next batch of O Level candidates who will be sitting theirs in May/Jun 2011. Our teachers namely myself, Mr. Dominic, Ms. Jenny along with Mr. David are very pleased that our lessons have kept the students on their toes, because the students' learnings were assessed through weekly quiz, tests, games and winter checks. We have also achieved great success with the self study prep sessions of which students have benefited from peer learning. Aside from academic progression, the students have benefited from the weekly PE sessions of which they have played Futsal, Rugby and Captain's ball. In support of Rugby, I have played along with the students myself to take advantage of the fact that the students won't tackle me as much! Indeed,

Fun with Physics Experiments!

Image
On 7 Oct 2010, Micheleine and Joshua were tasked to verify two key concepts in Physics. 1. The incident angle is equal to the reflected angle. 2. The image is as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror. The apparatus involved protractor, plain paper, card board, pins, pencil, ruler and mirror. Both Micheleine and Joshua took turns to carry out the steps in the experimental procedure, it was the observation of the image in the mirror that was found to be quite tricky to align with the pins. Overall, the two experiments went well and the fun was over in less than half an hour. The two key concepts have been verified to be true indeed. In the O Level physical science exams, questions such as describing an experiment to verify the law of reflection and image distance is equal to object distance are very common. Students are advised to write out the procedure along with a diagram and table of values to support the answers. If you have any questions and feedback, pleas

Best Wishes for the O Level/ IGCSE Exams Oct 2010

Dear Students, Here is wishing all the challengers out there the very best for your upcoming exams. Burning the midnight oil is not necessary the way forward, but chances are you will be mugging at whatever odd times that best suit you. I remember when i used to prepare for exams wherever i was, night time was always the best time for me to study as it was cool and quite. With no distraction whatsover, i had soft music on and had a few aroma candles burnt, i would work out all the sums and essays as time ticked by. The period of exam preparation was productive as i checked off the topics that i had worked on day by day. Along with classmates and teachers who were always around for company, i didn't feel alone in the battle. The visualisation of success and fruits of labour always motivate me to work hard everytime. I hope you will be motivated to achieve your dream goals in the exams. There are many ways to help you succeed in exams and life. You may visualise the sweet success, s

Parents' Testmonials

Dear readers and parents, As today is National Day, Happy Merdeka! This post is dedicated to share with everyone the heartfelt messages that we have received from our parents. Thank you to you parents for taking the time to pen down the testimonials for Honsbridge. We are ever grateful of the wonderful partnership that we have built with our parents. Without their support in bringing their children on time for their classes and their time during parents' and teachers' review and even at school events, our students will not have come as far as they did. I am also most grateful to our team of teachers who have worked hard and enjoyed even more teaching our inaugural graduates. Well done us!!! As seen here with Ms. Jenny, Mr. Dom along with me. Received on 23 Aug 2010 "Dear Emma, We are indeed honoured to be associated with Honsbridge. We, of course realised that Elise could not have had the desired results without Honsbridge's help.

Dear readers, From left, Mr. Dominic, Zoraya, Lauren, Elise and Ms. Emma 13 Aug 2010 marked the day that our inaugural graduates will learn about their O Level results for their May exams. The wait was finally over. As teachers, we kept our fingers and toes crossed that the results will be what we have worked so hard for our students. The subjects for examinations were namely English, Mathematics, Physical Science (Physics and Chemistry), History, Business Studies and Bible Knowledge. There was no word to describe our pride when we learnt that our most outstanding student, Lauren has scored straight As for her six Cambridge O Level subjects since joining Honsbridge in March 2009. The excellent results have always been expected since the trial examinations in May, but to know that Lauren has indeed scored distinctions in all her O Level examinations mean all the world to the teachers at Honsbridge. It is our greatest hope that Lauren's achievements will inspire all our current stude

Dear readers, Honsbridge Academy has taken time off to recharge especially after working so hard to prepare our graduating students for their O Level/ IGCSE exams in May. During the term break, i am taking time to reflect what has really happened in the last term. There had been many 'firsts' for all of our parents, teachers and students altogether. There was the first graduating class of students w hom our teachers have worked so hard alongside with. History, English, Mathematic s, Business Studies and Bible Knowledge were the examinations that our students have signed up for. We have had extra classes to coach them and trial examin at ions after another. The students have really raised their bars and a s teac hers we can now relax while we can. Come the new term, our next batch of st udent s will be taking their exams this Oct.

Coaching students and monitoring students' progress are two complimentary strategies towards academic success. Coaching and monitoring is what we achieve for the students at Honsbridge. It is like a continuous cycle as students are expected to turn in their assignments on time. Punctuality for lessons is also stressed upon the students so much that penalty exists for a reason. A day in day out routine for all of us. We thank our dedicated teachers for their passion and our enthusiastic students for their valuable feedback and for contributing so well in their lessons.
