Term Break - A Time For Honsbridge To Recharge
Dear readers,
There was the first Futsal session which has now been a part of the PE curriculum along with the sessions in the field. The Futsal sessions have proven popular as teachers and students have had so much fun together. It was exciting to find myself in the futsal field for the first time and playing with the students themselves. I had so much fun that i would not otherwise have had. For the students, it will be their duty to dress appropriately for the sports and to gain parental consent before PE lessons are allowed. At Honsbridge, we believe sport is an integral part of the learning curriculum. Students are encouraged to benefit from the value added lesson as time allocated for it is not to be taken for granted. Safety is also taken seriously at Honsbridge and it is therefore our duty to have the first aid kit with us if we need it.
Honsbridge Inaugural Speech Day was a time for gratitude, sporty fun, yummy food and celebration of our success with the graduating class. Our students, parents and teachers all came together to mark the beginning of another academic progression for our leaving students. It was an emotional and moving celebration. I also harboured the hopes that our current students will be inspired to soar as high as our graduates when it was their time!
It is our greatest passion that we continue to develop eager-to-learn achievers to succeed at Honsbridge. We give thanks again to all our ever supportive parents and students who make our day always rewarding!
To our teachers, hope we are all charged up from our happy holidays.

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 whom our teachers have worked so hard alongside with. History, English, Mathematics, 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 examinations after another. The students have really raised their bars and as teachers we can now relax while we can. Come the new term, our next batch of students will be taking their exams this Oct.
There was the first Tree Planting event in Raja Musa Peat Swamp Forest in Selangor that our students along with the teachers were a part of. As part of the Earth Day, we created awareness amongst our students and parents to grow tree and be part of a larger movement within Malaysia. See the action that day in the video here.
There was the Honsbridge Day Polo Tee Shirt that was revealed to our students. It was a gift from Honsbridge and the students love it. Thank you to Mr Dominic whose creations never fail to bring much excitement. We have since set the Honsbridge Day to coincide with PE day for everyone to wear the shirt. Students have found themselves to be disciplined in more ways than punctuality for lessons and homework, but also for their attire on Honsbridge Day.
There was the Business Study Trip at Goodway Rubber Industry in Nilai. It was an eventful day and we are ever grateful to the organisers for all the learning that our students and teachers have received. Students today have many means to learn other than in the classrooms. At Honsbridge, we offer student the chance to go on study field trip as part of the fast pace Cambridge O Level/ IGCSE curriculum. Our students typically have to learn and apply their knowledge in a space of a year and two years, a day outside the classroom must be made worthwile for the students as it is a teaching day lost otherwise.

Between the preparation for students' end of term examinations and Speech Day. There was the making of Honsbridge Year Book 2009/2010. The book was a gift for our graduating students and the publication process itself has provided fun learning space for all the students. The memories and pride of our students are evident in 40 pages of colourful content. Without the motivation and mentoring from our teachers and the support of the students, the yearbook will not have been materialised. So well done us!
