Second Quarter 2011 in Honsbridge Academy

Image
Dear Readers, All of our teachers and students have begun the new term on the 11 Apr 2011 with exciting events and new curriculum to look forward to. Prior to the updates, we like to thank Mr Brian John Yim for organising and mentoring the students in music appreciation as part of the Friday Enrichment. Without Brian's guidance and encouragement, the students will not have the enjoyment and the new found confidence to sing in the choir. Since the term has begun, Honsbridge has successfully organised a few events namely the Students' Academic Review with Parents (on the 16 Apr and 23 Apr) and the Go Green Tree Planting (on the 24 Apr). To to all the parents, students and teachers who have participated in these events, thank you for making the events. Whilst all the students are busy learning new material in their Cambridge O Level syllabus, we have students who are busy revising for their May 2011 exam sessions. These graduating students are at the stage whereby extra classes a...

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 ...

Tree Planting-An Extraordinary Green Affair

Hello all, Together with the parents and students @ Honsbridge, we are making a difference by making regular contribution to the Forest Care fund, the fund goes to support the tree seedling and planting projects. On the early morning of 24 Sat, Sat. Along with our students & teachers, some 500 volunteers gathered at the Raja Musa Peat Swamp Forest to plant trees in conjunction of the Earth Day. We started the day with breakfast at the Kayu Restaurant that is nearby Honsbridge, before we set off in our cars to the forest. The journey didn't take very long as we arrived to see many cars and buses parked just outside the forest. The spirit of tree huggers was immense as we saw hundreds of people clad in boots, hats, gloves and garden tools. The hundreds of tree huggers were like season tree planters and we felt great to be part of the worthy cause. But we didn't expect to get as wet as what was to come. The FUN has begun!!! Join us next time! Emma, Dominic, Joshua, Shahmeer a...

Hello dear one and all, Our Twin Happiness celebration held on the 27 Feb, Sat was on many levels a first for the students, parents and Honsbridge. Let us talk about the dynamic team effort of MFS aka business club, we saw the students of different backgrounds unite and contribute to the awesome Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year decorations. The many lanterns, lightings and handicrafts were amazing. Honsridge has transformed yet again! The students have made cupcakes, jellies and brought sausage rolls, pasta so good that we couldn't get enough of it among many food for the occasion. Along with the reception and refreshment booths, we have also set up two more bazaar booths, the 'Grow a Tree' and the 'Art' booths. The highlight of the evening was definitely the students' performances, the loving crowd and the hearty food. As i started to talk to our guests and all about the huge success that we have had with The 'Grow A Tree' Campaign, i felt so...
