I found her a very dedicated and committed person especially her responsibilities to the school. She always is the first one to arrive and the last one to leave the school. She usually comes to the school as early than me as 5,30 am and go home late. She works almost than 12 hours per day and the time she spent in the school is more than the time she could spend with her family at home. She held a very big responsibilities and made a lot of sacrifices for the school. To me, she is one of the best leaders and an amazing teacher who are willing to commit to a school that she loves and persevere despite the obstacles, challenges, burdens and sacrifices.

I was super grateful for Teacher Judith as she helped me a lot during my 3 weeks practicum. She took good care of me and listened to my sharing quite often whenever I had difficulties. She was so fun and easy to talk to because of her voice and her gentle attitude. She used to share her opinion and her teaching experience with me which gave me some kind of encouragement and motivation to be a good teacher. I remembered she said that she found that being one of the school administrator was quite a challenging task and that she loves children as much as she loves to teach them in the classroom. She said that students were easier to work with compared to working teachers. Hence, she exposed me a lot in terms of the duties as the school administrator. MDM JUDITH DONSIA

Leadership of the Week *24 weeks excluding holidays
Week 1 • Hardworking • Caring • Farsighted Throughout my period of training, I think she is very hardworking and very admirable. She had shown me many, many times before of the many good qualities she possess of when I was in my training period. She was there to guide and give me the grit that i have lost and there to give me the push where I needed it. Truly, a great leader that is farsighted and at the same time, very caring. She is the epitome of a very good role model and worthy of being respected. I respect Mdm. Principal Jennifer her a lot. Asing Excellent School Principal St Michael High School
Week 2 • Detailed • Hardworking • Caring & kind She is very kind to the people around her and I admire that about her. She is very good at multitasking and not everyone can do that. That is a quality that needs to be forged and not something that everyone can learn. She also gives me advises on teaching , for example, giving advices on Classroom management and how to attract students attention to you. Her patience is also very praiseworthy as I tend to be bery late at everything but she still look me in the eye with a smile. I hope that she will always stay and look young in her years ahead. Teacher Judith Fidelis Donsia School Vice Principal (Administration) St Michael High School
Week 3 • Empath • Caring • Kind • Teacher Sibyl really gives off a motherly vibe which made me very comfortable. She speaks sternly but in a very soothing way. I also wish to speak like her as I lack the public speaking skills compared to my trainee companions. There was one time I saw her teaching, and I instantly fell inlove with her teaching ways. It is very attention grabbing as you can see how passionate in doing what she does. I strive and hope one day I can be a good teacher like her. Teacher Johanna Sibyl Disimond (Evening Senior Assistant) St Michael High School
Week 4 • Caring • Friendly and happy go lucky • Empath • Teacher Audrey is a really religious person and I respect that about her. Another good qualities that I find in her is that I really love how she is able to handle the problems of troubled students while also juggling school work. Since my table is near her, i sometime observe her interaction with the students and clearly, I know that the students also trust her too. I love this type of person because I know that she is the type to advice and also warn me when I do something wrong and praise me when I did things good. A very great shoulder to lean to. Teacher Audrey Cherry Insing (Evening Assistant Senior Assistant) St Michael High School
Week 5 • Kind • Soft spoken • Friendly • I don’t have a lot of interractions with Teacher Hanis, but from what I can observe her and the little interraction that we have is that, she is very soft spoken. She addresses others around her with every term of endearment and it makes the surroundings feel like home. I think this is a good example on how to talk to students which is a great example for me to use in the future because I know what effect it can make to the people who hear it. Teacher Mariatul Hanis (Ketua Bidang Bahasa ) St Michael High School
Week 6 • A great role model • Sharp • Happy go lucky • She is my mentor for the morning session and I respect her a lot. Her style of teaching is very simillar to what I aspire to be as a teacher, which is igniting students curiosity. Although she is strict, her strictness had forced me to think and plan better for my daily lesson plan and she taught me a lot of things that I am lacking. Lastly, she is a great role model and a great mentor in my opinion and I learn a lot from her. I am a bit slow to understand things but I know she was very patient with me and I pray that good things come her way and that she is always healthy. Teacher Teresa Moloyos (mentor) St Michael High School
Week 7 • cool • kind • all-rounder • Teacher Aerene is my Afternoon session mentor and she is very cool. I don’t feel pressured when I discussed something with her which makes me very comfortable. I love this side of her which makes me feels like she is my best friend. She points out my mistakes and she gives me advises on how to do it better like its a group discussion between two students, and I find that I listen and remember things much better. Slowly but surely, I know if I keep on working under her, I will be a better educator but unfortunately, I only have half a year. My wish is that I could one day meet up with her again and work with her again. Teacher Aerene Gabriel St Michael High School
Week 8 • very detailed • soft spoken • gentle Teacher cheong is very gentle. I have my experience in working with her which is labeling the plants in the school area and I find that she is very detailed in supervising our work. She points out the errors that we made in the most gentle manner and not only that, she is also very patient and understanding. She understands my situation when I mentioned that I will be submitting my list of flowers late and told me that it is fine. I feel that she is very professional at what she is doing despite being pregnant at that time. Teacher Cheong Sing Lerh St Michael High School
Week 9 • friendly • caring • cool • Personally, I tend to like and respect those who are cool and chill, and teacher Faridah is one of them. My neighbour and deskmate in the office, usually does her work in the office while listening to her headphone, is actually a very strong person. I rarely interracted with her but I usually look at her direction because she is usually busy finding new art ideas everyday. I find it interesting as I can see that she that she tries her best to learn new techniques and arts everyday. She is an epitome of ‘You never stop learning’ Teacher Faridah Sahak St Michael High School
Week 10 • Admirable • Another teacher that I personally, rarely interacted with because she is an afternoon session teacher. But from my observation of her, whenever there are students queing up together during assembly or for 1M1S, she will always be the teacher to supervise the students. As a person who lacks classroom control and confidence, she is a great teacher who I always look up to. Sometimes I observe her whenever I have the opportunity to go in the afternoon session during 1M1S or assembly because she is very good at controlling the students. Teacher Diana Sibungkil St Michael High School
Week 11 • Cool • Admirable • During my time as a trainee, she is one of the teachers who I know is very talented in Badminton. We had a little session of ‘moving the body’ to get our mind and body to relax. What I love about our session was that we get to be together and bond while also share our troubles and share some teaching advices and experiences. This makes me realize that teaching is a serious job and it is very stressful. Not everyone can take on this job and the ones who do take on this job must have a strong mind and have to have a cool head. Teacher Norin Farizah binti Mohd Nuin St Michael High School
Week 12 • Adorable • Great role model • Professional • One of the nicest and friendliest teacher I met in school. She is a very good role model in my opinion and very professional. This can be seen when I saw her and her mantee talk outside of the office to clarify about something, to which in my opinion is very professional. • I had also heard that she was one of teachers who brought 100 species of plants to school when it was the idea was first introduced and she even labeled them. Since I had also labeled the plants in school, I can’t help but imagine her and admire Teacher Claris knowing that the time when she named the plants, it was a different time. it must be hard. • Although she had just finished her service as a teacher, I hope she will have good days ahead and that she will have tension free days to spend everyday and always healthy. Teacher Claris Disuil St Michael High School
Week 13 • Adorable • Friendly • One of the teachers who I have a bond with and cherish. She is a friend that will give me good advices to where I needed and also gives me tips on how to control classes especially those that tends to be a bit ‘loud’. We share our troubles and eat together and also spend some time to ‘move our body’ to relax the mind and body. • She once told me that she still lacks a lot of things even though I think she is pretty good at what she is doing. Most importantly, She made me understand the importance of hierarchy and position as there was once I made a mistake on something to which she quickly advices me to go straight up and tell the higher ups for that particular issue at that time. I really appreaciate her for telling and remind me of that . I hope she have a good teaching ahead of her, stress free. Teacher Christine Chong Kah Kei St Michael High School
Week 14 • Funny • Admirable • She taught me not to stress out. Always gives time to do your work. Divide the time to take care of your mental state and also give time for your work. I know that being a teacher is hard, hence knowing to divide ones time is important. Teacher Nelly Gilob St Michael High School
Week 15 • Quick-witted • Strategic • Teacher Nestre and Teacher Hanis handles the relief schedules everyday at school. This means, this takes a lot of concentration and a lot of strategic thinking. This is no easy task and I know that this task alone takes a lot of effort as they have to sift through the schedules of other teacher to make sure that the class wont be left without a teacher. Other teachers rely heavily on these schedule and I think its amazing that they do this everyday. I hope I am able to do this later when I become a teacher because I know this job can make things much more easier for me to Teacher Nestre Polinon organize things in my daily life. St Michael High School
Week 16 • Caring • Nice • Soft spoken • Although she had take a leave for maternity, I was still able to see her gentle and caring side. I Know that she is a very caring person as she always ask us fellow trainees if we were okay or asking if we are still healthy or not. This made me realize that there are still people who genuinely wants to know the wellbeing of somebody which made me feel like I am being taken care of. This made me realize the importance of love towards others and I can utillize this feelings to my future students because I know that some students need this kind of attention. Teacher Kamasliah Jahirin St Michael High School
Week 17 • Kind • Teacher Judy once said to ‘Go with flow’ and ‘treat it like a vacation’ when we had her do her speech. Since I had a pretty tough time to get use to the environment, after listening to teacher Judy, I understand what she meant. Being a teacher is a tough job because it can also cause a person to be sick or unstable, hence keeping the mentality of treating or enjoying it like its a vacation can stir a person away from being unstable. A very niteworthy advice. I hope she is all well in her new school. Teacher Judy Fung Siew Jin St Michael High School
Week 18 • Kind • Responsible • Father-figure • In this school, teacher Jonas is exactly like my father as he always takes me and fellow Trainee, Jayphanie, home. Never once failing to help us get home safely. I understand his concern as he feel like it is not very safe for a single young woman to walk around 6pm, especially since he knows that our neighbourhood has lots of dogs. I think he was worried about our safety. Due to this, Teacher Jonas taught me the essence of taking care of peoples safety as most of the teenagers Teacher Jonas Gohol still lack the ability to take care of themselves. St Michael High School
Week 19 • Punctual • Adorable • Early bird • I really respect those who could wake up early in the morning because I am never a morning person. Teacher Ma always goes to school early, he is an excellent exemplary teacher. I try to be at least on time because I know the importance of being one, its a hard feat though sometimes failing to do so. But he never fails to amaze me,and I only pray him the best for him. Teacher Ma Chi Nan St Michael High School
Week 20 • Funny • Reliable • Fellow deskmate neighbour, very friendly and funny. He neve fails to make us laugh when we feel gloomy. He told me to be chill, keep a clear mind. He gives good advices to us trainee teachers and we appreciate it. He once told us one time about what is the most important knowledge that you must possess in an interview, it is that you must know to do a lesson plan. This gives me the realization that planning a lesson plan is very, very important. Teacher Manimaran A/L Peromal St Michael High School
Week 21 • Friendly • Cheerful • A friendly teacher , she is a good example of someone with a good rapport with students and colleague. My lecturer in my university always tells to form a good rapport with colleague and I see why when I see Teacher Mercy, it creates a Teacher Mercy Saidi family-ish bond between colleague. St Michael High School
Week 22 • Soft spoken • Friendly • Sporting • A very nice and soft spoken teacher. She makes others around comfortable and warm inside. I aim to be a teacher who can support and help students when in trouble situation just like techer Seri but i am lacking the skill. That is why I look up to teaher Seri. I want to learn the art of able to comfort and heal others just like her Teacher Seri Rahayu Edani bt Eskandar St Michael High School
Week 23 • Friendly • Caring • Kind and understanding • same as teacher seri, she is very understanding and very easy to talk to. Plus, it is also my goal to be a person like teacher Goh and teacher Seri. • Hopefully, one day i can be like them. Teacher Goh Siaw Phing St Michael High School
Week 24 • Kind • Soft spoken • Nominated as the best teacher of the year , I think i can understand why because she works dillignetly and steadilly. I really respect her as an individual and she is also well liked by other people around her and is also very kind. Teacher Wong Yiew Chin St Michael High School
