Celebrating the Success of the Highly Immersive Programme (HIP) 2025 at SK Gual To’Deh

SK GUAL TO'DEH - Today marked a memorable milestone for SK Gual To’Deh as the school held a certificate presentation ceremony for the Highly Immersive Programme (HIP) 2025. The event, which took place during the morning assembly, celebrated the dedication, creativity, and enthusiasm of both teachers and pupils who actively participated in various activities throughout the programme.

The headmaster received a certificate as the host of HIP 2025 from PKKO, a recognition awarded by the Kelantan State Education Department and the Pasir Mas District Education Office.

Among the pupils proudly receiving their certificates of participation in the 5th Highly Immersive Programme (HIP) was a joyful group, presented personally by the headmaster, Mr. Bakri Bin Hj Md Nor, during the school assembly ceremony.

The HIP initiative, now in its fifth year at SK Gual To’Deh, has become a cornerstone in promoting English proficiency and confidence among the school community. The programme provided pupils with diverse opportunities to use English in meaningful contexts, ranging from storytelling and choral speaking to action songs and public speaking. Teachers, too, were actively engaged through workshops, competitions, and classroom innovations that enhanced the overall teaching and learning of English.

This year’s programme was particularly significant as it highlighted the collaboration and commitment of the entire school community. The teachers displayed their readiness to design engaging learning activities, while the pupils showed remarkable courage and creativity in using English beyond the classroom. The combination of these efforts resulted in a vibrant learning environment where English was not only taught but also lived and experienced.

The certificate presentation ceremony was a proud moment for many. Pupils received recognition for their active involvement in various competitions, including Muay Thai, Traditional Dance, English Short Conversation, Public Speaking, Action Song, Dikir Barat, and Duet Song. Younger pupils were celebrated for their participation in action songs and storytelling, while older pupils were praised for their leadership roles in short conversation and public speaking activities. Teachers, too, were honoured for their tireless efforts in mentoring pupils and ensuring that every activity was both educational and enjoyable.

The headmaster, in his speech, congratulated all the participants and reminded the audience that the true success of HIP lies not only in the certificates received but in the confidence gained and the skills developed. He emphasized that the ability to communicate effectively in English is an essential asset for the future, especially in a rapidly globalizing world.

The success of HIP 2025 also reflects the strong support from parents and the wider community. Many parents expressed their pride in seeing their children perform confidently in English, something that was once considered a challenge. Their encouragement played a crucial role in motivating pupils to embrace the programme wholeheartedly.

In conclusion, the HIP 2025 certificate presentation ceremony at SK Gual To’Deh was more than just an event to hand out certificates; it was a celebration of growth, resilience, and achievement. It demonstrated how a school, through dedication and teamwork, can create a positive culture of English learning that empowers both teachers and pupils. With this success, SK Gual To’Deh looks forward to continuing its journey of excellence in English education in the years to come.
