SK GUAL TO'DEH - The first week of schooling plays a critical role in shaping pupils’ attitudes, emotional readiness, and overall adjustment to the school environment. At SK Gual To’Deh, the first week of the 2026 academic session, held from 11 to 15 January, was carefully structured through a comprehensive orientation programme designed to support pupils’ social, emotional, physical, and moral development. During this period, formal classroom teaching was deliberately postponed to allow pupils to participate fully in school-organised activities that emphasised transition, engagement, and holistic growth
Progam Minggu 1, 2026.
The programme commenced on Sunday, 11 January 2026, with the theme “Sapaan Mesra” for Level 1 pupils (Years 1–3) and “Aspirasi dan Matlamat” for Level 2 pupils (Years 4–6). For younger pupils, activities such as the welcoming assembly, self-introduction session “Who Am I?”, guided school tours, and lessons on school etiquette were implemented to familiarise them with the school environment and routines. These activities were particularly important for Year 1 pupils who were undergoing a significant transition into formal schooling. Meanwhile, Level 2 pupils participated in vision board activities, group dynamics sessions, and positive discipline briefings, which encouraged goal-setting, self-reflection, and responsible behaviour. The structured approach ensured that pupils at different developmental stages received age-appropriate support and guidance
On Monday, 12 January, the focus shifted towards physical activation, creativity, and numeracy reinforcement. Both levels participated in assemblies featuring the singing of three national and school-related songs, followed by aerobics sessions aimed at promoting physical well-being. Level 1 pupils engaged in poster colouring under the theme “Sekolahku Syurgaku” and school orientation tours, while Level 2 pupils took part in poster drawing activities. Additionally, the “Superhero Matematik – Buku Sifir” activity was conducted for both levels to strengthen basic mathematical skills in a fun and engaging manner. These activities demonstrated an integrated approach that balanced cognitive stimulation with physical and creative expression
The programme continued on Tuesday, 13 January, with a strong emphasis on collaboration, language development, and physical coordination. After the morning assembly and aerobics, pupils from both levels participated in station-based traditional games organised by the Physical Education panel. Language-based activities were differentiated according to pupils’ levels: Level 1 pupils engaged in “Lipat Jadi Hebat”, while Level 2 pupils participated in “Arkitek Perkataan”, both organised by the Malay and English Language panels. These activities supported the development of fine motor skills, creativity, and early literacy while fostering teamwork and communication among pupils
On Wednesday, 14 January, experiential learning was highlighted through the “Fun Walk – Kembara Flora dan Fauna”, involving all teachers and pupils. This outdoor exploration allowed pupils to connect with their natural surroundings while promoting physical activity and environmental awareness. The session “Tak Kenal Maka Tak Cinta”, organised by the History and Design & Technology panels, further enhanced pupils’ appreciation of their school community and heritage. The integration of outdoor learning and values-based education reflected the school’s commitment to nurturing well-rounded individuals
The programme concluded on Thursday, 15 January, with activities that focused on spiritual development, reflection, and community building. Pupils participated in Solat Hajat and Yasin recitation, followed by a talk on Isra’ and Mi’raj organised by the Islamic Education and Arabic panels. The week ended with prize-giving ceremonies and classroom beautification activities through class-based gotong-royong sessions. These activities reinforced moral values, gratitude, and a sense of ownership towards the learning environment
In conclusion, the first week orientation programme at SK Gual To’Deh in 2026 was systematically planned and successfully implemented. The programme achieved its objectives by ensuring that all pupils participated actively and adapted well to the school environment. By prioritising holistic development over immediate academic instruction, the school laid a strong foundation for pupils’ readiness to learn, socialise, and thrive throughout the academic year.
