Khamis lepas 24 Jun adalah hari terakhir ‘Aaqil di Year 4, alhamdulillah. Start sekolah 1 Jun hari tu tapi asik tangguh nak blog about it hehe. Sampai habis term dah pun.
Kisah nak register sekolah ni panjang. Encik suami yang buat dari register online sampai lah ke beli uniform etc. Alhamdulillah dipermudahkan. Untuk kemasukan ke sekolah NCBIS ni, salah satu requirement adalah cikgu sekolah lama kena fill up an evaluation form in order to proceed wit application. And mind you this is between schools and we were not in the loop so that the previous school will give unbiased assessment.
Settle application, bayar utk assessment then – ‘Aaqil has to make an essay without any guidance and help. Few days later, online assessment soalan berbentuk IQ, english, maths. Hah masa ni kena on video sekali sebab nak make sure takde bantuan dari luar hehe. So kitorg tinggalkan ‘Aaqil sorang2 dalam bilik sampailah settle.
Alhamdulillah in less than a week rasanya dpt offer. Phew. Pastu tak habis lagi. Kena buat registration payment dulu barulah boleh dpt date admission. 1 June lah tarikh hari pertama ‘Aaqil bersekolah di New Cairo British International School, NCBIS. Jarak dalam 15min dari rumah kami.
Alhamdulillah ‘Aaqil sangat mudah sesuaikan diri. Berkat banyak kali pindah sekolah dan bertukar tempat agaknya. Kat Al Amin dulu pun tukar kelas tiap tahun. Siapa sangka kan pengalaman lepas utk bg dia bersedia utk kat Cairo ni.
Kalau nak diikutkan serba serbi lain kat sekolah baru ni. Dari cikgu, subjek, silibus, sistem, kawan2, cuaca, bahasa….sebab tu rasa kagum ‘Aaqil takde masalah malah sangat positif. Mungkin sebab dah lama sangat tak dapat attend sekolah fizikal.
Paling ketara silibus Maths yang sangat advance. In Year 4 they already learned about angles, surface area, symmetry etc. English pulak ada pecah kpd guided reading, spelling & writing. Ada jugak kelas Music, Drama, PE, Science. Utk 3rd language ‘Aaqil ambil Arabic sebab sebelum ni kat Msia pun dah belajar Arab.
Lainnya sekolah ni tak pakai buku teks. So tiap hari tanya ‘Aaqil hari ni belajar apa lol. Bagitau dia kalau tak faham apape tanya teacher. Kalau segan, tulis pastu bwk balik tanya kat kami. Tapi so far semuanya ok. Cikgu pun kata dia ok.
Hari terakhir ambil ‘Aaqil kat sekolah sempat jumpa his class lead, Mr Trevor. Kira guru kelas la. He gave positive feedbacks on ‘Aaqil and told me not to worry about Year 5 as ‘Aaqil is on the right track. Coz i did asked him for syllabus summary of Year 4 since ‘Aaqil already missed 2 terms huhu. We also received a 2 page summary on ‘Aaqil’s performance for each subjects. Overall he did great and no issue on any subjects alhamdulillah.
Dear ‘Aaqil, if youre reading this do know that we are proud of you and no matter how big and amazing youll become, we will always have your back. Thank you for being the amazing person that you are ❤️♥️
