A thanksgiving ceremony for Year Six teachers of the Brunei III schools was held yesterday afternoon at the Stadium Restaurant, Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium in Berakas. The event’s guest of honour was Hj Jaafar Hj Ahmad, Acting Deputy Assistant Director, the Ministry of Education’s Primary Section.

The function started with a recital of the Al-Fatihah and Doa Kesyukuran, followed by a welcoming speech from the Chairman of Jasper Br III, Abd Rahman Hj Mustapa. Hj Jaafar was invited to deliver his speech, in which he congratulated all the teachers that had put an effort on their students, which in turn has shown positive seeds of success when the PSR results came out.

Three schools have been nominated as the top, which managed to achieve the highest passing percentages in last year’s PSR examinations. They were HMJM Kiulap Primary School in Beribi, Telanai Primary School and OKSB Kilanas Primary School. Each received prizes sponsored by Outshine Tuition.

There were also five teachers nominated as the subject teachers who successfully managed to produce the most Grade ‘A’s in the PSR exams. They were Hjh Radiani Hj Gani (for the Bahasa Melayu subject), Hjh Haslina Abdullah (Mathematics), Hjh Aslinda Hj Ali Akbar (Science), Kassim Hj Ibrahim (General Paper) and Alimah Hj Ahim (English Language).

They all received prizes sponsored by Hjh Hasnah Kula, Acting Deputy Assistant Director for Districts Br I & III.
