Love overflows onto Jalan Sentul

1st March, Thursday, 2012. Early that morning, I and Ms Anne Mathews went to the area behind the school gate. When my students first saw me and Ms Anne near the gate, they probrably thought we were standing there to catch them on some issue and to fault them. Imagine their surprise and shock when we cheerily greeted them and welcomed them to school. I said "Good morning, girls!" and Ms Anne followed up with  "Welcome to school. " The expressions on our girls faces were priceless! I wished I took photos of their incredulous expressions! The girls could not respond to our greeting because they were just too shocked! Many girls turned back and took a second look at us after they had passed us because they simply could not believe the school principal and a senior teacher was actually welcoming them to school. They probrably thought we had gone cuckoo!



Good morning! Welcome to school! Pn Bong warmly greets
the students .
and shakes their hands




Car lights are still switched on as it is pretty early. Traffic is already very heavy.
We await our students on this side of Jalan Sentul.
They will cross Jalan Sentul when the traffic light change colour..
We need a pedestrain crossing for our girls!

 The second morning. This time, the duty teacher Pn Siti Shazalina had gone ahead of me and Pn Kamaliah. Instead of standing behind the school gate like we did the first morning, Pn Siti Shazalina took the iniatiative to walk past the school gate and waited on the main road of Jalan Sentul for our students. When we realized she was on the main road rather than behind the gate,  we joined her.

This time our girls were more responsive. They burst out in bright smiles as  they saw us waiting for their coming. Parents sending their children to school were also pleasantly surprised by us standing there on the main road of Jalan Sentul. In fact the whole of Jalan Sentul, together with the traffic police, our traffic warden and the heavy early morning traffic must have witnessed the love of the guru penyayang, all overflowing out from our hearts to the girls, right there in full view of the busy Jalan Sentul.

The third morning saw Pn Bong, Pn Mastura, Pn Sarah and me awaiting the girls on Jalan Sentul, Now parents and our girls have ready smiles as they see us awaiting their coming and warmly welcoming them.
