The new lower secondary one students

Sayyidina Hussain Secondary School yesterday welcomed approximately 300 new students who registered for the lower secondary one level, marking the first day of orientation.

The orientation commenced at 8.15 am, with the principal of the school, Cikgu Hajah Rosni binti Hj Mohd Amin, delivering her welcoming address to the new students as well as parents and guardians who accompanied them. Firstly she congratulated the new students for having passed the PSR exams. She also thanked the parents and guardians, whose support had been a vital part of the students' success.

The principal added that considering last year's enrolment figure was 266 students, the marked increase in students registering this year showed that the students have improved academically.

In her speech, Cikgu Hjh Rosni advised the students to learn to be independent in their approach to their studies, to have patience and work hard as they will face inevitable challenges especially as they are entering their adolescent stage. She also called for the support of the parents and guardians in respect to their children's academic matters, the school's special programmes and enrichment programmes, disciplinary matters such as punctuality and to spare their children from emotional disturbances stemming from domestic disputes.

The orientation programme will run for three days and includes lectures, counselling sessions with respect to academic, religious and disciplinary matters, co-curricular activities, familiarisation sessions and sports activities.
