Hari Sukaneka dan Majlis Anugerah Cemerlang 2018

By the fourth quarter of 2018, Iskul is fortunate to have recruited a team of two field coordinators working hand-in-hand to manage the operation on the ground in Omadal Island, providing guidance to Mastal Arikik (MA) and giving support to our Headmistress.

After some time of planning and preparation, Iskul coordinated the Hari Sukaneka & Majlis Anugerah Cemerlang on 30 December 2018, aptly marking the end of another year of learning and acknowledging everyone’s effort for the year. Our students (including our MAs) enjoyed sukaneka activities, thus, our Field Coordinators, Aida and Sikin planned a full-day event starting with sukaneka in the afternoon followed by awards ceremony at night.

This blog entry would be slightly different as we will be extracting from the reports our Field Coordinators have put together. We wish to acknowledge the hard work they put into sharing the details of the day with us.

Hang in there because this will be one of our longest posts yet! Nevertheless, we hope you will enjoy the post as much as we do!

Hari Sukaneka Iskul 2018

Hari Sukaneka Iskul Sama Dilaut Omadal telah berjaya dianjurkan pada 30 Disember 2018. Penganjurannya disambut baik oleh kesemua pihak yang terlibat. Tambahan lagi, objektif penganjuran Hari Sukaneka dapat dicapai dengan jayanya. Dua objektif utama penganjuran Hari Sukaneka Iskul adalah untuk (1) memberi latihan pelaksanaan program yang lebih strategik dalam kalangan pasukan pelaksana dan pelajar Iskul, dan (2) melahirkan hubungan baik dalam kalangan komuniti tempatan dan komuniti tidak bekewarganegaraan. Persiapan awal telah dilakukan sejak 29 Disember lagi oleh Penyelaras, MA dan dibantu oleh beberapa orang pelajar dan juga ahli komuniti kampung Pulau Omadal Selatan.

Sepanjang pelaksanaan Hari Sukaneka Iskul, beberapa acara telah dilakukan dan peserta setiap acara adalah dari kalangan ibu bapa dan pelajar. Selain itu, pelajar Iskul bergotong royong membersihkan kawasan yang gelanggang selepas pelaksanaan program. Pelaksanaan Hari Sukaneka yang teratur ini memberi manfaat kepada semua pihak dan sekaligus hubungan baik antara dua pihak terjalin erat. Dan yang paling utama, hasil daripada penganjuran sukaneka dapat memberi suntikan semangat ingin belajar dan berdaya saing dalam kalangan pelajar Iskul.

Jam 2.00ptg: Ibu bapa dan penjaga pelajar dijemput untuk turun aktiviti Hari Sukaneka Iskul. Aktiviti dijadualkan berlangsung pada jam 3.00ptg kerana air laut mula surut pada masa tersebut. Sekiranya dibuat awal atau dibuat pada masa air laut sedang pasang, ramai ibu bapa dan pelajar tidak dapat turun kerana ketiadaan bot. Pada masa yang sama, Penyelaras, MA dan sukarelawan dari Pulau Omadal bertungkus-lumus menyiapkan peralatan sukaneka di setiap stesen.

Jam 3.00ptg: Hari Sukaneka Iskul dimulakan dengan penerangan ringkas berkenaan sukaneka, kemudian diteruskan dengan pembahagian kumpulan. Setiap peserta diikatkan riben pada pergelangan tangan mereka untuk memudahkan pembahagian kumpulan. Pembahagian kumpulan dilaksanakan oleh Pn.Roziah dan Aida. Semua peserta dibahagikan kepada 4 kumpulan iaitu merah, biru, hijau, dan kuning.

Aktiviti 1: Isi Air Dalam Botol

Dua orang peserta dari setiap kumpulan ditugaskan untuk mengisi air dalam botol menggunakan tin yang dilubangkan. Peserta dikehendaki berlari sepantas yang mereka boleh dalam masa 3 minit.

Aktiviti 2: Makan Biskut

Biskut diikatkan pada tiang gol gelanggang, kemudian peserta perlu mencapai biskut tanpa menggunakan tangan. Peserta yang dibenarkan bermain adalah 3 orang setiap kumpulan dan permainan ini diperuntukkan masa 5 minit.

Aktiviti 3: Lari dalam Guni

Dalam permainan ini, setiap kumpulan perlu menghantar dua orang wakil untuk bermain. Masa permainan adalah 6 minit. Peserta perlu berlari di dalam guni ke garisan penamat dalam tempoh masa yang singkat. Guni telah dipinjam oleh komuniti kampung Pulau Omadal.

Aktiviti 4: Bowling Kelapa

Permainan ini dimainkan oleh 3 orang peserta setiap kumpulan. Masa permainan adalah 4 minit. Peserta dibekalkan dengan kelapa dan dikehendaki membaling kelapa ke arah botol yang berisi air yang disusun dalam bentuk segitiga. Kumpulan menang dengan mengambil kira masa digunakan untuk menjatuhkan kesemua botol-botol tersebut.

Aktiviti 5: Lari Sambut Baton

Permainan ini dimainkan oleh 3 orang peserta dari setiap kumpulan. Peserta pertama perlu adalah dari kalangan ibu bapa atau penjaga manakala peserta kedua dan ketiga adalah dari kalangan pelajar. Setiap peserta perlu berlari untuk suatu jarak yang ditentukan dan kembali menyerahkan baton kepada rakan mereka seterusnya dalam masa 4 minit.

Aktiviti 6: Futsal

Permainan terakhir Hari Sukaneka Iskul adalah pertandingan futsal. Pasukan dari Kampung Hujung Omadal akan bertanding dengan Pasukan dari Kampung Bajau Laut Omadal. Had masa permainan adalah 5 minit setiap perlawanan. Permainan futsal disertai oleh 6 pasukan yang terdiri daripada 3 pasukan untuk kategori wanita dan 3 pasukan untuk kategori lelaki.

Gotong-royong juga telah dilakukan sebelum semua peserta beredar pulang ke Pondok Iskul untuk berehat.

Jam 5.00ptg: Sesi terakhir Hari Sukaneka Iskul adalah jamuan ringan. Menu jamuan adalah jus oren dan mee goreng yang disediakan oleh Puan Roziah (Guru Besar Iskul) dan penyediaannya dibantu oleh wakil PIBG iaitu Ibu kepada Manoel, dan Ibu kepada Mohd Akdam. Sebelum jamuan berakhir, kesemua peserta dan pelajar Iskul mengambil gambar kumpulan sebagai kenangan.

Acara perasmian dan penyampaian hadiah ditangguhkan kepada sesi malam semasa Majlis Anugerah Cemerlang.

Peperiksaan Akhir Tahun Sesi 2018

Peperiksaan Akhir Tahun Sesi 2018 telah berlangsung pada 16 Disember 2018. Peperiksaan ini diadakan bertujuan untuk menguji akan tahap penguasaan 3M (Membaca, Menulis, Mengira) pelajar. Peperiksaan kali ini dihadiri oleh 18 orang pelajar Iskul. Mata pelajaran Bahasa Melayu dan Matematik adalah dua mata pelajaran yang perlu diuji. Kertas soalan disediakan sepenuhnya oleh Penyelaras Aida dan juga MA Noraida dan kertas soalan disediakan berdasarkan pelajaran yang sudah dipelajari oleh pelajar sebelum ini.

Hasil daripada ujian tersebut hampir kesemua pelajar yang hadir dapat menjawab kehendak soalan. Namun begitu pelajar masih memerlukan latih tubi yang lebih lagi untuk meningkatkan penguasaan mereka dalam menguasai 3 kemahiran iaitu membaca, menulis dan mengira.

Majlis Anugerah Cemerlang 2018

Iskul Anniversary & Award Day Celebration

Schools celebrate students in dozens of different ways. They celebrate students’ creativity, academics and attendance. Every student is looking forward to the day as they will have their names called and they will walk with their head held high towards the stage to receive their award. Not for me. In my school days, Awards Day is only for the excellent and the talented. For an average student like me, the next opportunity to walk up to the stage during the ceremony is to be part of the organising committee and I signed up for it.
As I was writing this essay, I found many debates online about celebrating students in Awards Day. Regardless if the award was recognising grades or talents, students compete to receive an invitation card to bring home to their parents. Awards Day became a pride and vanity day, so to speak.
Now an adult, I have a different view. Awards Day does not just recognise grades and talents, but it should compliment values and attitude. Yet, how do we measure values and attitude? How do we scale them? In a world where competition awards few people on the backs of many, and where rewards and resources are conferred inequitably, it is understandable that children associate awards with a system that reinforces self-worth by naming winners and losers. I was brought up on a numeric scale of grades achieved in school, and now working with a vague idea in mind to stop that culture from taking its roots in Iskul.
Iskul Sama DiLaut Omadal (Iskul) proudly marked their first anniversary since the project which started in August 2015. Iskul’s milestone belongs to everyone, namely our students, our Mastal Arikik, our Headmistress, and our donors. Therefore, it is only apt that we celebrate the time and effort they have invested in Iskul. We recognise our student’s attendance to class and we recognise their effort in learning, although unfortunately through grades for now. We recognise our Mastal Arikik’s time and effort to teach. We recognise our Headmistress who multitasks between home, community, environment and Iskul. In short, Iskul wants to recognise and award everyone for being part of the making of Iskul for the past one year.
Awards Day is usually associated with collecting certificates and this is where we learn our first lesson. For stateless children who are just learning to read and write in Iskul, their first reaction when they received the certificate was to confirm with us if the certificate will prevent them from getting caught by the enforcement officers when they are in town. It breaks our hearts. The fear and the insecurity in their daily lives were all displayed. For us urban dwellers, certificates proved our credibility, for these stateless children, the only certificate they even encounter before is a legal document that prevents them from being deported to the Philippines, an unfamiliar place to them for they are considered as illegal immigrants in Malaysia. We learn very quickly that Iskul’s vision to provide them basic literacy has just expanded.
During the Awards Day, we had invited our student’s parents to witness the historical moment when their child walks up to the stage to receive a certificate of enrolment from the Head of Omadal Hujung village. I felt teary to see our students walked up the stage when their names together with their parent’s were called – imagine the emotions their parents experience hearing their names called. We took the extra mile to also acknowledge the parents of three top students who did well in examinations as we called them up to the stage to receive food ration as an award. We had been told that the parents of these three children took the extra miles to ensure their children who are enrolled in Iskul to not miss a lesson. Some even forbid their child from following them fishing in the sea if the day after is a weekend because they want their children to go to Iskul and learn to read and write. Therefore, Iskul feels that their parents play a huge role in their child’s achievements as well.
In Iskul, we do not want to just recognise those that excel in specific areas; we want to recognise EACH student for the areas in which he/she excels. For that reason, Iskul looks forward to developing the appropriate syllabus that will cater to the development of moral values in our Mastal Arikik and our students as well as their livelihood skills to allow them to help improve their family’s income.
Following the Awards Day, we received more requests from other parents who would like to enrol their children to Iskul. Regardless of their motivation, we are pleased to know that we have made aware of opportunities for the stateless community to be literate and Iskul is given a chance to provide that. Hence, Iskul has great ambition to build a house on stilts that can function as classroom spaces for our students and ensure a conducive environment for learning. Currently, they are conducting their classes in the kitchen space of our Headmistress, sidewalk next to one of our Mastal Arikik’s home and in a worn-out community hall (that also poses some danger when lesson takes place).
In our long-term vision, Iskul wants to build a culture where everyone feels special in their very unique way. We want our students to feel proud being a Bajau Laut community yet should not sit still obliging to the societal perception where the absence of citizenship will hinder them from breaking away from it. Having the thought in mind, Iskul looks forward to receiving volunteer tutors who would like to spend time in Iskul to instil the important value of self-acceptance in this community, especially the children.
In a nutshell, first year anniversary and Awards Day marks another chapter in developing and fine-tuning our operation in Iskul from empowering our Mastal Arikik in teaching to bringing the world closer to our students as well as encouraging good neighbourliness between Malaysian and stateless community living in the vicinity of the same area, especially in Omadal Island. Iskul wants to be a space where we bridge the marginalised community to the world.
