Cg Hj Roslan & Cg Norhidayah helped the students to reach the finish line!!!

The first day of school is always an exciting experience for students especially new ones. It is especially so for those who had just entered a higher level in their education, from primary to secondary. The transition can also be the most nerve racking experience for the students as they are unfamiliar with not only the teachers, but also the school itself, and the students.

280 new students who had enrolled Year 7 in the Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien collage found their orientation day, a day full of challenges and activities all of which were designed to not only help the students take in their new surroundings but also helps them to interact with other students and showcase some of their hidden talent.

The two day induction course 2 day induction course organised by the Counselling Department of Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien collage was not only familiarising students with the collage, the staff as well as the other programs but also was full of ‘fun’ for the students

Instead of the usual briefing and tour around the collage, SOAS collage had taken orientation day to be fun for the students at the same time bring in some value added moral and ethical values which the students will need as they progress through their education.

Sports activities with games and activities designed to promote teamwork and team building for the students, not to mention this little activity helps students interacts with one another and through the activities they are able to depend on one other.

Speaking on the elite program itself, he said that the students will not enjoy learning in a school with top facilities, but also their program will have added value subjects, such as arts, sports and music. The program will encourage students not only to excel in academics but also in other areas.

The program will be shaping leaders of the future, with the personal and character development which the program has in mind, he said that he is confident that SOAS collage through the elite program will be producing generations of leaders of the future.

SOAS principal donates to orphans

The donation ceremony was held at the College's surau, where the Principal of SOAS college, Pg Hj Zahari Pg Hj Ahmad, presented the donations to the students.

He said that the donations were in small way to help ease the burden of the orphans studying in SOAS college. The college has its own special welfare fund where it is specifically to help students in need.

The donations today were not only through the use of the fund but also from teachers and individuals who had graciously donated money for the students.

He emphasized to the students that they must study hard to help their families, especially their parents so that in the future they are able to help support their family. Most of the students are without fathers and are raised by their mothers.

While most of them have other older siblings that help the family, some of the students are the eldest in the family, and hence the burden of responsibility weighs greatly on their shoulders.

Pg Hj Zahari said that at times it is though for the students who have only a mother or a father to raise them. They face challeges taht we can only imagine. He hopes that the students will be able to shine during their studies and do well in thier exams for the sake of themselves and their families.

Borneo Bulletin, 15th May 2009 : By Mohammad Abdullah

To further enhance their teaching and communicative skills, 17 counselling teachers including those from pre-vocational schools attended a basic course on sign language. The course, which began yesterday, will conclude on June 11 and is organised by Jabatan Bimbingan Dan Kaunseling, Maktab SOAS.

The programme is based on the 'Signing Exact English (SEE)' and was conducted by Cikgu Sirazzudeen bin Md Maideen from SOAS College and officers from UPK. Among the objectives of the event are to fulfil one of the counselling ethics needed for the field and to better communicate with students, especially those with special needs.

Counsellors and teachers from SOAS College, Rimba Secondary School, Pengiran Anak Puteri Hjh Rashidah Secondary School Lumut, Pengiran Jaya Negara Pg Hj Abu Bakar Secondary School Kuala Belait, Sekolah Tinggi Perempuan Raja Isteri STPRI, Sayyidina Umar Al Khattab Secondary School Lumapas, Berakas Secondary School, Pengiran Dipa Negara Sengkarai Secondary School, Tutong and Sayyidina Abu Bakar Secondary School are taking part in the course.

Through better understanding and learning of the basic sign language skills (SEE), counsellors may provide better counselling to not only students with special needs but also to teachers and mainstream students whilst utilising the newly acquired skill to foster closer ties amongst them.
It will also provide the opportunity for special needs children to learn alongside mainstream students as their special needs is not a hindrance for them to learn.

Sepanjang tempoh itu mereka diberi taklimat, bimbingan mengenai asas PSR dan juga mengikuti aktiviti untuk meningkatkan lagi taraf dan kemahiran diri sebagai seorang PRS.
Program PRS berbeza daripada program lain kerana menggunakan pengaruh rakan sebaya dan anggota PRS dilatih dan diselia secara teratur mengikut modul latihan yang terancang dalam bidang asas komunikasi dan kaunseling.

Program itu bertujuan bukan untuk menjadikan mereka sebagai kaunselor tetapi membekalkan mereka dengan kemahiran penting dalam perhubungan manusia. Kaunselor sekolah diberi amanah untuk melatih mereka dengan lengkap sebelum diiktiraf sebagai PRS.

Di samping itu di sekolah PRS bertindak sebagai penyambung kepada khidmat kaunseling dengan mengadakan perbincangan dan menggalakkan rakan bertemu dengan kaunselor supaya masalah mereka dapat dibantu dengan lebih berkesan.

Prinsip asas program PRS iaitu membantu diri supaya dapat membantu orang lain menggalakkan anggota PRS sentiasa meningkatkan diri dan bersikap positif.
Mereka menjadi contoh teladan yang baik kepada rakan sebaya dari segi akademik dan juga perhubungan manusia.
