Good day to everyone reading this. Since I
was one of the librarians there during the orientation, I was entrusted with
the duty of writing this. I procrastinated on this... partly because I’m
feeling weighed down by school work and partly because I’m a sad,
‘inexperienced’ teacher...
But
here it is! Enjoy reading what happened during on the 31st of
December, 2012!
Just two days
before the first day of school, the school held an orientation for the first-formers
to give them a head start. With their new school uniforms and their nervous
faces, the new students looked extremely cute! They reminded me of myself
during my orientation 4 years ago, but that is another story.
Being new to the
school, they seemed lost with their nervous eyes wandering around the unfamiliar
surroundings. Some found their old friends and began to chat about their holidays,
while some lost ones clinging onto their parents for dear life. Some of them
don’t even know their classes! Poor things....
You may be
wondering, why was I there when the orientation was held? Well, the school must
have assumed that the poor first-formers would get lost on their first day in
the school, so prefects and librarians to the rescue! Nope, I wasn’t there to
escort them or whatnot, I, along with the few librarians on duty that day were
busy as bees in the morning to clean the Library. It’s important to give a good
impression of the library to the first-formers during their little ‘tour’
around the school.
The morning
started off with a speech from the school principal, Puan Azizah followed by
speeches from the vice principals, parent-teacher association representatives
and the teachers. Also, it looks like we have a new discipline teacher for our
school, Puan Gan. Well, I was shocked, to say the least...
After the
assembly, the prefects took the first-formers around the school for a ‘tour’.
They’ll be visiting places like the laboratories and the Library before going
to their respective classes. I’m not sure what happened to those without
classes because we librarians retreated to the library to prepare for their arrival.
After the Head Librarian gave us a short briefing, we waited patiently for the
new students to arrive.
Time seemed to go
by so slowly when you have nothing to do. When we were almost bored out of our
minds, the prefects told us that the first-formers are not visiting the
library. Well that’s just dandy! All our hard work preparing the library for them
was for nothing! Oh well, at least the library looks clean and pristine.
Apparently, they went
into their classes to receive their textbooks, without dropping by the library!

Well, that's all from me
