Tawau:
The Holy Trinity Kindergarten holds their yearly graduation day on
Saturday, 18th November 2017 where some 400, including parents and family
members of the Kindergarten children, attended the event beginning from 7.30 to 11.30 in the morning.
The theme for this year's
event is “The Beauty of Kindergarten”
whereby some 93 pupils, aged
6-years old, joyfully received their certificate upon completing their
preschool education at Holy Trinity Parish Hall.
The ceremony began with a
prayer in Bahasa Malaysia led by a Catholic student.
Sr. Mary Julita Joseph, the In
charge of Holy Trinity Kindergarten, expressed her gratitude and thanks
for the valuable participation of parents by witnessing the success of their
children who completed their early education. “Coming together and witnessing the graduation event for your children
is part of the love and concern you show to your children, a gesture which
helps develop their confidence and self- esteem,” she said. She also thanked
all the support and assistance received from the parents who put their trust in
sending their children to the Kindergarten. As per record, Holy Trinity
Kindergarten reached its 93 years of existence since 1924 producing good and
better students preparatory to a higher education.
A few invited guests were
present, including Mr Renaldo Delos Santos, the chairman of the Board of
Governors for Holy Trinity Kindergarten Tawau, with his team, Mr Boney
Joumil, the Parent Teachers Association
(PIBG /PTA) Chairperson and St. Patrick Kindergarten Principal.
Mr Boney also thanked everyone
for the support shown by the teachers and also the parents in making the event
successfully organized.
Mr Renaldo shared his views on
the importance of Preschool education in preparing them to face the growing
challenges in terms of educational opportunities. He stressed also that a good
education cannot be denied and pre-school education is one of the opportunities
provided by both the government and the private sector to be available to
everyone.
Early education not only
stresses on learning the subject taught but also about learning how to interact
socially at the very early stage. This is also where the children learn how to
be in communion with other people with various backgrounds. Most of all, they
learn the basic moral values in their tender years.
Besides the presentation of
certificate, all other pupils from year 4 and 5 had presented their dancing
presentation beautifully. The presentation of gifts to those who have won in
the earlier competition such as colouring and drawing competition, English and
Bahasa Malaysia reading competition and the best attendance of the year added
to the excitement of everyone.
The program then ended at
11.30 in the morning to greet the long-awaited school holiday for children.
