Sekolah Rendah Layong, Tutong II
One aim: To Strive For Success

It's that time of the season where teachers' get together and cheer for their school, it's football season. Although we had a rough time with flash floods, which meant that football practice had to be put on hold for almost a week. Even so, practice before the flash flood starts was actually enough for us. We kick start with a tough game against Sekolah Rendah Rambai. First half wasn't a good start as we trail by 2goals to nil, it was during the 2nd half that we were able to change the complexion of the game to win 3-2








































Unfortunately, our good fortunes didn't last in the next round. SR Tumpuan Telisai was the team to beat but with statistics against us, we went out to cause an upset but found ourselves trailing by 3 goals to nil with a penalty miss in the first half. The second half shows some improvements in our game but we didn't show the same hunger as we showed against SR Rambai. Full time SR Tumpuan Telisai 4, SR layong 1



























Safety First

After a rather eventful week, with the flash floods and His Majesty's visit, school continues as usual on 12th of February. An activity was conducted by teachers to demonstrate the use of a life jacket in times of emergencies. Our school has been well equipped with life jackets and life buoys, briefings had been done before today but it is for the benefit for our children to get their minds refreshed about the do's and don'ts' when it comes to safety.

What is Cg Razak doing you might wonder? He is not going to jump into the water but rather a demonstration to show that a life buoy should be shared not to be used alone.









Cg Razak uses his experiences to teach pupils' how it's done.












Siti Miasarah(behind) and Md Syazwan, two of our school models for demonstrations of how to use a life jacket.










A rather enthusiastic Cg Hjh Salwana to teach pupils' the use of a whistle within the life jacket itself.










Cg. Hjh Salwana and Cg. Mariani showing the two different types of life jackets that our school is being provided.










Pupils' and teachers' alike looking forward towards the demonstration. Cg. Masnoriani seems excited.

On 10th January 2009, His Majesty visited Tutong. The purpose of his visit was to visit victims of flash floods and landslides, apart from visiting homes of victims, His Majesty also visited schools and this included SR Layong. His Majesty's visit shows how much he is concern about his citizens' welfare.

His Majesty arrived in a blue Pajero and teachers' in SR Layong rushed to the main entrance to greet His Majesty's arrival.










His Majesty's visit was greeted with joy by teachers at SR Layong.











Our GB (Cg. Kasim Bin Hj Marsal) show his Majesty around the school.











His Majesty also asked questions concerning children's studies.











We might be few in numbers but the way we work has always been TEAMWORK....

Flash Flood!!!!

Water. It is something that we depend on, it is useful for our daily use but is this a blessing or a curse? Since 4th January 2009, 5 schools were affected by the worse flood since 1962, this also included SR Layong. Teachers and pupils' found it hard to go to school not only with the strong current but also due to crocodiles lurking around the flooded areas. Teachers were only able to go in after 4days, ways to go in? Climbing the pipeline and walking through the waters.

Water levels rising as heavy rain goes on.












Fire fighters as well as soldiers on stand by due to the flooding around Layong.











The second time floods reach the main entrance of school only this time it's with strong current.











The route towards SR Layong were also effected causing massive absentees of teachers and pupils' alike.










Many properties were damaged due to the flood, one of the wood dispatched due to the strong current.










Seeing is believing, experiencing is way beyond imaging.











Most teachers say that this years flooding has to be the worse in history and certainly for some an experience to remember.

After the drawing contest, we teachers' discussed about the drawings of each group and of course the most creative drawing wins the contest. The prize presentation was conducted a week after the Co-Curricular activity. Prizes were presented by Cg. Kasim (GB).

The 1st place winner but why look so sad? Maybe this is not their 1st time.











The winners receiving their prizes from our GB. Keep up the good work lads.










Even Year 1 pupils' received gifts for their creativity. Good work.










Congratulations to our winners.

Some even stick stickers to make their greeting card attractive.

Co-Curriculum Activity

Every Thursday morning, our school will do Co- Curricular activities. For this particular week, we chose to do a drawing contest amongst groups. The theme was in conjunction with Chinese New Year.  Teachers' in charge were only there as a guide for pupils'. It was a fun activity that really kick start our morning blues.

Pupils' showing their excitement towards the task given to them. 











Samples were given to pupils' as an example for them to draw. Even boxes of mandarin oranges were brought to school.









Pupils' showing their creativity to make a greeting card. 










Hmmmm? Whose hand might this be? I can't remember pupils' wearing baju kurung with flower patterns on. 







This function was held as a farewell gift for 2 teachers(Cg Ismadi & Cg Nine) who will be furthering their studies at UBD, one relief teacher (Cg Asrul) who ended his service to the school last year and one teacher who was transferrred to SR Bakiau, Tutong I. Now, SR Layong is left with 12 teachers with 80 pupils' to teach. Tiring as it is, we teachers here are ready to step up to the challenges.

Cg. Ismadi receiving a gift from our GB (Cg. Kasim Bin Hj. Marsal). Cg. Ismadi was considered as one of the interactive minds around the school. Active in sports and yet fond for ICT. Definitely a good teacher.











Cg. Asrul's time at the school was rather brief but all his efforts to teach and guide pupils' here we will always cherish.









Cg Nine was considered as one of the most creative teachers around. Strict but yet nice, she will always be remembered by teachers and pupils' alike.
