The full credentials of all of the academic staff can be found on the school website. Lifelong learners themselves, our Integrity Empathy Mutual Respect 4 KTJ Parent Handbook (Secondary) ​ Return to index page teachers consistently reflect on and analyse their own practice, seeking to constantly improve the quality of their teaching, and consequently the learning experiences of the students. To support this, teaching staff regularly attend training courses organised by senior and middle leaders, other teachers and by external agencies. As well as teaching academic lessons, our teachers also run, or help students to run, our extensive ECA and sports programme. They also act as Mentors and deliver our PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education) curriculum. Many of the teachers also work within the Houses, either as Houseparents or as Tutors. There is a very strong sense of community at KTJ, with teachers getting to know the students extremely well. ABSENCES We expect students to attend all lessons and to fulfill all of their school commitments. As missing school has a negative impact on learning, we request that parents refer to the school calendar when booking all holidays and flights. If day students are unwell and need to be absent, parents should inform their Houseparent as soon as possible, preferably the day before, or, in emergencies, by 8.15 am on the day of absence. For both day students and boarders, request for one or two days leave of absence on compassionate or personal grounds, or in exceptional circumstances, should be made in writing to the Houseparent well in advance of the proposed absence. If the proposed leave is longer, parents should write to the Principal. If for any reason, a student has to miss lessons due to a pre-arranged absence, they must let their teachers know in advance so that measures can be put in place for them to catch up with any missed work. Students who are unwell when at school must report to the Health Centre. They must obtain a medical note from the Health Centre to show to the relevant member of staff if they are unfit to do sports or other activities. All absences are recorded on our iSAMS, the school management system. AIR-CONDITIONING In order to create a more comfortable and conducive environment for learning, teaching and living, air conditioning has been installed in every classroom and in the Houses. In the Houses it is operational when required in several shared areas, and from 7pm to 7am in the student bedrooms. The Auditorium, Arc and Tuanku Najihah Hall are also equipped with air-conditioning units. KTJ is an eco-friendly school that champions sustainability, so the use of air conditioning is regulated. AIRPORTS Kuala Lumpur International Airport is the main airport of Malaysia. It has two terminals, KLIA 1 and KLIA 2. It is located 45 minutes away from KTJ. KLIA 2 normally receives passengers travelling with low cost airlines, such as AirAsia and Tiger Airways, whilst KLIA 1 handles other operators. The school can organise for students to be taken to the airport, and to be supervised checking in if necessary (fees may apply). Integrity Empathy Mutual Respect 5 KTJ Parent Handbook (Secondary) ​ Return to index page Getting to KTJ: At KLIA 1 or KLIA 2 there are airport taxis, limousines and minivans available for hire. Look for the Taxi and Limousine Counters, just after customs, prior to exiting the arrivals gates. Fixed fares according to destination zones are to be paid at the counters. Please be aware of touts approaching unwary visitors offering their services as you exit the arrival lounges. They operate illegal taxis and often over-charge; safety levels for such touts are also a concern. On arrival at the airport, it is recommended that students take an official metered taxi to the school - Kolej Tuanku Ja’afar, Mantin is the address to give at one of the official taxi booths. Getting to KLIA or KLIA2 from KTJ: The school has a pool of regular licensed taxi drivers who have all had police checks and who service all of its transport requirements. Trips to the airport (and elsewhere) by taxi can be arranged through the Houseparent. The cost can either be paid directly to the driver or charged to parents via the end of term bill. ASSESSMENTS and EXAMINATIONS Most of the assessment that takes place during the academic year is ‘formative assessment’, which can happen in many ways. Teachers use this type of assessment to consistently check on what their students know, understand, and can do, and then plan future lessons accordingly. More formal assessments in the form of ‘tests’ will also take place throughout the year, at different times, depending on the requirements of each subject. Tests are carried out during lessons. Formal examinations take place in an examination room, which can be a classroom but is more often the Multi-Purpose Hall (MPH) or the foyer of the Auditorium. Students in Forms 1 to 4 sit end-of-year examinations towards the end of Term 3. These examinations are set and marked by their teachers.

  • Leadership System of Adat Perpatih in Malaysia As a Model of Consensus and Democracy Concept: an Analytical Study
    PSYCHOLOGY AND EDUCATION (2021) 58(3): 1199-1206 ISSN: 00333077 Leadership System of Adat Perpatih In Malaysia As A Model of Consensus and Democracy Concept: An Analytical Study Mualimin Mochammad Sahid1*, Mohammad Chaedar2, Baidar Mohammed Mohammed Hasan1, Fettane Amar3 1Faculty of Syariah and Law, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia 2 Faculty of Quran and Sunnah, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia 3 Department of Quran and Sunnah, International Islamic University Malaysia *[email protected] ABSTRACT Adat Perpatih is a customary practice among people in Malaysia, especially Negeri Sembilan state. It is an unwritten custom that has been inherited for generations since 17th century and is practiced to this day. The custom has become a national cultural heritage that is well preserved, and it becomes the uniqueness of the community in Negeri Sembilan state. The noble values of Adat Perpatih customary practices which clearly guided by Islamic religion and derived from its teachings have been recognized in shaping the social and community values in the country. One of these values is the leadership system which is not only highly regarded for its pure value, but has also been the main reference and the backbone that forms the Council of Rulers (Majlis Raja- Raja) as well as the Constitutional Monarchy system in Malaysia. This article will examine the extent to which the practice of electing leaders in Adat Perpatih practices relates to the concept of consensus and democracy in Islam which is the official religion in Malaysia. The research methodology used in this paper is qualitative research which combined the method of literature review and history of customary origins in order to analyse issues related to Adat Perpatih practices especially in appointing leaders or Kings in Negeri Sembilan state.

  • Hari Raya Celebrations Further Strengthens Goodwill and Unity
    20 FEB 1996 Aidilfitri (Roundup) HARI RAYA CELEBRATIONS FURTHER STRENGTHENS GOODWILL AND UNITY KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 20 (Bernama) -- Muslims today celebrated Hari Raya Aidilfitri which this year brought double joy as it coincided with the Chinese New Year festival. The simultaneous celebrations by the two major races of Malaysia's multi-racial population was symbolic of the goodwill and unity prevailing in the country. The joy was more overwhelming with Muslims in Indonesia and Singapore also celebrating Hari Raya today. Since last night, the "Takbir Aidilfitri," signalling the end of a month-long fast during the month of Ramadhan and onset of Syawal, was heard from mosques, over radio and on television. This morning, Muslims thronged the mosques for Hari Raya prayers before visiting cemetaries to pay respect at the graves of beloved ones. Families then gathered in their festival finery and children sought forgiveness of parents for misdeeds during the past year before laying out the Hari Raya fare for open house. As usual there were ketupat, lemang and redang and a wide variety of cakes and Hari Raya goodies, popular among Malaysians during open house. In the federal capital, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Ja'afar and Raja Permaisuri Agong Tuanku Najihah attended prayers at the National Mosque. In the congregation were also Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Muslim ministers and deputy ministers. Among the thousands of followers were foreign students and workers. After the prayers, their Majesties were greeted by the people who wished them "Selamat Hari Raya." The city was quiet, with little traffic and activity, after most of the people in the greater Kuala Lumpur area left for hometowns to celebrate Chinese New Year and Hari Raya Aidilfitri with families.
