At Sekolah Tinta, every milestone, every achievement, and every effort is celebrated with fervour and enthusiasm. Recently, the school hosted its much-anticipated Tinta Appreciation Day, a day dedicated to honouring the dedication and hard work of both teachers, students, and their supportive parents. One of the highlights of the event was the presentation of awards for the best curriculum students. These awards recognise those who have excelled academically, demonstrating a commitment to learning and a thirst for knowledge. Through all of the subjects, students who have shown exceptional proficiency in their studies were acknowledged and applauded for their achievements. But excellence at Sekolah Tinta extends far beyond the classroom.

Furthermore, the event honoured the best students for each subject in every class. This level of recognition ensures that every student’s hard work and achievements are celebrated, fostering a culture of encouragement and support throughout the school community. Of course, none of this would be possible without the tireless dedication of Sekolah Tinta’s teachers. As mentors, guides, and role models, they play a pivotal role in shaping the lives of their students. Thus, Tinta Appreciation Day also served as an opportunity to express gratitude to the teachers who give so much of themselves to ensure the success and well-being of their students. Each teacher received a heartfelt token of appreciation, acknowledging their invaluable contributions to the school. And let’s not forget the parents, whose unwavering support and encouragement are instrumental in their children’s success. Their presence at Tinta Appreciation Day, celebrating alongside their children and the school community, is a testament to the strong partnership between home and school.

In a harmonious partnership with FreeTreeSociety, the Tinta Ecoteers Club has embarked on an eco-endeavor that promises to transform our school’s surroundings. With the generous donation of plants and flowers and the expert guidance provided, our once tranquil Green Area and Laman Tinta have sprung to life, breathing fresh vitality into our campus. This initiative goes beyond the mere act of planting; it is a holistic endeavour aimed at nurturing young minds with hands-on learning, stress reduction techniques, environmental awareness, and practical life skills. Hands-On Learning: Sowing Seeds of Knowledge The Landscape Planting Programme isn’t just about digging in the dirt; it’s a living laboratory for education. Students get a chance to witness firsthand the wonders of nature at work. From seed to sprout, they’ll track the growth process, learning about plant biology, the importance of soil health, and the intricate web of life within a garden. This experiential learning offers insights that textbooks can’t capture.  Stress Reduction  The soothing embrace of nature has long been celebrated for its calming effect on the human mind. Engaging in gardening activities provides an opportunity for students to disconnect from screens and immerse themselves in the vibrant world of flora. This act of nurturing and witnessing growth can be profoundly therapeutic, reducing stress levels and promoting mental well-being. Life Skills Taking Root Gardening is more than just a hobby; it’s a lesson in practical life skills. Students will learn the value of patience, as they witness the gradual growth of their green charges. They’ll acquire time-management skills as they schedule watering and care routines. Additionally, they’ll develop problem-solving abilities, as they tackle challenges like pest control and soil health. These skills will not only serve them in the garden but also in various aspects of their lives. As the Tinta Ecoteers Club and FreeTreeSociety join hands, they’re not merely planting flowers; they’re planting the seeds of knowledge, awareness, and personal growth. The Landscape Planting Programme promises to be a transformative experience, nurturing young minds to bloom in harmony with nature. This collaboration stands as a testament to the power of collective action in fostering a greener, more enlightened future.
