AZIZI KHAMIS (811920)SGDU4031 CO-CURRICULUM MANAGEMENT

REFLECTION WRITING ON CLASS (28 29 MAC 2013)

In this reflective writing, I am going to talk about the class held by Dr. Hjh R
ahmahamong Fellows of Teach for Malaysia.In the first part of class, we went thr
ough the definition of co-curriculum, its objectivesand importance. Truthfully,
this was not new information to us as we have been in schoolsduring the past yea
r and have had our shares of experience dealing with co-curricular activities bu
t nevertheless, it served as a refresher for most of us. However, I couldnt help
but notice thatthe delivery of content during this session was a bit flawed. The
language, particularly in the presentation slides, was quite erroneous and some

e made this session more impactful.We were then given the group assignment of pr
eparing some paperwork to organize amock student trip, which exposed us to learn

hmah, in which she mentioned that while she has not been in school system since
30years ago, she has been one of the main proponents on the forming of the co-cu
rriculum blueprint. After hearing some of our stories (and woes) with the regard
s of the ways our schoolsare implementing co-curricular activities, she decided
to address them in the next meeting withher fellow staff. I will have to say tha
t this is one of the crucial sessions in which any issues onthe management of sc
hools are addressed by the Fellows and given due attention. I truly hope thematt
ers will be brought up, analyzed and actions be taken proactively in the interes
t of thestudents personal improvement.In the third part, we were given a group as
