Back to school April 2019

With the first school holidays for the year 2019 almost over and our short enjoyment of it, we look forward to going back to school. The school year consists of two semesters. Each with a short mid semester break like the one we just enjoyed and a longer mid semester break. The mid semester break will be around 24th or 25th May depending on which state of Malaysia your school is located.

The next half of this semester is about 2 months long. You can expect to meet teachers during the Parent Teacher's Day which is usually carried out in the middle of the year. Some schools may differ. You can also expect your child to celebrate Teacher's Day on 16th May, 2019. For those who like to be prepared early you can visit the Teacher's Day gift discussion threads from previous years for gift ideas for teacher.
