Well I have signed up for the 4KM Shark Hero Conservation Run 2017, yeah it's a fun walk no worry that we no need to run for it. Just healthy walk together with family and kids.
It's coming towards end of the year, this year we only have to two fun family run together, first one is we went the Candy Walkathon, now 2nd would be this.
Raise awareness "No to shark Fins ", Save the ocean
Yeah it's time to say No to shark fins, we need to save the sharks else they will be no more sharks in the sea. Save the ocean as let everyone knows that we shouldn't throw rubbish or plastic bags into the sea. Plastics bags often mistake as food by the sea animals and they ate it and died. For example straw, we cannot throw into sea too, I saw the Youtube that sea turtle has got the straw stuck in its nose. Talking of shark, my sons love the baby shark songs that we saw on Youtube.

Adjust the straps of a level that you feel comfortable.
Bend body forward. Slip a hand into the back of the bra and sweep the fatty tissues to the front, and back into the bra cup.
Stand straight. Slip your hand again into the cup and lift the breasts while holding the wire in the correct position with the other hand.
Ensure that the bra snugs horizontally around your body.

Being mom of two boys, I know the important of education and glad to have take time out to attend this private event on last Thursday' morning. Education today
is no longer about the consumption of knowledge. Schools today are preparing
their students for challenges in real life and imparting skills that they would
use in a highly competitive 21st century. With that, the role of a
teacher in moulding citizens of the future is an ever important one and the
learning approach in schools needs to change to reflect the needs of the
future.
AISM celebrates being the First Certified Visible Learning School in the World.
The Australian
International School Malaysia, a part of Taylor’s Schools, knows how the
delivery of an international curriculum is and has invested in equipping its
teachers and students with a new teaching and learning method called the
Visible Learning approach alongside the Australian curriculum. The school which
has offered an Australian education in Malaysia for the past 17 years, held a
launch ceremony on 12 October to announce that it is the first Certified
Visible Learning School in the world. This is testimony to its commitment to
deliver outstanding teaching and learning practices at its campus in Seri
Kembangan.
"The number one thing that differentiates an impactful teacher from others is passion about children's learning, a teacher who has taken time and effort to build up trust between themselves and the student. We are working hard to ensure this is our schools," says BK Gan, President of Taylors Schools.
Visible Learning is an evidence-based approach to teaching and learning researched and developed by Professor John Hattie of the University of Melbourne. Professor John Hattie's Visible Learning practices have influenced teaching practices and form the basis of teacher training courses for many years in schools from New Zealand to Scandinavia and United States. It was only recently that Visible Learning School Awards were being awarded, and because of the commitment of our teachers and leaders towards Visible Learning practices that AISM have become the first school worldwide to revive such an accolade.
The private
event was attended by a 150-strong audience, including representatives from the
Australian High Commission and Malaysian Ministry of Education and Department
of Education, members of influential business associations and organisations,
AISM parents and staff, as well as members of the media. The event was proudly
sponsored by AISM’s neighbouring property developer BRDB Developments,
Australian property company Central Equity, Jasons Food Hall, Brandt Malaysia
and Cezar’s Kitchen Sdn Bhd.
The highlight
of the ceremony was an appearance by the recently crowned Australia Masterchef
Winner 2017, Diana Chan, who was not only invited to show off her
culinary skills in an exclusive cooking demonstration with a student, she also
shared her MasterChef journey of trials and challenges and how she used Visible
Learning attributes towards her success. It's the day that I get to meet Diana Chan in person, she's friendly and has a good skill in cooking, she can cook while answer questions of the guests at the event.
Diana Chan, Masterchef Australia Winner 2017 speaks about her Masterchef journey and how she achieved her goals
“I am so
impressed by the Australian International School Malaysia and the way they are
preparing their students to be successful in life as well as successful in
their academic studies. It is impressive to see children learning how to set
high goals, recognising the importance of listening to feedback and giving good
feedback as well as learning how to reflect on mistakes. I hope my children in
the future can go to a school like AISM,” says Diana Chan, the Malaysian-born
Melbourne-based accountant by profession.

Diana also supports charitable causes, one of which is Beyond Blue,
an Australian, independent non-profit organization which addresses
issues with depression, anxiety disorders and related mental disorders.
The school donated money and raised funds during the event towards this
organisation. Diana also participated in a live cook-out session,
assisted by a AISM Year 11 student, Annabelle Bateman, who had emerged
as winner in an all-student cooking competition organised by AISM for
its students, prior to the launch ceremony.
The guests were later taken on a Visible Learning classroom tour where
they saw students being taught with clear learning intentions and success
criteria. Students seemed to know exactly what they needed to do and what
success”looked like”.
AISM
Principal, Dr Deborah Priest is presented the Visible Learning
Certificate by Tan Sri Dato' Alimuddin, Chariman and Board of Governor
of AISM.
“At AISM, we have been excited to see the benefits of Visible Learning
for our students. Our students, even those in the lower Junior School,
are noticeably changing. They are all creating, editing and re-setting learning
goals throughout the year and they are all enjoying and taking more
independence and responsibility for their own learning. From an academic
perspective, we have seen significant tangible improvements in diagnostic
testing data and student engagement, and as students progress through the
school, we anticipate that the pre-university results will also continue to
improve,“ adds AISM Principal, Dr Deborah Priest.
AISM celebrates being the First Certified Visible Learning School in the World.
As
a Visible Learning School, AISM students and teachers share a common language
of learning. As a result, their students are adaptable and effective
communicators, collaborators and creative thinkers.

am up close and personal with MasterChef Australia Winner 2017, Diana
