(i) BACKGROUND OF THE SCHOOL

onvent Light Street School was the oldest girls school in South East

Asia( founded by the French II Sisters in 12 April 1852) and one of the most

important inner city schools in Penang.There were 60 convent schools in

Malaysia and Convent Light Street was the first girl school. The Convent Light Street

celebrates its 150th anniversary in the year 2002. It all began on April 12 th 1852, when

the first three Sisters of the Infant Jesus arrived in Penang to start schools and

orphanages for the girls in this country. Their first Convent was a simple attap structure,

located where the Primary School Hall now stands today. School started on June 15th

,and by July 1st they had recruited 9 boarders, 30 day pupils and 16 orphans. Mother St.

Malthilde was sent from Paris in October to become the first superior of Penang.

C

Mother St. Malthilde saw the need for expansion. Consequently she bought Navy

House (Government House) in 1859. In 1961, this building was largely occupied by the

Std. 6 failures. It functioned successfully until November 1992. Today it is occupied

entirely by the Secondary classes. The needs kept increasing over the years, so in 1875

the attap shed was pulled down and the Primary School Hall erected in its place.

Two years later in 1885 D Wing and new chapel was built. Apart from Navy House, it is

the oldest of the school buildings. The termites have done damage, so the block had to

be evacuated almost three years ago. A committee has been formed to raise funds for a

new roof and other necessary repairs. When it is done, the block will have 10 large

classrooms. The erection of D Wing in 1885 was a great boon to the people of the area

as many more pupils could be accommodated. In 1901 the Convent presented its first

batch of Junior Cambridge Students, all of whom made the grade, and in 1905 the first

success was registered in the Senior Cambridge exam by a solitary candidate. She was

Martine Stolz who was later to become Mother Emile. In 1901 Mother St. Herminte built

5 new classrooms, known as E Wing today. There was a similar need in the orphanage,

so a separate Baby House was established but not until 1930. In 1930 New blockknown as A Wing was established. She had the beach area cleared to make way for B

Wing in 1934. For her work in education and the number of schools she set up

throughout Malaya and Singapore, the British Government conferred on her the OBE in

1936, a rare enough honour and richly deserved. In 1941 when the Japanese invaded,

they took over the Convent and made it the headquarters of their Navy, using it also as

an internment camp for their prisoners, among them 76 Americans. The pupils returned


5/13

to Light Street in September 1945, to resume their studies. The near half century that

has elapsed since 1945 has brought many changes in the buildings and elsewhere. The

orphanage block and the Sisters sleeping quarters have become Primary School

classrooms.

CRITICAL ESSAY

On 17 march 2008, I had been sent to Convent Light Street school for School-

Based Experience ( SBE) week. I had been there for only three days as Friday is off for

Good Friday. It was such an unforgettable experience for being there as it was a girl

school. There were three other members posted in the same school with me. They were

Afiq which is my classmate, and the other two were Wong Kye Tsern and Yong Yi Tian

from 1 MTED 1 class.

Based on my observation, I felt very excited as it was my first experience to the

school. From spiritual aspects, I can see teachers here act as the role models in

carrying the religious and moral values. Every morning, I could see non-Muslim

students went to the chapel and pray for God. Whereas for Muslim students, the


10/13

teacher conducted doa every morning in the assembly. This shows the teachers try to

instil spiritual values among students by seeking the bless of God every morning.

Besides that, religious, moral values, and noble values such as belief in God and loyal

to the nation have been integrated into every subject during teaching and learning

process. By having KAFA class for the Muslims and Moral class for Non-muslims, it

shows that the school administration is very concern towards religious matters without

no racial discrimination to produce individuals who are intellectually, spiritually,

emotionally and physically balanced nad harmonious.

Besides that, the teachers try to develop well-mannered students by helping problem

students in a councelling session. Being a good listener to students problem is an effective

way to overcome students family, studies or personal problem in order to nourish stable

emotional aspects. The teachers here do not punish students when they misbehaviors and

do wrong things during teaching and learning process. They used to be patient, give

advices and rewards such as praising them whenever they make any wrongdoing in

teaching and learning. The teachers here are understanding, emphatetic and helpful to

students in order to control and solve their emotional problems effectively. They do not

scold them and use harsh words whenever they make mistake as it will effects to the

students. 6

Besides that, students in this school are compulsory to involve in Physical

Education class and co-curricular activities as well based on their physical development in

order to produce well-balanced students in academic and co-curriculum. Besides having

classes in the classroom, I could see the teacher conducted lessons out of the classroom

to allow children to participate actively in teaching and learning processes. Although this

school field is small, students here are actively involving themselves in mini-sports such

as high jump, race sports, netball and whatsoever. Every students was given an

opportunity to show off their talents in various types of sports. By organizing sports and

games, indirectly we could produce an active, energetic and healthy students in order to

realize the National Physical Education.

And last but not least, I could see students here are very intellectual indeed. From

my observation in 1 Intan class, the teachers boosts an active learning in class. When the


11/13

teacher asked any question, they always raise up their hands and tried to answer the

questions. When the students are able to answer, they clapped their hands. They

certainly did not hesitate to try and answer the questions. All of the students are well-

behaved as they will only answer questions when the teacher points and asks them to

answer. Here we could see the existence of two way interactions are encouraged to help

the students in building up their self-confident. There is also intensive learning class in

order to assist pupils who are having problems in their studies. Apart from that, several

homework has been given to the students as to ensure that they understand on what the

teacher has taught them.

As a conclusion, the Convent Light Street school has almost succeeded in

realizing the National Physical Education. I am sure that this school will achieve glorious,

victory and brightness in order to form well-balanced students from intellectual, physical,

emotional and spiritual aspects.
