Back to school with mixed feelings

THE 2023/2024 national school session starts today for students in Johor, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu, and tomorrow for those in the other states and the three Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur, Labuan and Putrajaya. Find out what students are saying about returning to school and starting the new term.

"This will be my last year in secondary school and I’m planning on enjoying it to the fullest. But responsibilities come first. Being the head prefect comes with its challenges and I’m excited to face them. I’m also going to sit for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations, which will practically determine everything I’ve been working towards. My goal is pretty sky-high and I’m terrified that things won’t go the way I want them to, but I know that as long as I keep calm and maintain a positive mindset, I’ll be just fine. My final year in secondary school is going to be a blast. I’ll make sure of it."
