Excursions that expand horizons
R.E.A.L Education Group’s 5C core values are collaboration, character, communication, critical thinking and creativity. With collaboration as a core value, R.E.A.L Schools seeks to inspire the nation’s young generation to engage with their local community in a meaningful way. It believes that forming a holistic relationship between students and the community will ultimately leave a positive impact on society.
The History Club of R.E.A.L Schools, Suria Campus, Cheras organised a trip to Putrajaya to expose its students to Malaysia’s rich cultural heritage. The trip’s objective was to expand students’ knowledge of the country’s history and multicultural society while instilling in them a sense of patriotism.
With a packed itinerary, proceedings quickly got underway for the 80-plus Senior Five (Form Five) students and four teachers as they arrived at the country’s administrative capital.
The group’s first stop was at Taman Botani, a 230-acre (93ha) piece of former agricultural land that has been turned into a botanical garden, where they learnt about a variety of local and foreign flora.
The foundation of R.E.A.L Schools’ active learning approach is built upon unique student experiences and practical learning platforms. This Putrajaya trip, for instance, is part of the school’s efforts to allow students to gain firsthand experience in a myriad of fields.
After a short break at Alamanda Shopping Centre, the students headed for a lake cruise on Cruise Tasik Putrajaya. The sightseeing tour took passengers past Putrajaya’s most stunning and iconic sites such as the Putra Mosque, Istana Darul Ehsan, The Millennium Monument, ministry buildings and the Putra Bridge.
A tour guide was on hand to enlighten the students on the history and process of the country’s administrative system and to remind them of the importance of preserving Malaysia’s culture, heritage and identity.
Nurturing exemplary citizens for the nation is a vital part of R.E.A.L Education Group’s mission to transform lives.
As R.E.A.L stands for “results enhancing through active learning”, various outdoor excursions and field trips serve as a unique and key feature of R.E.A.L education, which strives to take lessons beyond books and the classroom environment.
The excursion to Putrajaya was a fitting way to end the graduating students’ journey at R.E.A.L Schools, with this being their final trip before they embark on tertiary education and carve their own pathways in life.
For them, it could not have ended on a happier and more memorable note.
