This is an interesting school indeed. Its locality reminded me of Sarawak Teachers' Training College 1976 where we were holding breath each time an aircraft took off and landed. The difference is the size of the aircraft. Marudi is only served with Twin-Otter 19-passenge

Patrick Tait has his second round as school head at Good Shepherd. During the briefing I did ask this question: Anybody know why this school is called 'Good Shepherd'. I shared some of my Bible Knowledge with some of the teachers.
During the brief, yet meaningful visit, I had the chance to observe some of the learning sessions. Bennet (right) is an interesting boy, suspected ADHD (Attention Deficit Hypher-Active Disorder) year two-student. I managed to talk with him when Patrick brought me to the classroom. Now many would be aware that ADHD has been a worrisome among our students. Some teachers have been exposed to detecting the disorder, while the majority would not understand its existence.
At 0800 today, 14 May will proceed to SK Penglayan using PPD Baram Boat. Form Penglayan will take an express boat to Miri.

At Penglayan, Adree Lenjau and his teachers received us as usual right at the jetty. They were observing Thursday like any town school: on batik!

The dry season has provided us a clearer vision of SK Penglayan, reminding me of yet another critical problem faced by boarding school: H2O, that is! During lunch time, I jokingly told some of the teachers that I will "provide" some rain and asked one of them either she prefers 'L', 'M' or 'S' which she instantly said "L"! A few minutes after we started our lunch, we

At 6.15pm I managed to contact Razali Ibrahim the PK1 to verify about the rain. I was in great sigh that it did actually rain when I left Penglayan. The teachers were excited arrest as much of the rain as possible with their empty tanks.

Norlida with her small boy followed us to
Kuala Baram for a brief boat tour.
