A Year at KGSR: Growing Together, Learning Together
By Ms Kasthuri, Year 7 Teacher, Knewton Global Schools Rawang

My first year at Knewton Global Schools, Rawang (KGSR) has been a journey filled with new experiences, meaningful connections and personal growth.

When I first joined KGSR as a Bahasa Melayu teacher, everything felt new. I was entering a different school environment and meeting new students and colleagues. From the beginning, I experienced a welcoming atmosphere that made me feel comfortable and supported. Little by little, I became familiar with the school, the people and the way we work together.

The students have been one of the most rewarding parts of my journey. Each child is different, with their own personality, strengths and potential. There have been many moments when I have watched students overcome challenges, gain confidence and discover something new. These moments remind me why I chose teaching as my profession.

I also appreciate the trust given to teachers at KGSR. We are given opportunities to share our ideas, use our creativity and make decisions that support our students’ learning. This trust has encouraged me to grow in confidence and become more independent in my teaching.

Throughout the year, CPD sessions and other professional learning opportunities have encouraged me to reflect on my teaching and explore new ideas. Each experience has contributed to my developing skills and helped me become a better teacher.

Looking back, I have learnt that growth does not always come from big achievements. Sometimes, it comes from a conversation with a colleague, a challenging lesson, a new idea or a simple moment with a student. Every experience gives us something to learn from.

As I look forward to another year at KGSR , I hope to continue to contribute, learn and grow together with the KGSR Family.

After all, teachers are not only here to guide students.

We are lifelong learners too.
