As early as 7 am, these students and their parents seemed eager to step into a new world.

The president of the SKJP Parent and Teacher Association, Afi Roshezry Abu Bakar, said that he welcomed the admission of children to the school.

“The session started with a school management briefing which was also a familiarization session between parents and teachers.
