THOUSANDS of students aged seven and above began their preschool religious classes yesterday, registering for classes, meeting new friends and familiarising themselves with their new environment.
Decked out in new school apparel and badges, the students were filled with mixed feelings of joy, laughter and fear during their first day of school.
The Bulletin, scoping out the scene at Lambak Kanan Religious School yesterday, witnessed students being asked to wear badges and line up at the school hall while their parents registered them for classes and paid their school fees. The new students were later brought to their classes.
Enrolment yesterday started at 7.30am for students attending the morning session, and 1.30pm for students going for the afternoon session.
It is mandatory for every Muslim child between the ages of seven and 15 residing in Brunei Darussalam to be enrolled in preschool and primary religious education under the Compulsory Religious Education Order 2012. The order came into force on January 1, 2013.
