Every hero has a story, and the most inspiring ones are often found right at home. On November 11, 2026 , Darul Hikam Integrated School (DHIS) Primary hosted a truly special and memorable event: Parents as Guest Teachers , themed " My Parents, My Everyday Hero " alongside the inspiring tagline " Parents Inspire, Students Aspire. " This signature school event transformed ordinary classrooms into lively hubs of storytelling, discovery, and connection as parents from Primary 1 through Primary 6 stepped in as guest educators for the day. A Celebration of Togetherness and Shared Learning Rather than a traditional school day, November 11 marked a celebration of the wonderful bond between children and their parents. Classrooms came alive with enthusiasm as parents shared their professional expertise, personal stories, hobbies, and life lessons with eager young minds. First Teachers as Lifelong Inspirations: The event reinforced the truth that parents are not only a child's first teachers at home but also their lifelong role models. Interactive and Engaging Sessions: Students listened with both their ears and their hearts, engaging in hands-on activities, discussions, and interactive presentations led by their parents. Real-World Connections: By bringing real-world experiences directly into the classroom, students gained a broader perspective on various careers, community values, and daily perseverance. Strengthening the School-Family Partnership At DHIS Primary, education extends far beyond textbooks and academics. It is a holistic journey focused on building strong akhlaq (character), natural curiosity, and the courage to face the world. When parents actively participate in school life and teachers guide the learning process, students learn to dream with purpose. The event highlighted that true success encompasses kindness, gratitude, and an enduring passion for learning. Looking Forward The "Parents as Guest Teachers" event on November 11, 2026, was a resounding success, leaving students, teachers, and parents with cherished memories. It served as a powerful reminder that when families and schools unite in love and collaboration, every child is empowered to shine brightly. DHIS Primary extends its heartfelt gratitude to all participating parents, teachers, and staff who made this extraordinary day possible. True to the spirit of Darul Hikam— Berakhlak, Berprestasi —this event continues to shape a new generation of young changemakers ready to learn, create, and make a meaningful difference in the world!

DHIS Primary held EUPHORIA 4.0 , our annual English competition for all students from Primary 1 to Primary 6. This year's theme, "Beyond Words" , invited students to see English not merely as a collection of words, but as a way to express themselves, think critically, create, and work together. EUPHORIA 4.0 took students on an adventure into the world of language. With a range of competitions designed for each grade level, every child had the chance to show their best, both individually and as part of a team. More Than Words The theme "Beyond Words" reflects the spirit of language learning at DHIS Primary. As an integrated school that uses English as the learning instruction, we believe language skills grow best when students use them in real situations: telling stories, reciting poems, writing books, following instructions, and solving problems with their friends. That is why the competitions in EUPHORIA 4.0 assess not only language accuracy, but also confidence, creativity, understanding of meaning, and the ability to collaborate. Competitions for All Levels (P1–P6) Spelling Bee challenges students to spell English words accurately, based on the Oxford Dictionary of English. The competition runs in two rounds: a written Preliminary Round, followed by a spoken Final Round in which participants have 15 seconds to spell each word aloud. Both British and American spellings are accepted. Speak and Share invites students to deliver a video monologue on a theme set for their grade level: P1–P2: My Dream Job (2 minutes) P3–P4: Why Should We Protect the Environment (4 minutes) P5–P6: If I Could Solve One Problem in the World (6 minutes) Students must speak without reading a script and record their monologue in one take. Entries are judged on content, organization, creativity, language use, and confident delivery. Competitions for Primary 1–3 Our younger learners took part in five fun and colorful competitions: Listen and Move — A team challenge (four students per team) that tests students' ability to listen to English instructions while completing tasks such as finding items and following clues. Scoring focuses on teamwork (40%), speed (30%), and accuracy (30%). Poem Reading — Students recite one of the poems provided by the committee in 3–5 minutes, with judging focused on expression, articulation, and understanding of the poem. Mini Book Creation — Each class registers two groups of three students to create a 4–8 pages mini book on the theme "Our Lovely Earth", an adventure about how we can save energy. Groups have 60 minutes to write and illustrate their story. Missing Lyrics — Students guess the missing words in child-friendly English songs. A correct answer earns 10 points, and students who sing it to the tune earn 15 points. Story Telling — Each class sends two students to tell a story based on the moral value of "Honesty" in 3–5 minutes. Props, costumes, and sound effects are welcome to bring the story to life. New in EUPHORIA 4.0: English Amazing Race (P4–P6) This year, EUPHORIA introduced a brand-new competition for all Primary 4–6 students: the English Amazing Race . Unlike conventional English competitions that focus on a single skill, this race combines reading, speaking, writing, grammar, listening, vocabulary, and problem-solving in one team event, with each class competing as one team. Teams moved through six challenge stations: News Flash! — reading, pronunciation, and comprehension Speak Up! — confident, spontaneous speaking and critical thinking Story Makers — creative short story writing Battle of Brain — vocabulary, grammar, and problem-solving challenges Grammar Garage — accurate grammar and sentence construction Listen & Move — listening comprehension combined with physical teamwork activities Four stations are adapted from previous P4–P6 EUPHORIA competitions (News Reading, Speech, Short Story Writing, and Battle of Brain), while two new stations strengthen grammar and listening skills. The team with the highest total score, completing all six stations correctly and in the fastest time, was crowned the winner. Beyond accuracy, the race highlights teamwork, communication, creativity, confidence, and time management. Growing Confident Young Communicators Through EUPHORIA 4.0, DHIS Primary hoped every student would discover that learning English is both enjoyable and meaningful. More than winning trophies, the event gave children a space to perform bravely, appreciate their friends' work, and learn to collaborate, true to the spirit of "Beyond Words". We extend our warmest thanks to all participants, teachers, the organizing committee, and parents whose support made EUPHORIA 4.0 a success. Congratulations to every student who took part. Let's go beyond words together!
