# SK Bukit Tiu

Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Tiu (SK Bukit Tiu) is a primary school local to the village of Bukit Tiu and surrounding areas. It is a part of the public national school system offering education for pre-schoolers and students from Year 1 to 6. The school also provides special education for students with special needs and learning difficulties.

The intake ranges around 350 every year. In 2009, enrollment was 345 with 185 male students and 160 female students. Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Tiu is staffed with 29 teachers.

## Facilities

The school consists of several buildings over the original site and the new section. Upon completion of the new site, the operational buildings will be migrated to the new section of the school. This section includes two blocks of four-storied buildings, a canteen, a new field, and a multi-purposed enclosed court.

The administration of the school is on the first floor of the main block where the headmaster's office and senior assistants offices are, as well as teachers room.

The school library was moved from its original location to the new section to make it more accessible for the students. Since a great majority of the teachers and students are Muslims, SK Bukit Tiu provides a dedicated prayer room and ablution facilities.

The school has a well-equipped Science laboratory and a Living Skills workshop. The computer laboratory was built in the old section after the migration and remained as the main computer lab.

Sports facilities are provided in both sections. A 200-metre running track and a multi-purpose field, which are used for hockey and football, are provided in the new section while the old section houses the main volleyball court.

## Houses

The school implements a British-style house system where students are divided into four houses; each house bears the name of four main position titles in the Malaccan Malay Sultanate. They are differentiated by the house colours:

* House of Laksamana (yellow)
* House of Temenggung (blue)
* House of Shahbandar (green)
* House of Bendahara (red)

Students represent their houses and compete throughout the year to win the house cup. The major tournaments usually only happen during the annual sports day championship.

## Co-curricular activities

All students are required to join a society and a uniformed body in Bukit Tiu. Students can choose to participate from several academic-based societies from Malay Language Society to Mathematics Society to Islamic Society. Amongst the uniform bodies that are offered by the school includes Association of Scouts of Malaysia, Malaysian Red Crescent Society, Tunas Kadet Remaja Sekolah and Pergerakan Puteri Islam Malaysia.

Interested students can represent Bukit Tiu in sports or programme that they are excellent in. Students who don't get to represent the school in sports usually have the chance to participate in non-sport competitions such as choral speaking, story-telling, spelling bee, nasheed, tilawah, hafazan and others.
