Recently, there have been many cute stories of students and teachers adjusting to the new school year
The first week of school is never a boring one. With parents dressing up in school uniforms alongside their kids to ease first day jitters and mascots visiting schools to encourage kids to have fun, there's no denying that students were both excited and nervous to meet their new friends and teachers.
A school in Perak has recently gone viral for a creative attempt at introducing the canteen staff to its students. In a TikTok posted by @ckzlinazali, the video shows a lineup of canteen aunties and an abang, holding signs with their names for students to recognize them. The post has garnered over 750,000 views and 41,000 likes.
"[In] This week's ice breaking event, students got to know their mak cik-mak cik kantin, in case they confuse them for teachers. All of them are gorgeous," the caption wrote.

Malaysians have praised the school for its out of the box method at helping students remember their school staff
Many of the comments praised the school for introducing their staff in a fun way, so the students will be able to remember them easily and not discriminate between school staff members.
"A good, out of the box idea, while showing appreciation to those who are part of the school staff. Well done," one user commented.
"Alhamdulillah, [you] appreciate all [staff members], including guards, landscapers, and all that work in the school. Teach [the students] to respect regardless of position," another user wrote.
Another user commented, "Well done, the kids won't look down upon any individual in the school."
In a light-hearted joke, one TikTok user commented that if it was him, he wouldn't have been able to remember the names because if he was in the canteen, all he would think about is food.
