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.

Contents

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:

The house system is a traditional feature of schools in England, originating in England. The practice has since spread to Commonwealth countries and the United States. The school is divided into subunits called "houses" and each student is allocated to one house at the moment of enrollment. Houses may compete with one another at sports and maybe in other ways, thus providing a focus for group loyalty.

Malacca Sultanate historical state in Malaysia

The Malacca Sultanate was a Malay sultanate centred in the modern-day state of Malacca, Malaysia. Conventional historical thesis marks c. 1400 as the founding year of the sultanate by a Malay Raja of Singapura, Parameswara, also known as Iskandar Shah. At the height of the sultanate's power in the 15th century, its capital grew into one of the most important entrepôts of its time, with territory covering much of the Malay Peninsula, the Riau Islands and a significant portion of the northern coast of Sumatra in present-day Indonesia.

The Laksamana is a position within the armed forces, similar to the position of admiral in Malay sultanates and in present-day countries like Indonesia and Malaysia. Since South East Asia was part of Indosphere of Greater India since earlier, during and after the Hinduised Srivijaya empire, Hindu titles based on Sanskrit were used. The word Laksamana originated from Lakshmana, a figure in the Hindu epic of Ramayana.

S̲h̲āhbandar, was an official of the ports in Safavid Persia and one also known on other shores of the Indian Ocean. The Shahbandar was in charge of the traders and the collection of taxes.

Bendahara

Bendahara is an administrative position within classical Malay kingdoms comparable to a vizier before the intervention of European powers during the 19th century. A bendahara was appointed by a sultan and was a hereditary post. The bendahara and the sultan shared the same lineage.

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.

Persekutuan Pengakap Malaysia

Persekutuan Pengakap Malaysia is the largest youth organisation in Malaysia and member of World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM).

The Malaysian Red Crescent (MRC) is a voluntary humanitarian organization that seeks to promote humanitarian values, as well as provide service and public education in disaster management, and health and care in the community. It is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.

Kadet Remaja Sekolah Malaysia is a scout-like movement organised by the Government of Malaysia as a youth organisation.

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.

A nasheed is a work of vocal music that is either sung acappella or accompanied by percussion instruments such as the daf. In general, Islamic anasheed do not contain lamellaphone instruments, string instruments, or wind and brass instruments, although digital remastering – either to mimic percussion instruments or create overtones – is permitted. This is because many Muslim scholars state that Islam prohibits the use of musical instruments except for some basic percussion.
