Sekolah Rendah Tentera Laut Diraja Brunei (SRTLDB) was having a short farewell ceremony for their three University Brunei Darussalam student-teachers on the 12th June 2008, Thursday. All the three student-teachers, who are all female, started their teaching practice in early February 2008 and ended (officially) on the 29 May 2008.

The teaching practice was organised by the Institut Pendidikan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah (SHBIE) of University Brunei Darussalam to expose the the student-teachers to the real teaching world and, in addition, to gain experiences in teaching their subject of specialisation. During the teaching practice period, Guru Besar and their co-operative teachers gave them some guidances. They were also involved in all school activities including the teachers’ meeting and the co-curriculum activities that was held outside the school hours.
