Teachers are the backbone of our community: tireless crusaders tasked with the very important job of moulding eager young minds. Their role goes much further than simply imparting knowledge—they wear many hats including those of guide, role model, counsellor, guardian and hero. Our teachers at Orbix are dedicated to the cause and realise the importance their role plays in the growth and development of our precious sons and daughters. One cannot be a teacher without caring for the fate of the future and our teachers toil for hours behind the scenes, ensuring delivery of the best possible education for our students. Beginning our #WeAreOrbix series is Miss Jennifer Hang, an Early Years teacher at our Klang campus. Read through to find out a little more about what makes her so passionate about her job!
