SK Batu Jong has an ongoing beautification project, which has enhanced the schools reputation, locally as a school which is creating a natural learning environment in a very positive way.
The vision of the school's beautification project is to continue to enhance the space the school
has, creating outdoor areas for the children, overcoming the natural limitation of being placed on a hill, and surrounded by
a large rubber plantation.
This project has led to a team of English teachers, and school staff to recently turn a drab, school
footpath and wall into into a scenic spot were students can play, relax, and study outside the classroom,.

The “English Station, is next to an open area with palm
trees, and a miniature garden with locally grown medicinal plants created by
the Science department. After the recent Hari
Merdeka celebration, three doves representing the harmony, and peace of Malaysia, reside next to this garden. The complete area is representative of the beauty of the
local environment, and the living culture of the area.

The task for the teachers was to create an area, that blends in, and attracts the students to use the area,, with a very limited budget.
Posters were taken from the existing English Room, whilst
benches were placed near the wall, and a collection of one page reading
materials printed, and laminated by the teachers. A Hop Scotch area, was
created using plastic tape. The area now is ready for students, and teachers to use, with more improvements planned for the future.

The team of teachers who created the “English Station,”
remarked that this was only one part of an ongoing school project, which they, and
their students hope could help other schools, turn a drab space, into an exciting outdoor area, by using existing school resources.
