Who Is It For?
The Buddy Up Programme is designed for students navigating change – whether adjusting to a new country, a new school, or a new phase on their education.
New Students
Receive warm welcomes, helpful answers, and friendly faces to ease into SIS life.
Middle Schoolers
Gain guidance as they transition to the greater independence of high school.
International Students
Find comfort and belonging in a culturally diverse yet inclusive environment.
Grade 9 & 10 Students
Boost confidence in handling growing academic and social expectations with peer-led support.
How It Works
Each student is paired with a Buddy Leader who becomes their personal guide throughout the semester. Together, they’ll complete the Buddy Up Guide, a light and engaging tool to help structure conversations and reflections.
With regular weekly meet-ups and student-led activities, new students get to know both their Buddy Leader and the wider SIS community – making their transition smooth, supportive, and enjoyable.
Be a Buddy
Help new and international students feel at home by sharing insights on school culture, campus routines, and social life. As a Buddy Leader, you’ll meet regularly using the Buddy Up Guide to structure meaningful conversations and fun activities. Ready to make a difference? Email us at dummyemail@sis.edu.my to sign up!
