Message By Head Of Programme

Welcome to the Sunway International Schools (SIS) Cambridge Programme (IGCSE).

In my years being a teacher and also an administrator in a school, I had the privilege of teaching students using the Cambridge and International Baccalaureate framework. I have seen and experienced the beauty and strengths of different ways of teaching and learning, as students respond to the curricula, delivered within schools.

As the head of programme, I'm privileged to bring together a team of carefully selected educators who will bring to life our Sunway Cambridge programme. This programme is a culmination of best practices through 15 years of experience that educators at Sunway International Schools had across different curricula. The ultimate goal is to make learning simply fun, relevant and engaging. Here we critically evaluate experiences that make up the school day to ensure that our students spend their time in meaningful learning engagements and activities that essentially build their confidence and competencies to face the future confidently. As per our school motto in Latin, "Fortuna Eruditis Favet". Indeed, fortune favours the prepared mind. As a parent and educator, our hope is that our children will be prepared for the challenges in their future by giving them a solid foundation today.

While our programme is meant to challenge students to strive and stretch themselves, we are mindful that young people need time to reflect and pursue their individual interests. To help them achieve balance and own their learning journey, providing timely guidance is an integral part of our school's culture. It is said, it takes a village to raise a child. Here at Sunway, when your child becomes part of the Sunway Education Group, you and your family become part of our ecosystem. Together, we nurture minds and build character, empowering our future generations to embrace sustainability, and realise the hope of making the world a better place.

Sincerely,
Sarah Chan,
Head of Programme - Cambridge

Message By Primary Cambridge Coordinator

Welcome to the Sunway International Schools (SIS) Cambridge Programme (IGCSE).

It is with immense gratitude that I assume the role of Primary Cambridge Coordinator at Sunway International Schools. With over 26 years of dedicated experience in education, encompassing roles as a teacher, therapist and leading teachers to meet the needs of all learners in their classes, I am deeply honored to continue my professional journey within the SIS community. My motto is supporting children to be the best they can be, in supporting children we also support and collaborate with you the parents to ensure the child develops holistically.

In my capacity as the Primary Cambridge Coordinator, I am privileged to possess a comprehensive understanding of the Cambridge curriculum and a steadfast commitment to the department's vision and mission. Our primary objective is to imbue the curriculum with vitality by fostering student engagement through a multi-sensory, integrated approach. We embrace thematic, cross-curricular teaching methodologies alongside the Cambridge English and Science programs.

Furthermore, we are proud to announce the enhancement of our Mathematics program through a unique blend of the Singapore Math and Cambridge Curriculums. This innovative approach not only equips students with essential mathematical concepts and skills for everyday application but also nurtures cognitive and metacognitive abilities through a problem-solving framework. By transitioning from hands-on manipulatives to pictorial models and abstract equations, we ensure a comprehensive grasp of mathematical principles.

Moreover, our Cambridge students will engage in Extra-Curricular Activities (ECAs) alongside their counterparts following the Ontario Canadian curriculum. This integration allows for a unified representation of SIS, fostering a cohesive learning environment for all our students.

At Sunway International Schools, we are deeply committed to instilling core values such as respect, compassion, collaboration, integrity, responsibility, and excellence in our students. These values are seamlessly woven into our teaching methodologies and student learning experiences, ensuring holistic development and nurturing well-rounded individuals.

Join us at Sunway International Schools, where education transcends boundaries, and every student's potential is nurtured with care and dedication.

Sincerely,
Tamerin Raw
Primary Cambridge Coordinator
