To all in the Uplands Community,

It has been another busy week

with an equally busy newsletter to

reflect all that has been happening in the

school.

One of the challenges facing

every school is how to communicate

effectively to the many different

stakeholders in the community. This

newsletter is one of the very important methods the

school has for updating and informing the

community on all that we are doing and intend to

do over the coming weeks and months.

Please note the page in the newsletter where

we have listed all the different ways that we are

using social media to help connect and

communicate our news. If you have not done so,

please electronically link up with us so you can be

as fully informed as possible.

Next week we will be holding two very

important meetings as we introduce our

Experiential Learning Trips to the students and

parents. Please read Mr. Mitchell’s piece in this

newsletter for further information.

Finally a gentle reminder, the school is

closed on Monday. Have an enjoyable long

weekend.

Selamat Hari Merdeka.

Yours sincerely,

Matthew Bristow

Today sees the end of the second week of school and it is great to see so many relaxed and happy

faces around the campus. It is always great to see how easy our new staff and students settle into

the school and how welcoming the entire Uplands community is. We still have a few new

students who will be starting over the next few weeks and I look forward to many more new

friendships being formed.

Mathematics:

It is with great regret that I inform the community that our Mathematics teacher, Ms. Maria Reich,

has resigned due to personal reasons. We are therefore currently in the process of recruiting a

new Maths teacher who we hope can start immediately. In the meantime, we have had to revert

to having four class sets in each year group. I am extremely confident that this will not be the

case for a prolonged period of time. As soon as a new teacher arrives, all year levels will be split

into the five sets. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information.

Student Uniforms:

It is imperative that all students wear their school uniform correctly and that their appearance is

always neat and tidy. Can you please ensure the following:

Plain black or brown shoes (no white soles, coloured Nike ticks, etc.)

Girls are permitted to only wear one pair of simple studded earrings. No other

jewellery is to be worn! Boys are not permitted to wear any jewellery

Girls & Boys hair which is over collar length must be tied up at all times.

No bands / hair ties, etc to be worn around wrists

Hair ties (in hair) must be green, yellow, black or white.

This year Uplands school has begun the year long process of gaining accreditation by the Council

of International Schools (http://www.cois.org/ ). The CIS community includes more than 660

schools and 475 colleges and universities representing 109 countries. They are recognised

globally as a body that supports school development and accreditation by them is seen as a mark

of a ‘good’ international school. This process is to be combined with our re-accreditation for our

IB school status and will culminate in a visit by CIS and IB representatives in November 2016.

In choosing to become a CIS school we will embark on a process of self-study and reflection

which they describe as an ‘opportunity to improve the quality of the education offered at the

school through a rigorous process of self-examination’

Main Guide to School Evaluation & Accreditation – CIS – 8th Edition – (Version 8.2) Sept 2013

This process of self assessment will take in every aspect of the school’s processes from academic

to administrative as well as involve every stakeholder in our school community including

parents, students, teachers, governors and administrative staff.

If you wish to know more about this process and how you as a parent can get involved in

supporting this process then please consider coming to the next UPTA parent’s association coffee

morning to be held at the Park Royal hotel. Held between 830 and 10.30am Mr. Bristow and I will

be there to explain the process of accreditation. If in the meantime you would like to know more

than don’t hesitate to contact me via email.

We will be hosting Parent Information Evenings in the MPH to share further details about the

October Experiential Learning Trips. Both Service Providers will be on hand to discuss their

support and to answer questions you may have of them. Individual Trip Leaders will then

specifically present on the individual trips in more detail.

This note is first and foremost about celebrating and sharing the successes of our 2015 Year 13 IB

Diploma graduating class as well as our Year 11 IGCSE students’ exam results. The dedication

of our students and the staff that guide them has earned many of our students the top results

they were striving for. Other students have achieved important personal goals that have allowed

them to enter universities of their choice or gain entry into foundation programmes at various

institutions, while many Year 11 students have earned a place to stay here at Uplands to enter

our rigorous IB Diploma Programme.

IB Diploma

In our graduating class, 49 students earned their IB Diploma, attaining an average score of 35.14.

As we are accustomed to, this is well above the world average of 30.10. From a subject point of

view, this means that, on average, our individual subject results were a whole 0.75 of a point

above the world average scores, considering the Diploma 1-7 point scale. Almost 20% of the

cohort achieved a score of 40 points or more. Many of these students accepted first or second

choice offers accompanied by full or partial scholarships at top universities around the world. It

is equally important to recognise the hard work and determination of those students who earned

a score of 36 points or more, representing 62% of the Year 13 group, an improvement from last

year at 48%. This is a hugely significant effort by many students, all who began the IB Diploma

with some trepidation or challenge, but with resilience, dedication and the support of our

academic and pastoral team succeeded in their journey.

I would like to publicly acknowledge our IB Diploma graduates that obtained 40 or more

points:

Within the IB Diploma Programme, the core elements of the Theory of Knowledge (ToK) course

and the process of completing the Extended Essay contribute to Bonus Points. Success in these

areas in 2014-15 needs also to be recognised, as we achieved the growth that we were so looking

and working for. Almost 70% of graduates achieved either 2 or 3 Bonus Points toward their

overall score, up from 50% in the previous academic year. This year brings even more

10

collaboration and team-teaching to our ToK teaching model – if your son or daughter is enrolled

in the IB Diploma or is aspiring to this, please ask them about this exciting and essential heart of

the IB DP Programme.

IGCSE

This past year we had 593 exam entries from 91 candidates. Again, we are very proud of our

student achievements and particularly pleased with our improved results when compared to the

previous academic year.

Cohort 2013-

2014

2014-15

Exam Entries 491 593

A*/A 41.8% 52.4%

A* - B 61.1% 73.0%

A* - C 80.4% 89.4%

With just under 90% of our Year 11 exam grades falling in the A*-C range and more than 50% at

A*-A level, this represents a wonderful achievement. Of our 24 different GCSE/IGCSE subjects

on offer, 14 achieved 100% A*-C. The IGCSE courses that students endure represent the most

rigorous curriculum, recognised internationally. A heartfelt congratulations to all of our Year 11

students who have inspired a passion for learning in our younger students.

Curriculum and Exam Registration

This week marks the end of the two-week period for IB Diploma and IGCSE students to change

their subject choices. At the start of next week, we would hope that student changes have been

accommodated and that all students are feeling well settled into their routines. The Curriculum

Office is still pleased to consider changes between HL and SL for IB Diploma students; this is

considered on a case by case basis, with teacher consultation and at the discretion of the IB

Diploma Coordinator and the Head of Curriculum. Selection of the appropriate HL subjects is

extremely important in maintaining a healthy balance for a student’s programme, with due

consideration to university requirements and obtaining a desired overall score. All Year 13 IB

Diploma students are currently registered for their exams and Year 12 students will be registered

toward the end of this academic year.

For Year 11 IGCSE students, exam registration will commence next week. Students who are

required or who would like to retake exams in the November 2015 session need to contact Mr

Rose immediately to confrim their place on the registration list. For first time exam entrants in

Year 11, exam registration will be completed within the next few weeks before the deadline on

the 21st September. For students in other year levels who might wish to take an IGCSE exam

early, or for those students who would like to register for extra exams (i.e. Mandarin, Malay, First

Language German) please contact Mr Rose urgently.

Welcome - Selamat datang

Finally, I should like to welcome everyone back to Uplands for another exciting and productive

year, with an extended greeting to all new students, staff and parents. If you experience any

unease or have any questions about the curriculum or the assessment procedures at school,

please feel free to call me or arrange to drop by and discuss your concerns. This applies equally

to all our returning students. Your feedback is always welcome. I look forward to meeting more

of you over the course of the year. Enjoy your time at school, make and renew friendships, and

continue to study hard and play freely.

provide this opportunity once per term. If you wish to order, please complete the order form

and return to classroom teachers. The mode of payment would be either by cash, credit card or

cheques. There is NO NEED to pay the 10% delivery charges. The final day to place orders is

placing the orders.

This is an excellent opportunity to purchase books at very reasonable prices.

Thank you,

Sharlotte Bernard

Librarian

At this time of year it is usual for Penang to be affected by haze from plantation burning in

Indonesia. On Wednesday the air quality deteriorated significantly resulting in most outdoor PE

lessons being moved to indoors. The School monitors the API (Air Pollution Index) frequently

and should the API reach an unhealthy level of 101 or over we keep children indoors and cancel

all outdoor activities. With API levels remaining below 100 we hope the air quality continues to

improve in the days and weeks ahead.

For students in years 5 and 6 we have replaced the old metal lockers with new yellow and green

ones. Each student will we be assigned a new locker for the year to keep bags, books and personal

equipment. We recommend each student brings a small padlock to keep personal items safe and

secure. Students must take responsibility for looking after their own padlock keys or

remembering padlock codes.

This week, most classes started their first units of inquiry for the new academic year:

Reception – Who we are Central idea: Family relationships contribute to shaping our identity.

Year 1 – Who we are

Central idea: People’s relationships with each other can have an impact on well-being.

Year 2 – Who we are

Central idea: The choices people make affect their health and well being.

Year 3 – Sharing the planet

Central idea: When interacting with natural habitats, humans make choices that have an impact on other

living things.

Year 4 – Who we are

Central idea: The effective interactions between human body systems contribute to health and survival.

Year 5 – Who we are

Central idea: People’s cultural background has an impact on their cultural beliefs, values and actions.

Year 6 – Who we are

Central idea: A person’s behaviour and how they choose to present themselves project aspects of their

identity.

With Co-curricular Activities beginning on Tuesday, 2nd September Primary students will end

their days at differing times. Please help us by reminding your children each morning what time

their bus will depart from school or if they are being collected from the campus.

In next week’s newsletter we will update parents on important calendar events planned for this

term.

Finally, School will be closed for Merdeka Day on Monday, 1st September. Enjoy the long

weekend!

Tips for effective study

Over the course of this semester pupils in years 10 to 13 will be receiving some coaching and

guidance about study, revision and exam preparation as part of their PSHE lessons. Pupils and

parents of pupils in years 11 and 13 will already be aware that these are particularly important

years in terms of taking exams. Years 10 and 12 are also important because the course work done

in these years contributes significantly to exams which come later.

Over the next few weeks David Johnston (Counselor) and Merissa Bush (Learning Support) will

be running 3 articles fortnightly in the newsletter which aim to provide parents with a summary

of information given to the pupils so that they can support their child at home to study effectively.

The articles will be entitled:

· Tips for effective Study

· Tips for effective Revision

· Tips for Managing Exams

Why are study and revision skills important?

Applying some simple skills to study, revision and exams will help you study more efficiently,

improve your grades, increase your recall ability and ultimately increase exam performance.

Start with the basics

Study, revision and exam performance starts in the classroom with 3 obvious things

1. paying attention

2. asking questions

3. taking good notes

By paying attention, being interested, listening and engaging in the lesson you will give your

brain a head start in learning, understanding and remembering what you have learned. Asking

questions helps to clarify and reinforce information. Taking good notes helps reinforce learning,

helps with revision and improves information recall later.

Once you have taken good notes:

Make sure you are organized

You can do this by:

1. Keeping an organized notebook and diary

2. Planning your study time and revision time (make a time table)

3. Sticking to your study plan

15

Study does not happen by itself it requires action from you. If you need help with organization

speak to your tutors or teachers.

Being organized helps with your memory, it saves time later and helps you manage stress levels.

A study plan helps ensure study is manageable and also helps you to build in essential ‘down

time’ for your brain to process information (more about this later).

Manage your work loads and work at a steady consistent pace

A common student pitfall is falling behind with work and becoming overwhelmed trying to

manage new assignments along with overdue or urgent assignments.

You can manage your work load effectively by:

· Doing a manageable amount of work each night

· Working in manageable time frames (25-30 minutes at a time)

· Prioritizing your assignments

· Taking short but regular breaks (2-10 minutes between subjects / periods of time)

Prioritize your assignments by considering whether they are:

1. Urgent (must do – imminent deadline)

2. On-going (invest time now to avoid them building up and becoming urgent / stressful)

3. Optional (activities where you have a choice e.g. future revision).

Allocate your study time in order of priority 1, 2, 3. Give some attention to all areas to avoid ‘on-

going’ and ‘optional’ areas becoming urgent.

· Divide your study time between subjects (change is as good as a rest)

· Study subjects you find hard as well as the easier ones

· Break large topics into smaller manageable sections.

Good study is about balance

To work at its optimum your brain needs processing time (down time) as well as focusing time.

Look after your MIND, BODY and SOUL for maximum performance (sports as well as academia)

Mind

Exercise your mind and memory by doing planned study.

Use skills that suit your preferred learning style. (see future articles)

Let your brain process information by allowing it to rest (2-10 mins) between periods of study

(25-30 mins)

Find ways to be interested in your learning

Body

Relax your body by sleeping well and having down time.

Finish study at a reasonable time.

Nourish your body, eat well and stay hydrated

16

Take exercise and do something physical each day

Soul

Have some fun and do something enjoyable each day

Spend time with friends or family

Be aware of your stress levels and do something about it.

Find ways to enjoy your study

Starting to study

· Make sure you have a quiet comfortable space to work

· Reduce the potential for interruptions

· Be business like (use a desk, chair etc – not lying on the bed)

· Drink some water before you start

Be clear about what you want to achieve

Example

· I aim to cover this topic

· I will read this chapter

· I want to complete this assignment

· I want to revise this section.

Spend a few moments to:

· Think about the task before you start

· Plan your work

· Stick to your study schedule

Focus on the task

· Work at a steady pace

· Use the time you have allocated productively

· Concentrate on the topic.

Adapt the schedule if required to complete urgent tasks

Be aware of your personal study vulnerabilities

Avoid being your own worst enemy – be aware of your own learning vulnerabilities

Think honestly – which ones apply to you?

Wasting time - putting things off- making excuses - leaving things to the last minute - not

planning - blaming others - low motivation - finding something else to do - doing easy or

enjoyable work first and then running out of time – avoidance - self sabotage - work too hard or

too late - do not take down time - sacrifice your own well-being – not interested.

17

Being aware and honest with yourself is the first step toward studying better.

I hope this has been useful for both students and parents.

School Supports

LEARNING SUPPORT

If you find yourself having trouble with areas like organizing a study timetable, note taking or

practical study skills please speak to Mrs. Bush or one of your tutors.

COUNSELING

If you find yourself becoming overwhelmed or stressed please make an appointment to see Mr.

Johnston

A final thought

‘Some succeed because they are destined to:

Others succeed because they are determined to.’

David Johnston, School Counselor

and Merissa Bush, Learning Support

And so the adventure begins!

If life is an adventure, then every day in history class is an expedition

into the wilderness of our past.

Students have come with the hopes of discovering something new and

perhaps digging up something old. Some discoveries will be difficult

to achieve. Others will provide us only a fleeting glimpse.

Students and their classmates arrived with the right attitude and with eyes wide open. Ask

them where their adventures took them today. You might learn a thing or two!
