Dear IGBIS Parents and Community Members,

With only two weeks of school left in this academic year, preparation is underway for a number of school events. Please check this newsletter for these including music recitals, the MYP Production, Grade 5 Completion Assembly and Final Assemblies amongst others.

News from Elementary School

As we near the end of the year there is still much going on. The Grade 5 students are preparing for their Malaysian Learning stations where they will engage with different classes with a variety of learning experiences.

On Monday the Grade 4 students visited a number of different places of worship (Masjid Negara, Sri Mahamariamman Temple, Kuan Ti Temple and St Mary's Cathedral) as they continued their inquiry into their Who We Are unit about beliefs.

The library is busy collecting returned books and resources from students and teachers, so please remember to return them through the week.

We had a successful Grade 5 to 6 transition meeting for parents on Friday 1st June where we were able to talk through a number of items to help ease any tension that parents may have about their children transitioning to Grade 6 and Secondary School next year.

On Monday 4th June the Grade 5 students will spend the day in the secondary school. Time has also been set aside for each grade level to spend time with their new grade level for next year. Those students leaving IGBIS will also get the chance to work with Mr.

News from Secondary School

We welcomed Grade 5 parents on Friday as their children readied themselves for the Transition Day on June 4th. I (and other secondary staff) was very impressed by the quality of the PYP Exhibition and as a result we are very excited to be welcoming Grade 5 to the secondary school next week. The Grade 6 students and teachers have a lot of fun activities planned for our visitors from one floor down and we hope to send the Grade 5 students into the summer vacation in an excited state, ready for next year!

Also next week, we will be hosting our MYP Performing Arts Showcase on Thursday at 11.00am. This will be a great event to see the performing skills of our MYP Music and Drama students. All parents are welcome and I encourage you to come along. While

you are here, please stop by the MYP Visual Arts Exhibition, in the Level 2 Exhibition Space. Also upcoming will be our final assembly on June 13th. This is our Secondary Awards Assembly and is an event that is also filled with performances and highlights from throughout the year. More information will be coming home soon in an email to parents.

Sincerely yours,

Michael ArcidiaconoSecondary School Principal

Graduation201 8It was with much excitement and pride that staff and students throughout the school were able to congratulate the Grade 12 students as they walked to the Theatre for their Graduation Ceremony last Friday, 25 May. Students from the Film Club filmed the procession from the Drama Studio, where the graduands assembled to don their caps and gowns, through the school and past the cheering elementary students. The film was streamed live to the Theatre, where parents and secondary students were waiting.

The graduation ceremony began with a musical performance of Rondo for flute, violin and piano. This performance by Kira Lai (G11), Alyce de Yee (G9) and Ms Hadewych Dujardin was an original composition by Grade 12 student, Kako Zaitsu.

The guest speaker, Rafiq Jumabhoy, a business innovator and Managing Principal of Orkney Holdings, touched on what it means to be a global citizen and the bright future that the assembled students had ahead of them, before Wern-Shynn Soon and Sumire Uenishi performed two pieces on violin and piano that were composed by Sumire.

We celebrated Salutatorian, Wern-Shynn Soon, and Valedictorian, Hwei Linn Khoo, while Rachel Lim received the Global Citizen award for international understanding. Each award winner gave eloquent and engaging acceptance speeches.

After each student was presented with their graduation diploma, they performed their own medley Best Day of My Life and It’s Time, which really got the audience moving.

28 students graduated this year, which is IGBIS’ largest graduating class so far. Many students have already received offers to some of the world’s top universities, including Cambridge University, Imperial College London, University of Bristol, University of British Columbia, University of Edinburgh, King’s College London and Yale-NUS Singapore.

“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have” ~Maya Angelou

PYP Art Exhibition 2018The final outcomes for the art units were created, developed, improved and reflected upon. Artwork was chosen and mounted, displayed and viewed. The PYP Art Exhibition opened in assembly on the 8th of May, showcasing artwork from Fireflies to Grade 5 and all students participated in an interactive assembly. Two videos of the exhibition were created: the ‘PYP Art Video’ and the ‘360 Live Twitter Feed’. Please scan the QR codes below to view!

Final Art Units of 2018Final art units included Early Years exploring characters and puppets in stories, Kindergarten attempted to work with air in their art by creating kinetic art in mobiles, Grade 1 explored their own flying machines whilst Grade 2 created some outstanding personal responses to a single sunflower. Grade 3 became sustainable designers creating their own floral sculpture designs based on recycled media and Grade 4 finished the year by working and observing scientific properties in clay. Grade 5 contemplated upon and reflected on leaving one school division to move to another, by inquiring into legacies and how they connected to themselves.

Congratulations to all the artists this yearThere were many risk-takers exploring new and unfamiliar art media and students demonstrating excellent learner agency by carrying out independent research tasks. The artworks were extremely varied, showing that Elementary students really are individual learners in Art, following their own interests, passions and skill sets.

Have a great break and see you next year. And remember……just keep creating!

Ahmad heads to Cornell!We are excited to announce that Ahmad Abuzahra, one of our 2017 graduating students, has been of-fered a place at Cornell University, starting in Au-gust this year. Cornell is a private Ivy League re-search university located in Ithaca, New York. For the past year, Ahmad has been studying at George-town University in Qatar, but is looking forward to a change of lifestyle - and weather - with his move to the USA. We caught up with Ahmad to find out more about his move and his plans for the future. We offer him heartfelt congratulations and best wishes for his years ahead at Cornell and his future post-uni-versity.

You spent this past year studying in Qatar. What did you like about that? Qatar provided a great education and amazing friends.

The people that I met in Doha are what made my experience amazing. My friends there—whether they were classmates, pro-fessors, or colleagues—are a very diverse and intelligent bunch.

Spending a year in the Middle East also provides an intimate in-sight into some different elements of the region’s culture and pol-itics, which adds to my understanding of the world.

Why have you chosen Cornell?Among the greatest universities in the world, Cornell is my pick for

its interdisciplinary academics and genuine so-cio-economic diversity. The Economics program is also very strong and effective at placing in good career paths.

Growing up internationally, I am most comfort-able in a diverse environment. From the 1800s when Cornell was founded, it began to set prec-edents for accepting and integrating minorities into elite institutions.

In interdisciplinary academics, Cornell is similar to the IB in how it strongly encourages broad learn-ing.

What will you be studying? How long will it take? What do you hope to do once you have graduated?Currently, I plan to major in Economics and minor in either Com-puter Science or Near Eastern Studies.

It will take three more years for me to receive an undergraduate degree: Class of 2021. After graduation, I plan to work in either the finance or technology sector.

What are you looking forward to?Cornell’s campus is very beautiful; I’m quite excited to step on the crunchy red-brown autumn leaves and smell the misty waterfalls.

When do you move there?Early August!

Is there anything you'd like to tell current IGBIS students - advice or words of wisdom?My teachers at IGBIS are some of the most wise and impactful people that have entered my life. Though many of them aren’t with IGBIS anymore, I would still advise students to take advan-tage of the attention which teachers so freely give. Work with them ahead of time on papers and exam prep.

Anything else you'd like to add?IGBIS is a great school and housed an amazing teaching staff. All students are presented with a very valuable opportunity and I am proud to be an alumni.

School photo collectionFor those parents who requested that

school photos be collected from school,

their children’s photos will be available

for collection on Friday 8 June from

2.30pm to 4.30pm. Fotorex staff will be

seated by the turstiles on Level 2.

Conversational Malay (Grade 9 to 11)Teacher: Rashid Amin

This course encourages students to develop lifelong language skills. The class will aim to develop proficiency in reading, writing, speaking and listening. Since this is a Mother Tongue class, there will be an emphasis on grammatical aspects of the language. The class will use authentic materials such as videos, newspaper articles, blogs, etc.

Robotics (Grade 3 to 10)Teacher: Geoffrey Derry

Get a hands-on experience building and programming robots. We will be using Lego robots (Wedo, EV3), as well a few other toys and bits & pieces to create robots that will do whatever you tell them to do. Build a soccer playing robot to score a goal or a robot that can solve a Rubik’s cube. Let your imagination and creativity run wild in this fun week-long robot experience.

IT Tools at IGBIS (Grade 5 to 11)Teacher: Geoffrey Derry

We use a lot of technology at IGBIS. Get ahead (or refresh your skills) on lots of the technology, apps and techniques we use at school. Explore how to get the most out of Google Docs, Sheets, Drawings and Slides. Explore not just how to make a movie, but how to make a good movie. We will also be looking at ways to become smarter with technology. You might even learn how to make your very own computer game.

Junior Sports Programme (Kindergarten to Grade 5)Teacher: Kevin Lawson

This course introduces students to football (soccer), touch rugby, tennis, badminton, and athletics. Students will learn the basics of each sport and play games and team building activities. The emphasis is on having fun, whilst developing confidence, independence and teamwork. A fun swim activity is also included in the programme, subject to assistant availability.

Art Camp (Kindergarten to Grade 5)Teacher: Elli Lawson

Art Camp allows students to explore creatively whilst building on drawing, painting and craft techniques. Artwork is created from both imagination and inspiration from other artists. Working in a specialised art studio, students build a portfolio of individual artwork over the week and also work together to make a collaborative artwork.

The course runs for two weeks, however each week has different outcomes, therefore children may choose to do one week or two.

English Language Learning (Grade 6 to 11)Teacher: Sean McDermott

In English Language Learning students will engage with and use the English language in a way that is relevant and purposeful. The activities are designed around a series of thought-provoking and challenging English learning activities that stimulate conversation, collaboration and problem solving in groups using critical thinking. Activities include designing and building pinhole cameras and explaining how they work, critically examining and responding to modern English texts and movies, bridge building and testing, and exploring how things fly.

Students will communicate and present their work in English using a variety of different methods. This programme is designed so students develop a high level of confidence in using English authentically at school to communicate and share their learning to a high standard.
