Tenby Schools Penang
Dear Parents Another successful week at Tenby culminated in our biggest ever Open Day turn out for our schools. We were lucky to have 43 families attend our event on Saturday 5
th November with families signing up on the day. Thank you for
your ever growing support and your “word of mouth” culture helped us to achieve beyond are target of 40 families. Over the past two weeks we have appointed a new Head Boy and Head Girl, redesigned our student council team, won our first ever Girl Guides Queens Award, beaten local international schools in Netball and Football competitions, hosted Deepavali celebrations and United Nations Day, won awards from Cambridge for best students in Malaysia and World and organised a 50 student scout weekend. Wow! As usual this would not be possible without the help of parents, teachers and of course the students. Thank you all for being part of our community and supporting the school. This week I was contacted for an interview by a magazine group, I was asked to state one word to describe us as a school and I replied there is no singular word. There are too many words to describe the wonderful world of Tenby however success, achievement and well-rounded individuals would be near the top. Canteen Review We have been reviewing the canteen for both staff and students. Over 300 students and 61 staff completed the questionnaire. We are currently working with Fabulosity Management Services to improve the experience for both staff and students. An action plan has been created and we are in the process of sharing this with all stakeholders. New Brochures We have added to our new International Prospectus by adding a new Sixth Form prospectus and National School prospectus. All will be available on our website. New Student Leadership Council After much review and debate the students have developed a new United Nations template to further develop the student voice, so they can make an impact on school life. Led by the new Head Boy and Head Girl and assisted by a Secretary, Treasurer and section heads, the new system will make students accountable for aspects of school development. Heads of sections include Community, Charity, Sports and House, Student Feedback, Activities and Eco teams

Sri Tenby Primary School (STPS)
Scout Camp
The school scout camp was held from the 21st -22
nd October 2016. A total of 56 scouts from the primary and the
secondary school attended the two days camp.
The camp was a success. The scouts were involved in many
activities such as pitching their tents, designing their team flag,
survival training, first aid sessions, fire fighting and cooking
competition.
It was a thumbs up from everyone who participated.
We would like to thank teachers who organised and ran the
camp.

Swimming Certificates
Other than its safety benefit, swimming is a beneficial activity as it trains the cardiovascular system. It is a low impact
exercise and provides a whole body workout as you have to move all parts of your body. Furthermore, a swim
session in the pool relaxes the mind and is often an occasion for social contacts
A group of our students received their swimming competency certificate after undergoing a swimming course. Well
done to those who have completed their training.
Best Class of the Month of October 2016
The Best Class Of the Month of October 2016 goes to Tahun 4.

possible.

helping to make this possible.

Sri Tenby Secondary School (STSS)
REUSE, REDUCE AND RECYCLE – Form2 (English Language)
Students had fun learning about the environmental benefits of recycling and how reusing,
reducing and recycling (3R’S) can save resources and reduce pollution.
Students worked in groups to create a birthday gift using recycled paper, tins, bottles and boxes. They presented
their finished products proudly and tokens were awarded for effort and work well done!
The project helped students to understand the importance and benefits of 3R’s and how it helps to save resources.
Besides that, students also had the opportunity to work in groups which helped them to enhance their social skills.

The school is running exciting activities after the PT3 examination. Some of the activities include batik painting (Art),
building a pyramid from recycled plywood (History).

Building a pyramid from recycled plywood. (History)
Hurray! It’s done and I am so proud of my work!

Batik painting (Art)
Students learnt batik painting. The craft requires a steady hand and
much concentration. Basically, the process included sketching the
required picture on cloth and then applying wax. Lastly colours are
applied.
Students produced pieces of batik with a flora and fauna theme.
Now, this is
how it’s done…
Wow! That
is a fantastic
piece of art!

Tenby International Primary School (TIPS)
Dear Parents,
It has been a very exciting and busy couple of weeks in the Primary
school. Diwali celebrations were held last week, efficiently co- ordinated,
by Ms Rino and Ms Simi. Through Bahasa lessons the children learned
all about the history behind the celebration. All classes also cooperated
to create a TIPS Rangoli column.
In the assembly we were treated to some fantastic dancing and singing
from siblings, Kabir Year3 & Avneet Year 4. They really got the crowd
involved with their excellent performances.
Regards
Ms Marian
(Head of TIPS)

I was very pleased to award the first Bronze merit certificates in our Celebration
Assembly today.
Akshayaa and Huey, both in year 4, have managed to earn 20 merits since the
start of the year. They will now be continuing their fantastic effort and will be
aiming for Silver.
CONGRATULATIONS!
UN Day
For UN Day, last week, Year 6 worked with children from Year 7 to create
rooms to celebrate different UN member countries. They all dressed up, made
food and shared information with students from the rest of the campus. All the
classes visited the different rooms experience the many delights of the different
countries.

Finalists again!
Last Saturday we took part in the annual, U11 invitational Football
tournament at Uplands. This competition had 14 teams from across
Penang and KL. As always the boys played with great commitment
and skill. For the second consecutive year, our A team managed to
get the final. They came runners up over all, only losing by one goal.
The boys proudly wore their medals home. Thank you to Coach Zaff
and Ms Jackson for training the teams so well.

Tenby International Secondary School (TISS)
It was a well-deserved and well-timed half term break for all our students and staff. Everyone is back looking vibrant
and full of energy and enthusiasm for their learning goals again!
As you can see from the Tenby Penang social media sites TISS continues where we finished back in October, UN
Day displayed a whole array of food, drink and displays of information from the research they had been doing in their
tutor times. It was great to see the team work amongst the students and the competition (and tactics!) to tempt you
into their country!
This weekend we host the Late Late Halloween event and look forward to welcoming the ghosts and ghouls to Tenby
Penang for more food, activities and a disco. For further information please speak to one of the Student Leadership
team or see one of the many posters around the school.
The year 11 students are beginning to realise that they are almost at the point of making one of the most difficult
decisions of their lives so far; what to do after their IGCSE’s and we are providing careers support and information
via different means to ensure our students make the right decision of where and what to study next.
So much to pack into the next three weeks for our students and I hope that we see you at the upcoming Parents
Events.
Have a fabulous weekend.
Thank you for your continued support.
Kind regards,
Miss Liz
Head of Tenby International Secondary

Hot Off the Press! Our Sixth Form Prospectus
We are proud to present our new 6F Prospectus.
The prospectus provides key information to help our year 11 students
and parents decide on the next step in their education.
What is included? Course information, subject breakdown and
prerequisites, interview with current year 13 student Kenji, what to
expect at sixth form, careers and pastoral support and guidance and
how to apply.
If you would like a copy please contact [email protected] and we
would be happy to send you one.
Thank you to Kiisha and Kenji for modelling!
Year 11 Get to Quiz our Sixth Form Students! – Part of Year 11 Transition
Our year 12 students (pictured) will be welcoming the current year 11 students into the library on Tuesday to speak
to them about their “next step” once their IGCSE exams are complete. Obviously decisions will need to be made
before then about where and what qualification they will go on to study. For year 11 students it is a great opportunity
to ask questions to find out why they chose Tenby, why they chose to study the A level programme and any careers
or university questions that may be useful.
Ms Paula and Mr Nick will be meeting with our year 11 students that are unsure of their next step to provide relevant
careers advice and support to help them with their decision making.

Sport Fixtures:
Netball Tuesday 1 November - It was a fantastic away match as our tigress marched into the Lion’s den. However having the home advantage, Uplands overpowered Tenby in both on this occasion. Tenby A v Uplands A Lost 6-12 Tenby B v Uplands B Lost 13-25 Well, it was definitely a good exposure for Tenby to play against Uplands who staged much stronger and experienced players. We will come back stronger next time! Monday 7 November - It was survival of the fittest, having home advantage, Uplands clearly walked out with disappointment as Tenby flexed their way for a double combo win this time. Well done!! Tenby A won 24-18 Tenby B won 10-2 Thank you Coach Fumi and Ms.Aini for piloting the team. #comebackstronger Thank you very much to all the players, staff and supporters! Mr Yorain PE DEPARTMENT
U14 Netball Match : Tenby vs Straits Reported by: Christine Lim U14 Vice-Captain
Tenby A vs Straits A: 29-1 Win Tenby A: Miho (Captain), Christine (Vice), Carmen, Gurudevi, Ee Lin, Ping Er, Kyla and Peng Hsin. Straits had a really great start of the game with some good accurate passes, but passes were intercepted by Wing Defence player Carmen then with a quick goal from Miho. Pressure was put into Straits’ girls with the score 5-0 by quarter time. After a good and inspirational team talk from both coaches, the two teams came out fighting and a far more exciting quarter brought the score to 11-0. After half time, Straits team knew that they were still in with a fighting chance. The players improved their passing skills to keep the ball in the team’s hand and finally scored a goal by the shooter. Minutes and minutes passed by, with the sharp Centre player Gurudevi and Wing Attack player Ee Lin, Tenby was able to shoot in 28 goals. With just two minutes left on the clock, the goal shooter popped in another goal Tenby secured the win! Tenby B vs Straits A : 11–5 Win Tenby B: Jean (Captain), Yun Whey, Yu Qi, Joelle, Jovie, Keshika, Rian, Ping Er and Eshnaa. The girls worked exceptionally hard during the match and it was the first time for the girls to play against Straits’ A team. The first quarter was slow moving and the final score was 3-2. With Yu Qi’s great defending skills, Straits was unable to score more goals. The girls created solid chains down the court and used the space efficiently, but still need to be improved. Jovie and Rian worked well together as a pair, they kept the game moving with their strong and right targeted passes. Jean and Yun Whey communicated well with each other and supported each other during the shooting. Jean scored their first goal in the third quarter with her accurate shooting skills. The girls worked so hard in the final quarter and finally ended up with 11-5 as a result. What a good and exciting game with Straits!
