SIS first newsletter was released today. Although only four pages long, it is colourful and is of a high quality. I was featured in the section welcoming new teachers to the school..haha.
A short staff meeting was called to iron out details in connection to the coming CA examinations. Letters will be sent to all students to inform them of the dates for the various papers. Subject tests will be held during lesson time from 22 Oct 2007. I will be helping to vet all papers for the PD Maths papers and all Year 7 and Year 11 papers to see that it is up to the mark and that the format matches our Singapore standard. Years 9 and Year 11 will stick to the IGCSE and IB standard respectively and will be assisting the teachers in vetting the Maths papers.
SIS Motto, Vision, Mission and Core Values
The motto of SIS is “Carpe Diem” which means “seize the day”. Simply put, it means making the most of each day having fun while at the same time working hardtowards achieving one’s goals.
Its vision is to become a vibrant, outstanding institution of learning recognised globally as one of the finest.
To provide quality international educationthat will groom students to become responsible global citizens, while retaining their Indian values is the school mission.
The school core values stands on 4 main pillars which are Engaging minds, Touching Hearts, Dignity in Action and a sense of enterprise.
SIS, Mumbai supports and actively engages in teaching the IB Learner Profiles (see picture).. The school curriculum, which is modelled on the lines of the systematic, scientific and practical aspects of the Singapore Education System, with affiliations to IGCSE ( “O” and “A” Levels). In addition, SIS will be affiliated to International Baccalaurete (IB) from Geneva, Switzerland for Grades 11 and 12, which is accredited by universities in India, Europe, America and Australia. Advanced placements and extra credits are given by many universities in the United kingdom, United States of America, Canada and Auatralia. Singapore International School is already a candidate IB school. The IB Diploma Programme is a challenging two years curriculum primarily aimed at students aged 16 years to 19 years. the programme prepare students for university and encourages them to ask challenging questions, learn how to learn, develop a strong sense of their own identity and culture and develop the ability to communicate with an understanding of people from other countries and culture.
