威尔斯王子岛国际学校

• 威尔斯王子岛国际学校（POWIIS）建立于2011年，坐落于槟城环境宜人、安全宁静的社区中。POWIIS 遵循英国国家课程，为 11 至 19 岁的学生提供广泛而均衡的中学教育。位于 Tanjung Bungah 的全新校区于 2019 年 9 月投入使用，目前为 3 至 13 岁的儿童提供幼稚园及中小学教育。目前 POWIIS 拥有两个专属校区，均配备优秀的教学团队与适应年龄段的设施。
• POWIIS 始终践行“既是对智力的挑战，又是温暖心灵的家园”这一教育理念，在严谨学术与周到教牧关怀的结合下，助力每一位孩子通往成功。

学校是一个文化多样且联系紧密的社区，学生、教职员工和家长在一个安全快乐的环境中共同工作。通过严谨学术和教牧关怀的强大融合，使得POWIIS既是心灵的挑战同时又是心灵的家园。

学生的学业成绩出色，但学校认为人生的成功远远超出考试成绩。学校鼓励和支持学生探索他们的天赋和才能所在，无论是在数学、科学、语言或人文、艺术、体育、社区服务方面。学生有很多机会参与本地、区域和国际性的课外活动，并发展他们所需的所有技能，以自信地向大学和大学以外的方向发展。

毫无疑问，追求学术卓越是学校努力的核心，然而学校远远不是一个狭隘的学术机构。

作为一所国际学校，POWIIS享有相当大的自由，可以根据学生的需要调整教学大纲，按照每个学生的个人特点：他们的优势、不同的文化和语言背景以及他们对下一阶段教育的期望来调整教学过程。

丰富的机会来自教学大纲内外，无论是课程还是课外活动，无论是学术还是社交，都为创造活泼和探究的头脑做出努力。学生们离开学校时，都将拥有广博的知识、雄心勃勃的前景和创新的领导技能，为他们的未来生活提供支持。

学校的教育理念包括：

•卓越的学术水平是学校一切工作的基础

•教学大纲没有规定所学内容的限度

•考试成绩至关重要，但良好的教育不仅仅意味着高分

•自我指导、自我驱动和承担责任是学生走向独立思考和情感成熟的基本要素

•学生应该在他们所做的一切中感到适当的挑战，但同时他们应该始终感到支持

•课程在很大程度上应该是平衡且广泛的，所有课程科目都应该受到同等重视，以便学生在做出选择之前能够体验到广泛的科目

•遵守马来西亚教育部的规定

学校位于风景宜人的槟城，主校区和小学部分别位于槟城的西端浮罗山背（Balik Pulau）和北端丹绒武雅（Tanjung Bungah），相距30公里，车程45分钟。从主校区至槟城市中心乔治敦（George Town）40分钟车程，至槟城国际机场30分钟车程；从小学部至槟城市中心乔治敦15分钟车程，至槟城国际机场40分钟车程。

• Prince of Wales Island International School (POWIIS) was established in 2011 and is set in a pleasant, safe and tranquil community in Penang. POWIIS follows the English National Curriculum, providing a broad and balanced secondary education for students aged 11 to 19. A brand-new campus in Tanjung Bungah opened in September 2019 and currently offers kindergarten and primary education for children aged 3 to 13. POWIIS now has two dedicated campuses, each equipped with an outstanding teaching team and age-appropriate facilities.
• POWIIS lives by its guiding philosophy of being “both a challenge to the mind and a home for the heart,” combining academic rigour with attentive pastoral care to help every child on the path to success.

The school is a culturally diverse and closely knit community in which students, staff and parents work together in a safe and happy environment. Through a powerful blend of academic rigour and pastoral care, POWIIS is at once a challenge for the mind and a home for the heart.

Students achieve excellent academic results, but the school believes that success in life extends far beyond examination grades. Students are encouraged and supported to explore where their gifts and talents lie, whether in mathematics, science, languages or the humanities, the arts, sport or community service. There are abundant opportunities to take part in local, regional and international extracurricular activities, and to develop all the skills they need to move on with confidence to university and beyond.

Without question, the pursuit of academic excellence lies at the heart of everything the school does, yet POWIIS is far from being a narrowly academic institution.

As an international school, POWIIS enjoys considerable freedom to adapt its syllabus to the needs of its students, tailoring the learning process to each student's individual profile: their strengths, their diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, and their aspirations for the next stage of their education.

A wealth of opportunities, both within the syllabus and beyond it, curricular and extracurricular, academic and social, all work towards nurturing lively and enquiring minds. Students leave the school with broad knowledge, ambitious horizons and innovative leadership skills that will support them throughout their future lives.

The school's educational philosophy includes:

• Academic excellence is the foundation of everything the school does

• The syllabus sets no limit on what can be learned

• Examination results matter enormously, but a good education means much more than high marks

• Self-direction, self-motivation and taking responsibility are essential to a student's journey towards independent thinking and emotional maturity

• Students should feel appropriately challenged in everything they do, yet always feel supported

• The curriculum should be broad and balanced, with every subject given equal weight so that students can experience a wide range of disciplines before making their choices

• Compliance with the regulations of the Malaysian Ministry of Education

The school is located in scenic Penang. The main campus sits in Balik Pulau on the western side of the island, while the primary campus is in Tanjung Bungah on the northern coast; the two are 30 km, or roughly 45 minutes' drive, apart. From the main campus, it is a 40-minute drive to George Town in the city centre and 30 minutes to Penang International Airport. From the primary campus, George Town is 15 minutes away and the airport 40 minutes.

The school provides the opportunities and the environment for children to explore, play and learn.

The Early Years setting is a stimulating, child-centred environment in which every young child can thrive. By building positive and caring relationships, teachers create a warm, nurturing and secure atmosphere in which your child feels valued.

A strong partnership exists between home and school. The Early Years curriculum covers seven areas of learning and development. These are planned weekly (and usually adjusted daily), with planning kept flexible and responsive while also taking the children's own interests into account.

The four guiding principles of Early Years teaching are:

• Every child is unique and, through continual growth, can become a resilient, capable and confident learner
• Developing positive relationships between teachers, children and parents is essential
• Children learn and develop in stimulating environments that meet their individual needs
• Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates

The Seven Areas of Learning and Development

Three prime areas

• Communication and Language: speaking, listening and expressing themselves in a language-rich environment
• Physical Development: developing coordination, control and movement, and building healthy bodies through active, interactive play and healthy eating
• Personal, Social and Emotional Development: developing a positive sense of self, forming good relationships, learning respect, managing feelings and behaving appropriately in groups

Four specific areas:

• Literacy: linking sounds and letters in early reading and writing, with access to a wide range of reading materials
• Mathematics: developing skills in counting, using numbers, describing shapes and measuring
• Understanding the World: making sense of the physical world and learning about their community, people and the environment
• Expressive Arts and Design: using and exploring a wide range of media, and expressing themselves through art, music, movement, role play and design

Key Stage 1 (Years 1-2, ages 5-7)

From Year 1, students follow the English National Curriculum, adapted to ensure it suits students from a wide range of backgrounds. Emphasis is placed on building firm foundations in reading and mathematics, which give students access to a rich and varied curriculum. Children develop their skills and knowledge in science, geography and history through integrated curriculum units such as the Rainforest project, and technology is woven into every aspect of the curriculum where appropriate. Music, art, Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin, PE and swimming are taught by specialist teachers, while other subjects are taught by the class teacher. Personal, Social, Health and Emotional education (PSHE) is also an important part of the weekly timetable.

Key Stage 2 (Years 3-6, ages 7-11)

In the final four years of primary school, the English National Curriculum has been adapted and enhanced to ensure students are inspired, engaged and challenged by relevant topics. Strong skills, knowledge and understanding continue to underpin and enrich each child's learning experience. Key Stage 2 is taught through integrated thematic units, with science becoming increasingly specialised in Years 5 and 6.

The curriculum includes:

• English
• Mathematics
• Science
• History
• Geography

• PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education, including Moral Education and Islamic Studies where required)

Information Technology

Key Stage 3 (Years 7-9, ages 11-14)

On entering secondary school, children are given the chance to experience a broad range of subjects before making their choices. A degree of flexibility is maintained in language provision, however, to take full account of each student's linguistic background and to meet the Malaysian Ministry of Education's requirements for Malaysian children.

The rest of the Key Stage 3 curriculum is based largely on the National Curriculum of England and Wales, extended and adapted to suit the local context and students' abilities.

All children are expected to have a reasonable command of English on entry, but some will still need additional support lessons, delivered one-to-one or in small groups.

Subjects at this stage include:

• Art and Technology (Art, Design Technology, Computing)
• English (Language and Literature)
• English Language Support (as required)
• Humanities (History, Geography)

Key Stage 4 (Years 10-11, ages 14-16)

In Year 10, students begin their IGCSE courses, all of which follow the Edexcel or Cambridge (CIE) IGCSE syllabuses. Students are encouraged to make progress in languages and are given support wherever possible.

In addition, all students take non-examined courses in PE and PSHE.

All students study the core subjects:

• English (including some Literature)
• Mathematics

Optional subjects (which must include at least one science and one language):

• Languages: Bahasa Malaysia (compulsory for Malaysian citizens), Mandarin, Spanish
• Humanities: Business, Economics, Geography, History, Psychology
• Arts and Technology: Art, Design Technology, ICT, Computer Science, Drama, Music, Physical Education

At this stage students study for and sit A-Level examinations, choosing three or four subjects. They are encouraged to select the subjects they enjoy most when applying, and are welcome to discuss their choices with their tutors. The school does its utmost to offer every student the most suitable subjects and combinations.

All students also follow additional courses covering university applications, preparation for independent living, and Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE). Year 12 students can also take part in regular community service activities.

POWIIS is committed to creating an environment that encourages and nurtures students who are beginners in English or who need intensive English support. The EAL programme is taught by a team of qualified and caring EAL teachers whose aim is to unlock every student's language potential through innovative and meaningful approaches to language learning. The programme covers all the skills required and is taught every day.

The programme ensures that English is learned in a positive way, on a short-term or extended basis according to each learner's needs. In addition to the entrance examination, students can be assessed so that an individual learning plan is drawn up for each of them, laying the foundations for their use of English. Students quickly build the confidence to communicate in English both orally and in writing, acquire a wide vocabulary, and develop a better understanding of English grammar and structure.

EAL classes are small, and one-to-one lessons are arranged for individual support. Once students have mastered the fundamentals of English, they can transfer into the full subject curriculum.

The school's broad and rich ECA programme is an integral part of school life, ensuring that every student has the chance to develop their talents, build confidence and explore their interests beyond the curriculum. At POWIIS Primary, the aim is to deliver outstanding extracurricular activities that enrich each child's educational experience. Beyond building skills and having fun, an effective ECA programme also helps students develop their social skills.

Just as students have an academic life, the school expects them to engage actively and widely in extracurricular activities so as to make the most of their time at school. Experienced and enthusiastic staff are on hand to provide support and encouragement.

Wherever possible, the school hands some responsibility for creating and leading activities to senior students, giving them valuable experience of leadership and organisation, as well as a sense of responsibility for themselves and others.

The school recognises that for many young people, self-esteem, motivation and ambition are rooted in their success in sport. It is equally aware that not every child is a natural athlete. The school therefore offers a wide range of sporting activities, both competitive and non-competitive, individual and team-based. POWIIS believes in the importance of good physical health and of learning to compete and set goals. Students gain a tremendous sense of achievement from being part of a team and representing the school with pride and ambition.

Sports currently offered by the school include:

• Basketball
• Cricket
• Football
• Gym
• Table Tennis
• Swimming
• Tennis
• Touch Rugby
• Yoga
• Badminton
• Fitness
• Running
• Ultimate Frisbee

POWIIS promotes healthy eating. The bright and spacious dining hall allows staff and students to eat together in a relaxed setting. The weekly menu is published on the school website on the Friday of the preceding week and features a range of Asian and Western dishes, noodles, vegetarian options and sandwiches. A selection of fruit, desserts and drinks is also available every day.

Students can pay for meals in one of three ways: the Touch 'n Go app, the GrabPay app, or cash.

Students may also bring lunch from home, but please note that food deliveries from services such as Grab and Foodpanda are not permitted.

Scholarships

A team of teachers and professionals looks after every child. The school treats each student as an individual and works hard to ensure their wellbeing.

Every teacher at the school serves as a personal tutor to a group of students. Tutors meet regularly with their tutees, mostly one-to-one and occasionally in small groups. They monitor progress and offer encouragement and advice, guiding students through discussions on academic progress, any difficulties they may be facing, extracurricular activities and life more generally. When decisions such as subject choices, careers and university applications need to be made, these discussions become more structured.

The boarding houses operate on a family model: every student develops a sense of belonging and loyalty to their House, and teachers belong to the House family too. Each House has a Houseparent who coordinates the staff and ensures that every student is properly cared for.

Secondary students can travel to and from school by school bus or private car. The school offers numerous pick-up points across selected areas of the island and across the bridge on the mainland. The primary campus offers seven pick-up points in selected areas of the island. Fees are approximately RM 1,200 - 1,500 per term (depending on the route and subject to the school's latest fee schedule).
