Information
Pupils
have a ‘Play Break’ and a ‘Lunch Break’ during the course of the day.
Pupils are to provide their own meals and drinks as the school does not have a
canteen. Those pupils involved in sports practices or House Competitions during
their breaks, should bring the PE gear to wear at this time. Uniform Secondary Department Boys
- Dark grey trousers
or shorts; white polo shirt with a KIS badge. White socks with either,
white, brown or black colour shoes. Girls - Dark grey skort; white polo shirt with a KIS badge. White socks with either, white, brown or black colour shoes. PE
Uniform: KIS polo t-shirts & team colour shorts. Subjects Taught The
week is broken up into 40 periods of 1 hour timetable. In Years 7 to 9, the
subjects covered are English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography, Physical
Education, Swimming, Information & Communications Technology (ICT), Music
and Art. Pupils are given a choice between learning Bahasa Malaysia and French. The
subjects offered at GCSE level in Years 10 and 11 are English, Mathematics,
Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Double Award Science, ICT, Geography, History, Art
and Design, BM or French, Business Studies, Physical Education and Swimming. Our
students normally opt for seven or eight GCSE subjects from this list.
Assessments The
purpose of assessments is to help inform teachers of a pupil’s progress and to
help guide future planning requirements of the pupil’s individual programme of
study. Assessment is on going throughout the year for each pupil in the
Secondary Department in the form of regular unit tests. In addition to unit
tests, there are end of year tests in the third term for all students except the
Year 11, 12 and 13 students who take their external examinations at this time. Our students are also assessed through various external examinations.
Homework Policy
Field Trips Local
field trips, educational visits and expeditions are organised from time to time
by the class teacher where it is felt such a visit may supplement either the
syllabus or the general aims of the school.
These are normally organised on a class basis and whilst the
participation of all pupils in a class may be felt desirable it is not
obligatory, and parental consent must be given before a pupil can take part.
Field trips may also include (optional) adventure training such as an expedition to climb Mt Kinabalu, or to take part in a jungle survival course organised by arrangement with the Outward Bound School, Kinarut. After-school
Clubs Clubs
are organised by parents and teachers after school from Tuesday to Friday. These
are available to pupils from Year 2 and above. Registration for these clubs
takes place at the beginning of each term. Pupils are encouraged to join these
clubs, but it is not compulsory. Pupils may attend clubs on each day of the week
if they wish. Please
note: A
fuller description of your child’s learning programme is published in either
the Key Stage 3 Curriculum Document or in the Key Stage 4 Schemes of Work
Document. Both are available in the school office.
