IGCSE students can now choose to study Accounting. Students that opt for Accounting will gain confidence in the ability to understand and communicate financial matters.

Accountant Teacher Ms Anita said: “The addition of Accounting to the IGCSE Options Band works as a great subject complement to those who are choosing Business Studies as it provides greater options for students who are more inclined towards that career pathway.”

Year 10 students have the chance to design their own educational path as they work towards their IGCSE qualification. On top of core subjects, students can opt to study additional subjects, including Additional Mathematics, Computer Science and Art and Design.

The journey to become an effective leader as an ad

The journey to become an effective leader as an adult starts now!

Throughout their time at Straits International School Penang all students are given opportunities to develop important leadership skills, both in the classroom and beyond.
By taking on leadership roles, students learn to manage real and meaningful responsibilities that will have a genuine impact on their school life, as well as help them develop valuable life skills, such as resilience, creative problem solving, teamwork, and the ability to inspire others.

Here students have the opportunity to learn leadership skills by become a School Council Committee Member; being part of the EdTech Committee; being a Straits Hero by joining our service and charity committee; becoming a School Captain or Vice-Captain or a House Captain or Vice-Captain; and there’s plenty of opportunities to take a leadership role in our Straits Dragons sports teams too!

Our Former School Captain Jing Xuan said:

“Being school captain for my last schooling year has been an exciting experience. The highlight of holding this position was getting the chance to write a motivational speech for our graduation ceremony to inspire others.”

“I hope everyone gets involved in all the activities and opportunities on offer at Straits this year.”

Vice School Captain Kunal reflects on his primary

Vice School Captain Kunal reflects on his primary school experience and contributes his Key Stage exam success to his parents, he said:

“I would like to thank my parents for being the greatest support in my Key Stage exams. They motivated me to practice and supported me to be prepared both physically and mentally.

“I also think it is important to have a fair share of study and play, which is what enabled me to successfully gain 6.0 in two subjects, and 5.8 in 1 of them.”

He also elaborated on how his teachers see his potential in leadership: “I was initially surprised that I’ve got the role of Vice School Captain as I previously applied for student council. However, I would like to thank Ms Hannah for recommending me for this role and I am grateful to be able to contribute to various student council meetings, and organising the last day of school activity for the primary students.”

Our goal in educating students is to shape them into well-rounded and responsible individuals who are ready to take on life’s challenges with boldness and resilience. Enquire now to find out more: https://calendly.com/vipcampustour/vip-campus-tour
