FOBISIA PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE The Founding of FOBISSEA
FOBISSEA Heads’ Business Meeting at Tanglin Trust School, Singapore, 1992
The Federation emerged as an information-sharing and discussion group among international schools offering a British-style curriculum in regions far removed from “home base”. In 1988 Ronald Stones OBE, then Principal of the British International
School Jakarta (now British School Jakarta), established the group with the f irst Heads’ Business Meeting taking place over a long weekend that same year at the inner-city campus in Permatau Hijau, and the attending Heads were hosted by the school’s Governors.
His Excellency, the then British Ambassador to Indonesia, showed his support for the initiative by joining its reception event, which was attended by Ms Abidin from the Kota Kinabalu School (now Kinabalu International School), Mrs Goodban from Singapore’s Tanglin Trust School, Mrs Clout from the British School Manila, Mr Thomas from Bangkok Patana School, and Mr Eales from The Alice Smith School in Kuala Lumpur. (Refer to Appendix 1 : FOBISIA’s Founder Members) The inaugural Heads’ Business Meeting was judged a success, and it was agreed that the experience had been of benefit to all,
so much so that it was decided the meeting should be held annually and hosted by a different Member School each year. This
enabled the Heads to visit other schools and, in the process, gain new insights into what was being offered across the region. All schools were unique in their own way, but the common thread among them was the fact that they all offered a British-style curriculum outside of the UK.
As the national curriculum developed in Britain throughout the 1990s, the ties further strengthened. By the early 1990s, the group
had expanded into an organisation consisting of 20 Member Schools with a growing membership base. In 1992, the organisation’s first Constitution was adopted, the first Chair elected, and the first annual Heads’ Business Meeting and Leadership Conference were convened. In May 2002, The Federation of British International Schools in South and East Asia (FOBISSEA) was registered with
the Registrar of Societies in Singapore, listing 19 Founding Members. By this time, the Federation had established coordinated sports events (now called The FOBISIA Games or The Friendly Games), music festivals, and professional development opportunities, as well as meetings of counterparts across the region, and more. In 2004, FOBISSEA established its first Secretariat with an office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In 2011 FOBISSEA appointed its first
CPD Coordinator, based in Bangkok, Thailand. The first of many Job Alike Workshops (now known as JAWS) was held at Harrow International School Bangkok, and the first CPD Handbook was published.
In 2013, FOBISSEA registered a name-change to The Federation of British International Schools in Asia (FOBISIA) with the
Registrar of Societies in Singapore in order to better reflect its expansion into China in 2009. In 2018, FOBISIA celebrated 30 years of supporting British-international-style education in Asia and launched an online Community Forum exclusively for its Member Schools.

FOBISIA Today
From humble beginnings, the Federation has grown into an organisation that is respected across Asia and beyond. FOBISIA currently supports 76 Member Schools across 18 countries in Asia, including Brunei, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. All Member Schools are committed to quality assurance through accreditation and regular inspections by recognised agencies. FOBISIA’s membership also includes a range of Affiliate Members including educational organisations and suppliers whose services and products are of interest to Member Schools.

The Future of FOBISIA
FOBISIA’s core business is grounded in its Constitution and By-laws. With its membership-base having grown significantly over the last 10 years to deliver enrichment, support and professional development for more students, staff and school leaders, the Federation elected in 2017 to closely review its operations and consider its future direction, particularly its governance arrangements. The review was led by Project Director, Dr Martin Coles. In 2018, FOBISIA moved to implement the recommendations from the Future Directions Report, including the recruitment of a CEO and amendments to its Constitution, to allow the organisation to grow and evolve with the international school community more effectively, and ultimately to achieve its newly articulated Mission.

MEMBERSHIP
Heads of Member Schools, The English School of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, 2018
School Membership
Membership of FOBISIA is open to international schools located in Asia that provide a British-style curriculum for a significant majority of students. To qualify as a Member School, candidate schools must satisfy the membership criteria outlined in FOBISIA’s By-laws and successfully complete the application process. Membership is tied to the Member School, rather than individual Head or academic staff. Each Member School designates its Head of School as its representative who votes on behalf of the respective Member School.
There are two categories of School Membership, including: a) Full Membership is open to schools located within the geographical region of Asia, that are fully accredited with an external agency approved by FOBISIA. They are entitled to attend Heads’ Business Meetings and have full voting rights. They can also hold office on the FOBISIA Board.
b) Associate Membership is open to schools located within the geographical region of Asia that have formally
committed to the accreditation cycle (i.e. working towards accreditation) with an external agency approved by FOBISIA. They are entitled to attend Heads’ Business Meetings; however, they do not have voting rights, and cannot hold office on the FOBISIA Board. The full list of Member Schools and membership benefits for Member Schools are listed on FOBISIA’s website.
Affiliate Membership
Affiliate Membership is open to related organisations (i.e. education organisations and suppliers) of interest to Member Schools. Affiliate Members are not entitled to attend Heads’ Business Meetings, and therefore do not have voting rights, nor the opportunity to hold office on the FOBISIA Board. They may, however, be admitted to FOBISIA Events as decided by the Board (e.g. Annual Leadership Conference).
Co-opted Membership
Co-opted Membership is open to individuals who have held a headship position at a Member School in the past. These individuals may attend FOBISIA Business Meetings and hold office on the FOBISIA Board, however they do not have voting rights. Any member may propose a co- option, seconded by two other members, with the approval of the Board. There are no Membership Fees for Co-opted Members. Membership

Membership Fees
A Schedule of Membership Fees is finalised prior to each academic year, and fees are invoiced in term 1. Members that join throughout the year are charged on a prorated basis. (Refer to Appendix 4: Schedule of Fees 2019-20)
Quality Assurance
FOBISIA’s By-Laws require Member Schools to commit to its Declaration of Continuing Membership (DoCM). The DoCM outlines the criteria that FOBISIA’s Member Schools are required to meet in order to continue their membership of the Federation and requires Member Schools to continually strive to meet FOBISIA’s Criteria for Membership as well as its Code of Professional Conduct. All Member Schools must be either already fully accredited or committed to commencing accreditation by an external agency approved by FOBISIA within three years of joining FOBISIA. Member Schools’ commitment to this declaration must be reaffirmed every three years, or in the case of schools that experience a change of ownership, within three months of the change taking place. (Refer to Appendix 5: Declaration of Continuing Membership) Member Schools continue as Full Members if they pay all fees on time, continue to meet Membership Criteria, maintain meeting attendance compliance outlined in FOBISIA’s By-Laws, and contribute regularly to and attend FOBISIA student events and professional development opportunities. Membership may be reviewed by FOBISIA if the Member School changes its mission, purpose, structure, operations, and/or licences significantly, fails to comply with the Membership Criteria, and engages in unethical/unprofessional conduct. The Board may take remedial action, suspend a Member School and request a School Visit if this occurs. Serious breaches of the Continuing Membership Criteria and/or Code of Professional Conduct (contained in the DoCM) may result in expulsion from FOBISIA or in a request to re-apply for membership. Affiliate Membership Applications are subject to review and approval by the Board or delegated members. Applications must demonstrate the applicant’s relevance and commitment to FOBISIA, including competence in supporting the activities and purposes of its Member Schools. From time to time, the Board will review the eligibility of Affiliate Members. Affiliate Members are required to sign the Code of Conduct for Affiliate Members as part of the application process and annually thereafter, to ensure they adhere to the principles which all Affiliate Members should follow in the course of their professional conduct and professional dealings with FOBISIA and its Member Schools. (Refer to Appendix 6: Code of Conduct for Affiliate Members)

ANNUAL ACTIVITIES
Annual Leadership Conference, Bangkok, Thailand 2018
The FOBISIA membership, the Board and its various Committees meet throughout the academic year, consistent with FOBISIA’s Constitution and By-Laws, ultimately to achieve the Federation’s Mission. FOBISIA conferences are often attached to these meetings to provide Heads and Senior Leaders, as well as other business and academic staff, the opportunity to network, share best practice and support one-another. In addition, a range of continuing professional development and student enrichment events are conducted around the region for Member School staff and students respectively. FOBISIA also supports teacher recruitment and works alongside like-organisations in the region and beyond and liaises with government agencies and related organisations in the UK to support its membership. Refer to the Governance section for further information on FOBISIA’s Board and its Committees.
Meetings & Conferences
All Member Schools are required to be represented by their respective Head (or nominated Depute) at FOBISIA’S Biannual Heads’ Business Meetings, which are held in November and March each academic year. These meetings allow for strategic planning, information sharing and decision making amongst the full membership, through the direction of the Chair of the FOBISIA Board and supported by FOBISIA HQ. The November meeting is held immediately prior to the Annual Leadership Conference, while the March meeting rotates amongst Member Schools. Although the March meetings are voluntarily hosted by Member Schools, accessibility and cost effectiveness are considerations in the final decision. Attendance, voting, quorum and other requirements for these meetings are outlined in FOBISIA’s Constitution and By-laws. FOBISIA’s Annual General Meeting (AGM), which all Member Schools are required to attend, generally follows the November Heads’ Business Meeting, prior to the Annual Leadership Conference. Constitutionally, the AGM allows for reporting of business, the audit report for the previous year, appointment of Board members and auditors, amendments to the Constitution and By-Laws, and any other matters deemed necessary by the Chair. Attendance, voting, quorum and other requirements for these meetings are outlined in FOBISIA’s Constitution and By- laws. FOBISIA’s Extraordinary General Meetings (EGMs) allow follow-up of matters that were not resolved at Heads’ Business Meetings or AGMs. Attendance, voting, quorum and other requirements for these meetings are outlined in FOBISIA’s Constitution and By-laws.
Annual Activities
10
FOBISIA’s Board Meetings are held prior to the Heads’ Business Meetings in November and March, and a third meeting is held in Bangkok in June prior to the close of FOBISIA’s financial year. Board Meetings allow for strategic planning and decision making at the Board level, providing direction to FOBISIA HQ’s strategic and operational business. FOBISIA’s Annual Leadership Conference is a two-day event providing an opportunity for Heads and Senior Leaders from Member Schools to hear from leading educational thinkers from the UK and elsewhere, share best practice amongst the membership, with opportunities to interact with a range of educational suppliers and organisations. Since 2016, the conference has been organised by FOBISIA HQ, under the direction of the Board. It is held in conference venues in Bangkok and other locations throughout the region every other year; prior to 2016, it was voluntarily hosted by Member Schools. Delegates from Member Schools are charged a conference fee to cover running costs. Exhibitor fees and Sponsorship are also sought to cover costs of running the event, and Affiliate Members and other educational suppliers and organisations of interest to Member Schools are invited to take up these opportunities. Similarly, conferences are also often attached to various committee meetings, as required, and as detailed below. FOBISIA’s Committees meet as required to assist the organisation to increase its focus on specific aspects of its business portfolio. Although the number and type of committees vary from year to year as the membership grows and evolves, the following committees are currently in place: • Membership Committee; • Safeguarding Committee; • Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Committee; and • Student Events Committees (including Sport, Music and Drama). Other Committees are established as required from time to time to deliver specific priority projects.
Membership Committee
The Membership Committee meets as required to review Membership Applications from Candidate Schools and make recommendations to the Board and the membership accordingly, which are decided at AGMs or EGMs by the full membership. They are also charged with reviewing and approving Affiliate Membership Applications received from educational suppliers and organisations of interest to Member Schools. (Refer to Appendix 7: FOBISIA Membership Committee)
Safeguarding Committee
The Safeguarding Committee was established in 2018 in order to advise Heads of Member Schools and their Boards on the latest developments in child protection practice. They also advise HQ on FOBISIA policy and procedures. They meet as required, but generally prior to Heads’ Business Meetings, and a conference is sometimes attached to committee meetings to facilitate professional development opportunities for staff at Member Schools. (Refer to Appendix 8: FOBISIA Safeguarding Committee)
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Committee
In the formative days of the Federation, the provision of high quality, inexpensive professional training for FOBISIA Member Schools was identified as an area of primary need. As geographic isolation from the UK presented difficulties in accessing training opportunities, it was decided that there was a need to establish a professional development “hub” in the region. Tanglin Trust School won a five-year contract to host a Professional Development Centre (PDC) in 2004, supported by a subsidy from FOBISIA Member Schools. However, the high cost of basing the PDC in Singapore, in addition to other administrative factors, made this central model for CPD provision unworkable. In September 2010, a new decentralised model based on geographical regions was implemented, with a view to taking a more collaborative, affordable approach to training provision, and terms of reference for a new FOBISIA CPD structure were developed. Annual Activities
11
Three geographical regions make up the decentralised CPD delivery model: Region A: India, Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam, and Yangon; Region B: Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Indonesia; and Region C: China, Hong Kong, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Philippines, South Korea and Taiwan. Each FOBISIA Member School nominates one or more CPD Leaders to represent them and to act as conduits for the flow of CPD information between the school and the Federation. As a result of collaboration amongst this network, initiatives such as Job Alike Workshops (JAWS), school leadership and inspector training, professional qualifications (i.e. NPQH, NPQSL and NPQML), and a myriad of other professional development opportunities are planned and shared on an annual calendar. CPD information is further shared using online tools, such as the FOBISIA website, community forum, social networking and a training provider database. The CPD Executive Committee comprises six (6) representatives elected from the wider CPD Leaders’ group, two (2) of whom represent each region and coordinate shared CPD planning and communication amongst regional colleagues. They are aided by one (1) Heads’ Liaison, acting in an advisory role and reporting to the Chair of the FOBISIA Board and CPD Executive Committee. Since January 2011, a member of staff has been employed to provide administrative support and is based in the FOBISIA Head Office in Bangkok. The regional structure is intended to provide a workable model for smaller planning groups. Regional representatives meet to consider CPD needs, and then all CPD leaders convene for the annual CPD Regional Leaders’ Conference. This allows the latter forum to become a tighter and more useful platform for sharing CPD planning and other information. Three meetings are held per year for executive members and two for CPD leaders. The timings complement the completion of most schools’ CPD planning for the following year, and put early markers in place for a training/events schedule. (Refer to Appendix 9: FOBISIA CPD Committee)
The CPD Leaders’ Conference is held annually to share ideas and best practice and enable coordination of FOBISIA’s CPD activities across Member Schools in the region.

Student Enrichment Events
FOBISIA Primary Performing Arts, KSHK, 2017
Student events, which aim to encourage cross-cultural appreciation and teamwork amongst students from Member Schools in the region, are held throughout the year. These activities are hosted and coordinated by Member Schools that volunteer to hold them on a rotational basis (i.e. Sports Invitationals, various performing arts festivals and carnivals, and other academic competitions), and external providers at specialist venues. Each FOBISIA school nominates representatives that act as conduits for the flow of events information between the school and the Federation. The Heads of PE (HoPE), Heads of Music and Heads of Drama Executive Committees coordinate shared sports, music and drama events planning and communication amongst regional colleague. A member of staff has been employed to provide administrative support and is based in the FOBISIA Head office in Bangkok - the FOBISIA Events Executive, who coordinates with host schools regarding bids for other events within the region. Historically, The Friendly Games were hosted by each of the Member Schools in turn, however from 2017-18, The Friendly Games have been outsourced to Sports Camps Australia (SCA) at a central hub in Phuket. Conferences for specialist teachers aim to bring together physical education, music, drama and other teaching staff from Member Schools. They are held throughout the year to share ideas and good practice and enable coordination of student enrichment events across Member Schools in the region.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT FOBISIA’s financial year begins on 1 September and ends on 31 August. FOBISIA’s funds may be expended for any purpose necessary for the carrying out of its objectives, including the expenses of its administration. Funds other than Membership Fees must be with the consent of the Full School Membership at AGM or EGM. FOBISIA’s accountants and auditors are appointed on an annual basis at its AGM. The Board presents an audited statement of income and expenditure, and a balance sheet for the previous financial year. A draft budget for the following year is presented and approved at the Heads’ Business Meeting. Auditors are required to audit FOBISIA’s accounts for the year and certify that the accounts are in order. They may also be required to audit FOBISIA’s accounts for any period within the appointment at any date and make a report to FOBISIA. Within two months after the annual Leadership Conference, a statement of accounts listing all costs, profit or loss incurred in relation to hosting any FOBISIA event is to be submitted to the Chief Operating Officer, who then circulates it to all members of FOBISIA. Significant surpluses (if any) are donated to FOBISIA.
POLICIES & PROCEDURES FOBISIA has a range of policies and procedures in place, including:
• Finance Policy • Logo Guidelines • Social Media Guidelines
Copies of these policies are available from FOBISIA HQ upon request.

MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS FOBISIA’s marketing and communications functions are carried out by FOBISIA HQ under the direction of the Board. They are centred around FOBISIA brand exposure at FOBISIA events, and the delivery of key messages and information via FOBISIA’s website, social media and membership publications (THE FOBISIAN, the CPD Digest, The Sports Newsletter, and this Membership Handbook, as well as CPD and Student Events Handbooks). FOBISIA is currently embarking on the development of its first Communications Strategy in order to align its communications with the Federation’s newly articulated vision, aims and objectives and to enable better measurement of success going forward.
The FOBISIA Brand
In 2013, FOBISSEA registered a name change to The Federation of British International Schools in Asia, or FOBISIA, with the Registrar of Societies in Singapore, and launched its new branding, which was trademarked in mid-2016.
