Letter from Charles Ormiston Chair of the Board of Governors I am pleased to introduce the 2012/2013 UWC South East Asia Annual Report, which provides our community with up-to-date figures related to the College learning programme and operations. Chairing the Board of an ambitious non-profit institution like UWCSEA is highly rewarding but occasionally has its challenges. Performing the role effectively requires balancing the expectations of a range of stakeholders (students, parents, teachers, staff, alumni, UWC International, community leaders, other schools), all of whom have strong beliefs about what is best for the students and the school. Added to this are the challenges that the education sector as a whole is facing: cost pressures after years of tuition increases that are greater than inflation, increased competition in the market and the ongoing need to recruit and develop the best educators and educational leaders. Above all, we must provide the leadership that will ensure the College is giving our students a high-quality educational experience. Our ambition at UWCSEA is to be a leader in international education with a worldwide reputation for providing a challenging, holistic, valuesbased education. As the Board of Governors sets priorities and allocates resources, we constantly come back to this ambition. Identifying those key initiatives that will improve the quality of our students’ education, while furthering our ambition to be a leader in education on the world stage, is an ongoing process. The role of the administration is to run the school; the role of the Board of Governors is to ensure the school 2
is well run. In addition to the standard compliance and fiduciary roles that a Board must play, we work together with the school to ensure that the administration and teaching faculty set ambitious objectives aligned to the vision, seek out global best practices for ideas and benchmarks, and show boldness in action. Each Board committee has a specific focus, and members leverage this expertise as appropriate to support the school. The 2012/2013 year was a significant one for the Board. We successfully recruited a new Head of College to succeed Julian Whiteley in July 2014; completed reviews of language provision, teacher compensation and University Advising; and finished implementing the majority of the recommendations made through the Board appraisal, conducted during 2011/2012 by external consultants. We also began a process of identifying how we as a College can measure ourselves against our stated objectives, so that the Board can verify that UWCSEA is achieving our mission to make education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future. As we reflect on the 2012/2013 year, we also look to the challenges that face us in 2013/2014 and beyond. Below are the five most important areas of focus for the Board in the coming year: 1. providing a seamless transition for our new Head of College 2. prioritising and resourcing the key initiatives that will continuously improve the quality of our students’ education, consistent with our ‘challenging, holistic, values-based’ commitment; currently, the most
important of these initiatives is the curriculum articulation project 3. overseeing the final phase of the Dover Campus masterplan 4. ensuring the two campus model is a source of strength for the College and that we have unity of purpose within our diversity of practice 5. adjusting our stakeholder interaction model so that we can engage more members of our community more closely with the College I am very grateful to every full and co-opted member of the Board of Governors, who volunteer their time and expertise to support the school, and have a real impact on the educational experience of our students. I would also like to thank Julian, Frazer, James, all the teachers and staff, alumni, parents and students, who contribute so much to the school. Once again, the commitment of the whole community to the mission, educational goal and ambition of the College has resulted in outstanding student achievement and positive institutional development. I hope this update provides you with an insight into another great year at UWCSEA.

Letter from Julian Whiteley Head of College Welcome to the 2012/2013 UWC South East Asia Annual Report, which provides a statistical overview of the many achievements of our students and details of our operations during the 2012/2013 academic year. Kurt Hahn, the founder of the UWC movement, believed that education should be a preparation for life not just for university, and this belief underpins the philosophy of the College. While academics are important in providing the gateway to opportunity, it is the skills and qualities the students develop, coupled with a strong set of values, that will enable them to make a meaningful contribution to society as autonomous human beings ready to face life’s challenges. The education we provide is therefore multifaceted, embracing all five elements of the UWCSEA learning programme. This report provides some examples of the impact of this approach on our students. The 2012/2013 year marked another milestone in the history of the College, as we celebrated 50 years of the UWC movement. There were many studentled activities throughout the year and the community organised a 50th Anniversary Ball, which raised money to fund two scholarships to the College. Providing more students with access to the UWC education seemed a fitting tribute to the mission of the UWC movement. Students participated in an ‘Around the World’ photo competition where they took photos of themselves wearing their UWCSEA uniform at global landmarks. The result was a wonderful selection of photos—that said so much about our international community and symbolised our goal to make the UWC mission relevant all over the world.
Several developments took place in the learning programme during 2012/2013. In September, we announced our decision to move away from the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) in the Infant and Junior Schools. This was to allow us more flexibility and to ensure that our curriculum builds logically from K1 all the way to Grade 12. This was closely aligned to the significant work that took place through the curriculum articulation project, as we completed standards and benchmarks for English, Mathematics and Science. Also in the academic programme, the first group of East Campus students sat (I)GCSE exams, with excellent results that aligned very well with those on Dover. More details of the academic results can be seen in the academic section of this report. Elsewhere in the learning programme, we conducted a languages review, developed a sports policy, reviewed University Advising and, on Dover Campus, made progress on the recommendations from the CIS/WASC team many of which were relevant to the East Campus as well. We also conducted a review of the first year of the iLearn programme, with students, teachers and parents, to understand the impact of this significant programme on student learning. At an institutional level, we began implementing our new admissions policy, focused on increasing diversity in our student body; began the refurbishment of the Humanities Block on Dover Campus; launched a review of our uniform so that we could ensure it was being sourced ethically, in line with our commitment to sustainability; and the Centre for International Education hosted events for teachers, students
and parents, further establishing UWCSEA as a centre for thinking on education in the Southeast Asia region. The 2012/2013 year was significant for me personally as it was the year I announced my departure from UWCSEA after what will be nine years, first as Head of Dover Campus, then, with the opening of East Campus, as Head of College. It has been my ongoing privilege to work here with such supportive parents, talented colleagues and outstanding students. I am immensely proud of all the wonderful things that take place at the College each day, but I have to say that my greatest pride is in our students. I feel very fortunate to work with such exceptional young people, who with their talent and commitment are making a positive difference in the world. In an economically globalised and socially transformed world, young people like ours are needed more than ever. I am honoured to have played a small part in their education and am confident that, with them as our future leaders, we may be able to create a peaceful and more sustainable future. I would like to finish by thanking the many people—students, parents, Board members, staff, alumni and other friends of UWCSEA— who contribute to our school’s success.

UWCSEA Guiding Statements and Learning Programme UWC mission
learning principles
The UWC movement makes education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future.
Learning is a life-long process in which the learner engages with and reflects upon information and experiences to construct new or modify existing understanding as well as develop and apply skills and qualities.
UWCSEA educational goal The UWCSEA goal is to educate individuals to embrace challenge and take responsibility for shaping a better world.
UWCSEA ambition UWCSEA will be a leader in international education. We will have a worldwide reputation for providing a challenging, holistic, values-based education with an emphasis upon academic achievement, service to others, environmental stewardship, teamwork and leadership.
We know learning is effective when: • learners feel secure and supported Therefore, learners need a positive and respectful learning environment in which it is safe to succeed or to make mistakes and try again. • learners understand the purpose of the learning Therefore, goals should be explicit and learning should occur in context with connections to the world beyond UWCSEA. • learners construct new understanding by building upon prior knowledge Therefore, it is important that new learning is connected to what the learner has previously experienced or understood. • learners listen, talk and interact with others Therefore, learners must have a range of opportunities to engage with others in a variety of situations.
• learners construct meaning by making connections between knowledge and concepts Therefore, learning experiences need to be organised around core concepts. • learners are appropriately challenged Therefore, learning opportunities should align with the developmental stage and individual needs of learners. • learners use timely and goal directed feedback Therefore, ongoing assessment should be regular and structured in a manner that allows for specific feedback to guide the learner in constructing meaning. • learners have time for meaningful and deliberate practice Therefore, learners need well considered opportunities to develop and improve skills and understanding. • learners have ownership of their learning Therefore, learners need opportunities for selfdirected learning. • learners think and act upon their learning Therefore, learners need opportunities to develop strategies to plan, monitor, reflect and make adjustments to learning as needed.

Arts in the Academic curriculum As usual, the emphasis that UWCSEA places on music, drama, film and visual arts resulted in some significant achievements from students. Below are some highlights. For further information on the Arts at UWCSEA, please see the activities section of this report. Drama performances • Independent project performances – Grade 12 theatre • The Pity of War – IB Theatre (the first introduction of an IB Theatre student performance) • Group performance – Grade 10 • Can You Keep a Secret? – FIB • The Trial – Grade 11 • Sit up and Think – Grade 10 • Short form plays (the first introduction of plays written and directed by students)
Other Developments in the Academic curriculum 2012/2013 During 2012/2013, the College made the decision to move away from the IB PYP in the K1–Grade 5 curriculum. The decision was a result of the need for more flexibility in the written curriculum and the drive to ensure that student learning was related to the College’s context and directly connected to the mission and values. From 2013/2014 academic year, Infant and Junior Schools on both campuses will be following the UWCSEA curriculum. At the same time the curriculum articulation project continued to develop standards and benchmarks for individual subjects so that learning goals build logically in each grade from K1 through to IB Diploma.
Music The numbers of students taking music at (I)GCSE and IB Diploma continues to increase. Visual arts • Showcase of student art in professional gallery • Three students scored 100% in IB Visual Arts exams
17
Learning Programme: Activities The College offers an extensive Activities programme to students from Grade 2 onwards. The programme is roughly divided into sports, arts, leadership, clubs and special interests. Some statistical highlights from the 2012/2013 year can be seen below.

Community Feedback In 2011/2012, the College embarked on a process of trying to better understand the student, staff and parent experience. Part of this process was an extensive annual survey. As well as asking detailed questions about all aspects of their experience, community members were asked to say how likely they were to recommend the College to friends and family. This recommendation measure is used to understand advocacy levels in communities and businesses, with a view to identifying areas for improvement. Participants are asked how likely they are to recommend an organization on a scale of 0–10. Those who score a 9 or a 10 are considered advocates for the organization; those who score a 7 or an 8 are considered neutral; and those who score between 0 and 6 are considered detractors*. The Net Promoter Score is devised by subtracting the number of detractors from the number of advocates (neutrals are ignored). Organisations can score anywhere from -100% (all detractors) to +100% (all advocates). In general organisations score somewhere between -10% and +10% (though this varies between industries). During analysis of the UWCSEA surveys, the main focus is on the comments made and the ideas submitted for improvement. In addition, while many organisations will focus on moving neutral 8’s into advocating 9’s, the College focus is on the scores at the low end of the scale. In a place of learning, it is vital to understand why a student, parent or staff member is having a negative experience, and take steps to improve their situation.
The analysis and discussion of the survey is extensive, and a series of action points are put in place each year to respond to the particular points raised. Results of the survey are communicated with parents through emails and forums. *For further information and details of the research that went into devising this scale please see The Ultimate Questions 2.0 by Fred Reichheld, with Rob Markey.
Submission of ideas
academic programme. The College received similar lists about all five areas of the learning programme. • More customised to the needs of individual students. • Differentiated teaching for stronger and weaker students. • Ensure that students have a full understanding of what is taught before moving on. • Occasional take-home worksheets.
The survey allowed parents to submit their own ideas on how various aspects of the programme could be improved. These ideas are then viewed by other parents and selected and ranked, according to the other parents view. This process allows the College to understand those ideas that are both popular (ie selected often) and important (ie ranked highly), so that efforts are focused on the areas most important to the community. As an example, below are the top ten ideas submitted by parents about the
• Take tests home to share with parents. • Higher expectations on achievement levels. • An overview of the class curriculum at the beginning of the school year. • Written term reports with teacher comments, not just effort/attainment levels. • More specific assessments and details of such assessments be shared with parents. • Consistent teaching across classes of the same subject with different teachers.

Staff Breakdown
UWCSEA enjoys an extremely stable teaching environment, with a low transition rate of teachers each year. The table below shows the numbers of teachers leaving Dover Campus each year since 2005. Please note that East Campus is not included yet as the large number of teachers joining and small number leaving would skew the comparative data.
