The Middle School staff are committed to developing every student during this unique time in their lives: adolescence. At UWCSEA East, we are extremely proud of our holistic approach to middle level education. We take great pride in preparing our students for High School and beyond by paying close attention to both their academic and social-emotional development. Specifically, we strive every day to provide a rigorous, supportive, and relevant learning environment. Our students forge meaningful relationships; realise their individual potential; feel a strong sense of belonging; find their voice by developing greater confidence, independence, and responsibility. Middle School is a time of tremendous growth and our students are supported within a developmentally appropriate learning programme. Middle Schoolers are encouraged to fully engage in College life through active participation in our Academic curriculum, Outdoor Education, Service, Activities, and mentor group experiences. You will find that UWCSEA East Middle School offers a wide variety of opportunities for students to engage in learning. As you transition into the Middle School learning community, please don’t hesitate to access the many available resources. We are here to happily support your child and family in any way necessary. Gretchen DePoint Middle School Principal

Finding your way around the campus There is a campus map on the East Campus orientation website, and one will be provided for students on their first day of school.
Who can help? Mentors You see your mentor at the start of school everyday. They will watch over your overall progress and general welfare.Your mentor is the first person you can approach with any concerns.
Teachers If you have any questions about your subjects or assignments, it is best to approach your subject teacher for clarification and guidance.
Heads of Grade Your Head of Grade is responsible for ensuring all students under their care are supporting the school ideals. They liaise closely with mentors, subject teachers and the counsellor to ensure students are provided with the necessary encouragement, guidance and support to reach their potential. You are always welcome to approach your Head of Grade with any ideas or concerns.
Counselling The Middle School counsellor at East Campus is available to all students who wish to talk about personal issues, concerns or anything at all. Students see the counsellor for a wide variety of reasons including adjusting to a new school and new country. When you consult a counsellor, what you speak about is completely confidential, except in cases of personal risk or harm. You’re also encouraged to utilise the UWCSEA Counselling website as a resource. Contact details for the counsellor is on the back cover of this booklet.
Health and wellbeing of students Medical care The centrally located Clinic (Block C, Level 2) is staffed by trained nurses and is fully equipped to handle minor injuries that occur in school. If a child has been taken to the clinic and needs to go home, one of the nurses will contact their parents or the designated supervisor or emergency contacts should the parents not be contactable. If your child has any medical condition that may require medical treatment, emergency care or that our staff should be aware of, please notify us via the online medical questionnaire below so we have the information necessary to assist them if needed. Any medication should be given at home or, if it is essential that it is administered during the day, then it will be given by the nurses at the clinic. Students are not permitted to carry medication around the school. If your child shows any signs of illness please do not send them to school, and if they are taken ill at school we will contact you to arrange for them to be picked up. Please refer to the section below on nominating alternative or emergency contacts.
Online medical forms There is a comprehensive online medical questionnaire that we require all parents to complete for each child no later than Orientation Day. The form covers vaccinations, pre-existing conditions and illnesses, as well as related information for activities such as PE swimming ability and other conditions that may affect their participation. Please note that we cannot take a child off campus until this has been filled in, so if it is not completed then a child may miss important field trips. If there are any changes in medical information, please amend the online form as well as informing the class teacher.
Food and other allergies Some children have food allergies, and we monitor this very carefully. If a student with a severe allergy, such as a nut allergy, is identified in a class, we will request that items containing the allergen are not brought into the school by any student in that class. For safety, the parents of students who suffer from such allergies are encouraged, nevertheless, to assume that the classroom is not nut free and to behave in accordance with that assumption. Once we have a better idea of the requirements of each student, via the online medical questionnaires, we are able to assess the level of caution we need to adopt in each class. If your child has a severe allergy, please make sure that this is indicated on the online medical questionnaire and bring it to the class teacher’s attention as soon as possible. We also require details of the management plan to be set out for staff. We can provide contact details for a support group of parents of allergy sufferers.

Communications College Counsellors Our counsellors are available to support Middle School students who are experiencing social and emotional difficulties. Referral is always after consultation between the class teacher and parents. More information on the counselling services is available {link}on the website{unlink} and on the portal.
Emergency contacts Part of the online medical questionnaire asks parents to nominate two emergency contacts in Singapore. It is important that these are kept up-to-date. These should be people that you trust to make medical decisions for your child should the unfortunate need arise. We therefore request that you do not nominate your domestic helper. Please also note that these contacts are not necessarily the same as the nominated guardian which we require if both parents are out of Singapore at the same time. This situation requires separate notification to the school.
Our school is a busy place with lots of things happening, so we have tools to help you keep organised and up-to-date.
For students Personal system login and Gmail Each student is issued with a personal login to the College website where you can access the Community Portal and the Online Learning Platform (see below). All students are also issued a College-linked Gmail account, which the College uses to communicate directly with you. You should check your email daily. Online Learning Platform, homework and organisation The College Online Learning Platform (OLP), is where your teachers share resources, set homework and send you and your classmates messages specific to the class. It’s also where you can post comments and questions about topics and have course-related conversations with fellow students. You can access all your courses from this single platform, and a calendar with assignments and deadlines that helps to keep you organised. At the beginning of the school year, teachers will spend time making sure students are set up and connected to the OLP. Community Portal The portal is dedicated to providing information you need such as upcoming events and resources. You will also access Activities and Service sign ups via the portal. The Notices section will tell you what is going on in the school that day that may affect you such as sports try-outs, music and drama auditions, and Global Concerns events. There is also an event calendar for your school section.
For parents Website and Community portal The website is a rich resource dedicated to providing information on the College and the Middle School. Parents can login to the Community Portal via our website or app where you can view information tailored to your family and about your child/ren. Access a number of key systems for the following: • online medical information system • contact information update system • student record system (timetable, attendance records, reports and assessments) • notices for parents (you can see the notices sent to students as well) Parents and students are all issued with individual logins which will be emailed to them prior to the start of the school year.

UWCSEA App The UWCSEA App is available for iOS and Android devices via the app stores.Search for UWCSEA and download the app to access eBrief, the calendar, notices, student timetable (including their activities for each day) and more. Parents will need login details to access the App, as the information is customised to each user. Updating your contact information and indicating a preferred email address If there is any change in contact information (i.e., phone, address or email), it is very important that parents amend the details the school holds on file. An important step to remember is to indicate your preferred email address for receiving school communications. If you do not do this the College will default to the first email contact on file as your preferred email address. Indicating a preferred email address also allows us to eliminate duplication in communication and ensures we are able to identify each parent uniquely as required by some key systems used at the College. You can indicate your preferred email address by logging in to the portal or via the UWCSEA app. Online College Calendar There is an up-to-date online calendar on the school website. There is also a printable academic year calendar listing term dates and public holidays. The College uses Google Calendar, and, depending on the calendar system you use, you can import all or some of these events from Google Calendar to your own to help you keep on top of what’s happening. If setting this up in advance, please make sure you include the Middle School, East Campus and UWCSEA/College calendars—you can also include other school sections and the PA calendar. eBrief This weekly newsletter consolidates key information into an easy-to-read format for parents. Considered essential reading, eBrief is sent to all parents every Friday during the school term. It contains information for parents on the upcoming two weeks. You can expect the first eBrief the Friday before school commences—to help you get ready for the start of the year. It is not sent during school holidays. Parents’ Association (PA) The PA provides opportunities for all parents to contribute to the UWCSEA community. Being involved in PA activities provides parents with an opportunity to be an active participant in their child’s school community, to keep up-to-date with happenings in the school and provides an avenue to meet other parents and members of the school community. New parents are encouraged to contribute as much as their time and interests allow.
The PA offers many opportunities for parents to become further involved in the life of the school (restrictions dependant). These include: • coffee mornings and other networking opportunities to meet other parents • nationality-based social events for parents to network with other parents of the same cultural background • general events such as the Family Festival and welcome events for new parents To find out more about the PA, click here.

Contacting the school
Middle School uniform
Absence from school
All Middle School students wear a green short-sleeved polo shirt with a grey skirt, trousers or shorts. If a t-shirt is worn as a vest or undershirt, it should be plain and white and visible only at the neck.
Please notify the Middle School Office if your child is late for school or will be absent. Send an email to middleschooleast@ uwcsea.edu.sg If your child has an illness that is infectious, it is vital we are informed immediately. In the case of some contagious illnesses we have to declare reported cases to the Singapore Ministry of Health. If your child needs to attend an appointment during school hours, you will need to collect them and obtain a slip to leave the campus from the Middle School Office.
Travel in term time Taking students out of school during term time can be detrimental to their learning. However, we appreciate that there are some situations when this is unavoidable. If your child has to miss any school, please inform the Middle School Office in writing. For planned absences that are not an extended family holiday, students need to complete a Pre-Arranged Absence Approval Form. This is available in the Middle School Office. Please note that we are not able to provide school work for students who will be absent due to holiday travel.
Parent absences from Singapore (temporary supervision) It is a UWCSEA admission requirement that parents of day students reside in Singapore. If for any reason, both parents are out of Singapore, we need to know who your child’s guardian is in case of an emergency. Please let us know by returning a completed Nomination of a Supervisor during Temporary Parental Absence form, which can be found on the Community Portal.
Appointments If your child needs to attend an appointment, for example with a doctor or dentist, we ask that you try to make these after school hours. If this is not possible, please inform the Middle School Office and class teacher of your plans. You will need to collect your child and obtain a slip to leave the campus from the Middle School Office.
You will also need the Physical Education uniform, including the hat.
Where to purchase uniforms In line with COVID-19 precautionary measures, all uniforms are to be ordered online and arranged to be collected. Visit uwcseaeastshop.org to place your order. East College Shop Term time: 8am–12pm; 12.45–4pm School holidays: 8.30am–12pm; 1–4pm Tel: +65 6305 5344 ext 2924 eastshopstaff@uwcsea.edu.sg
Footwear Shoes should be a practical design and should only be black. Shoes should enclose the toes and heel but not cover the ankles. Socks should be white, grey or black. The College Shop sells a selection of black school shoes. Non-marking trainers are required for indoor Physical Education lessons.

School day
Transport to and from school
The school day has been designed so that all Middle School students have breaks at the same time, allowing us to more easily plan whole school events.
There are several ways to travel to school:
Tuesdays and Thursdays have extended mentor time and the break times are modified as a result. Where there are two times listed, the first is the Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule and the second is the Tuesday/Thursday schedule. 7.30am
Earliest time that students can be dropped at school
8am
Start of school (students should arrive and enter classrooms from 7.50am)
9.40/9.55am
Morning break (20 minutes)
11.20/11.30am Lunch (55 minutes) 3pm
Classes finish
3.10–4.30pm
Activities session 1 (these are optional; see below)
4.30–6pm
Activities session 2 (these are optional; see below)
Students are asked to leave school at the end of the school day unless they are staying back for activities. Once you have been sent your login details, you can access and print your child’s full timetable via the Community Portal.
Bus The most common transportation is by the school bus, which goes to most places in Singapore. The Transport Office organises the school bus service—contact details are on the last page if you would like to know more. You can book either a one-way or two-way service. Buses arrive in time for the start of school each day and leave at around 3.10pm. Pick-up and drop-off times are advised when you book the bus service, which is door-to-door. If you have an after-school activity that ends at 4.30pm, you can take the activity bus home which leaves at 4.40pm. You will have to make your own arrangement to get home if the activity ends after this. Public transport There are a number of public buses that drop off near the entrances to the school. Students in Middle School are able to use public transport to get to and from school. Car If you come to school via private car in the morning then students should be dropped off at the drop-off point. For afternoon pick up, students can be collected from one of our drop-off and pick-up points. Bicycle Students are welcome to cycle to school, and there are secure bicycle racks available under cover. Cyclists must wear a safety helmet and obey all road rules. Parking There is ample parking on the school site. Taxi directions Ensure you ask the driver to take you to UWCSEA East in Tampines. As we have two campuses, it is important that you ask for the correct campus.

Lunch and snacks Security pass and security check “The security guards check all vehicles and pedestrians entering the campus. Parents must have their grey parent lanyard and ID card to show security upon arrival and must wear them at all times. Please organise a security pass to facilitate a speedy arrival to school if you or a helper will be bringing your child to school or collecting them regularly. Families are asked to upload photos for parents, nominated adults and enrolled children directly to the College database for their UWCSEA profile and ID cards. Refer to this Profile photo upload guide. To upload, log in here using your parent login details.
Visitors to Campus Under the current COVID-19 requirements all visitors to campus must have a valid invitation with a confirmed time and date and must have pre-registered with our visitor booking system – Envoy. The grade secretary or Parents’ Association will share Envoy registration details with you prior to any meeting on campus. Upon arrival on campus visitors must complete all TraceTogether Safe Entry procedures. Parents MUST have their grey parent lanyard and ID card clearly visible at all times whilst on campus.
The canteen and the Santai cafe offer a wide variety of food with influences from all over the world. If you buy your lunch each day, rather than bring it from home, it will cost between $3 and $7 per day. Students can purchase snacks and lunch using the (cashless) campus card system, which can be monitored and topped up online by parents. Students are able to utilise the campus card system once they receive their student ID card in the first few weeks of school. Further information on the campus card system is available on the Community Portal on the College website. They can also utilise other forms of cashless payments such as debit cards to purchase food on campus. For more information, visit the Food Services page on the portal. There are healthy snacks available throughout the day as well as hot lunch, salad and sandwich options. Students should not order food to be delivered to the school between 8am and 4.30pm. Chilled, filtered water is available in water fountains—bring a water bottle from home to refill during the day.
Break times There are breaks scheduled every day for staff and students to allow time for organisation, travel to class and a time for short recreation before re-engaging in classroom learning.
Technology Calculators The Mathematics Department requires students to have a reliable scientific calculator. Grade 8 students may wish to purchase a TI-Nspire CX II model from the College Shop as it will be required in High School. As with all other valuable items, students should label their calculator with their name.
Laptops All UWCSEA students in Grades 6–12 must have an up-todate Apple MacBook laptop to support their learning and complete the remote laptop orientation process–Ready Learner One @ UWCSEA–for students and families. Families have two options to source a laptop for school: • use an Apple laptop that you already own • purchase a new Apple laptop
8
Other useful information Ready Learner One @ UWCSEA is a set of learning engagements and families will be supported remotely to complete both levels: • Level 1: System Setup – This level will help set you up to use the school systems; including wifi, printing and our software distribution system (Filewave) • Level 2: Taking Care – This level will help you consider how you will take care of your laptop and yourself. You will also create a shared family media agreement to help develop a positive environment for use of a laptop at home. It is compulsory for students to store and carry their laptops in a padded bag. Bags which support our Global Concerns partners are available form the College Shop. A shoulder strap is strongly recommended. During lunch and break time, laptops must be secured in lockers.
Digital devices Digital devices include items such as mobile phones, kindles, iPads, and more. In order to promote a healthy balance in your lifestyle, you should not use digital devices during breaks or lunchtimes. They should be turned off and left securely in your locker from 8am until the end of the school day. If you need to make an urgent phone call during the day, go to the Middle School Office and your grade level secretary will help you. Likewise, if you parents need to contact you urgently, they should phone the Middle School Office and leave the message with the relevant secretary.
Digital citizens We are committed to helping students learn how to navigate the sometimes tricky world of life online. We want our Middle School students to get the best out of using the Internet and to keep themselves and others safe and healthy in their online worlds. Through lessons, assemblies and discussions, you will explore materials that will help to inform you about digital citizenship and being safe, positive and responsible online.
Homework Homework will become an increasingly important part of your life in Middle School. You should expect to spend between 40 minutes to two hours on homework each evening. The overall amount will vary from time to time; at some points you may have little or no homework, while at other times you will have significantly more. If you find that managing your homework load is becoming stressful or a struggle, talk to your advisor and they will help.
Lost property Please go to Reception to ask about or report lost property or to hand in something you have found. Found valuables are recorded and kept by the receptionists.
Lockers Your mentor will allocate you a locker on the first day of school. The school will provide you with the lock for your locker. Keep your locker secure at all times and do not share your combination with others.

Additional information regarding subjects
Arts
Languages
Middle School students have numerous opportunities to express themselves creatively outside the classroom through a wide variety of artistic activities.
In Middle School, it is compulsory to learn a second language. We offer Chinese, French and Spanish. The exceptions to studying one of these languages include pull-out learning support or the English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme. Students who need additional academic support through the Learning Support programme take a Study Skills class in place of a second language. Students in the EAL programme are learning English as an additional language through an EAL class. For Mother Tongue languages, the Home Language Programme (HLP) offers classes after school. Languages offered vary depending on the student cohort and those available will be communicated to parents early in Term 1. There is an additional cost for these classes.
Physical Education Students have two 80-minute blocks per week of Physical Education (PE). The school’s PE uniform must be worn during the lessons, and studded boots are recommended for sports such as football and rugby. It is also recommended to bring your own racket for sports such as badminton. It is highly recommended that students wear a hat and sunblock for outdoor sports and a rash vest during aquatics, over the top of your swimmers. Please bring a towel on PE days as students shower and change after lessons. Don’t forget a water bottle, as it is easy to become dehydrated in the heat and humidity. There is a comprehensive competitive and recreational sporting programme offered through the Activities programme—see later section for details on how to get involved.
Music There are many opportunities for Middle School students to be involved in music through the Activities programme, including ensembles, bands and choirs. Musicians involved in these activities have the opportunity to perform in termly concerts. Look for information on auditions in the website notices or contact the Music Department.
Instrumental Teaching Programme The Instrumental Teaching Programme (ITP) provides an opportunity for music tuition at the school, but taught by internal and external music teachers. Tuition is available on a range of instruments, such as: violin, clarinet, piano, recorder, voice, trumpet, guitar (electric, acoustic), classical, bass, oboe, saxophone, trombone, percussion, and flute. Registration forms are available from the Music Department and more information is on the website. Announcements regarding ITP sign ups will be provided in eBrief early in the term. There is an additional charge for these lessons. They are not considered to be part of the Activities programme and therefore run each term, rather than aligned with the activity seasons.
Drama Middle School students can participate in numerous drama productions throughout the year. Look for these in the Activities programme, and for information on auditions in the website notices.
Visual Arts The Middle School Art department displays work by many talented students to the whole school and the wider community throughout the school year. Work by individuals and groups are displayed around the campus, showcasing a wide variety of materials and techniques.

Activities
Service
There are four activity seasons over the three school terms each year. In Middle School, students are encouraged to participate in at least one extracurricular activity each season.
What is the Service programme?
The wide range of activities on offer fall into six categories: Wellness for Life, Mind Matters, Arts and Performance, Dragons Sports, Learn and Lead, and Create and Innovate. Activities can take place before school, but are usually after school from 3.10–4.30pm or 4.30–6pm. The ‘activity buses’ leave school at 4.40pm to take you home, but if you have an activity that ends later, you will need to arrange your own transport. Please check what time and day your activities are scheduled on before you request to sign up, so you can make it to all of them. Many activities are included in your school fees, but some require additional payment to cover equipment, coaching or other costs; this will be noted in the sign-up system when you make your preferences each season, and payment generally needs to be made before the activity commences.
How to sign up? Students need to plan out their Activities and Service commitments simultaneously to ensure that they don’t have overlapping commitments. Signing up for activities is done online during the sign-up period. Sign-up opening and closing dates are advertised through student notices, eBrief, the online calendar and generally take place in the first weeks of school following several guidance sessions with your mentor. To register your preferences, students need to log in to the Community Portal using your User ID and password, and then go to the activities sign up link. Please note: Sign-up for activities is done online during a designated period, and while parents can browse the available activities here, students must be logged in with their own login details to submit any preferences. Parents are not able to submit activity preferences for their children using their own login details. Some sports, music and drama activities hold trials or auditions to select their team for leagues or upcoming events. Trials are held on separate days, and students are informed about this beforehand via the online notices system on the portal.
The Service programme empowers students to become aware, able and active contributors to the community, whether on campus, locally in Singapore or internationally with a project in a developing country. Service is at the heart of our mission, and service activities are a vital part of the learning programme. UWCSEA believes in the transformative nature of the experience of serving others and in the responsibility we have to one another and the planet. The Service programme fosters empathy and helps students to recognise that part of being human is seeking opportunities to put yourself aside in the service of others.
Service Opportunities Each grade level in Middle School participates in embedded campus service during their mentor class: Fresh Fruit Friday and Home/Campus Composting. This ensures that all students participate in some level of service throughout Middle School. In addition, Grade 7 students participate in embedded local service during the Social and Environmental Entrepreneurship Development (SEED) class. Grade 8 students are further required to sign up for an additional local or global Service. All Middle School students are encouraged and welcome to sign-up for additional College Service, Local Service, or a Global Concern.
How to sign up? Students need to plan out their Activities and Service commitments simultaneously to ensure that they don’t have overlapping commitments. Sign up for Service is done via the online Activities sign up. There is a separate link to select and sign up for a Service. You are expected to take your commitment to your selected service very seriously, and full attendance is expected unless absence is completely unavoidable. Grade 8 students are expected to do a weekly service (commit 60–90 minutes each week) during the year. Local Service commitments must be at least two seasons and Global Concern commitments are a full year.
Service Trips The Global Concerns programme offers students, and in many cases, parents, the opportunity to connect with the NGO experts and communities who make up our GC community. This enables us to develop deep friendships based on trust, reciprocity and sustainability. By interacting with our NGO communities, our students are fortunate to have authentic transformational experiences that develop them as global citizens and shape their perspectives in a way that encourages respect, acceptance and empathy. Service trips are optional and enable students, teachers and parents, a real opportunity to collaborate, gain understanding and work together on global issues that affect us all. Information about upcoming trips and sign-ups happen through the eBrief.

Sports
Outdoor Education
Representative sports for the East Campus include: badminton, basketball, cricket, cross country, football, gymnastics, netball (girls), rugby (boys), softball, swimming, tennis and touch (girls). Representative-level sport is organised into seasons, with College teams competing in local school leagues and end-of-season tournaments organised by ACSIS (Athletics Conference of Singapore International Schools).
The opportunities for learning at UWCSEA extend far beyond the classroom as students take on experiential challenges that build resilience, collaboration and leadership. Our Outdoor Education programme offers an incremental progression of age-appropriate experiences to students across the K–12 curricula.
Sports teams may have an age group for Middle School students, although many do enter teams in a range of age divisions. There are also other recreational sports, such as sailing, offered via the Activities programme.
How do I get involved? Information regarding sign up and tryouts will be publicised in the first weeks of school via online notices, eBrief and in mentor groups.
Please note that due to the current COVID-19 travel restrictions, there will be no overseas travel for UWCSEA student groups during the 2021/2022 school year. Enrichment trips outside of Singapore are also unlikely to be available in the 2021/2022 school year. Instead we will be delivering a ‘Local Plus’ model, with on-campus experiences and offcampus trips within Singapore. These experiences will retain the learning for students, while giving them the opportunity to experience Singapore in new ways.
Optional trips Some exciting optional trips are offered to Middle School students throughout the school year. Although the destinations can change from year to year, all of our school trips are linked to outdoor education or service, and many focus on making connections with schools around the world that share our ethos and commitment. Information nights and opportunities to register interest and sign up will be publicised in eBrief, and trips will be advertised as they are confirmed.
