Dear Parents and Guardians,
This week in Assembly was the closing for Bahasa Melayu week, with the school once again joining together to sing the Negaraku and recite the Rukun Negara.
Year 6 students were the stars of the opening of Science Week and they taught us all about the different aspects and careers in Agricultural Science and the impact this has on our daily lives.
The rest of the week was spent gearing up for the end of year examinations, putting the final touches to the Technovation Challenge finale to be held on Saturday (18th May), alongside a STEAM fair and the display and presentation of the first Malaysian rocket into space. Do come along and join us tomorrow (18 May), as we also have other schools and universities presenting their STEAM projects.
This morning, I was happy to see the Year 4 students taking part in the overnight school camp and surviving the ordeal. I witnessed the teamwork and leadership yesterday, as the sleeping tents were erected.
Also, a big well done to the Badminton Team who played in a tournament last Friday. A hard-fought competition, which resulted in both our Sri KDU Klang teams getting to the semi-final but having to play against each other!
Mark a day in your calendar: 28th June. On the back of the fantastic Charity Concert the students organised at the end of last academic year, we are repeating this event to raise funds for Teach for Malaysia, by selling tickets this time. We hope that you will support the children and this worthy charity, and also join me on my last school day to say goodbye.
Finally, I want to share that a number of parents have spoken or written to me and to other colleagues about the change in school leadership for next year - concerned about possible sudden changes in the school with the departures of Mr. Tony and my own. I would like to quell those concerns, as both Mr. Thomas as Principal and Mr. Tait as the incoming Head of Primary are experienced leaders. They have, or are still working within XCL Malaysia Schools. Mr. Thomas, with his visits and discussions with me, has a sound understanding of the school and its culture and the next steps for its growth and development. Yes, there will be some changes that are inevitable, but any changes will be well managed and carried out to improve and enhance learning experiences with the best interests of the children at the centre of all decision making. On a personal level, I am actually very thankful that Mr. Thomas is taking the reins, as I know him professionally and believe that he shares my ambitions for all the children and staff at Klang to be safe, happy and successful and that all are ready for whatever the future holds!

We visited numerous international schools in Klang-Valley and Sri KDU Subang Jaya was not even on our list. Reason being it is way out of our travelling radius. However, we are glad we made the visit to the school before our final call, and it was the best decision ever! It was a huge transition period for us during the first 2 weeks into school, but the school’s team (Teachers, Administrative and Parent’s Teacher Association) made us feel right at home. We were given clear guidance and was kept well informed on the happenings in the school. My daughter blended into the community quite well with the care provided by the Homeroom teacher. All the teachers here are the kindest, as she told me. She looks forward to going to school and has become more disciplined in terms on knowing what tasks she needs to complete daily. She has gained so much confidence during this short period of time and was given the encouragement to explore and develop her abilities here. She was just selected as the new Primary House Captain for Year 6 AY2022/2023.
Every parent want to find the ‘perfect’ school for their child and are afraid of making the wrong decision. For us, as long she is safe and happy, we believe, she will eventually find the way to her own success.
We were hunting for a British international school in Malaysia that embraces neuro-diversity for “third culture family” and Sri KDU International School Subang Jaya was our best fit.
We are blessed to have 2 happy and active children enrolled here since 2019. They are confident learners with growth mindsets, self-assured and given ample academic and co-curricular opportunities to build their life-skills and practice leadership skills while forming their personalities in a safe environment.
The continuous support from Senior Leadership Team members, teachers, specialist teachers, teaching assistants, counsellors and support staff are contributing success factors to our “home-child-school” partnership.
We continue to look forward to various best possible positive outcomes for our 2 “precious not-so-little ones” in the next few years.
