WHOLE SCHOOL

Celebrating Merdeka & Malaysia Day: Different Roots, One Home

Our school community came together this week to celebrate Merdeka and Malaysia Day, with special assemblies in both primary and secondary highlighting the diversity, culture and unity that make Malaysia such a special place to live and learn.

Across both celebrations, our students explored what it means to belong to a multicultural community and how our different backgrounds, cultures and traditions can bring us together. From traditional performances and Malaysian food to history, quizzes, music and student reflections, the celebrations gave students an opportunity to learn about and appreciate the many different aspects of our shared national identity.

In primary, each year group contributed to the celebrations in their own way. Early Years explored how our differences make our community colourful and complete, while Year 2 celebrated Malaysia's diverse food culture and Year 3 shared their thoughts on unity. Year 1 presented a Cultural Walk showcasing traditional Malaysian attire, Year 4 explored the history of Merdeka and led the school in a spirited Merdeka chant, and Year 5 tested everyone's Malaysian knowledge with a fun trivia quiz. Year 6 brought the celebrations to a lively close with a Dikir Barat performance that had the audience clapping along. Our students also created Malaysian-themed artwork throughout the week.

In secondary, 7H presented a thoughtful skit entitled “Different Roots: One Home”, exploring how students from different backgrounds can come together as one community. Through the performance, Alina, Reyansh, Ja Qian, Karthikesh, Ariff Miqael and Yoogeon highlighted the importance of respect, friendship, understanding and unity. The participation of a student from an international background added another perspective, reinforcing the message that our differences can be celebrated while we share a common sense of belonging.

We were delighted to welcome so many parents to our celebration and are grateful to everyone who supported the events. A special thank you to our students, teachers, emcees and parent community for helping to make the celebrations such a positive reflection of the diverse and inclusive community we are proud to have at TISPC.

Different roots, different cultures and different traditions, but one school community and one shared sense of belonging.

Selamat Hari Merdeka dan Selamat Hari Malaysia!

Welcoming Our New Students Through Jumpstart 

2026 Annual Parent Survey

It's time for our annual Parent Survey. Your feedback plays a vital role in shaping the direction of our school. It helps us understand what we’re doing well, where we can improve and how we can continue to offer the best possible experience for our students and families. Your voice matters.

As part of the survey, you will see a question related to the Net Promoter Score (NPS), a widely used measure that helps organisations assess satisfaction, loyalty and overall sentiment. The question asks:  “On a scale from 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend our school to a friend or colleague?” NOTE: If your child is generally happy coming to school, please rate 9 or 10 because if you put 7 or 8, your score is not counted.  

It’s important to know how NPS is calculated:

● Scores of 9 or 10 are considered Promoters

● Scores of 7 or 8 are considered Passive (not counted in the score)

● Scores of 6 or below are considered Detractors

The final NPS is calculated by subtracting the percentage of Detractors from the percentage of Promoters. Scores range from -100 to +100, with higher scores reflecting greater overall satisfaction.

We sincerely appreciate your time and participation in the survey. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us plan ahead, identify areas for development, and continuously improve as a learning community. We look forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions.

SECONDARY

Taylor's Scholarship 2027

Clues in the Chaos: Exploring International Understanding Through Mystery and Teamwork 

provided with investigation folders containing information about the suspects, including details of their backgrounds, habits, and cultural practices. Their challenge was to use the clues provided to answer four questions and solve the case. The class with the most accurate answers at the end of each session was declared the winner and received a prize.

The event consisted of four rotating investigation rooms: the Café, Storage Room, Office, and Staff Lounge. Each room was carefully designed and managed by dedicated Interact Club members. Every room featured its own set of objectives, clues, puzzles and questions. Students had to work collaboratively, analyse the information in their folders, and identify connections between the suspects' habits and cultural backgrounds to determine who was responsible for the theft.

Throughout the investigation, students encountered a variety of fun and interactive puzzles that gradually revealed new clues and helped them piece together the mystery. Some puzzles could only be solved by carefully considering the cultural practices and habits associated with each suspect. This provided students with an engaging way to develop their understanding of different cultures while also strengthening their logical reasoning, observation, communication, and teamwork skills.

At the end of each session, the completed investigation folders were collected and the results were shared with the students. Small snack bags were presented to the winning classes as a token of appreciation for their participation and teamwork. The event also provided an opportunity to introduce the Interact Club to the Year 7 students, with several students expressing interest in joining the club in the future.

Through “Clues in the Chaos,” the Interact Club hoped to demonstrate that International Understanding is not simply about learning about different cultures, but also about appreciating diversity, being open-minded, and working respectfully with others. The event successfully combined learning, teamwork and fun while encouraging students to recognise the value of understanding and respecting people from different backgrounds.

Taylor’s Lakeside Model United Nations Conference 2026 

UKMT Junior Mathematical Olympiad 2026 

The Junior Mathematical Olympiad (JMO) is organised by the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust (UKMT), one of the most respected providers of mathematics competitions in the world. The JMO is a two-hour paper of demanding, non-routine problems that rewards creative thinking and full written mathematical reasoning, giving our young mathematicians an early experience of true Olympiad-style problem solving. Taking on a paper of this standard is an achievement in itself.

On 5 August 2026, our school community gathered to celebrate the eighteen students who represented Taylor’s International School Puchong in this year’s Olympiad. School leaders and the Mathematics Department joined the award ceremony to present certificates and to recognise the dedication these young mathematicians have shown.

We are delighted to announce the following awards:

• Certificate of Distinction & Best in School  —  Yashwant (Year 7)

• Certificate of Merit & Best in Year 8  —  Zihang

• Certificate of Merit  —  Shi Yu (Year 7), Alexis (Year 8), Aryan (Year 8) and Keding (Year 8)

Congratulations to all six award recipients. Their success reflects curiosity, discipline and a real love of problem-solving, and the whole school is proud of them.

Every student who stepped up to the Olympiad deserves recognition. We warmly congratulate our Certificate of Participation recipients: Qi Yuan (Year 7), Yen Ming (Year 7), Shi-Jian (Year 7), Justin (Year 8), Sihan (Year 8), Qian Xi (Year 8), Wayjay (Year 8), Avinash (Year 8), Taichi (Year 8), Rakhtaaj (Year 8), Shulun (Year 8) and Zen Yu (Year 8). Competing at Olympiad level takes courage, and each of them represented the school admirably. Yen Ming and Taichi are not pictured.

These results reflect the depth of mathematical talent growing at Taylor’s International School Puchong, and we look forward to seeing even more of our students take on the challenge in 2027. Well done, mathematicians!

Celebrating our CAmbassadors

On 11th September, our secondary CAmbassadors came together for a special meeting to recognise their contributions, celebrate their achievements and look ahead to the future of the CAmbassador programme.

The meeting began with the presentation of Year 11 Completion Awards, marking the completion of their service. Certificates of Appreciation were also presented to CAmbassadors who consistently went above and beyond, supporting events and activities with enthusiasm, initiative and a willingness to help. We also welcomed our new Head of CAmbassadors, Ke Jing, and held a student vote to elect the new Assistant Head of CAmbassadors.

A heartfelt thank you to all our Year 11 CAs for their dedication and service. We wish them every success in their upcoming examinations and all the very best for the next chapter ahead!

PRIMARY

Early Years Launch Their New "Blast Off!" Unit 

Spotlight on Handwriting: Introducing Nelson Handwriting 

What to expect this term: All pupils will be introduced to the scheme this term starting with a series of dedicated initial lessons. Early Years and KS1 will focus on getting letter formation just right, while KS2 pupils will dive into mastering their joins.

Year 6 Computing: Bridging Ideas to Reality with Micro:bit! 

Level Up! 

A new chapter is just around the corner! As our Year 6 students prepare to move into Year 7 next year, our school counsellors visited their classes to deliver the Level Up programme, designed to help students prepare for their transition to secondary school.

During the sessions, students explored some of the changes they might experience, from new routines and responsibilities to adapting to a different learning environment. They also had the opportunity to reflect on what they were excited, worried or curious about as they looked ahead to Year 7, while recognising the strengths and resources they already have to help them navigate challenges and prepare for secondary school. 

We hope our Year 6 students feel more prepared and confident as they look ahead to Year 7. We wish them every success as they begin this exciting new chapter!

IMPORTANT NOTICES

Important Family Day 2026 Updates

Influenza Notification

As we enter the influenza 'season', we are beginning to see a number of Influenza A cases across different year groups. This is not unusual at this time of year, but we would like to remind families to be alert to flu symptoms and to take some simple precautions to help reduce the spread of illness.

Influenza, or flu, is a contagious respiratory infection that can spread through coughing and sneezing, as well as through contact with contaminated surfaces. Symptoms can include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, tiredness and headache, and can sometimes come on quite suddenly.

We kindly ask parents to keep children at home if they are unwell, particularly if they have a fever. Students who are sick will be asked to return home to rest and should remain at home for at least 24 hours after their fever has subsided without the use of medication.

We encourage families to continue good hygiene practices:

• Wash hands regularly with soap and water or use hand sanitizer.

• Cover the mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, using a tissue or elbow.

• Avoid sharing food, drinks or utensils.

• Consider mask wearing if you feel this is appropriate for your child.

At school, we continue to:

• Reinforce good hygiene and hand washing.

• Maintain regular cleaning and ventilation.

• Clean classrooms daily and sanitise common touch points regularly.

• Monitor reported cases and attendance closely.

• Arrange additional disinfection of classrooms where confirmed cases have been reported.

If your child develops flu-like symptoms, please seek medical advice and notify the school.

Haze Update

As haze conditions can vary throughout the day, we would like to reassure families that we are closely monitoring air quality across the school day and have clear procedures in place to protect the wellbeing of our students and staff.

TISPC has an Air Quality Index (AQI) meter on campus. The AQI reading used by our school meter is different from the Air Pollutant Index (API) used by the Malaysian authorities. We monitor the AQI reading every hour during the school day and use this alongside guidance issued by the relevant authorities to inform our decisions and actions.

If air quality reaches an unhealthy level, all outdoor activities will be moved indoors, including outdoor PE lessons and ECAs. Classrooms are equipped with air conditioning and an air purifiers to support a comfortable indoor environment. During break and lunch, students who need to purchase food from the cafeteria will do so as quickly as possible before moving to designated indoor areas or classrooms to eat.

Given the current conditions, we encourage parents and guardians to collect their children as soon as possible after their activities have ended for the day, to minimise prolonged exposure to the haze. Families who wish to do so may also provide their children with an N95 or equivalent mask to wear when appropriate.

The school will remain open unless we are directed to close by the Ministry of Education (MoE). The MoE has advised that a decision to close schools due to haze will be made when the API reaches 200 or above.

We also have contingency plans in place should the school need to close for students. In this situation, lessons will move online and follow students' usual timetable as closely as possible. For students in Year 5 and above, online learning details and lesson information will be shared through Google Classroom, while information for our younger students will be shared through Seesaw. Google Meet links will be provided so that students can join their lessons from home.

We will continue to monitor air quality throughout the school day and communicate with families should there be any significant changes or further guidance from the authorities.
