Malaysian National Curriculum

The primary and secondary schools follow the Malaysian National Curriculum. Students following this curriculum will sit the UPSR (Std.6), PMR (Form 3) and SPM (Form 5) examinations conducted by the Malaysian Examination Syndicate as their counterparts do in government schools.

Although students clearly follow one or the other curriculum, they come together for breaks and lunches, attend common assemblies and participate in school events such as Sports Days and Productions/Concerts as ONE school community. The common language spoken is English.

As both curricula are offered at the school, teachers use the strengths from both to enhance learning. Hence, pupils not only receive knowledge at text level, they are further encouraged to think critically and apply their learning to the real world. The teaching methods and contents from both systems are merged to challenge students of all ability groups and used flexibly to motivate and encourage achievement.

Teaching and Learning

  • At Tenby teaching and learning is based on the best modern practice and recent research into how learning occurs. Students are expected to be actively involved in their own learning, not merely recipients of knowledge passed on to them by teachers. Individual research, pair and group work are emphasised. ICT is used throughout the curriculum to enhance teaching and learning. The state-of-the-art facilities ensure that every student has the opportunity to be computer-literate from a young age and empowered with knowledge on the latest in information communication technology.
  • At every level, there is a strong emphasis on communicating in English; a mastery of the language is encouraged and the reading habit and appreciation of literature is developed. Students are encouraged to develop an appreciation of the arts and to express themselves through music, art, drama or dance.

Learning is not however confined to the classroom. Every student from age 7 onwards is expected to participate in a wide-ranging co-curricular programme. Students may pursue personal interests, sports, the arts as well as projects aimed at promoting social and community awareness. The School´s aims are not only academic; students are given the opportunity to develop personal, social and leadership skills; to become responsible young people who care about society, are aware of social issues and have respect for others
