THE LEARNING REVOLUTION

at Taylors College
social technology

The learning revolution at Taylors is about the transformation of our learning spaces and the empowering of the learners to thrive in a student-focused learning environment; an environment that is conducive for our students to be more proactive in their learning.
The collaborative spaces at Taylors are designed to encourage collaborative learning, which stimulates creative ideas and effective learning. With the collaborative spaces, learning together is not just a culture, but a necessity.

Transforming Your

LEARNING EXPERIENCE
Blended Learning
LEARN ANYTIME, ANYWHERE Blended Learning is one of the innovative ways of transforming our students learning experience here at Taylors College. It is a teaching and learning method that is often mediated with the usage of computers or other advanced technologies like iPads, tablets or smartphones, used as learning tools. As such, teaching and learning can now take place outside the classrooms and at flexible hours. Classroom hours are now combined with interactive online learning systems such as Moodle, Edmodo and various iPad apps that allow a richer and more effective learning experience.

The Learning Revolution @ Taylors College

The landscape for learning has changed tremendously over the years. Students are no longer obliged to constrain themselves to acquiring knowledge from sources within the scheduled lessons and from their teachers. Learning is revolutionised with the development of more and more sophisticated technology, making information and knowledge accessible anytime, anywhere, catering to the different learning styles and needs of individuals. At Taylors College, this is the essence of our learning experience. Teachers are learning facilitators; students are geared to become lifelong learners who take pride and ownership in their learning success. Learning is no longer confined within the four walls of a classroom but at The Learning Spaces where students are free to learn with and from one another. This is learning at Taylors. This is the Taylors Learning Revolution.

MAKING LEARNING EFFECTIVE FOR YOU

learning styles

With a vision to make learning more effective and efficient, we have personalised our teaching and learning for you. The Taylors learning environment is one that caters to the needs and aspirations of unique individuals, as no two individuals are the same. Understanding that every student comes with multiple intelligences (linguistic, logical, bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal, musical, naturalist and existential) and also different learning styles be it visual, auditory or kinesthetic teachers offer various teaching methods to meet students needs

and preferred learning style, enabling them to learn more effectively. With support from tools like the iPad, students are able to understand their subject matter using multiple senses sight, sound and touch/movement. This makes their learning a more personal one in which they are able to better connect with the content at hand. The iPad also allows students to obtain information at a touch of their fingertips, improving student engagement in the classroom, and in turn enhancing their comprehension, thinking and creative skills.

Collaborative Learning
STUDENTS LEARN BEST FROM INTERACTION

collaboration

We believe that students learn best through interactions with one another. As such, Collaborative Learning is a common learning culture amongst our students. Taylors classroom set-up consists of table and chairs arranged in cluster format to help facilitate this kind of learning. With help from their peers, students will debate, share resources, solve problems as a team, sharpen and also motivate one another which inculcates a wider worldview and critical thinking as well as teamwork. At Taylors, peer-to-peer tutoring is another initiative that helps students learn from one another and demonstrate mastery when they are able to comprehensively teach a subject.

The Taylors International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP)

Motivated by a mission to create a better world through education, the International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. The Taylors International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) is a holistic learning approach that prepares students not only for the challenges of university but for lifelong learning. An IBDP student will learn more than just a collection of facts in the IBDP curriculum. They will also learn to ask challenging questions, learn how to learn, develop a strong sense of their own identity and culture as well as develop the ability to communicate with and understand people from other countries and cultures. The aim of the IBDP is also to develop internationally-minded individuals who recognise their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, by creating a better and more peaceful world. IB students strive to be Inquirers, Knowledgeable, Thinkers, Communicators, Principled, OpenMinded, Caring, Risk-Takers, Balanced and Reflective (IBDPs 10 highly soughtafter learner profiles).

Mrs Hoe Li Lin

Principal, Taylors College Sri Hartamas As an IB World School, we are committed to preparing our students with the capabilities for success in the 21st century. The IB curriculum provides opportunities for our students to cultivate skills to challenge and understand themselves and the world around them.

International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme

REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH TO LEARNING The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) was designed in 1968 as an academically-challenging and balanced programme of education with final examinations that prepare students for success at university and towards their chosen profession. With a flexible coursework that gives students and teachers alike more independence, students will be equipped with values and skills needed to become progressive and responsible global citizens. THE CORE DIFFERENCES The three course components that makes IBDP different are the Theory of Knowledge (on the nature and limitations of knowledge), the Extended Essay (a 4,000-word research paper) and the Creativity, Action, Service (a series of activities enabling students to enhance their personal, interpersonal, social and civic development).

South Australian Matriculation

INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION SAM at Taylors has an international reputation as the most successful programme in the world. Many of our graduates have gained entry into top-notch universities in countries like Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA, UK, Singapore, Hong Kong, India and more. CHARACTER BUILDING THROUGH COMPREHENSIVE CURRICULUM The SAM curriculum places emphasis on a balanced assessment, developing lifelong learners and emphasising communication and development of good character. Students are groomed to think and develop original and practical solutions to real-world problems and will subsequently fit well into the society as professionals and knowledge workers. UNIQUE BLENDED ASSESSMENT SYSTEM SAM is designed to help students develop the skills they need to succeed; college-based assessments make up 70 per cent of the final marks and external examinations make up the other 30 per cent. This system allows students to take ownership of their own academic progress. From this, students gain hands-on experiences and become more self-directed in obtaining knowledge and managing their time. The college-based assessments are moderated by a panel of the SACE Board of South Australia for quality assurance. BEYOND CLASSROOM LEARNING Learning also takes place outside the classroom as students are encouraged to embark on adventure trips, excursions and participate in activities that bring a positive impact on the community. Community service and environmental awareness are the focus of these activities.

WHERE LEARNERS ARE LEADERS

Jog For Hope 2012
The Jog For Hope, an annual signature event of Taylors College Sri Hartamas (TCSH) is one of the many events that truly showcases the dedication of the students at TCSH. Initiated in 2009, Jog For Hope is a charity jog-athon founded by the Tree Huggers Club aimed at raising funds for charitable organisations whilst promoting community service and a healthy lifestyle among students, staff and the surrounding community.

At Taylors College Sri Hartamas, our motivation has always been about building student capabilities; encouraging them to discover themselves and realise their fullest potentials. Student-initiated and student-driven projects are the norm and highly encouraged among our students. With wide exposure and hands-on experience, our learners are given the opportunity to develop themselves and explore their capabilities, in turn making them great leaders.

In 2012, the funds raised from Jog For Hope surpassed the initial target of RM7,000 by more than three times with a final total amount of RM29,000, awarded to SPICES (Support for Parents, Infants and Children through Early Services), a non-profit organisation that aids children with development or learning disabilities.

The experience was truly a fruitful one. I have learnt the values of competency, teamwork, communication and trust while organising this event.

Give a Hand Donate to Japan

Led by Adrian Yong (President of the Christian Fellowship) and Chew Jia Jiet (President of the LEO Club), Give a Hand Donate to Japan is an initiative by the students of TCSH to respond to the plight of the Japan earthquakes and nuclear disasters in 2011. In just 2 weeks, they managed to raise a total of RM10,000 in cash and donations in kind through a myriad of activities including selling origami cranes, food sales and a one-day carnival.

Through this event, I felt as if I have grown much more in terms of leadership, confidence and friendships. If given another chance, I would definitely do this all over again.

Building Sustainable Communities in Cambodia

The Building Sustainable Communities project was a field trip organised by the IB students to Lech Wat Village, Cambodia. Part of the mission for this trip was to volunteer at UNACAS (Unaccompanied Association), an orphanage housing almost 100 children. During the trip, they helped in restoration of the orphanage by laying bricks and re-painting of beds among others and also performed a theatre performance for the children.
Chang Shun
Project Manager, Building Sustainable Communities

I have learnt a lot from this project and it has helped me develop skills such as people management and marketing among others. I was also exposed to proposals, sponsorships and much more while organising this project. Most importantly, I have gained more self-confidence and willpower.

Project Adopt A Humanitarian Effort

Project Adopt is another project initiated by the IB students. Started in early 2012, it is a long-term project that seeks to help and raise funds for a local orphanage (Sinthamani Divine Life Asham) a home to a number of orphans and single mothers. The long-term goal of this project is to ensure that the orphanage will be self-sustainable and at the same time, to provide the children with skills that will allow a change in their lives. From regular tutoring classes and fund-raising activities throughout the year, these students have selflessly contributed a part of their lives in making another persons life a better one.
Phoebe Koh
Project Manager, Project Adopt

I have learnt that there is more to organising a project and that it takes a lot of patience and skills to nurture. Gaining the childrens trust and teaching them something new was the biggest accomplishment ever.

The Taylors Placement Centre is key to ensuring students receive the right information about universities. This includes the timing of applications and familiarity with the nuances of the application system to ensure a smooth application process. Many students from Taylors College have come to study at The University of Sheffield. Many of them have been successful in obtaining not only their first degree; some have been able to secure places for a PhD. I think it goes without saying that students are given a good foundation to continue onto university.
