1 | UWCSEA Community Report 2023/2024

On behalf of the Board of Governors, I am pleased to present

the UWCSEA 2023/2024 Community Report, which provides

an overview and reflection of the College’s achievements over

the last school year and tells the story of our community,

united in purpose and committed to our mission.

2023/2024 marked the first full year of our UWCSEA Strategy

to 2030 which was developed with community input in the

prior year. Our strategy reiterates our commitment to our

educational programme through focusing on exceptional

people and teams, immersive learning for our students, a

sense of belonging for all in our community, and harnessing

our innate sense of curiosity and exploration to continue to

innovate in education and deliver our mission.

During the year we continued to progress Dover Campus

planning with Singapore Government agencies. As a result, we

were able to announce, in November 2024, our planned move

for the Dover community to Tengah in 2032. A key element

of campus planning during the 2023/2024 academic year was

the 21 Campus Design Labs that drew experts from across

both our campuses to plan for the continued evolution of our

educational programme. The learnings and insights from these

labs will apply to both East and Dover campuses, as well as the

new planned campus in Tengah.

Our College provides a world-class education to our students

through the dedication of our professional staff and leadership.

In addition, our parent community, our staff, and our Governors

and Board Advisors volunteer countless hours in support of our

College’s Mission and values. This spirit of volunteering and

commitment to our College is part of what makes UWCSEA

and our community special.

Thank you to all our College community volunteers who enrich

the lives of our students, help create a sense of belonging for all

in our community, and help to further embed us in Singapore,

our home. Thank you to our Governors and Board Advisors who

work with College leadership to ensure the College operates at

the highest standards of governance. Thank you to all our staff

who teach, nurture, grow and support our students in so many

different ways. And thank you to our students for aspiring to

embody and enact our UWCSEA values and in whose service

we all stand.

Sincerely,

Sulian Tay

BOARD OF GOVERNORS

MESSAGE FROM

2 | UWCSEA Community Report 2023/2024

Welcome to the Community Report for the 2023/2024

school year. Each year the Community Report tells a story

of community success and achievement, and last year was

no exception.

Our eyes are always on our students and our mission, and in

what follows these remain uppermost in our focus in ways that

are hard to capture without seeing the laughter and richness

of school life in the College each day. We are continuing to

provide a world-class education in the context of an ever-more

urgent mission to make education a force to unite people,

nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future. We

seek to preserve the best of the old, of what we have learnt

over the last 50+ years, while thinking proactively about long-

term changing needs, being open to short term opportunities,

and remaining sensitive to immediate individual needs.

In terms of learning, we know that with the intersection

of technological change, social change, political change

and climate change, the future world of work will be

vastly different from now, and complex challenges such as

the climate crisis require bold and innovative changes in

education. So we have been delighted to partner with the IB

as they review and innovate the IB Diploma Programme for

the future, and to develop a pilot IB Systems Transformation:

Leadership for Change course where students will learn how

to navigate these complex systemic challenges effectively,

and how to leverage transdisciplinary expertise to generate

innovative and empathetic solutions. Preparation for the

course was finalised in 2023/2024 so the first cohort of Grade

11 students could begin in August 2024. Perhaps the most

exciting aspect of this mission-aligned development is that it

has the potential for a global reach, so we can influence far

beyond our Singapore context.

Another initiative in the 2023/2024 school year has been to

further develop our Internships Programme. We have started

with over 80 internship posts from 26 companies such as

Bayer, HBO, Singapore Airlines, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan,

Shopee, PWC. These are now forming part of a significant

Career Programme for our students, which will further

differentiate us from other international schools in Singapore.

A very significant process in the year in review has been the

time working with the Singapore authorities to determine

the future of our Dover Campus, whose lease expires in

2030. We’ve been grateful to be recognised as partners and

engage in deep discussions about possibilities for the future.

Writing this reflection in December 2024, we now know

that this work resulted in the offer of a spectacular new site

in the new eco-town of Tengah, near the Jurong Innovation

District—and in the 2023/2024 academic year we laid the

groundwork for this decision through engagement with the

Urban Redevelopment Authority, the Economic Development

Board, NParks, the Land Transport Authority, the Building

Construction Authority, the Ministry of Education and

several commercial providers to scope possibilities for the

coming decades of transformative education. We fully

intend to implement all the learning we have from our

recent sustainability awards (Platinum Super Low Energy

re-accreditation for both Campuses) not just for us, but to

influence the Singapore building landscape. All this adds up to

an extraordinarily exciting opportunity, which will be a focus

for the next decade, and we look forward to sharing more

details as they emerge.

Our connections with Singapore have also broadened and

deepened, with Singaporean public figures such as Janedas

Devan and Corinna Lim speaking at the College, with students

attending community events through the Ministry of Culture,

Community and Youth (MCCY), and also representation of

the Advisory Council for Community Relations in Defence. We

were also delighted to be presented four Governance awards

at the Charity Transparency Award 2023 by MCCY Minister,

Edwin Tong.

I've picked out a few things here, and there are many others

listed in this report, but none of these really capture the

energy and sheer joy that you will see on campus, as our

students engage in meaningful and authentic learning,

equipping them for lives that will leave a lasting contribution

to making the world a more sustainable, more peaceful place.

We are grateful for your ongoing support.

UWCSEA

GUIDING STATEMENTS

UWCSEA Guiding Statements

Because UWCSEA is driven by its Mission, Values and Educational Goal, we create an environment that is underpinned by

Wellbeing and Learning Principles, and provide a holistic Learning Programme that develops the Qualities, Skills and Mission

Competencies that enable students to live the Mission throughout their lives.

6 | UWCSEA Community Report 2023/2024

UWCSEA WELLBEING PRINCIPLES

Our culture of care creates a shared commitment to cultivate

wellbeing for all members of our community. While we know

that feelings of wellbeing are personal and vary between

individuals, the College is responsible for providing the

conditions for community wellbeing to flourish. This includes

opportunities to feel connected, autonomous, and competent—

for students, staff and parents alike—as described here:

Connected: we feel connected when we feel known, heard

and cared for by others

Autonomous: we want to feel we can self-regulate our

actions, where possible, and make our own meaning of events

Competent: a sense of competence arises when we feel

effective and that we can continually develop craftsmanship

around our work

UWCSEA LEARNING PRINCIPLES

Our Learning Principles are based on the understanding that

learning is a life-long process in which the learner engages

with and reflects upon information and experiences to

construct new or modify existing understanding as well as

develop and apply Qualities and Skills.

We know that learning is effective when learners:

• feel secure and supported: therefore, learners need a

positive and respectful learning environment in which it is

safe to succeed or to make mistakes and try again

• understand the purpose of the learning: therefore, goals

should be explicit

• construct new understanding by building upon prior

knowledge: therefore, it is important that new learning is

connected to what the learner has previously experienced

or understood

• listen, talk and interact with others: therefore, learners

must have a range of opportunities to engage with others in

a variety of situations

• construct meaning by making connections between

knowledge: therefore, learning experiences need to be

organised around core concepts

• are appropriately challenged: therefore, learning

opportunities should align with the developmental stage

and individual needs of learners

• use timely and goal directed feedback: therefore, ongoing

assessment should be regular and structured in a manner

that allows for specific feedback to guide the learner in

constructing meaning

• have time for meaningful and deliberate practice:

therefore, learners need well considered opportunities to

develop and improve skills and understanding

• have ownership of their learning: therefore, learners need

opportunities for self-directed learning

• think and act upon their learning: therefore, learners need

opportunities to develop strategies to plan, monitor, reflect

and make adjustments to learning as needed

UWCSEA LEARNING PROGRAMME

Our Learning Programme consists of five interlinking

elements: Academics, Activities, Outdoor Education,

Personal and Social Education and Service. Delivered

through a carefully crafted K–12 concept-based curriculum,

the elements are combined to provide our students with a

holistic education that develops them as individuals and as

members of a global society.

UWCSEA PROFILE

Students are given multiple, age-appropriate opportunities to

develop the following Qualities and Skills we have identified

as required to help to fulfil our mission:

Qualities

Commitment to care

Principled

Resilience

Self awareness

Skills

Critical thinker

Creative

Collaborative

Communicator

Self manager

UWCSEA MISSION COMPETENCIES

Ultimately, we hope that when they leave the College our

students will be equipped with these competencies so that

they are able to enact our shared mission to unite people,

nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future

throughout their lives:

• Essential Literacies

• Interpersonal and Intercultural Understanding

• Peacebuilding

• Sustainable Development

UWCSEA

GOVERNANCE AND LEADERSHIP

OVERVIEW

UWCSEA is committed to the highest standards of corporate governance and benefits from a highly experienced Board of

Governors. The Board are committed to effective governance in support of the College's Mission and Values, and to ensure the

long -term sustainability of the College and the UWCSEA Foundation. The role of the Board is to set direction, establish policies,

ensure accountability, and provide leadership to support the learning environment for students at the College. The Board draws

a clear line between governance and management and operates at a strategic level. It does not involve itself in the day-to-day

running of the College.

The Board normally meets formally four times a year. Between meetings, Board Members are expected to serve on at least one

of the six standing Board Committees.

UWCSEA BOARD OF GOVERNORS

UWCSEA Governors serve as Board members of the College (both campuses) as well as of the UWCSEA Foundation. All members

serve on a voluntary basis.

Size, committees and meetings

The Board has six constituted committees:

• Audit and Risk: which oversees audit and risk matters

• Committee of Chairs: which functions as a management committee attended by the Board and Committee Chairs

• Education and Talent: which sets and oversees education and talent management strategies

• Engagement and Foundation: which oversees College engagement with alumni, parents and the community broadly,

fundraising strategies and the UWCSEA Foundation

• Finance and Infrastructure: which oversees the College’s finances and its physical and digital infrastructure

• Governance: which is responsible for Board nominations and governance matters

There are also Board approved ad-hoc working groups set up to address specific issues; each with its own Terms of Reference and

scope of works. These ad-hoc working groups either report to a committee or to the Board directly. In 2023/2024 the Campus

Planning Working Group was dissolved and in its place, the Campus Planning Steering Committee was established to oversee all

aspects of the Tenagh Campus development project.

Governors periodically re-evaluate the committee structure to ensure it is effective, strategic and forward-looking.

Board effectiveness review

A Philosophy of Governance Statement, Board Charter and Code of Conduct have been duly implemented. There are Terms

of Reference for all Committees. This work underpins the strong foundations of governance that support the strategic work of

the Board.

These principles support the Board to govern with confidence, charting a path of continuous improvement for the College,

managing risk effectively and taking thoughtful and reasoned action based on evidence and shared expertise.

Composition

The Board consists of three groups of Governors:

• Board Elected Governors and Members – The majority of Governors are appointed by the Board itself through a rigorous

selection process. Many Board Elected Governors are parents of current students of the College. To ensure the Board benefits

from independent thinking, there may also be non-parent Governors

• Ex Officio Governor and Member – the Head of College

• Community Elected Governors and Members – These Governors and Members are elected directly by their constituencies

and include two parent-elects and two academic staff-elects, one from each campus. The Board is also supported by a group of

Board Advisors.

Governor recruitment, selection and induction

Board Elected Governors are recruited through a robust process that responds to clearly defined skill requirements necessary for

the Board. Most candidates are first appointed as Advisors to Board Committees.

There is a comprehensive and thorough induction programme for all Advisors and Governors.

Term limits and reviews

Governors serve a maximum of two consecutive, three-year terms. Only the Board Chair may serve up to one additional year of

service, should they be appointed as Chair during their tenure.

The College and the Board holds the Governors and Advisors to a high standard. At the end of each of their terms, Governors and

Advisors complete a self evaluation which is then shared for 360 feedback with fellow Governors, Advisors and members of the

College Leadership Team.

Conflict of interest

The Board has put in place procedures for Board members and staff to declare actual or potential conflicts of interests on a regular

basis. Board members abstain and do not participate in decision-making on matters where they have a conflict of interest.

Whistle Blowing Policy

The College has a Whistle Blowing policy through which members of the UWCSEA community may, in confidence, raise concerns

about possible wrong-doing or improprieties in financial or other matters within the organisation. The Board thoroughly and

appropriately investigates matters brought to its attention through the policy and takes appropriate follow-up action.

Policies on corporate and individual behaviour

The Board adheres to the College’s policies on corporate and individual behaviour, including the Code of Conduct, responsibilities

set out in the Board Charter and Confidentiality Agreements.

Regulatory compliance

UWCSEA is also committed to regulatory compliance and reporting requirements determined by our structure and location in

Singapore, including stipulations set out by ACRA, the Commissioner of Charities and the Committee for Private Education.

UWCSEA’s Governance Evaluation Checklist Financial Statements and Annual Reports can be found via the Charity Portal website.

UWCSEA STRATEGY 2023–2030

During the 2023/2024 year, the College and campuses embarked on the first year of the new College strategy for 2023–2030

and beyond. The strategic framework is to guide the College’s development over the next ten years. It aims to ensure that

our students continue to receive a world-class education, supported by exceptional teachers, staff, and a diverse, inclusive

community where everyone feels a sense of belonging. The strategy is deeply aligned with our UWC Mission and Guiding

Statements, which emphasises the role of education in contributing to a peaceful and sustainable future for all.

Our strategy is shaped by contemporary insights into the future of learning, schools, work, and technology, ensuring that

UWCSEA remains at the forefront of educational excellence and innovation. It builds on the strong foundation of the existing

academic model while preparing for emerging global challenges and opportunities in education.

At its core, our strategy is driven by four Strategic Commitments, which will shape annual priorities and ensure a whole-College

approach to growth and development. These commitments reinforce the institution’s dedication to:

• providing high-quality education that equips students with the skills and knowledge needed for a rapidly changing world

• supporting educators and staff in delivering outstanding learning experiences

• fostering an inclusive and diverse environment where all individuals thrive

• promoting sustainability and global unity by using education as a tool to bring together people, nations, and cultures

This development will take place with a firm commitment to maintaining academic excellence, while also exploring new

possibilities that contribute to a more peaceful and sustainable future.
