Karimah Tan Abdullah WWW.MYPINTAR.COM.MY ISSUE 1/2016 > 3 > PINTAR VOICES 1/2016 PINTAR CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE The year 2016 has started rather well for PINTAR Foundation. An additional 14 new schools have been adopted by five PINTAR Members this quarter, proof of the continual commitment from our members towards the PINTAR Programme and their belief that the Programme can contribute significantly towards developing the nation’s human capital. 4 As always, the Foundation strives to remain aligned to the Ministry of Education’s aspirations when advocating programmes to our members. This year, PINTAR members and the Foundation alike will be increasing their efforts to implement Highly Immersive Programme (HIP) in English that would help students step up the usage of the language and thus contribute to their proficiency in it. We are confident that the programmes and activities planned and implemented by our members and partners in their PINTAR schools will help increase the students’ exposure to the English Language, thus creating an immersive (English) environment. This will, in the longer term, help prepare them for the new format of the Primary School Assessment Test (UPSR) 2016 announced by the Examination Board of the MOE recently, where the English Language paper, specifically, would be split into two papers – comprehension and writing – to help students improve their proficiency in the language. Despite the good start for PINTAR, some members are facing many challenges, largely due to the economic environment and the plummeting price of oil. In this scenario, extracting value out of what we do is imperative. For the Foundation, the clarion call is to provide more useful services and value to our members so that the PINTAR Programme can make a positive impact and yield the desired outcomes for our beneficiaries. Our small team at PINTAR Foundation is tasked with carrying out numerous projects across the country with limited resources, but I believe that with your support and cooperation, we can do it. I am optimistic that the PINTAR Programme will continue to bring positive changes to the lives of underperforming students and create better impact in future. I hope in the upcoming months, we can see a lot of positive changes happen to these PINTAR schools and more members coming on board to adopt the PINTAR Programme as their solid corporate responsibility (CR) platform.

At the Roundtable, PINTAR shared with its members and partners on the Members’ Year-end Report 2015 including the Performance of PINTAR schools in the UPSR & PT3 examinations, and the latest updates on PINTAR programmes and activities. In the sharing sessions, participants learned more about the Highly Immersive Programme (HIP) from PEMANDU (Performance Management and Delivery Unit) Associate Director, Ms Tan Mei Ling, from the Prime Minister’s Department. She talked about the whole school approach towards HIP, which is aligned with the Malaysia Education Blueprint, and how the HIP aims to codify best practices of school leaders and scale up to all school via sharing, learning and support. She also shared a few examples of collaboration with external parties such as the private sector, and how they help support activities, namely in-class, out-of-class, extra classes and outreach programmes, that would contribute highly to the effectiveness and sustainability of HIP and create a highly immersive environment in schools. The session was followed by a presentation by one of PINTAR’s pioneer members, UEM Sunrise Berhad, who shared their corporate responsibility (CR) approach towards managing its 21 PINTAR schools. Its Head of Corporate Communication, Puan Nik Surina Nik Abdullah, and her team presented on their CR activities and programmes, particularly their back-toschool support programme, road safety awareness programme, academic excellence programme and High Achievers’ Award. Organised biannually, the Roundtable allows PINTAR members and partners to network, exchange ideas and experience, and discuss on issues that would lead to better programmes for PINTAR schools and influence student outcomes. WWW.MYPINTAR.COM.MY ISSUE 1/2016 > 7 > PINTAR VOICES 1/2016 STAKEHOLDER RELATIONSHIP NEWS ENGAGING TOWARDS BETTER OUTCOMES The success of PINTAR Programme lies in the effective collaboration of various stakeholders. By working closely and addressing the needs and concerns of each stakeholder, we at PINTAR Foundation ensure our PINTAR students and schools will ultimately gain the best out of the Programme. MEETING WITH STATE JPN AND MOE As part of PINTAR’s ongoing effort to engage with the stakeholders, the PINTAR team has met up with officials from the Perak State Education Department (JPN) in February, and JPN Selangor and JPN Sarawak in March. 8 The visit to the JPNs is a platform for the Foundation to update the respective JPNs on PINTAR programmes, as well to discuss issues relating to PINTAR schools, including issues on school adoption, and schools’ or teachers’ involvement in programmes. The meetings are also aimed to improve the communication between the Foundation and the JPN officers. The PINTAR team also made an appointment to meet with officials of the School Management Division (BPSH) of the Ministry of Education (MOE) to report on the progress of all PINTAR schools. The team, led by PINTAR Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Puan Karimah Tan, also presented the impact of the PINTAR programme pertaining to the academic achievements, specifically for the UPSR and PT3 2015 examinations, and the LINUS achievement which has increased significantly in 2015 compared to the previous year for the same cohort of students.

The programme modules aimed to develop the student’s own strength and potential to communicate effectively; demonstrate their oral skills in public speaking; build their confidence to express their views and ideas; recognise their own communication strengths through profiling and use various avenues of communication. In addition, the students underwent a career aptitude assessment and had a better understanding of career planning and decision making. The DJ100 Batch 1 – comprising 30 PINTAR secondary students from schools within the states of Selangor and Negeri Sembilan, namely, SMK Munshi Abdullah, SMK Gombak Setia, SMK Pulau Indah, SMK Juasseh and SMR Agama Repah – is expected to graduate from the programme in April 2016.

In this quarter, the students attended a three-day Smart Learning Camp, which was held at the Harvard Suasana Hotel in Kedah from 12-15 March. The programme’s core objectives were for the students to develop more efficient study techniques, improve their reading and writing skills especially in English, and improve their self-confidence level in certain subjects. The students were taught how to identify their preferred learning styles, manage time, and use thinking maps which are graphic organisers that support specific thinking skills and allow them to organise information for better learning. The DJ100 Batch 2 involved students from SMK Ayer Hangat and SMK Agama Baling in Kedah; SMK Sungai Acheh and SMK Hutchings in Penang, and SMK Chenderiang in Perak.

The participating PINTAR schools are SMK Ampang Pecah and SMK Munshi Abdullah in Selangor; SMK Kota Kuala Muda and SMK Ayer Hangat in Kedah; SMK Kompleks Sultan Abu Bakar and SMK Seri Kota Paloh in Johor; SMK Sg Ara in Penang, and SM Sultan Hj Ahmad Shah in Pahang. 12 Prior to embarking on the actual task of developing a vision of a city in 2050 in this final phase, the competitors had, since November 2015, attended several sessions conducted by experienced professionals from the construction related industry, and were coached on how to create a sustainable city for the year 2050. The Arena of Youth challenge for secondary schools is to develop a city of the future in the MY2050 competition where schools will compete for prizes which will be awarded by a panel of judges during the finale. The MY2050 Competition is a constructionrelated youth empowerment competition aimed at cultivating the next generation of builders, specifically for Malaysian youths aged between 15-17 years old. The selection of this particular age group is vital, considering their thoughts and ideas on planning the cities of 2050 are essential considerations as they are the ones who will inherit the Malaysian cities they help to conceptualise. The finale is scheduled to be held from 12-13 April at the Kompleks Kerja Raya in Kuala Lumpur where the teams from PINTAR schools and international schools will present the model of their futuristic cities to the panel of judges who will review all entries received and select a winner. Let’s pray that one of our eight PINTAR schools will become the winner for the MY2050 competition and best of luck to our participating PINTAR students! > WWW.MYPINTAR.COM.MY ISSUE 1/2016 PINTAR VOICES ISSUE 1/2016 Due to the huge success of last year’s AFLATEEN programme, the Foundation continues with Batch 2 for selected PINTAR schools around Malaysia.

This project addresses PINTAR Core Module 3: Capacity & Capability Building for School Leaders and Teachers, and will include not just the development of modules for teachers, but also train the trainer (TOT) workshop, Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) process as well as Impact Assessment tool. Developed in line with the MOE’s requirement for 21st century learning in schools, the trainings conducted were to improve problem solving and critical thinking among PINTAR teachers & students; collaborative learning among students in the classroom; metacognition (awareness of own learning and thinking next steps) through self and peer assessment, and enhance communication, behaviour and social skills among students. A pilot run for the PCT Module on 21st Century Learning was conducted at SK Batu 38 earlier this year. It is expected that PINTAR Members will adopt these PCT modules for their schools once the pilot has been successfully completed. > WWW.MYPINTAR.COM.MY ISSUE 1/2016 PINTAR VOICES ISSUE 1/2016 1st QUARTER > MEMBERS’ ACTIVITIES ORDINARY MEMBER BOUSTEAD HOLDINGS BERHAD FOUR NEW PINTAR SCHOOLS ADOPTED Boustead Holdings Berhad (Boustead) has adopted four more PINTAR schools, making it a total of eight PINTAR schools being incepted under its corporate responsibility (CR) activities and is part of Boustead’s continuous support of the community.
