There is a spark and enthusiasm that always makes lessons exciting. I love it when students find their own passion for History and want to find out more.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How would you describe the community at KIS?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>KIS has a really strong sense of community. I have made some good friends since being here and I have seen the way the students look out for each other and celebrate each other\u2019s successes and differences.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>You were recently appointed to the role of Charity Committee mentor. What does this involve? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since becoming the Charity Committee mentor I have helped the students organise and run some fantastic events, including Spook Night with the Student Council which was a huge success. I have got a really motivated group who want to make a difference in their community so it makes my job much easier.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How can parents best support their children in studying for Humanities subjects?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>History is a vital subject; the skills we learn in History can be transferred outside the classroom to a wide range of things. History teaches young people how to reason, ask questions and make judgements for themselves \u2013 not just believing what they read. Parents can support their children in Humanities by encouraging them to pursue it and teaching them the value and importance that it holds as part of their education.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/teacher-tuesday-ms-amy-bater\/amy-bater-1\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12085\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12085\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Amy-Bater-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Amy-Bater-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Amy-Bater-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Amy-Bater-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Amy-Bater-1-255x170.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Amy-Bater-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you could meet a famous person, who would you meet and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I recently read about a woman called Juana In\u00e9s de la Cruz, she was an incredible woman living in Mexico in the 17<sup>th<\/sup> century who fought for her right as a woman to be educated. She said \u201cI don&#8217;t study to know more, but to ignore less.\u201d I think that is really powerful, so I would like to go back in time and meet her!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you enjoy doing in KK when you\u2019re not working?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>KK is such a beautiful and vibrant place! When I\u2019m not working I like to go to the Islands and go to the beach or snorkel in the sea. I had never seen a tropical island before so it is still so exciting to me!
