I\u2019ve been at KIS for about 9 years now so I know the school very well. During my time here I have undertaken many roles such as leading the 4Fest event and the Gold Duke of Edinburgh expedition. Both have showed me the skills\u00a0needed to be a leader\u2013 like taking charge, delegating tasks and leading by example. The best thing about this school is the skilled teachers. Not only do they help you with your studies but they also help you with other problems, such as university applications and personal problems. My previous schools never even mentioned these things! This will be my last year at school and my mind is on what I will be doing after my A Level exams. \u00a0With all the help that I am getting here, I feel as though I am more than prepared to make the right choice of university in order to pursue Computer Science, especially since my subject choices of Physics, Chemistry, Applied ICT and Mathematics all contribute to it. I am looking forward to working with the team and contributing as Head Prefect![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Head Prefect: Lois&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1507686969957-56201465-f10e&#8221;][vc_column_text]My name is Lois and I am in Year 13. Currently I am taking 4 A Level subjects: Maths, Physics, Biology and Chemistry and in the future, I hope to have a career that involves Chemistry. Throughout my time at KIS, I have had the opportunity to take on some leadership roles, including Sports Day Planner, 4Fest Organiser,\u00a0 Student Librarian and Prefect. It is a great honour to be chosen as Head Prefect\u00a0 and I hope to enable positive change in the KIS community![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Deputy Prefect: Michelangela&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1507687162703-db59d236-5b49&#8243;][vc_column_text]My name is Michelangela. I&#8217;m a new student here at KIS and am excited to be a part of the Prefect team! \u00a0This is my fifth school and I have just moved here from Bonn, Germany. Being brought up as a third culture kid and international student has allowed me to learn English, Spanish, Italian and French and build an appreciation of different cultures, which makes me excited to explore and learn more about Borneo. \u00a0In previous schools I was a member \u00a0of the Student Council and had other leadership roles; I believe this kind of participation is an effective way to better our school community. I am currently in the first year of completing my A Levels and am taking Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry and Business and hope to study either Chemical Engineering or International Business and Economics at University.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Deputy Prefect: Nishita&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1507687333841-4f72a004-0a37&#8243;][vc_column_text]My name is Nishita, I\u2019m 16 years old and I have been a student at KIS for the past 13 years! It will be a great experience for me to be a Prefect this year. I\u2019ve seen many changes at KIS during my time here but what has endured is the wonderful student spirit and how, despite the diverse range of cultures, there is a strong prevailing culture of unity. \u00a0Previously I have been on the Charity Committee and a member of the Sports Council. I am taking A Levels in Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Mathematics and my ambition is to become a doctor.\u00a0I am excited to be able to contribute to the student community here at KIS.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Congratulations to our Senior Prefects for 2017\/18![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We are pleased to announce that our Head Prefects for this year are Vinay and Lois from Year 13.
