1. Title of the school’s programme
MAL-THAI INTERNATIONAL CAMP AND CULTURAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM
2. Summary of the programme (a half to one page A4)
The Mal- Thai International Camp and Cultural Exchange Program really captures the essence of
fostering global citizenship for sustainable future as it highlights 3 global areas of education, culture
and citizenship among the participants. Embracing the objective of cultural exchange, participants
from both schools, Kepala Batas Science Secondary School, Malaysia and Wichienmatu School,
Thailand were involved in many riveting , culturally rich activities. There were about 180 students
who involved in this program along with 50 teachers. The students’ committee involved were
mostly from UNESCO Club members, English Language Society members as well as School Youth
Cadets. This one week program was held in the month of May at Kepala Batas Science Secondary
School. What makes this program extraordinary and fruitful was that it was divided into 2 slots: 4
days were spent at the school for the Choral Speaking Workshop and Traditional Dance Workshop
3
whereas the remaining 3 days were spent outdoor at Lembah Bujang, Kedah camp site.
In the first slot, students from Malaysia shared their knowledge on the art of Choral Speaking as
well as Malays traditional dance of Endang and Caklempong, a popular traditional musical
instrument. In return, the Thailand students taught our students the Traditional Thailand dances as
well as donning the unique and colourful Thai’s traditional costumes. In addition, in conjunction of
the Visit Malaysia for the Year 2014, the participants from Wichienmantu School were given the
opportunity to visit interesting and historical places in Penang Island and some parts of Kedah. As
Penang is also known as the UNESCO Heritage Site, the students had fun under the sunshine while
visiting tourist attractions such as Kek Lok Si Pagoda, Penang Hill, Feringghi Beach as well as
savouring the unique local delicacies such as roti canai, pasembor and nasi lemak.
As for the second slot, students had their camping and outdoor activities at Lembah Bujang, Kedah.
This camp was held to expose the students about the importance of bonding and gadgets camping
knowledge as contained in the syllabus and learning in the Cadet Handbook of Youth School. It
taught the students about survival skills as well as cultivating teamwork and unity among
participants of various cultures and backgrounds.
3. Background information or reasons why the school created this programme
Since 2009 until the present day, there are more than 10 programs between Kepala Batas Science
Secondary School and Wichienmathu School, Trang, Thailand. The bond between these two
schools is strengthen by the Memorandum of Understanding(M.U.O) signed in 2010 by the
previous Excellent Principal, Madam Hajjah Jamaah Binti Hj. Taman, P.J.K and was supported by
the City Council of Trang Chairman, Mr Charlie. Through this agreement, the collaboration is not
limited to exchange in terms of extracurricular activities such as cultural exchange and Young Pilot
Program, but also has extended to improving the English standard in both schools especially in
Science and Mathematics subjects. Therefore, this program is designed to further enhancing the
collaboration between both schools under the Internationalization and Networking Initiative of the
High Performance School Program.
4. Objectives/goals of the programme
-Provide a feasible medium for students from both countries to share their unique talents in
traditional dancing and playing the traditional musical instruments.
-Exposing the Wichienmatu students and teachers to Coral Speaking techniques and presentations.
-Exchange ideas between the Language teachers in further developing the students potential in
language usage as well as confidence to display it in vast audience.
-Celebrating the ASEAN Spirit between the two countries as a form of unity although with different
background.

-Promote leadership skills, a sense of responsibility, teamwork and unity through the carried out
activities
5. Core competencies of students (e.g. knowledge and understanding, cognitive skills, non-cognitive
skills and behavioural capacities) that the school aims for within the programme.
There are several core competencies that the school aims for in these programmes namely:
-communication skills
-creative and critical thinking
-community /global awareness and responsibility
-personal, academic and career development
All of these core competencies could be achieved from the above activities:
1) Choral Speaking Workshop
Students learnt the step-by-step process of performing a choral speaking. As in Thailand,
they do not have any exposure on choral speaking thus this workshop was able to steal their
attention and interests. Students started the whole process from scratch where they needed to
compose their own choral speaking text. Then, they must learn the correct pronunciation,
stress, tone, voice projection as well as the physical movements. Everything must be
synchronized in order for them to deliver the best presentation. At the same time, students
eventually were able to improve their English Language mastery and interests as they
practiced together.
2) Cultural Exchange Program
Students from both schools could improve their kinesthetic and psychomotor skills as they
were taught the traditional dances of both countries. In addition, the Malaysian students
shared their knowledge by teaching the Thai’s students on how to play the traditional
instrument, Caklempong. In contrast, we were able to learn about Thai’s musical instrument.
3) Basic Course For Bonding And Gadgets Camp
In this program, it trained the students’ knowledge associated with bonding and camping
crafts. It also measuring the level of relevant skills knowledge given through the
competition that will be participated by them. Students were required to demonstrate their
cognitive skills and applied them in real world situation. At the same time, students needed
to employ their leadership skills and other relevant interpersonal skills to succeed in the
challenges and competitions.

8. Teaching and learning methodologies that the school applies for promoting the core competencies as
identified in number 5
In order to promote the core competencies, several teaching and learning methodologies
are employed underpinning the activities held. The first methodology is learning English Language
in fun and entertaining way namely through Choral Speaking. A choral speaking is defined as a
group of people narrating a poem or a dramatic piece. What makes it more exciting is the group
often using various voice combinations and contrasts to bring out the meaning or tonal beauty of a
passage of poetry or prose. As this activity is rather new to the Thailand’s students, a special
workshop was held conducted by the English teachers. Students were shown relevant videos of
choral speaking performances to trigger their interests. This activity is conducted in small groups
and each group will get their own facilitators among the students. The activity highlights task
oriented, discussion and Socratic methods.
Apart from that, two methodologies are from
difficulty in the course
The second one is playing music from other countries. The Malaysian students learnt how
to play a musical instrument called Khim , hammered dulcimer which was classified as idiophone.
On the other hand, the Thai’s students learnt the mastery of musical instrument named Caklempong,
a small kettle gong which gives its name to an ensemble of four or five caklempong as well as other
gongs and drums. Due to time constraints, constant repetition is essential in learning to play an
instrument. Children do not learn a word or piece of music and then discard it. They add it to their
vocabulary or repertoire, gradually using it in new and more sophisticated ways. As some of the
students have the existing schemata or background knowledge of reading the musical notes, the
learning process became smooth and came in handy. The students participated in regular group
practice and performance at which they learnt from and are motivated by each other.
Lastly, the methodologies for bonding and camping gadgets activities involve task based
learning and cooperative learning. From these activities, students learnt about esprit de corps, the
feeling of loyalty, enthusiasm and devotion to a group among people who are members of the
group. Students involve in hands on activities as they did the bonding and camping gadget
activities. Thus, their survival skills are tested in the activities they are engaged with. Camping is
indeed a fun, affordable and memorable activity for many. It also presents excellent education
opportunities. For examples they learn about nature study and outdoor appreciations, environmental
ethics and dealing with discomforts.

9. Partnership, community participation and international connection (Details of partners, their roles
and activities that they have involved)
The partnership between Kepala Batas Science Secondary School and Wichienmathu School,
Trang, Thailand is rather extraordinary because as the saying goes, “good friends are like stars. You
don’t always see them but you know they’re always there.” Since 2009 until the present day, there
are more than 10 programs between Kepala Batas Science Secondary School and Wichienmathu
School, Trang, Thailand. The bond between these two schools is strengthen by the Memorandum of
Understanding(M.U.O) signed in 2010. Several visits were held between both schools and it
normally involved the whole community participations from parents, students and local community.
Last year, Mal-Thai International Camp was held in Trang therefore marking a significant long
lasting relationship. Thus, this year the camp was again held in Merbok, Kedah. Other engaging
activities apart from camping are Cultural Exchange Program, Educational Visit to Krabi, Festive
celebrations, Traditional Food Festival, Foster Family and many more yet to come.
