Straits International Rawang Secondary

Secondary

Our Secondary School has an ambitious learning environment and continues to champion academic excellence and high behavioural expectations.

In Years 7 to 9, students pursue a range of subjects in which they will improve their academic, creative, social, interpersonal and sporting skills. In each subject, courses are structured to ensure increasing, progressive challenge in preparation for IGCSE courses in Years 10 and 11.

In all subjects, learning frameworks within each unit of work provide sequential assessment activities. After completion of tasks, students are provided with regular and precise formative guidance so that they know how to improve in preparation for subsequent tasks. 

At each stage of assessment, students are provided with tasks that will ensure that they reflect upon their work and engage with targets set. Long-term planning within each year and throughout Key Stage 3, allows skills to be revisited, strengthened and developed further.
