From University of Cambridge International Examinations

Message from the Director

Cambridge GCE Advanced-Level Programme

CIE is one of the world’s leading providers of international academic qualifications and is a part of the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES). This renowned body has been developing and promoting its uniquely British system of assessment around the world for almost 150 years.

The GCE A-Level qualification places emphasis on in-depth knowledge, deep understanding, strong reasoning abilities and critical thinking. It is arguably the most widely recognised pre-university qualification in the world, readily accepted as proof of superior academic ability for entry into world-class universities around the world.

CIE is the world’s largest provider of international educational qualifications with more than 1,100 examination centres across the globe. Fifty-odd such centres are currently operating in Malaysia alone. Any centre which proves its worth through a superior delivery system that produces excellent results in the twice-yearly examinations is accorded the status of a Fellowship Centre. Only 4 centres in Malaysia have attained this elite status and Sunway is one of them!

University of Cambridge International Fellowship Centre

The Fellowship Centre status awarded by CIE to our A-Level programme in 2005 is a clear recognition of our excellent delivery system and ensuing top-notch results on a world stage. We have a consistent track record of outstanding academic performance and a string of international awards won by our students.

In the June 2009 CIE Examinations, our overall pass rate was 98.8% with 26% of our students achieving three A-grades or more. In that assessment, our students topped the nation in Accounting, Biology and Law, while in Physics and Psychology, we produced the world’s best! Such sterling performances are nothing new – recipients of CIE Top Student awards have been regularly emerging from within our ranks since 1998. To date, we have made similar forays into Biological Science, Business subjects, Mathematics, General Paper, Chemistry and Economics.

Sunway College has been preparing students since 1994 for the General Certificate of Education (GCE) Advanced-Level qualification through examinations set and assessed by the University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE).

The CIE A-Level curriculum provides a firm bedrock of fundamental knowledge by guaranteeing comprehensive

coverage in the breadth and depth of each subject offered. Students are assessed for their mastery of subject

matter, their application of knowledge and understanding to everyday scenarios and their ability to think critically

in unfamiliar situations. In the Sciences, a fair part of the assessment involves the demonstration of laboratory-

based skills. Coursework and internal examinations serve the sole purpose of preparing students for the final

external assessment which comes direct from CIE.

The programme of A-Level studies at Sunway involves a two-tiered structure of examinations leading to the

award of a certificate. The staged assessment relieves the pressure associated with sitting for one set of final

examination papers. The AS (Advanced Subsidiary) Examination tests fundamental skills while the A2 (Advanced

Level) Examination is a more wide-ranging assessment. Our 1.5-year programme comprises three semesters, each

about six months long, with the AS examinations at the end of Semester 2 and the A2 examinations at the end

of Semester 3.

International A-Level and Advanced Subsidiary Qualifications

Iulia Gherman and Gan Fang Wen were multiple award winners at the Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards by the Cambridge International Examination (CIE). Both were also recipients of the Top in the World for Mathematics AS-Level.

Academic RequirementsA minimum of 5 credits at SPM, O-Level or equivalent qualifications.

Students who intend to take the A-Level science subjects must have at least credits in the same SPM / O-Level pure science subjects; combined science does not provide a sufficient foundation.

Additional Mathematics is required for A-Level Mathematics (unless the student has an A grade in General Mathematics).

A pre-requisite of Biology in SPM / O-Level is not necessary IF the student has distinctions in other SPM / O-Level Science / Mathematics subjects.

Choice of SubjectsThe A-Level subjects offered are:

• Accounting

• Biology

• Chemistry

• Economics

• FurtherMathematics

AssessmentsThe A-Level subject syllabi are divided into the AS Level, which is the first half of the programme and forms the foundations of A-Levels, and the A2 Level, which is the second part of the syllabus and covers more difficult topics, with each level contributing 50% towards the final A-Level grade.

The examination papers at both the AS and A2 Levels are set and marked by examiners from the University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE).

Help and SupportStaff from the A-Level programme and the Student Services Department offer assistance to students in the areas of academic and personal counselling. At the programme level, each student is assigned an academic staff member as mentor.

Mentor-Mentee SystemEach lecturer in our A-Level programme is assigned a number of mentees who become recipients of pastoral care throughout their studies. At the outset, this system fosters the forging of meaningful relationships between lecturers and students, and promotes the close monitoring of students’ overall progress. The system also identifies each mentor as a capable and ready resource person for counsel pertaining to choice of career and placement in appropriate universities. Mentors are responsible for processing all applications made by their mentees, including the writing of references and testimonials. On a broader level, the mentor-mentee system helps guide the overall social, emotional and mental development of the student body.

Parents’ DayParents’ Day is held every semester to enable parents and guardians to meet with lecturers and discuss academic and personal development of each student. This will enable parents / guardians and lecturers to work together to help the student develop his / her full potential.

Progress Reports Progress reports are evaluative reports written by each subject lecturer. These reports are an important means of letting parents know about the student’s progress. The programme regards parental involvement and home support as critical factors in helping students improve. Two reports are sent in the first semester and one after each of the mock examinations.

Extracurricular ActivitiesThere are many extracurricular activities available to all students in the institution under the Student Services Department. Students are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activity as it provides a more wholesome development of the student. It may also enhance a reference or testimonial.

A-Level Student Council (ALSCO)ALSCO is a group of committed, bright and creative young people who are the voice of the A-Level students. Each class is represented by a member of the ALSCO.

Among the events that ALSCO has organised are the A-Level Ball, traditional costume day, Sports Carnival and charity events to raise funds for the less fortunate and needy. Being in the ALSCO teaches members to be more tolerant and understanding of different races, creeds and colour. Members of ALSCO also learn to come out of their comfort zone and achieve their full potential of being leaders. ALSCO members strive to be role models and set good examples for their fellow course mates.

For the selection process, applicants are required to fill up a form about their previous extracurricular activities in secondary school. After that, an existing ALSCO member will interview the applicants personally before the applicants are shortlisted to be interviewed by the Coordinator, the advisor to ALSCO. Committee meetings are held weekly to discuss and plan events or social gatherings. If you are responsible, committed and prepared to be a leader, ALSCO wants you!

Student AttendanceAlthough attendance is not part of the evaluation process in the A-Level programme there is a high correlation between attendance and achievement and it is likely that a student who has a high degree of absenteeism will be doing poorly.

Attendance is a priority and is monitored and recorded diligently. Students who miss five or more classes will be reported to the Director of Programme and parents or guardians will be informed. Persistent absence from class may result in the student being excluded from classes unless approved by the Director of Programme.

Student PunctualityLateness is not only disruptive to others but also adversely affects effective class participation. Chronic lateness will be treated similarly to frequent absences and will be reflected in the student’s final mark. It is within the subject teacher’s prerogative to deny access to class to chronic latecomers and treat the denied access as an absence.

If a student knows he / she will be absent for lessons, he / she must produce a parent’s letter to state the reasons and proposed absenteeism dates in advance of the leave of absence.

Academic CounsellingIf a student is found to be too far behind in the syllabus and unable to catch up due to lack of attitude / aptitude then he / she is to be counselled to drop the subject.

If two or more lecturers agree he / she lacks the ability to cope, after the mid-semester report, he / she will be counselled to change programme as deem appropriate.
