SCHOOL LOGO & CRESTSINGAPOREINTERNATIONALSCHOOLOFBANGKOK | SIXTH FORM SCHOOL

RATIONALE
The enhanced SISB logo is a symbolic representation of the SISB name, which is inspired
by its first campus - Singapore International School of Bangkok, the first Singapore
International School that was established in Thailand in 2001. SISB aspires to bring
education to people of diverse backgrounds and nationalities and strives to be a leading
international school to provide quality and broad-based education to students. The
colour black symbolises strength and solidarity of the SISB workforce. The colour blue
reflects knowledge and integrity, capturing the essence of an international organisation
that is constantly progressing. The two colours unite to signify that SISB is a community
inspired by a global outlook and enriched by cultural diversity.

SISB CREST
The enhanced SISB School Crest is an emblem of the spirit of excellence that the school
upholds. Emblazoned in the Crest are two lions supporting a shield which embodies the
SISB name together with symbols of intellect and knowledge. Below the shield is a
banner inscribed with the school’s motto. The lions represent Singapore and
symbolises strength and integrity. The colour orange associates with energy, creativity
and positivity. Harmonising with the SISB logo colours of black and blue, the emblem’s
colours denotes the core of the School’s spirit of service, perseverance, integrity, respect
& responsibility, independence and teamwork.

POLICY ON CHILD PROTECTION

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children refers to the process of protecting children from
abuse or neglect, preventing the impairment of their health or development, ensuring that children
grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe, effective and nurturing care and
undertaking that role so as to enable those children to have optimum life chances and to enter
adulthood successfully.

Child protection refers to the processes undertaken to meet statutory obligations laid out in the Child
Protection Act 2003 in respect of those children who have been identified as suffering, or being at risk
of suffering harm

Good practice guidelines

To meet and maintain our responsibilities towards children, the school community agrees to the
following standards of good practice:
- treating all children with respect;
- setting a good example by conducting ourselves appropriately;
- involving children in decision-making which affects them;
- encouraging positive and safe behaviour among children;
- being a good listener;
- being alert to changes in child’s behaviour;
- recognising that challenging behaviour may be an indicator of abuse;
- reading and understanding all of the school’s safeguarding and guidance documents on wider
safeguarding issues, for example bullying, physical contact, e-safety plans and information-sharing;
- asking the child’s permission before doing anything for them which is of a physical nature, such as
assisting with dressing, physical support during PE or administering first aid;
- maintaining appropriate standards of conversation and interaction with and between children and
avoiding the use of sexualised or derogatory language;
- being aware that the personal and family circumstances and lifestyles of some children lead to an
increased risk of neglect and or abuse.

Abuse of trust

All school staff are aware that inappropriate behaviour towards children is unacceptable and that their

conduct towards all children must be beyond reproach. In addition, staff should understand that,

under the Child Protection Act 2003, it is an offence for a person over the age of 15 to have a sexual

relationship with a person under the age of 15, where that person is in a position of trust, even if the

relationship is consensual. This means that any sexual activity between a member of the school staff

and a child under 15 will be a criminal offence. Further to this, any contact of a sexual nature with any

student at SISB will result in the termination of the said person’s contract and notification

of the said person to Thai law enforcement authorities. 19

(Partial extraction from SISB Document Child Protection Handbook)

POLICY ON EXAMINATION

EXAM GUIDELINES
The purpose of formal examinations is to give teachers, parents and students themselves information
about their progress, strengths and weaknesses and how well they have been performing academically
in school.
Exams are not the end of a process but part of an on-going journey that is focused on developing
students’ understanding and confidence in the content and skills mastery and are a good indication of
how both teachers and students can close the gap.
Late for exam:
Students who are late are allowed to sit for the paper but with no extra time given.
Missed exam:
Students will still be allowed to sit for the paper but senior management and internal exam committee
will decide the students’ grades with the subject teacher and on a case by case basis.
Cheating in exams:
Students caught cheating will be penalised and given a zero for that particular paper.

POLICY ON ACADEMIC HONESTY

What is Academic Honesty

Academic honesty must be seen as a set of values and skills that promote personal integrity and
good practice in teaching, learning and assessment. It is influenced and shaped by a variety of factors
including peer pressure, culture, parental expectations, role modeling and taught skills.

Academic honesty means:

• not plagiarizing any work
• not practising collusion with anyone

Why is Academic Honesty Important?

• It prevents someone gaining an unfair advantage by using work that is not their own
• It is unethical to practise academic dishonesty.
• On a technical note, the IBO and CIE treat Academic Honesty and Plagiarism very seriously. If any
Academic Dishonesty or Plagiarism is detected, there will be drastic consequences leading to failing
and/or not being able to obtain the Diploma (marks will be reduced if sources of information are
incompletely documented).
• Being Academically Honest reflects upon an individual’s integrity and his/her principles. This would
mean adhering to the IB learner profile where the attribute of being principled is upheld.
• Being Academically Honest has far reaching benefits. We hope to produce graduates who are honest,
trustworthy, respectful of others and responsible for their own actions. Respecting the need for
authentic student work is an important part of this goal.

Concepts that relate to academic honesty include but are
not limited to the following:

• Authenticity of work,
• Intellectual property,
• Proper conduct during testing procedures.

Academic Honesty Policy for daily assignments in school

Before the submission of homework to teachers, students should ensure:
• They do not copy their work from other students
• Acknowledgement is given for help from teachers and other adults
• Acknowledgement is given for the source of direct quotations, using the appropriate referencing
guidelines
• Acknowledgement is given for information taken from books and the Internet

23

Academic Honesty Policy for internal assessments and examinations
Authenticity of Work

According to the IBO, an authentic piece of work is one that is based on the candidate
individual and original ideas with the ideas and work of others fully acknowledged. Therefore all
assignments, written or oral, completed by a candidate for assessment must wholly and authentically
use that candidate’s own language and expression. Where sources are used or referred to, whether
in the form of direct quotation or paraphrase, such sources must be fully and appropriately
acknowledged. Where sources are used or referred to, whether in written or oral assessments,
they must be fully acknowledged.

Students must acknowledge use of the following:

• The work and ideas of other versions of another person’s words
• CD Rom, email messages, Web sites, Chat rooms, Blogs
• Electronic media (news feeds, Podcasts, YouTube, etc.)
• Sources of photographs, maps, illustrations, computer programs, data, graphs, audio-visual
• Direct quotations
• Works of art including: film, dance, music, theatre arts, visual arts

It is important to note that students are expected to produce authentic pieces of assessed work in all
subjects at all times using proper referencing procedures. Another area of concern is the validity of
data, particularly in the sciences. Data must not be fabricated or manipulated falsely to suit a
student’s need.

Intellectual Property

The concept of intellectual property is potentially a difficult one for candidates to understand because
there are many different forms of intellectual property rights, such as patents, registered designs,
trademarks, moral rights and copyright. Candidates must at least be aware that forms of intellectual
and creative expression (for example, works of literature, art or music) must be respected and are
normally protected by national and international law. The staff at SISB School makes every effort to
prevent plagiarism by asking students to respect various forms of intellectual property.

Academic Honesty Contract

We have read the academic honesty policy and have clarified any questions we have about its contents.
We understand what constitutes academic malpractice and what
(Student name)_______________________________________________must do to remain
academically honest and accountable. We understand the consequences of malpractice, the most
serious of which is not being awarded the IB Diploma.
