The first TIS PA Committee 2015/16 meeting took place on Thursday 1st October, 2015. Elizabeth Wong presented the annual report for TIS PA Committee 2014/15 to the new team, and thanked the previous team for their wonderful and dedicated support throughout the year.
Tenby International School commenced its new academic year on 1st September, 2015. We are currently into our second week and school is in full swing. Things are certainly off to a heady start! Last week, the "Meet & Greet" took place for Years 1 to 7 parents.
Please mark the following event dates in your calendar so you do not miss out!
Slideshow to recap the celebration before the end of academic year 2014/15. The lovely Peace song in the video was sang by the Year 4 students on Friday afternoon during the 'Sharing of Learning'.

Parents from all sections of the school body, teachers from TIS and SST, representatives from different departments and all levels of the school body: all together as one, under one roof, for the same single purpose.
The photos are testament to an incredible evening. The ballroom was overflowing with beautiful people. The atmosphere was carefree and bright. The music was simply superb coming from David Spencer and Jazzmine’s Aria (a huge hand for David, Shen, Eugene, Charlotte and our very own TIS Campus Principal, Andrew Auster who between them bewitched and impressed all of us with their talent on the keyboard, trombone, saxophone and vocals); and later from The Fugitives, our live band (thank you DBT, Gavin, Stuart, Nic and Paul) who made sure none of us sat still for long after dinner. Who knew we could shift our bodies like that on the dance floor?
Seth, Hassan and Peter of TriKnight Creative did a marvelous job with the photo booth in the foyer. We say ‘photo booth’ but in reality, it was more of a professional studio with some serious expertise (and a seriously long queue). Seth, with extraordinary patience and good humour, took excellent photos for guests to take home as mementos. Roving photographer Peter took candid shots throughout the evening and these will be available for order shortly; please check here on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/tenbycharityball) for details on how to order.
Table #27 having a fabulous time at the Photo Booth. Don't they look awesome?
Amidst all this cheer and entertainment was a reminder of what brought us all together for the evening: a simple and beautiful presentation on the charities we support played on the TV screens in the foyer. With simplicity and weight, it showed which charities the students had chosen and why. See it here ...
The evening inside the ballroom began with a bang at 7.30pm. The James Bond theme music struck up; the lights went down; the spotlight searched the room. It stopped. The spotlight shone stock still at the circle of the Bond Tenby With Love backdrop specially constructed for this purpose (thank you Venu of Ace Fame). As the music reached its climatic end, Deputy Head Pastoral, Tom Robinson stepped through the backdrop into the spotlight. Confetti flew. The evening proper had begun.
Tom who was our MC for the evening did a fabulous job entertaining everyone and keeping all guests on their toes, clapping and cheering, throughout the lucky draw, Bond quiz and the auction. One has to wonder where he hides that Duracell battery pack of his.
Tom, our MC for the evening
Person after person came up in a seemingly endless stream to collect their prizes: a handphone, a coffee machine, air tickets to Langkawi and Ho Chi Minh, three hotel stays in Phuket, F&B vouchers, gym membership, a waveboard, balance bike, golf lessons, osteopath sessions, beautiful household items, a bottle of Prosecco, a voucher for handmade shoes…the list went on…

Then came the auction. We raised a whopping RM 21,600 to add onto funds raised for charity:
An amazing RM 7,000 for the butler services of TIS Campus Principal, Andrew Auster and Deputy Head Pastoral Tom Robinson;
RM 1,600 for the party services of Messrs Kenny and Adam;
RM 2,300 for lessons with pro golfer Siew Ai Lim;
RM 600 for a JD Bug scooter; and
An incredible RM 10,000 for the autographed photo of Sean Connery, who many consider the best Bond.
Thank you all who participated! Hope you had as much fun as we did, watching and cheering as the bid climbed and then peaked above and beyond all expectations.
Thank you, The Fugitives

A safe, orderly school makes it possible to achieve excellence in promoting an overall healthy, purposeful and harmonious school environment.
Parents are reminded that part of the Tenby Schools' safety plan requires that all visitors-including parents and school volunteers-wear name tags or school IDs at all times while on the campus.
This procedure assists the school management and security team to identify persons associated with the school, which in turn, contributes to the safety of our own children.
We appreciate all parents' involvement in putting this code of ethics to practice!
