Sunway Recognises Teachers’ Contributions

“Teaching is more than just a job or a profession, it is a calling. And I would say it is a very noble calling indeed. You are moulding the future of our nation, scientists, accountants, psychologists, doctors, lawyers, teachers and leaders, the list is endless. You bear great responsibility over our nation’s most precious asset and treasure, our youths”, said Dr Elizabeth Lee, Senioir Executive Director of Sunway University and the Sunway Education Group in addressing the academic staff of Sunway College and Sunway University at the recent Teaching Appreciation Day. Themed “Our Passion. The Future”, four awards were given out during the event, honouring teachers for their dedication and contributions towards the institutions.

The first award handed out was the Award for Excellence in Teaching (AET) to Santhi Suppiah from the Australian Matriculation (AUSMAT) programme, Sunway College. Santhi who has been with Sunway College for 17 years, teaches mainly in AUSMAT and but does special teaching assignment for other programmes such as the Foundation in Arts (FIA), Monash University Foundation Year (MUFY) of Sunway College and the Psychology Department of Sunway University.

Electrifying performances to celebrate AUSMAT teachers

Three weeks of brainstorming, hard work and commitment from the Australian Matriculation Programme (AUSMAT) Student Council turned out to be a worthy investment as the annual Teacher’s Day Celebration turned out to be a huge success. The Student Council together with seven teachers were on board throughout the process of integrating two events; a Teacher’s Day celebration and the annual Talent Time Competition to make the AUSMAT’s Teacher’s Day celebration in keeping with Sunway’s 25 Silver Jubilee celebrations.
