Many other events as well have allowed our students to compete without the travel, such as the FOBISIA Short Story Competition and the DT Challenge. These online events started off very well and will no doubt continue to grow from strength to strength. The calendar for CPD next academic year has been finalised and promises to provide another year of excellent opportunities for our staff. The CPD Executive have worked very hard to ensure that JAWS and CPD Conferences have been set in place before most schools had finished for the summer. The Executive have utilised technology too by holding regular meetings via Skype. The Committee members at the time were based from Beijing to Brunei and Skype Group Chat has been highly beneficial. What’s new next year? Once again, with the utilisation of technology we have additional competitions starting where the students will not have to travel and can enter online. Kellett School in Hong Kong will host the inaugural MFL Competition, Bangkok Patana School will be hosting the inaugural Digital Coding Competition and the British International School Ho Chi Minh City will host the inaugural IB Enterprise Challenge. We look forward to seeing these new initiatives that will give more of our students the opportunity to be involved in FOBISIA events. From the FOBISIA office we look forward to launching in the new academic year the re-vamped FOBISIA website. The website is through Finalsite, a company renowned for building school websites. It promises to bring the look and usability that is now common place amongst most of our membership’s school websites. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all staff within FOBISIA schools, their time and dedication to supporting events that enrich our students’ education. I would also like to say a big thank you to Gurmeet Kaur (FOBISIA Administrator) for her commitment to supporting us all. A fond farewell and thank you too to Julia Cope (FOBISIA CPD Coordinator) who’s family will start a new adventure in Seoul. Enjoy your holiday wherever you may go, and see you back in Asia for the new academic year. Best wishes, Tania Donoghue CPD Executive Meeting via Skype.

Page 2 THE FOBISIAN F O B I S I A M U N 2 0 14 22—24 January 2014, Hosted by Jerudong International School, Brunei “Goodbye Delegates” by Megan Domas, Secretary-General of FOBISIA MUN 2014. It is amazing to think that the time has flown by so quickly and that the conference is drawing to such a rapid but grand close. After so many months of preparation, the hours have just sped by filled with heated debate, excellent discussions, occasional insults and a lot, a lot of laughs. As part of the organizing team, I can confirm that there is only so much one can do to prepare for a conference. Ultimately, the biggest role in the success of a conference is the delegates, who act as both participants and judges. I was duly impressed and astounded by the quality of debate in all the committees, a product of exceptional research and passionate eagerness. I have to also commend the excellent work and dedication of each of the President and Deputy President Chairs in controlling the flow of debate with the right amount of professionalism and humour to make the committee rooms lively, entertaining and full of amusing surprises. As an observer, I was quickly caught up with the debate and it was a constant struggle to remember to fill out my duties instead of being distracted by the intense discussions. Above all, I would like to express my wonder and gratification to all those numerous delegates who managed to step out of their comfort zone and in the process achieved more than they expected. The only disappointment that I have is that the conference occurred so quickly; looking back, the only change I would make to the organization of this conference would be to make the whole event much longer. Thank you once again to everybody, those who helped me in the running of the conference, the Directors, the student officers, the delegates, the admin staff, social staff, media staff and everybody else who have made this FOBISIA MUN 2014 conference an unforgettable experience. I am honoured to have served as your Secretary-General and I hope that I will meet all of you again one day in the future. Page 3 THE FOBISIAN DATO PADUKA TIMOTHY ONG: BHAG The esteemed and respected Y. Bhg. Dato Paduka Timothy Ong, founder and convener of the ASEAN 100 th Leadership Forum as well and acting chairman of the Brunei Economic Development Board, delivered a motivating and inspiring speech to the delegates offering valuable advice. He placed particular emphasis on the idea of having a ‘Big Hairy Audacious Goal’ (BHAG) and how it can be used to our advantage in affecting the future. As the weather throughout the morning seemed infinitely dreary and dull, it proved to be refreshing advice for the audience as his thought-provoking speech lifted the delegates’ mood amidst incessant rain and grey clouds. Mr. Ong regards the MUN as a highly beneficial programme for young students and described it as being “an excellent opportunity that allows you to ask bigger questions on topics like poverty”; ar- guably the most important global issue today. He also believes that “it allows you to think imaginatively about the future” which in- spires our delegates to develop ambitions or even BHAG’s that work towards resolving global matters. When asked about skills gained by taking part in MUN, he argued that “your ability to communicate clearly” and “speak on your feet” are the most important skills to obtain during the conference and utilise throughout your life. Delegates may also agree that it is the most challenging aspect of MUN.

Although our projects were doing well, our funding failed to keep up. It was a challenge, and caused us to rethink our approach in order for us to be more sustainable. Our first and our largest project, Science Fair for Young Children saw its biggest challenge ever in terms of funding, resulting in postponements of the dates for the final national event by 3 times. However, we are rich in friends and supporters. We are indeed thankful to all our stakeholders without whom we would have never succeeded; which includes our vendors (one of whom, upon finding out our funding issues, printed more than 30,000 books for free to be given out as gifts for School Level Science Fair), our sponsors and friends, our volunteers - both young and old, and finally our committees and staffs who have worked tirelessly to make all that we do more meaningful.
