UCSI International School Kuala Lumpur

We had a lot of fun exploring different costumes and props whilst rehearsing for our upcoming whole school production. Costume play is far more than what a character wears; it is a powerful tool for symbolic thinking, embodiment and characterisation.

Long before a character speaks their first line, their apparel begins telling the audience who they are, helping performers step into role and bringing the story to life.

CCA Highlight – Secondary Dodgeball School Team

The heat is still on following the PRIME Dodgeball NEXTGEN Inter-School Tournament on 25th April 2026!

Our Secondary Dodgeball Team delivered a commendable performance, demonstrating determination, teamwork, and resilience throughout. It was a valuable experience that not only showcased their abilities but also highlighted areas for growth and improvement.

With the momentum still going strong, the team is already back in training — focused, motivated, and preparing for the next tournament in July. Each session is now dedicated to refining skills, building strategies, and striving for an even higher level of achievement.

Over the next two months, consistent effort and commitment will be key, as the coach will be selecting team members based on performance and progress.

The journey continues — stronger, sharper, and more determined than ever.

CCA project led by Ms Vimal. 🎭📱

Students designed digital puppets using Canva, created physical puppets by hand, and recorded their own puppet shows using iPads — combining technology, creativity, and storytelling in meaningful ways.

Through this project, students developed:
🌟 Confidence
🌟 Teamwork & communication skills
🌟 Creativity & self-expression
🌟 Digital storytelling skills

Most importantly, they became creators, innovators, and storytellers in their own learning journey.

“Through EdTech, even young learners can imagine, create, and inspire.” 💡

We are incredibly proud of our boarding student, Yong Ya Qing, for representing the boarding community through an enriching educational and cultural experience in Beijing ✨💃

During the trip, she had the opportunity to gain valuable international exposure and deepen her passion for dance by visiting prestigious institutions such as the Beijing Dance Academy, Tsinghua University, and the National Centre for the Performing Arts.

This meaningful experience not only strengthened her artistic journey, but also allowed her to learn from new environments, cultures, and perspectives. We look forward to seeing her continue to shine and represent our boarding community in future dance competitions and performances 💙

Our Performing Arts exploratorium ‘DramaLab’ presented a half-day workshop with KL Shakespeare Players exploring Meyerhold’s Biomechanics. This built on the work the students had been doing on embodiment and characterisation over the last term.

In the words of a participant, “the biggest takeaway was how breaking the lines down brought out implicit meanings and added depth into the scenes. This will help the audience believe what is happening on stage”. What a pleasure it was to host this dynamic Malaysian theatre group and we look forward to developing this exchange.
