"I always tell parents that boarding is amazingly special because not only do you get to enjoy the friendships you make while you are at school but hopefully, for the rest of your life. The bonds created in boarding can run deep. My best friends from school are now godparents to my children. There are many ways we can help promote these amazing relationships and eating together is one very important way. Wills enjoyed their traditional hot pot night on Tuesday and it was a wonderful occasion where we get to celebrate Asian culture while making memories that will last. "

The third Lectern Club of the year took place recently, hosted by the Master and Mrs Burbury. This cherished Sixth Form tradition continues to provide an intimate forum for high-level rhetoric, fine dining, and intellectual exchange.
The evening’s theme, 'Acta non verba' (Actions, not words), challenged our speakers to explore the weight of integrity, leadership, and the tangible impact of our choices. The speeches delivered were both profound and persuasive, sparking a spirited and sophisticated debate across the dinner table.
The quality of the presentations was exceptional, reflecting the growing confidence and oratorical skill of our Marlburians. We are delighted to congratulate the evening’s two winners: Ashlee, who delivered the winning Short Speech, and Koungyul, the winner of the Long Speech category.
Well done to all our speakers and their guests for another evening of inspiring and thought-provoking discussion; we look forward to the next Lectern Club in Summer Term.

At Marlborough College Malaysia. we do not aim to promote a purely Anglican point of view but rather we aim to set a moral compass for the children and we cherish and celebrate our multi-faith community.
Whilst maximising academic potential is an essential requirement of any school. the co-curricular aspect is a vital part of developing an all-round person. The spacious 90-acre campus with the outstanding facilities allows for excellent opportunities in sporting and outdoor pursuits. We also place high value in the contribution of music, art, drama and service to others in the holistic education that we deliver to the pupils in our care.
Our tailor-made Preparatory School curriculum prepares pupils in a rigorous manner for the Senior School. Parents may be interested to note UCAS (the UK’s university application system) has regarded IB and A Levels in terms of value and the new system gives more weight to the IB.
