POWIIS Project Mission

To empower students to become compassionate, confident and globally-minded citizens ready to make positive change through authentic experiences, while actively advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

POWIIS Project Vision

A dynamic and inclusive community where every student contributes to sustainable global progress, developing the skills, values and passions to lead, innovate and serve in an ever-evolving world.

All students at POWIIS select a project each term and dedicate their Friday afternoons to meaningful community engagement. Some students travel off-campus to participate in activities such as beach clean-ups, tree planting or supporting animal care at the SPCA. Others choose to remain on campus, contributing to initiatives like maintaining our school gardens or managing the recycling centre. Each project is aligned with one or more of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and is designed to make a tangible impact within the Penang community.

Students are encouraged to broaden their experiences by exploring different types of service through our three POWIIS Project pathways:

• Leadership – Lead the Change
  • (Students take initiative, organise and manage projects)
• INNOVATION – Create the Future
  •  (Students develop new ideas, solutions, or products)
• PARTICIPATION – Make a Difference
  • (Students contribute through hands-on, direct service)

We believe that everyone in our community has the power to make a difference. By the time our students graduate, we are confident they will leave with a well-informed conscience and the commitment to act on it.
