Petition for 1) The Removal of The New Principal 2) The Well-Being of Our Students and Effective Communication from School Administration

Conclusion

CONCLUSION

Dear Petition Signees,

We are writing to update you on the recent developments concerning the petition regarding the campus principal.

1) Insufficient evidence
After a thorough investigation into the allegations raised, the school administration has completed their review and concluded that there was insufficient evidence to substantiate the claims against the campus principal.

Despite the presence of witnesses, school management claimed that the investigation did not yield sufficient proof as the alleged victim did not come forward to provide a formal statement or evidence.

As a result, no action will be taken against the principal.

2) School Management’s update on campus principal's behavior
The school's investigation team has finished following up on new statements from two student witnesses.

The investigation claimed that many inconsistencies in the testimonies, particularly about the date of the assembly and the campus principal's actions. No complaints were received from the alleged victims or their families either.

3) The school management also concluded that there is no solid evidence of any physical or verbal misconduct by the campus principal, though many noted her stern manner during the assembly.

The school has decided to end the investigation. Consequently, they are concerned about their reputation being at stake. We were advised to take down the petition due to the unverified nature of the allegations, as well as to avoid potential legal repercussions from the school for damaging its reputation.

4) We are closely monitoring every action taken by the school management. If the communication gap is not effectively addressed, we parents, will be compelled to take further steps. We trust that the management will recognize the importance of clear and transparent communication with all stakeholders.

Open dialogue is essential for fostering a positive and productive environment for our children, and we remain committed to ensuring this standard is met.

Thank you once again for standing alongside in advocating for the best interests of our children. This episode will closed for the time being.

Thank you and all the best everyone!

结论

尊敬的请愿签名者，

我们写信向您更新关于校园校长请愿的最新进展。

1.证据不足 在对所提出的指控进行彻底调查后，校方管理层完成了审查，并得出结论，认为没有足够的证据证实对校园校长的指控。

尽管有证人在场，校方管理层声称调查没有得到足够的证据，因为所谓的受害者没有出面提供正式声明或证据。

因此，校长不会受到任何惩罚。

2.校方管理层关于校长行为的更新 校方调查小组已经完成了对两名学生证人的新陈述的跟进。

调查称证词中存在许多不一致之处，特别是在集会日期和校园校长行为方面。也没有收到来自所谓受害者或其家人的投诉。

3.校方管理层还得出结论，认为没有确凿证据表明校长有任何身体或言语上的不当行为，尽管许多人注意到她在集会期间态度严厉。

学校决定结束调查。因此，他们担心声誉受到影响。我们被建议由于指控未经证实以及避免因损害学校声誉而可能引发的法律后果，撤下请愿书.

4.我们正在密切监视校方管理层采取的每一个行动。如果沟通问题没有得到有效解决，我们家长将不得不采取进一步措施。我们相信，管理层会认识到与所有利益相关者进行清晰透明沟通的重要性。

开放的对话对于为我们的孩子营造一个积极和富有成效的环境至关重要，我们将继续致力于确保这一标准的实现。

再次感谢您与我们站在一起，倡导我们孩子的最佳利益。此事件暂时告一段落。

感谢大家，并祝一切顺利！

NEW EVIDENCE !

NEW EVIDENCE !

There's some light at the end of the tunnel!

A big group of parents met with the CEO, Mr. Anthony Partington, in person at the school on Saturday, June 29, 2024.

1. New Evidence:

Please see below the attached notes taken during the Saturday meeting.

Several new issues have surfaced, including one significant incident concerning the new principal's behavior, as mentioned in the petition. This incident has led to the reopening of the investigation.

Two courageous witnesses have come forward to testify about the incident.The victim has been identified as a Year 2 International student involved in this unfortunate event.

The school administration has expressed a desire to meet with the victim to understand the full story.It is becoming increasingly evident that we have a strong case against the new principal.

Despite this, the school appears to be complicating the investigation process. Given that we already know the victim is a Year 2 International student, it should not be difficult to narrow down and carry out a thorough investigation.

2. Allegations of Parents' Threats against the new principal by the School Administration

We are uncertain whether the allegations made by the school regarding parents' threats are legitimate or if they are an attempt to undermine our concerns.

We urge all parents to refrain from such behavior, as it is immature and counterproductive. As a civilized community, we should always strive to resolve matters peacefully.

We reserve our rights as parents to further pursue this baseless allegation made by the school and demand proof, as these claims have already damaged the reputation of a parent.

3. Committee Members' Efforts:

The petition will remain active for the time being, as some cases have been reopened.The collective efforts of the committee have brought this petition to the next level.

Special credit goes to:

There are many more dedicated parents, whose names are not mentioned here, working hard behind the scenes and forming a powerful force to encourage more parental involvement.

Together, we can create a nurturing environment that benefits all our children and fosters a sense of unity and collaboration.

We will provide further updates in a week's time.

1. 新证据！

隧道尽头有一线光明！

一组家长于2024年6月29日星期六在学校与CEO Anthony Partington先生亲自会面。

新证据：

请参阅附上的星期六会议记录。

1. 出现了几项新问题，其中包括一项关于新校长行为的重要事件，该事件在请愿书中有所提及。

这一事件导致调查重新展开。两名勇敢的证人站出来对事件进行作证。受害者被确认是一名涉及此不幸事件的二年级国际学生。学校行政部门希望与受害者会面，以了解完整的故事。

越来越明显的是，对新校长有了有力的证据。尽管如此，学校似乎在使调查过程变得复杂。鉴于我们已经知道受害者是一名二年级国际学生，缩小范围并进行彻底调查不应该是困难的。

2. 学校行政部门对家长威胁新校长的指控

我们不确定学校关于家长威胁的指控是否属实，还是试图削弱我们的担忧。

我们敦促所有家长避免这种行为，因为这是不成熟和适得其反的。作为一个文明的社区，我们应该始终努力和平解决问题。

我们保留作为家长进一步追究学校这一毫无根据的指控并要求提供证据的权利，因为这些指控已经损害了一位家长的声誉。

3. 委员会成员的努力：

请愿书暂时仍然有效，因为一些案件已重新展开。委员会的集体努力使请愿书进入了一个新的阶段。

特别感谢：

...还有许多未在此提及名字的父母，他们在幕后辛勤工作，形成了一股强大的力量，鼓励更多家长参与。

我们共同努力，可以为所有孩子创造一个有益的环境，并培养一种团结与合作的精神。

我们将在一周内提供进一步更新。

Final Update

FINAL UPDATE

As you all know, we had another Zoom meeting with the CEO, Mr. Anthony Partington on June 25, 2024, Tuesday.

As claimed by the CEO, agenda item 1 from the petition to remove the new principal was not achieved due to lack of concrete evidences, after the findings and investigation conducted by the XCL team.

Nevertheless, agenda item 2 led the school to retract most of the recently implemented policies (e.g.,rescheduling of school activities, PE Attire policy, resuming sports subsidies, and grading for the secondary level), citing these are just misunderstandings between the school and the parents.

Although not all feedback were upheld, many unilateral decisions by the school have been reconsidered.

Moving forward, we should focus on forming a partnership with the school to facilitate improvements. It's not a total loss, we now have the opportunity for better and more open communication with the school administration.

While I appreciate the CEO's prompt action on this matter, he did not perceive the parents' reaction as a significant sign of rejection. This negativity could have a substantial impact on the school, highlighting how a poor school leader can be detrimental to the institution.

Well, for the sake of the children, we should focus on forming a partnership with the school to foster improvements. Unless we found new evidence to turn the things around, this Saturday will be crucial if luck is on our side.

If you ask if I am disappointed with the outcome, I can tell you that I am. However, on the bright side, this 'campaign' has allowed us to connect with many Real Schools parents.

Please unite as one. If we encounter any major issues with the principal or school administration in the future, we can now act and handle them more effectively.

At the CEO's request, the petition must be taken down to avoid potential legal repercussions for maligning the school's reputation.

One petition might be down, but there are many other social media platforms are widely available. The power of word-of-mouth marketing can spread information rapidly, akin to wildfire. The school needs to project a positive and healthy image to the public to establish itself as a leading institution in this area.

Over the past two weeks, we have experienced a whirlwind of activity following the submission of the petition. I have witnessed a remarkable unity among parents.

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each one of you for standing alongside in advocating for the best interests of our children. Your unwavering support and collective effort are truly inspiring.

Our united efforts are the key to achieving meaningful change. Together, we can make a significant difference.

Thank you once again for your commitment and support.

Regards
Y.Ching

P.S.:
In case you haven't heard, Mr. Anthony Partington will be in Real Schools on 29 June 2024, Saturday from 10am to 2pm.

This is the last chance to meet him in person and discuss any concerns you may have, before he flying off.

最后更新

大家好，如大家所知，我们于2024年6月25日星期二，与CEO先生Mr Anthony Partington 进行了另一场Zoom会议。

正如CEO所说，由于缺乏具体证据，XCL团队的调查发现，议程第一项——罢免新校长的提案未能实现。

尽管如此，议程第二项导致学校撤回了大部分最近实施的政策（例如，恢复体育补贴的学校活动以及中学的评分），调查报告说这些只是学校与家长之间的误会。

虽然并非所有反馈都被采纳，但学校的许多单方面决定已经被重新考虑。我们尽量专注于与学校建立伙伴关系，以促进改进。

这不是一次完全的失败，我们现在有机会与学校管理层进行更好和更开放的沟通。

虽然我对CEO在此事上的迅速行动表示感谢，但他并未将家长的反应视为显著的反对信号。这种负面情况将会对学校产生重大影响，突显出糟糕的校领导会对机构有害。

为了孩子们的利益，我们应该专注于与学校建立伙伴关系，以促进改进。

除非我们找到新的证据来扭转局面，本周六如果运气好的话，将是关键的一天。

如果你问我对结果是否失望，我可以告诉你是的。但是，从好的方面看，这次“运动”让我们与许多Real Schools的家长建立了联系。

请团结一致。如果未来我们与校长或学校管理层遇到任何重大问题，现在我们可以更有效地采取行动和处理这些问题。

根据CEO的要求，为避免因诽谤学校声誉而引发潜在的法律后果，请愿书撤下。

一份请愿书可能被撤下，但还有许多其他社交媒体平台可用。口碑营销的力量可以像野火一样迅速传播信息。学校需要向公众展示积极和健康的形象，以建立自己作为该地区领先机构的地位。

在请愿书后的两周内，我们经历了大量活动。我见证了家长们的显著团结。我想向每一位站在一起为我们孩子的最佳利益而奋斗的人表示衷心的感谢。你们坚定的支持和共同努力，真是令人鼓舞。我们团结一致的努力是实现有意义改变的关键。

一起，我们可以产生重大影响。再次感谢你们的承诺和支持。

附注：
如果你还不知道，CEO将于2024年6月29日星期六上午10点至下午2点在Real Schools。这是最后一次见到他并讨论任何关注的问题的机会.

Email reply to CEO

To: CEO XCL Malaysia <ceo@xcledu.my>Tue, Jun 18, 2024 at 4:18 AM

Dear Anthony,

Your email dated 17 Jun 2024 referred, thank you for following up on this matter.

As mentioned in your reply, we will inform parents to email you at ceo@xcledu.my for their intention to meet in person,
prior meeting you at JB Campus this Wednesday (19 June 2024, Wednesday from 9.30 to 5.30pm).

Before the start of the Zoom meeting that day, we conducted a poll with 26 attendees (excluding latecomers -see
attached). This poll was conducted anonymously, while we couldn't trace individual responses, we gathered some
insights regarding demographic information and reports of the new principal's inappropriate behaviors.

As mentioned during the Zoom meeting, we are not obligated to provide evidence. It is the responsibility of your team
to investigate and provide a satisfactory outcome. However, we did note two specific incidents: the new principal
labeling students as "cowards" and her statement encouraging parents to change schools if they were dissatisfied.
Both incidents occurred during a general assembly attended and witnessed by teachers and students. We believe that the installation of CCTV cameras in school could help capture any incidents and support your
investigation. We leave it to the XCL team to decide how to proceed in the absence of substantial evidence.

A good leader must have more than just qualifications. She must be a team player, and it is essential that the team
and stakeholders have confidence in her to move forward effectively. Regardless of whether all the misbehaviors can
be proven, it seems clear that she may not be suitable for the role of campus principal.

I am attaching the signees list with comments (but without the contact details) as these are personal data, consent
needs to be sought before releasing to you. Nevertheless, your presence this Wednesday in school has broadcasted
to all signees to come forward to address their concerns.

Please be reminded that another Zoom meeting will be scheduled on 25 June 2024 to discuss the findings and
outcomes of the investigation. Time TBA.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Best regards,
Y Ching
