<strong>UWC</strong> <strong>Maastricht</strong> <strong>honoured</strong> <strong>at</strong> <strong>UWC</strong> <strong>Netherlands</strong><br />
The <strong>UWC</strong> <strong>Netherlands</strong><br />
scholarship award ceremony<br />
in The Hague is a significant<br />
annual event in which the<br />
achievements of students are<br />
celebr<strong>at</strong>ed. Therefore, we <strong>at</strong><br />
<strong>UWC</strong> <strong>Maastricht</strong> were<br />
delighted to be asked not<br />
only to <strong>at</strong>tend this year‟s<br />
ceremony, but also to deliver<br />
a present<strong>at</strong>ion on<br />
the development<br />
of our Service<br />
Learning program.<br />
The purpose of the<br />
ceremony is<br />
primarily to award<br />
<strong>UWC</strong> scholarships<br />
to Dutch students<br />
who have shown<br />
outstanding<br />
personal qualities<br />
throughout a<br />
rigorous<br />
applic<strong>at</strong>ion process. This<br />
year, a record number of<br />
students — 27! — from the<br />
<strong>Netherlands</strong>, <strong>Netherlands</strong><br />
Antilles and Aruba were given<br />
scholarships to one of the<br />
<strong>UWC</strong>s throughout the world,<br />
from Li Po Chun <strong>UWC</strong> in Hong<br />
Kong, to <strong>UWC</strong> Mahindra in<br />
India and our own <strong>UWC</strong> in<br />
<strong>Maastricht</strong>.<br />
Some highlights of the <strong>UWC</strong>M<br />
present<strong>at</strong>ion last Friday were<br />
scholarship award ceremony<br />
Samreen F<strong>at</strong>ima‟s (year 12)<br />
introduction, in which she<br />
spoke about her unique<br />
experiences this year and<br />
advised scholarship students<br />
to “be prepared to have the<br />
best two years of your life.”<br />
She was followed by Mr Colin<br />
Jenkins, former Head of<br />
Atlantic College in Wales, who<br />
<strong>UWC</strong>M teaching staff, current students, future<br />
students and HRH Prince Willem-Alexander of Orange<br />
noted th<strong>at</strong> <strong>UWC</strong>M‟s adoption<br />
of the concept of Service<br />
Learning has set us apart<br />
from other <strong>UWC</strong>s. Each <strong>UWC</strong><br />
has a specific „mark‟ to leave<br />
on the world — and service as<br />
a form of educ<strong>at</strong>ion may be<br />
the „mark‟ for <strong>UWC</strong>M.<br />
Mr Simon Murray (Acting Head<br />
of College) and Ms Tine<br />
Vandewege (Service Learning<br />
Coordin<strong>at</strong>or) also spoke<br />
about the role of Service<br />
Learning in our College.<br />
Both emphasised the<br />
mutual benefits of Service<br />
Learning to communities<br />
and schools.<br />
Cicely Blain and Beba<br />
Cibralic (year 12) spoke<br />
about Consulo, an<br />
original method of<br />
reflection they<br />
have invented and<br />
Kristina Pallova<br />
(also year 12),<br />
together with<br />
Maddie and Pia<br />
from year 6,<br />
explained their<br />
use of the game<br />
for the audience.<br />
The College was<br />
represented in The<br />
Hague by a<br />
number of students<br />
as well as teaching<br />
and administr<strong>at</strong>ive staff and<br />
parents. Our students<br />
represented us superbly<br />
and some were even lucky<br />
enough to meet His Royal<br />
Highness Prince Willem-<br />
Alexander of Orange, the<br />
p<strong>at</strong>ron of <strong>UWC</strong> in the<br />
<strong>Netherlands</strong>.<br />

<strong>UWC</strong> <strong>Maastricht</strong>‟s<br />
annual Cre<strong>at</strong>ive<br />
Arts Evening was<br />
held last night to<br />
gre<strong>at</strong> acclaim!<br />
Cre<strong>at</strong>ive Arts Evening: Wednesday 15 June<br />
The evening<br />
consisted of<br />
eighteen items of a<br />
variety of<br />
performance types.<br />
Some highlights of<br />
the evening were<br />
the dance troupe‟s hip hop<br />
number „Telephone‟; a<br />
rendition of „Mad World‟ sung<br />
by Keren Berger and<br />
accompanied by Ales<br />
Varebyou on guitar; and a<br />
group instrumental<br />
performance by Hannah<br />
Verheul (violin), Julius<br />
Sustarevas (flute), Ales<br />
Varebyou (guitar) and Mr<br />
Earlier this year, <strong>UWC</strong>M was<br />
visited by the IBO in a „preauthoris<strong>at</strong>ion‟<br />
visit for our<br />
proposed MYP (Middle Years<br />
Program) authoris<strong>at</strong>ion. The<br />
College was awarded<br />
approval for our<br />
accomplishments so far and<br />
given some areas on which<br />
to focus. Now, after a<br />
considerable amount of very<br />
hard work by staff and<br />
students, the time for the<br />
College‟s official MYP<br />
authoris<strong>at</strong>ion has come.<br />
S<strong>at</strong>yadeep Srivastava (tabla<br />
drums).<br />
Students were closely<br />
involved in every aspect of<br />
planning and staging the<br />
event. They prepared<br />
refreshments, set up<br />
audience chairs and the<br />
performance space,<br />
organised the performers,<br />
hosted the<br />
event and<br />
managed the<br />
sound and<br />
lighting. Their<br />
hard work and<br />
commitment<br />
resulted in an<br />
entertaining<br />
and fun<br />
showcase of<br />
the dram<strong>at</strong>ic,<br />
musical and<br />
MYP authoris<strong>at</strong>ion: Monday 27 — Tues 28 June<br />
We will be visited on Monday<br />
27 and Tuesday 28 June by<br />
Mr Malcolm Nicolson, the<br />
Head of MYP from the IBO in<br />
Cardiff, UK and Mr An<strong>at</strong>oliy<br />
Kuznetsov from Miras IS<br />
Astana, Kazakhstan. Our<br />
visitors will observe a number<br />
of aspects of school life, from<br />
brief lesson observ<strong>at</strong>ions and<br />
meetings with teaching staff,<br />
to discussions with students<br />
dance talents of the<br />
students in the<br />
Middle and Upper<br />
Schools.<br />
Special mention<br />
should go to Federico<br />
Spera (year 12), who<br />
was a driving force<br />
behind the<br />
prepar<strong>at</strong>ion and<br />
subsequent success<br />
of the evening.<br />
Thanks must also go to the<br />
Parent Support Group, Mrs<br />
Ren<strong>at</strong>e Geris, Mr Ludo Roijen<br />
and many student and staff<br />
volunteers, all of whom<br />
worked tirelessly to prepare<br />
the event.<br />

Mother tongue<br />
learning <strong>at</strong> <strong>UWC</strong>M<br />
This school year, <strong>UWC</strong>M<br />
students are taking first<br />
language courses in 25<br />
different mother tongues.<br />
Most of the students enrolled<br />
in mother tongue courses<br />
other than English and Dutch<br />
are in years 12 and 13, as<br />
mother tongue is a<br />
compulsory subject in the IB<br />
Diploma Program.<br />
Next year, however, the<br />
school is expanding its<br />
mother tongue program in<br />
years 7 through to 11 (IB<br />
Middle Years Program) so<br />
th<strong>at</strong> every student can have<br />
the opportunity to study his<br />
or her first language as well<br />
as the compulsory subjects<br />
of English and Dutch.<br />
For any enquiries about<br />
<strong>UWC</strong>M‟s mother tongue<br />
programme, please contact<br />

Viaduct Project upd<strong>at</strong>e — the poetry<br />
Before I was asked to write<br />
this article, I thought th<strong>at</strong> I<br />
knew exactly wh<strong>at</strong> the Viaduct<br />
Project meant to me. I realised<br />
how much I was mistaken as<br />
soon as I tried to formul<strong>at</strong>e my<br />
thoughts. Wh<strong>at</strong> popped into<br />
my mind were the words of<br />
Vincent van Gogh: „Poetry<br />
surrounds us everywhere, but<br />
putting it on paper is, alas, not<br />
so easy as looking <strong>at</strong> it.‟<br />
I think th<strong>at</strong> this is the best<br />
possible summary of the idea<br />
of our project. We are trying<br />
to show van Gogh‟s words<br />
almost literally. We want<br />
poetry to surround us and we<br />
are doing our best to allow it<br />
to remain unlimited by any<br />
kind of border.<br />
The purpose of this project is<br />
deep in the minds and hearts<br />
of the<br />
people<br />
who<br />
cre<strong>at</strong>ed it.<br />
The<br />
theme of<br />
the<br />
Viaduct<br />
Project<br />
also adds<br />
to this<br />
purpose.<br />
Connections? Wh<strong>at</strong> do they<br />
mean? How are they linked<br />
with our intern<strong>at</strong>ional<br />
community? How can they be<br />
associ<strong>at</strong>ed with a place th<strong>at</strong><br />
used to be<br />
just a grey,<br />
sad tunnel<br />
leading to<br />
our<br />
school?<br />
Upper School students perform <strong>at</strong> ‘Kunst Tour’<br />
One of the most exciting<br />
aspects of living in <strong>Maastricht</strong><br />
is this living artistic<br />
environment where people<br />
g<strong>at</strong>her together to cre<strong>at</strong>e,<br />
invent and express. Those<br />
three qualities were truly<br />
manifested in the annual art<br />
festival „Kunst Tour‟ based on<br />
the theme „My mouth still<br />
speaks the tongue of my<br />
mother‟.<br />
During Kunst Tour, Grace<br />
Sparapani, Andrea Grimaldi<br />
and myself, along with Mine<br />
Stemkens, a Dutch poet and a<br />
spoken word artist, organised<br />
a performance for the final<br />
event of the festival. We<br />
focused our performance on<br />
the theme of „mother tongue‟<br />
and cre<strong>at</strong>ed several scenes<br />
using stories and poems. The<br />
performance was in almost<br />
eight languages with Dutch<br />
transl<strong>at</strong>ion. Other students<br />
from year 12 helped us out<br />
by acting and playing music<br />
during the show.<br />
It was an amazing<br />
experience, although<br />
stressful. We had to perform<br />
These<br />
could be<br />
the<br />
questions th<strong>at</strong> Mine<br />
Stemkens would like you to<br />
answer. She‟s a Dutch poet,<br />
who together with the<br />
Buurtpl<strong>at</strong>form<br />
(neighbourhood organis<strong>at</strong>ion);<br />
Mrs Nicola Jackson (<strong>UWC</strong>M<br />
Visual Arts teacher); Ms<br />
Laurie Kraaijeveld (Head of<br />
Languages); the artist Esther<br />
Janssen; the BLS and<br />
Leeuwenborgh (our<br />
neighbouring Dutch schools),<br />
came up with the idea of this<br />
art-connecting-people-poetry<br />
project. The artwork on the<br />
viaduct has been completed<br />
our piece<br />
twice in<br />
the streets<br />
as a sort of<br />
rehearsal<br />
before the<br />
closing<br />
event,<br />
which was<br />
very<br />
challenging as we had to<br />
shout very loudly in order to<br />
capture everyone‟s <strong>at</strong>tention.<br />
Luckily, everything went well<br />
in the final performance and<br />
the tough month of<br />
prepar<strong>at</strong>ion was worth it. The<br />
and the poetry is in the<br />
process of being added to it.<br />
You will see the final result of<br />
this cre<strong>at</strong>ive work soon, so<br />
prepare yourself for a piece of<br />
reality th<strong>at</strong> has its origins<br />
somewhere out of this world!<br />

Note: The official opening of<br />
the finished work is taking<br />
place <strong>at</strong> the tunnel on Friday<br />
24 June <strong>at</strong> 4.00pm. Come to<br />
the opening to celebr<strong>at</strong>e the<br />
results of this exciting project!<br />
performance ended up being<br />
quite rewarding - we even<br />
noticed some happy tears<br />
amongst the audience.<br />

Newsletter Issue 12<br />
As part of the year 10 tutorial<br />
program this year, we have<br />
focused on issues of personal<br />
care: specifically, healthy<br />
e<strong>at</strong>ing.<br />
The two year 10 tutor groups<br />
were divided into four smaller<br />
groups of 8 — 9 students<br />
each. Each group was given<br />
an important task: to plan,<br />
budget, purchase ingredients<br />
for and prepare a „healthy<br />
lunch‟ for the entire year<br />
group (plus three very lucky<br />
teachers!) In addition to this,<br />
each group had to present a<br />
short speech explaining why<br />
they had made particular<br />
decisions in their prepar<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
<strong>UWC</strong>M‟s<br />
first<br />
„Moment<br />
of<br />
Dialogue‟ took place on<br />
Wednesday 15 June.<br />
Students from years 8, 9, 10<br />
and 12 g<strong>at</strong>hered in small<br />
groups during assembly<br />
period and lunchtime to<br />
share personal stories on the<br />
theme of „connections.‟<br />
Connections are an<br />
important concept in an<br />
intern<strong>at</strong>ional school as<br />
students often experience<br />
of the meal.<br />
This challenge was<br />
seized upon with<br />
determin<strong>at</strong>ion by<br />
each group. The<br />
first planning<br />
session consisted<br />
of r<strong>at</strong>her a lot of<br />
shouting as they<br />
argued the various<br />
merits of each<br />
other‟s ideas. An<br />
added challenge was the<br />
various dietary requirements<br />
of students — it was<br />
necessary, for example, to<br />
have vegetarian options<br />
available for non-me<strong>at</strong><br />
e<strong>at</strong>ers. Each group was<br />
also expected to stick to a<br />
minimal budget and almost<br />
non-existent cooking<br />
facilities (thank goodness<br />
for Mrs Mahönen and her<br />
portable hot pl<strong>at</strong>e!)<br />
The first group provided us<br />
with a traditional Dutch<br />
lunch of sandwiches — with<br />
some influence from the<br />
Middle East. The hummus<br />
Words, words, words...a Moment of Dialogue<br />
moves to different countries,<br />
which results in the cre<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
of many connections. This<br />
year <strong>UWC</strong>M students have<br />
learned to connect in many<br />
new ways through<br />
involvement in Service<br />
Learning, interacting with<br />
students from many<br />
countries and particip<strong>at</strong>ing in<br />
school camps, for example.<br />
The first multilingual „Day of<br />
Dialogue‟ in the <strong>Netherlands</strong><br />
will take place in our school<br />
<strong>at</strong> the beginning of next<br />
school year in about twelve<br />
was particularly well<br />
received! They were followed<br />
by the second group who<br />
prepared a lovely meal of<br />
me<strong>at</strong> and vegetarian fajitas<br />
and tacos, with fresh fruit<br />
salad to follow.<br />
There are two groups still to<br />
come — and the taste buds<br />
of the year 10 cohort eagerly<br />
await their next meal!<br />

Another <strong>UWC</strong>M<br />
initi<strong>at</strong>ive to do with<br />
connections is the<br />

which explores<br />
connections<br />
between visual art,<br />
drama, music and<br />

Extended Essay<br />
students in<br />
Science<br />
Looking back in life, it is clear<br />
th<strong>at</strong> one often feels the<br />
happiest when life is busy. Our<br />
year 12 students must<br />
therefore feel very happy <strong>at</strong><br />
the moment… especially our<br />
Science Extended Essay<br />
students.<br />
They have been g<strong>at</strong>hering<br />
d<strong>at</strong>a for their essays, usually<br />
until the early evening, in the<br />
school labor<strong>at</strong>ory under the<br />
supervision of their teachers.<br />
This has meant long, fumefilled<br />
afternoons in a hot<br />
labor<strong>at</strong>ory, but also laughter<br />
and occasionally opportunities<br />
to do something th<strong>at</strong> would<br />
either be impossible or illegal<br />
to do in your garage. We<br />
salute our students and hope<br />
th<strong>at</strong> this experience will give<br />
them a better view on „how<br />
science works‟. Perhaps it will<br />
also inspire them to choose a<br />
career in science!<br />
