Principals MessagePrincipals MessageDear Zaman Community, We are excited to present the next issue of Zaman Magazine.At Zaman, we put strong emphasis on the teacher, student and parent relationship. Zaman International Schools vision is to bring up the individuals who are to thrive and contribute to this world having a solid sense of who they are, and respect for who others are as individuals, as members of a group, as citizens of their nation, and as members of the global community. To support and enhance these relationships and the vision, the school focuses on the project-based learning and we deem that international Olympiads across the disciplines lend many opportunities for our students.

In the academics arena, particularly pertaining to the English and Math departments, we had an array of projects showcase by our students. We are delighted to see how our students are able to interpret the different concepts across the disciplines in their artwork and posters and give knowl-edge an interesting face-lift.

,QDGGLWLRQGXULQJWKHUVWTXDUWHUQHDUO\HDFKZHHNRXUYLFHSULQFLSDOVDQG,YLVLWHGWKHFODVVURRPI am pleased to report that we are always impressed with the quality of instructions and the high levels at which our students are learning. We are fortunate to have a professional staff that are dedi-cated to helping students, and supportive parents who value learning and actively partners with us. We recently administered midterm tests and general assessment and the results should be out by the time you receive this magazine. We are now in the process of developing the next set of general assessment for this quarter. The new schedule wherein lessons start at 7:35 a.m. has taken effect since the beginning of the second quarter.

Many colleges and schools around the world arrange innumerable tours simply to bring out broad-minded, sociable, ardent overall audacious individuals into our life. ZIS is one of those schools indeed where our students show how passionate they are in order to accomplish their goals. Therefore, here in ZIS we are aiming to support our ambitious as well as smart learn-ers to achieve their aims not only indoors but also outside the school. Thus, this summer ZIS gave to our students that chance to set an amazing journey to Turkey by providing various op-portunities. First, the most exciting opportunity for our students was to experience new things. Because Turkey has its own unique food choices. This gave our students a chance to try some new cooking. For this purpose, both they were invited by volunteer Turkish families and went different restaurants by the seaside. Secondly, there was an educational side. Our students gained and to expanded their knowledge while visiting new locations in Turkey. It widened their perspective of the world so they did not think all corners of the land were the same any-more. They discovered similarities and differences between our cultures. And furthermore, the new experiences helped to broaden their outlook. Our students had the chance to accom-modate both at the hotel which offered sea view in Izmir and at the dormitory which had great comfort in Istanbul.

We went to Istanbul, Bolu, Ankara, Eskisehir, Denizli, Bursa and the last 5 days we were spent in Istanbul. In Bolu, we went to a mountain with a really beauti-ful view. In Ankara, we went to the zoo and in Samanyolu, we went to a really nice school. Then we took the train to Eskisehir, a fast train around 300 km per hour. In Denizli, we went to Pamukale, the white stone. Back to Istanbul, we used a boat. Istanbul is a really nice and big city. There are around 20 million people living there. In Istanbul we went to Via land, a museum, a go kart track and some beautiful super-markets. On the last day, we all wanted to go back home, but when I was back home in Cambodia, I missed Turkey so much. I dont know why I felt that.

After a long week of exams, our 8B class had a wonderful trip to Turkey. It was an extraordi-nary journey for my friends and I. Although sometimes fun can turn into unhappy memories, when we arrived there, everyone was happy. The 10 days trip seemed like one day to us. We visited many interesting places, the most beautiful of them being Pamukkale. It looked cold in the pictures that we had seen, but actually it was very hot there. The food was amazing! The spice that they use was beyond thought. The best was the ice-cream, which had a chewy and soft-gummy texture, it was great. In the end, we would like to say that it was a very cool trip, and we will look forward to another trip next time.

Rothvichet Poch 9B

Our trip started on 24th of June. Well, all I can say about Turkey is that it was fun. We spent a lot of time on a bus. The provinces that we visited were Istanbul, Bolu, Bursa, Eskisehir, An-kara Afyon and then we went back to Istanbul. We went to a cinema, a paranormal cinema, a BBQ, a museum park, the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and other places. The food mostly tasted good, but sometimes it tasted bad to me. Turkey is a really beautiful country. We also crossed the Trust Bridge which is from Europe to Asia to Europe. In the end, I want to say thanks to Mr. Mustafa Ozgur, Mr. Murat, Mr. Oguz Coygun and Mr. Maksat for spending their time with us.

David Ty 9B

My name is David Ty. Last summer our class took a trip to Turkey. We visited many cities there, such as Bolu, Afyan, and Istanbul. The city that I liked most was Istanbul. Our trip was 10 days long. We ate a lot of food, my favorites were a desert made from ice, a snack called turkish delight and kebab. We had a very good trip and returned to Cambodia. When we came back, sometimes we missed Turkey.

I went to many places, but the most fun place for me was Bolu. At Bolu I went to the lake and that was totally fun. The restaurant food was very good. People in Turkey are attractive and kind. We also visited Pamukkale, I spent a little time there and I had so much fun. In Turkey there are a lot of ancient places and they are very beautiful. We vis-ited a lot of places there and my friends and I had a lot of fun together. When we came back I missed Turkey so much. This was a long journey. Turkey was totally best trip that I have had.

The most memorable moment that I loved was when I saw my friends solid wasted, if you can catch my drift.

We are so thankful to all of the teachers. Sometime we got angry with each other, but we forgave and forgot.

I think Turkey is an amazing country because Turkey has many thing that Cambodia doesnt have, like food, shops, hotels and supermarkets. I really like the supermarkets in Turkey. Tur-key also has a big boat and a big airport. Everybody in Turkey is friendly and I really like them. Unfortunately, I dont like turkish food, but I really enjoyed this trip.

The part I like most was the time we spent on Bolu mountain together.. It was the best time Ive ever had.

The food in Turkey is different from Cambodian food. Cambodian people eat rice and Turkish people eat their meals with bread, but it was no matter to us and we just tried to eat different foods that we never tried before. One more thing that I can remember is we went to the biggest Stadium in Turkey, called Fenerbahce Stadium. That stadium was very nice and a wonderful place. It was such a nice time for me to go to Turkey. Lastly, if I had the chance, I would go to Turkey with my friends and my homeroom teacher again. I think that all of you would like and enjoy it too!!!

In June of 2013, we joined this competition as the representatives of Cambodia with 6 students DQGPHDVWKHVXSHUYLVRU$IWHURXUFRPIRUWDEOHLJKWWR1HZ


By Sovandy Chin 12E

It is an honor for me to get Bronze medal from Genius Olympiad 2013. I was so excited and overwhelmed to put into words. I couldnt have imagined that I had the oppor-tunity to join this kind of international competition and it wasnt easy for me. I met many people from different countries all over the world. And we shared our knowl-edge, culture and tradition. It was an inspirational experience and I learned a lot from that. Also, I recommend to all Zaman students to join any Olympiad, it might be one of the most amazing experiences in your life.

At last, I would like to share my happiness and show my gratitude to my respective family, teachers and friends who are my constant source of inspiration. They encour-aged me to tackle with obstacles and self-determination. Without their love and sup-port I couldnt get this great honor.



By Sovannarong Pech (Zaman Alumnus)

We went as a large group, 6 people, to join GENIUS in Oswego, NY. It was really nerve-wrecking during the judging session, other than that we had tons of fun such as visiting Niagara fall. But the highlight moment during GENIUS was that each and every one of us got a medal. It brought us huge smiles and laugh, before knowing that we did it, we dedicated ourselves to achieving, and thats the results.

By Uddam Pen (Zaman Alumnus)

GENIUS Olympiad was one of the best times of my life and its all thanks to my family, friends as well as my teachers who motivated me since my last project turned down in 2012. It was one of the funniest experiences Ive ever had. It gave me the opportu-nity to compete against other countries and saw different cultures likewise. The best moment there, of course, was during the announcement of the results that all Cambo-dian participants had got medals for their projects so far. Im looking forward to you guys participating in the next Olympiad and GETTING MORE MEDALS. Oh yeah, DO MAKE FRIENDS!!!



By Leeyong Banh 12F

The awardees who hear their names please come up to the stage to receive your awards. said the MC and started announcing names by names out of each project categories from special awards to honorable mention and ended with gold medalists. As the names started showing continuously on the screen along with the MCs an-nouncement, every participant got more and more nervous and we ZAMAN students were no different. At that moment, six of us started telling each other You have to get a gold medal! We all have to get gold medals! Please do not show any of our names till the gold medalist category shows up! However, things were completely opposite from what we used to do on the previous days: care freely played around with people, made it feel like home and kept our expectation low, only expected for an honorable mention so that we will not feel tensed while enjoying our time happily. But fortu-nately, the result came out quite amazing. Our ex-12B students, Sovannarong Pech got a silver medal among science projects while his friend Uddam Pen also received a silver medal among Art Poster Design Category. Among Design - Architect proj-ects, Sovandy Chin (12E) was rewarded with a bronze medal. Meanwhile, Dalika Bora (12E), Somonia Sophoan (12E) and Leeyong Banh (12F) were given a bronze, silver and a gold medal respectively in creative writing. To me, it was one of the most awesome experiences Ive ever been through. Within a short five days in the campus, the six of us went through lots of things together. We also got to know each other better and made friends with people from many other dif-ferent countries as well.

At the end, I would like to give a short message to the next generations of ZAMAN. As an ex-GENIUS Olympiad participant, I have the urge to encourage those who have a slight interest in joining any Olympiads to not hesitate and give it a try. Its totally worth it. Other than science, design, art, and creative writing, there will be a music field available for those who love music. For those who want to try creative writing, a great thing to let you guys know, your grammar doesnt have to be perfect said one of the judges I talked to. So just grab your pens, write down your imaginations, and go for it! Good Luck!



By Somonia Sophoan 12E

When my friends told me that I was one of the finalists of Genius Olympiad, I thought they were trolling me. But surprisingly, they werent. I was really shocked and excited at the same time. Ive never thought that I could make it through to the final. I guess Im quite lucky. Even though I was glad that I had the chance to compete in the final, I was quite nervous, too. I was just hoping that things would go smoothly and guess what? It was much much better than I expected. Everything was great; the environ-ment, the weather and of course, the food. There were many students coming from other countries and they were really friendly. Moreover, the night of the International Fair was a blast. Honestly, I thought it was going to be boring but I was totally wrong. It was super duper fun! My friends and I were taking photos like crazy. We were too excited, thats why. And the trip to Niagara Falls was the best of the best! The waterfall was huge and stunning. It is really one of a kind. However, the fun and joy came to an end when it was time to announce the results. I was a bit anxious though. Fortunately, the results turned out pretty well, I got silver medal. I was really happy but then upset again, because the Olympiad was finally over. It all happened so fast. I wish it would last longer than that. Time does fly really fast when youre having fun.

By Sophea Dalika Bora 12E

Being able to participate in the Genius Olympiad 2013 was a very extraordinary expe-rience for me. The best thing that I have learnt through it is not the competitiveness of the competition but the ability to overcome the language barrier and make friends with students from all over the world. I have become more active and outgoing.

We were astonished seeing the enormous Exhibition Hall where hundreds of stands were placed for competitors. We took the time to look around and see the other competi-tors work. Though we were slightly discouraged by seeing outstanding projects of other applicants, we hoped for good. Another best opportunity was a visit to NASA Space Center, where one can see real space shuttle and planes. We had a chance to meet some of our school graduates; one of them is Teacher Sovaths son, who was very helpful, generous and hospitable.

Our next stop was Los Angeles, which lasted for three days sightseeing and relaxing. Going to Six Flag Amusement

Park was one of the best chilling out experience. We were thrilled by the roller coasters and other fast ride. The

next place to go was the Universal Studios. We spent the whole day there going on the studio tour and watching shows. We would never forget the Hol-lywood Boulevard and the dome with telescopes.

Our trip came to the end, and it was bid a farewell. We left one of our friends, Visoth, who was going to continue his study there. It was hard to leave the

country and our friend behind.

I am grateful for having this opportunity to learn about the different cultures and visit breathtaking places. I

would like to express my appreciation to school, to beloved teachers and the great supervisor for supporting us and help-

ing in many ways to achieve this success. And looking forward to participating more international Olympiads and present my country to the

World.

By Sovannarong Pech (Zaman Alumnus)

During I-SWEEEP competition, I had this mixture of feelings, exciting, anxious, ner-vous, every feeling possible. It was because of the new environment and the strict com-petition. To be brutally honest, the result of bronze medal was a bit of a disappointment because Ive expected the result to be better. But I said to myself that I did give it a shot, and I did learn and got something in return, such as the experience which I will never trade for anything else. To sum up, I want to say is some words of encouragement to all of you, for you to join international competition while you can right now. Just manage your time well and try hard, your efforts will not be wasted and frankly it will be the only chance that you will have during high school.

It took us about one day to arrive to Schiphol airport in Amsterdam, the capital city of Netherlands. I was excited when I arrived there. We received a warm welcome from the INESPOs volunteers and about two hours later we continued our journey to the bungalows in Hof Domburg. The weather was colder than Amsterdam as its located near the ocean. We were all checked in then took a rest.

Next day, the exhibition started; all participates were busy preparing the boards and tables. I was in the environmental category because my project is related to water; how to clean and remove Arsenic from ground water. Actually, there were four more projects similar to mine and this made me feel nervous. Their projects were in groups of two or more whilst mine was an individual project.

After I-SWEEEP, it was still not time to settle down. Just one day after arriving from I-6:(((3,VWLOOKDGWRSDUWLFLSDWHLQDQRWKHU,QWHUQDWLRQDO6FLHQFH2O\PSLDG,6352ZLWKthe same project in Jakarta, Indonesia. I was alone there with my teacher, Mr. Cihan. We started our journey from Phnom Penh in the morning and we arrived at Jakarta in the evening. During these times, we were sitting in the plane, always eating or walking around the airport.

The next day, we went to a university to prepare our booth for the projects presentation. The judging period was two days. My project was judged on the second day. After that we had a HOGWULSWR7DPDQ6DIDULDQGZHZHUHVHWIUHHWRGRZKDWHYHUZHZDQWHG:HIRXQGLWZDVDQinteresting place animals were walking around our buses. That evening we were taken to a very big shopping center where we bought souvenirs for our families. Arriving at the hotel, we were really exhausted. I didnt sleep well that night because the next day was the time to see our results. It was a very nervous and exciting moment when we were waiting to know whether we would win something or not. I hoped to get something better than the bronze medal I had got from I-SWEEEP. Unfortunately, it was announced that I got a bronze medal again. I was a bit disappointed; however, it is still better than getting nothing to take home. After the awards ceremony, some participants had to go back to their home countries. For us, we didnt go anywhere that day because we needed to prepare, get ready for the journey and especially to gather energy going back home.

We were so excited to get back home. However, I had to copy all of the lessons that I had missed during these days. Lastly, I would like to thank the school and teachers for introducing me to and helping me with this kind of Olympiad.

Sometimes people might think that why to learn a new language when you already know your own language besides some others. To answer this question, we would like to share this saying with our students A language means a new friend, new world and knowledge. When you are more curious about the world, it is a tool that you all have to help you to communicate with people.

Learning a new language is not easy issue as we all know. It needs time, patient and most importantly interest in that language. Last year, many of our students tried their best to open a new door in their life to the new world. It was very challenging for them to learn Turkish, and even sing and read poem in this language. Most of them were really good but unfortunately, we did not have chance to bring all of them to Turkey. After song and poem contests in our school, talented students of Zaman family got chance to see that excited atmosphere of Turkish Olympiads.

As teachers and students of Cambodia, we all were very proud of being there. What was most exciting for us was that Cambodia, our second hometown, had a new opportunity to open its doors to new people in Turkey whom really wanted to know about our country. We can say that it was more than an Olympiad for all of us. It meant sharing, knowing and understanding others, and carrying your own culture to another country for people who you can read the ex-citement of new things from their eyes. We are really thankful to Lisa, Lisaiya, Nittavann and Dalen for their efforts.

Using this opportunity let me thank those teachers who were the part of wonderful memories I had a chance to experience last year.

Filling with a mixture of happiness, expectations and anxieties, I started my journey to Turkey as a participant of International Turkish Olympiads together with some of my friends.

The citys charming history was introduced by our teachers, which gave us another reason to appreciate its customs and traditions. One of the customs of these hospitable and friendly people, which many of us fell in love with, was visiting the houses where the owner of the house will try his best to make us feel home. It was not easy to leave this already close-to-the heart place after a couple of days, as we had to head to Izmir.



O l ym p i a dIzmir hosted the event International Language and Culture Fair where I met a huge group of international children who came from more than 140 different countries. The most enjoyable part of the event was the showcase of cultures where you can learn interesting background of diverse cultures and have opportunity to show you own.

Our next stop was Ankara capital city of Turkey. There all participants and supervising teach-ers were placed in one of the most beautiful hotels in the city Kizilcahamam Hotel. I would not exaggerate if I state that competition that lasted ten days was the pin point of that one month journey. Encountering thousands of people from varied backgrounds and performing on the stage to the massive audience was a lifelong experience. Even though I could not get the top prize, I am grateful for being granted this chance to visit such a beautiful place.

After competition we returned back to beloved Istanbul. Spending sometime with new fami-lies, visiting some places of interest, testing delicious Turkish cuisine in the luxurious restau-rants and shopping was the fun activities that spiced up our time in Turkey. When it was time to bid a farewell we wished that our time there would be a bit longer.

17 June 2013 was a day that I went to The Republic of Turkey to participate of the International Turkish Olympiad. I went to Turkey with my younger sister, my friends and my homeroom teachers family. It was a long journey to reach Turkey from Cambodia, be-fore that we all gathered at Phnom Penh International $LUSRUWLQWKHHDUO\PRUQLQJRXULJKWZDVVWDUWHGaround 7 oclock and we spent many hour on the airplane to reach Turkey.

It was one of the best experiences because I met many people and friends over here. Just in 3 days the number of visitors increased to 3 million, it was a very crowded fair that Ive never met before. After the fair was over, it was time to start our journey again to Turkeys capital city, Ankara. :HUHDFKHG$QNDUDRQ-XQHDQGRXUFRPSHWLWLRQVWDUWHGDW.]OFDKDPDP+RWHOQHDUAnkara city. From that point, we were very busy because we had to focus on our exams. There were 2000 students from 140 countries to participate in International Turkish Olympiad.

May 2013 the 14th was the time for me to leave Cambodia with our school Turkish Olympi-ads of the 11th Turkish International Olympiads to Turkey with three of our Turkish teachers. The Olympiads began on the 1st of June with the number of 3000 students from 140 different countries. With all the students there, we had so much fun and we shared the cultures of our countries. No one felt it was a competition but everyone felt it was a memorable month of the year. We were all family. We stood tall and praised the peace through the songs and poems. The Olympiads took place in 12 different cities for each continental group. Cambodia was in the 5th group which headed the tour in the southeast of Turkey. It started with Istanbul, Izmir, Mersin, Adana, Hatay, Osmaniye, Gaziantep, Kahramanmaras, Sanliurfa, Batman, Mardin DQGQDOO\HQGHGLQ'L\DUEDNLU:HZHUHIURPGLIIHUHQWFRXQWULHVZLWKGLIIHUHQWFXOWXUHVEXWwe all had an idea of global citizenship. The last day was the sweetest and also the best moment for everybody. We could not bear to be separated from one another. We were like thousand year pals who made us so hard to stop hugging and saying last wishes. By what I have experienced in this big organization, I guess nothing was waste in any of those moments. Everything went quite well. Everyone felt just pleased to meet again in any place in this world. In my opinion, all of you have each talent to experience the same atmosphere of this brilliant organization.

Through song contest at Zaman, I became one of the best participants among my friends and I obtained a chance to join Turkish Olympiads 2013, Turkey. There were many categories in the competition such as singing, dancing, recitation, speaking and etc. I can say that I had an unforgettable experience in my life.

To be honest, the reason why I joined the song contest at Zaman was just because of getting high score in Turkish. I can say that I was score-oriented. Unexpectedly, I got the 3rd place in the contest and then my mind started to change. After a long term of practicing the language, singing and the stage usage, I was ready to go to Turkey with my teachers and friends. I was H[FLWHGDQGWKHUVWVWHSLQ7XUNH\PDGHPHVKRFNHG7XUNH\VEHDXWLIXOHQYLURQPHQWWKDW,did not expect to see was more than enough for me to love the country. My second shock was the stage. After Istanbul and Yalova, my third stop was Ankara Kizilcahamam and the contest was held on a big stage. We spent about 10 days over there and we went to other cities such as Izmir, Kirsehir, Aksaray, Nigde and at the end Istanbul again. Unfortunately, I was not a successful candidate in the Olympiads because I did not have enough capacity in Turkish as I was playful. I feel regret not to have spent enough time in Turkish and pay attention to what I was warned about.

In conclusion, I want to say that I liked every moment of these 33 days of Turkey. Turkish friends, lovely Turkish families and beautiful provinces that I visited were my biggest gift I got. Most importantly, having a chance to visit Turkey and International friends from all over the world were other extra presents for me.

What is WPO?

7KH:RUOG3HDFH2UFKHVWUD :32EDVHG LQ1HZ


What is goal of WPO?

Ultimately, the goal of the World Peace Orchestra experience is to assist each youth to better harness her/his capacity for creative social action through the universal language of music making, an open exchange of cultural views and customs, and participation within an international network of young people eager to carry out projects back in their home city and country. On behalf of its young players, the World Peace Orchestra commits to widespread dissemination of the students social action projects through the establishment of a worldwide peace based initiatives network. Throughout each year of this year-round work, WPO strives to help its participants discover that people, no matter their age, better understand others when they openly share their own constructive viewpoints and dreams. To make this possible, the WPO seeks to mobilize youth from across the globe around the theme of peace, utilizing the transformative and deeply per-sonal impact of music making and music sharing.

Imagining a world that can be otherwise is the goal.

In sum, the World Peace Orchestra has an ambitious agenda to embolden itself and the youth it serves to build communication bridges between diverse cultures, carry out activities to raise public awareness of select social problems through online and print media, and create in-depth partnerships with other key national and international orga-nizations that are active in the pursuit of social responsibility and action.

WPO Summer Camp

What is even more remarkable is what happens before and after this performance, what bookends it and gives it meaning. Students who have been selected to join the orchestra will receive in-depth training during all-expenses paid, month long summer camp, to be held in NYC during August and September of each year. In addition, they will have the opportunity to travel around the U.S., exploring various cultural and historical treasures in NYC, while also visiting Washington D.C., Boston and Philadelphia. To round out this experience, camp days will include various sports and social activities, and struc-tured workshops where experts in media production and distribution will teach each student how to express their views through simple to sophisticated use of electronic and print media.

In Turkey, it is hard to imagine breakfasts, socialgatherings, business meetings, carpet bargains inthe Grand Bazaar, and even ferry rides across theBosphorus without tea. With tea servers in thestreets, shopping malls, and parks shoutingAY! (chai), the beverage is always within ashouting distance. Tea is fundamental toTurkish social life and plays a significant rolein Turkeys domestic economy.

Tea in Turkish Social Life

Although tea passed through Turkey as part of the Silk Roadtrade in the 1500s, it did not become a part of the daily life until theend of 19th century. In 1878, Mehmet Izzet, then the governor ofAdana, published the ay Risalesi (Tea Pamphlet), touting the healthbenefits of drinking tea. Although coffee was still the favorite bever-age in this period, tea consumption began to spread as tea housesopened in Sultanahmet, Istanbul. Tea gradually became a cheaperalternative to coffee; four glasses of tea could be purchased for theprice of one cup of Turkish coffee.

Travel to any town in Turkey and you are sure to finda tea house or a tea garden. In smaller towns and rural

areas, tea houses are the preferred social hubwhere people meet. In larger cities and touristic

regions, tea houses welcome the young and the elderly as well asmany foreigners. Tea gardens, another social venue to drink tea,gained popularity in the 1950s, especially in Istanbul, and becamethe places where families went for recreation. It is important to notethat the Turkish tea garden is very different from a Japanese tea garden(roji). While the latter is quiet and serene and was developed in conjunction with the Japanese tea ceremony, Turkish tea gardens arethe hubs of social activity where kids running around, music playing,and lively conversation among various people ranging from students,to businessmen to retirees and foreigners take place.

Today, Turks have one of the highest per capita consumptionrates of tea, averaging about 1,000 cups per year. This high rateowes itself to the availability of places to consume tea, social customsand traditions, and domestic production along the Eastern Black Seacoast.

By Sok Udom Deth (Zaman Alumnus)

Hi, my name is Udom. I consider myself very fortunate that I got a chance to study at Bogazici University in Istanbul, Turkey, from 2002 to 2006. Formerly known as Robert College, it was established in 1863 as the oldest American college outside the U.S. border. In 1971, the PDLQFDPSXVNQRZQDVWKH6RXWK&DPSXVRQHRIWKHPRVWQDWXUDOO\EHDXWLIXOFDPSXVHVLQthe world) was passed on to the Turkish government. Nonetheless, the university retains its tra-dition of using English as the medium of instruction. Many professors at Bogazici University generally received their bachelors degree from there, and eventually pursued their advanced degrees in Europe or the United States, including at many of the Ivy Leagues universities VXFKDV+DUYDUGDQG3ULQFHWRQ,WLVWKHUHIRUHQRWVXUSULVLQJWKDWWKHTXDOLW\RIHGXFDWLRQDWBogazici University is on par with world standard. It is not an exaggeration to say that Bo-gazici is the dream university for many Turkish high school students. Most of the students who are accepted to study at Bogazici University are selected from among the best students in Turkey, making it both stimulating and challenging at the same time for anyone to study there. )RULQWHUQDWLRQDOVWXGHQWVOLNHP\VHOIZHQHHGWRKDYHKLJKVFRUHVLQWKH

English DBy Muhtor Adashev (Vice Principal, Academic Affairs)

This is my fourth year at Zaman and I have enjoyed every minute of being here so far. The rich and colourful Cambodian culture fascinates me. Since I had previously read about Cambodia, her culture and history, I felt I was in a very familiar place when I visited Angkor Wat; I was able to read each story and relive the images depicted on the stone walls.

I seek to instill the same impression in my students. Encouraging myself and my peers in the English Department, we facilitate better learning experience year by year. Obviously, academ-ic excellence and guidance have been two pillars that strengthen the process of our students DFDGHPLFDQGVRFLDOSURJUHVV(QJOLVKVXEMHFWXQLHVERWKZKLOHZHHQKDQFHRXUOLQJXLVWLFskills; we also explore different people, places and times through literature.

By Ali Yilmaz (English Teacher)

I am a teacher of English from Turkey. I have been living and travelling outside of Turkey for about 7 years now. I have a BA in English and American Studies. I came to Cambodia in July, 2013.

My hobbies are reading daily newspapers, watching popular TV shows, riding my motorbike, and visiting other countries, so that I can be introduced to new cultures. I try to visit as many countries as possible while I can. My favourite pastime activity is going out for a coffee. I think, a cup of coffee is the best company.

This year, I am the homeroom teacher of 7A and 7B, and I am teaching English Writing to grades 7 & 8. I am glad to be part of Zaman. I believe that working at ZIS will be a stepping stone in my teaching career.

By Patrick Bourke (English Teacher)

My name is Patrick Bourke and I am the newest member of the teaching team here at Zaman International School. Originally I am from the Republic of Ireland and grew up in the capital city, which is Dublin. After spending 4 years studying Journalism and Visual Media in Uni-versity College Dublin, the biggest university in Europe. As a new, fresh faced college gradu-ate with jobs few and far between, I decided to pack up and relocate to Phnom Penh. Having visited the country many times during my summer vacations from university, I knew this was the place for me and found my feet pretty quickly. Now after 5 years in the Kingdom, I have come to call Phnom Penh my home. I am looking forward to getting to know all of you over the coming months while living up to the responsibility of crafting your young minds and helping to shape your future.

I went to Hurlstone Agricultural High School, which was a rather unusual place. It consisted of a large farm on the rural-urban fringe of Sydney and featured an historic colonial property FDOOHG0DFTXDULH+RXVHZKLFKZDVVHWRQWKHWRSRIDODUJHKLOO:HZHUHQHYHUDOORZHGWRgo inside and I dont know who lived inside.) The school had two main groups of students: the boarders and the day students. The boarders most came from grazing properties in the far West of New South Wales that were more than 100 kilometres away from the nearest town. The boarders stayed in a boarding house, where many of the teachers lived too. Most of the boarders parents were sheep, cattle or wheat farmers and they didnt mix with the day students much. All students at the school had to study agriculture as well as the normal subjects. We grew vegetables, learnt to drive tractors, milked cows and herded sheep as part of our regu-lar school routine. I didnt like agriculture too much though: I preferred History and English. Overall, I would say I was a quiet student who didnt participate too much in school.

I was born in Tajikistan on a warm sunny day of September. I lived in Dushanbe for 10 years and one year in England. Subsequently, I moved to Cambodia in 2010. I came from a big fam-ily. In my spare time, I like reading, swimming, biking in the sun, going to the movies, BBQ, and visiting family and friends.

I arrived in the Kingdom late 2001 with my 2 beautiful children. Upon my arrival, I taught English at Christian International School and subsequently moved to Zaman to teach English. I taught at the High School Campus then moved to the Primary Campus when it got started and I am back here again now. Since the day I set foot in the schools here, I recognized that the teaching environment here is certainly different from that of Singapores. Being here I feel a tremendous need to teach, to educate, to inspire and be a contributor to the positive change in my students. I see a need. Cambodian students need a chance with quality education and pas-sionate teachers. Being here at ZIS I am happy to be able to in a partnership to help improve lives. I enjoy teaching and love the ripple effect my presence has on the lives of all those I touch each day. I know each day since the day I started teaching, a part of me is being carried by the students before you who now go forward to mark their place in this world.
