At Northbridge International School Cambodia, with our covered Aquatics Centre, pool facilities and specialised staff, we are very lucky to have the opportunity for our students to learn how to swim as well as improve on existing swimming skills during our PHE classes.
There is an increasing focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths) education in school curriculums all over the world, and NISC is no exception.
The Primary Years Programme as an approach to curriculum is designed to maximise students’ experiences in every aspect and last week the Grade 4 and 5 students were fortunate enough to be involved in some non-classroom-based engagements through their Action Learning Camps (ALCs).
This week the Grade 12 IB Diploma students at NISC complete a major milestone in their DP journey: the submission of the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) essay. This 1,600-word essay is the culmination of two years of reading, study and thought, centered around the question of “how do we know what we claim to know?”. Some people may feel that this question is either so obvious as to not warrant discussion, or so opaque as to be unanswerable. TOK students strive to uncover their own, and others’ cognitive biases, assumptions and intellectual blind spots in order to create a firm foundation on which to build their intellectual world as lifelong learners.
Just over two years ago, Cambodia had its first Covid-19 case, and since that time, our students at Northbridge have being demonstrating their resilience, adjusting to new ways of learning, and continuing to strive to achieve their best. They should be commended for their adaptability and the overall positivity they have maintained.
There is so much new technology entering the education sector these days it is almost hard to keep track of. Here at Northbridge, we strive to review and refine what we use in class constantly. To assist with this, we use the SAMR model which is a framework created by Dr. Ruben Puentedura to categorise four different types of technology integration in the classroom.
