We are proud to announce that Northbridge International School Cambodia will be developing a new world-class Aquatics Centre that will be the centre of our Nagas swim programme. The grand opening is set for August 2020.

Welcome to the monthly update from the Northbridge International School Cambodia Parent Council, which follows their regular meeting and discussion. Here are the topics that were addressed at this month's meeting.

During our How We Express Ourselves unit in Grade 3 at Northbridge International School Cambodia, students have been gaining new knowledge and developing their skills. We learnt about famous artists as well as why and how they created their art.

The Northbridge International School Cambodia Student Council (STUCO) consists of members who are not only willing to lead the student body but who believe that small actions impact our community. More than a leadership badge, STUCO is a service. Their purpose is not limited to representing the student body during board meetings and leading assemblies, there is much more our students do to provide the best service to the school.

Grade 8 design students are currently researching toys and looking at questions such as, 'What makes a toy popular?', 'What innovations have taken place over time?' and more. This is because the Grade 8 students will be making toys for some very special clients, Northbridge International School Cambodia Kindergarten students!

Everyday at Northbridge International School Cambodia, children write; whether they are making notes, typing on their devices, sending emails or recording their learning. Since this is a skill we use daily, it is vital that we encourage children to develop a passion for writing and to understand that they are writers, no matter their age.

Parenting the digital generation is a challenge. Your children at Northbridge International School Cambodia usually have smartphones, laptops and access to the internet. Stories abound about social media problems, cyber-bullying, online gaming disorders, and dangers for children and teenagers.

Nobel Peace Prize winner and world renowned statesman, President Nelson Mandela, when asked about children, said that whenever he was with energetic young people, he felt confident of a bright future for his country as well as the rest of the world. His strong conviction that children, including students at Northbridge International School Cambodia, are the people who will lead us into the future is more important now than ever before.

Banned Books Week, being held at Northbridge International School Cambodia from 30 September to 4 October, is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. Typically held during the last week of September, it spotlights current and historical attempts to censor books in libraries and schools.

Firstly I would like to congratulate our Nagas Swim Team at Northbridge International School Cambodia after a great performance in the recent home swim meet. A lot of parents and students are looking for their passion, and swimming is a lovely and comfortable activity to consider. It could be suitable for all of us. Let me describe it.

Every year, Northbridge International School Cambodia is fortunate to have universities visit from all over the world. They come from Europe, Asia, North America and Australia in the first semester and then the United Kingdom tends to be more of a focus in semester two.

Calculating is just one of the many skills that students must learn in order to be great maths learners. At Northbridge International School Cambodia, because we teach the IB curriculum, our students learn through an inquiry approach where they ask questions, wonder and explore different pathways - and this doesn’t stop as we enter the maths classroom.

This past weekend, Saturday 14 September, Northbridge International School Cambodia held the first ISSAPP competitive swim meet of the year. The Nagas came out in full force with an excellent day of swimming.

Thank you to all the parents who attended the latest Northbridge International School Cambodia Parent Coffee Morning on Friday 13 September where I gave key updates and information on the strategic plan, Ms Kate presented on how parents can more effectively read with their child, and Mr Chris discussed how to best set up an environment for your child to study at home.

There is abundant research that links student success with parent involvement. However, as with all things this sits on a spectrum that varies from showing an interest to actively attending school events and parent teacher conferences. At Northbridge International School Cambodia we would like parents to remain engaged in their child's education as they continue their journey through the Secondary school chapter of their life.

Inquiry learning and teaching is not just a block in the day at Northbridge International School Cambodia. It is an approach to learning that not only helps our young people to achieve academically, but also socially and emotionally.

Reading is the basis of so much of our learning at Northbridge International School Cambodia, and is essential for success, both academically and in the wider world. We want to equip our children with the foundational skills to allow them to be able to learn in a transdisciplinary way.

Introducing the many new resources added to Northbridge International School Cambodia over the summer of 2019, including a 3D printer plus new tools and hot wire cutter in the Makerspace, new books in the Primary Book Room, a new drill in the Design room, an AED unit outside Nurse Cherry's office, toys in Early Learning, a new fume cupboard in the Science Lab, and new iPads and MacBooks.
