MRISA AX/STEAM - Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Last week we had a team of 25 NISC students traveling to ISHCMC in Vietnam to take part in the MRISA Arts Exchange (AX) and STEAM Fair.
We are tremendously proud of our students, not only for producing great results and showing off their creativity and collaboration, but for representing the school in a positive way.
Students involved in Visual Arts workshops produced some beautiful artworks that were displayed in a gallery exhibition, while our Dance, Drama and Music participants put on an incredible show that was very well-received by the audience.
As for our STEAM teams, Johnny, Harry and Vong Vong were part of the team that won the Passive Amplifier build challenge and took home some medals, while our Jnr. STEAM team (Por Yi, Gyubin, Bovee, Oh Kyoung and Ryan) won first place in the lego robotics obstacle course challenge.
We are very pleased with the success of our teams and it shows the strength of our Arts and STEAM culture at our school. Thanks to all students and teachers involved in this successful trip!

The other week I was in Bangkok at the ASAC Basketball Tournament that is open for Grade 6 – 8 students from 9 competing schools across South East Asia. It gave me some time to reflect on the benefits and opportunities that our Northbridge students can access that will develop them holistically and physically.
Academic excellence is at the forefront of education, and whilst our duty as teachers is to foster this, we also have the responsibility to open students’ eyes to the wider world and their social responsibility within it.
Service- learning, or service as action, combines in school learning with supporting local communities, encouraging students to independently research local issues and take action to support those in need.
World Mental Health Day raises awareness of mental health issues around the world. It is an international day for global mental health education, awareness and advocacy against social stigma. World Mental Health Day was first celebrated in 1992 at the initiative of the World Federation for Mental Health, a global mental health organization with members and contacts in more than 150 countries. This year, the World Health Organisation (WHO) is uniting with partners to highlight the vital connection between mental health and work.
Student leadership is a cornerstone of personal and community growth. By developing leadership skills early on, students gain confidence, responsibility, and the ability to inspire others—qualities that will serve them well throughout their lives.
