Probability Games
"After 6 weeks of planning, collaborating, and creating, students in grade 6 finally showcased Probability Games. This was the culminating project to show their learning from an inter-disciplinary study in Math and Design class. Their goal was to create "fair games" with an equal chance of winning and losing. It was a busy morning with lots of students from PYP and MYP visiting to play their games and enjoy the prizes. Congratulations to all the grade 6 students for their hard work over the course of this unit!"

Athletic Council - Football Tournament
The NISC Athletic Council held a friendly football tournament last weekend, hosting athletes from around Phnom Penh. The theme was "NISC World cup" and each team represented a country of their choosing. It was an exciting day with many great matches, many of which were played in the rain. All the teams played well and in the end team France won the tournament and took home Gold. Thank you to all the athletes and teams who supported the event and all the athletic council members who volunteered to make it a success.

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.
