At Northbridge, we value the importance of the use of technology to enhance the teaching and learning experience. We had an amazing start last year developing our unique eLearning vision that follows our school value statements.
We believe that technology is a great tool to empower our teachers and learners to be creative and productive in a blended environment. Aiming to follow our new eVision, we have made a huge efforts to keep up with the continues changes of the IT world.
We have strengthened our network to support the use of devices, we have extended our access to technology to students in the Primary section having class sets of iPads in kindergarten, Grades 1, 4, and 5, and extended our 1:1 iPad program to grades 2 and 3; plus our BYOD program from grades 4 to 12. We also updated our teachers’ devices in order to provide them with tools to also model technology usage.
We are proud to see our students developing more skills through this partnership of our irreplaceable teaching strategies and modern technology tools.
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.
