Northbridge International School Cambodia Grade 6 students began their exploration into gravity and inertia by dropping a penny into an empty glass. This may sound simple… at first, but they found many scientific elements needed to be considered to achieve success.
The students then moved on to the "balancing jenga blocks on top of a soda bottle" challenge. As a result Grade 6 now are aware of Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion - "An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."
Our record was balancing five jenga pieces. Wonderful persistence!
As we approach a key milestone in the academic journey of our Grade 10 students, I am pleased to share the significant strides we have made in streamlining the transition process to Grade 11 and the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP).
As the Personal Project Coordinator, one of the most rewarding aspects of my role is observing how the Personal Project allows students to develop essential skills that will benefit them long after they leave school.
With the UK university application deadline now behind us, there’s a palpable sense of excitement—along with a sense of relief on my part! Thirty of our students successfully submitted their applications, each able to choose five different universities on the UCAS application.
As students approach their final few months, the pressure to perform well intensifies. The IB Diploma Programme is known for its rigorous curriculum and high standards, making effective exam revision crucial for success. Here’s why exam revision and the upcoming mock exams are particularly important for Grade 12 students.
