The Northbridge International School Cambodia Student Council began this year with each class deciding who would represent them. The students had to complete an application, and in some classes, there was even an election!
When asked what their role is the representatives agreed the following;
· Improving the school
· Representing your class and school
· Collecting your classmates ideas
· Developing and being a better leader
This semester, the representatives organised Spirit Week and STUCO Day which was held virtually.
When deciding who will be a representative for special events, a name was drawn randomly from a hat. For International day, Sophie’s was selected. “I was scared that I will forget my lines, but I decided to take a risk and tried all my best efforts to say whatever I remembered in a smooth, loud, and confident voice, and my hard work did payoff!” reflected Sophie.
DJ O’Connell and Khendy Kao attended the Remembrance Ceremony with Mr Richard and Mr Clarke.
Currently, the STUCO team are designing a t-shirt so they’ll be more recognizable around school. Make sure you say “Hi!” to them, share your ideas and watch out for next semester’s events!
Action Learning Camps, or ALCs, are often cherished highlights of students' school years. Memories of playing team sports, roasting marshmallows, and sharing whispered conversations into the early hours of the morning leave lasting impressions. But ALCs are more than just fun—they're foundational experiences that support students’ growth in a number of ways.
We often associate gratitude with iconic moments, such as when our children are born healthy, we are offered a good job, a family member or pet survives an illness or operation, or when our children graduate from school. Events like these can be very moving and emotional, and sometimes even life changing. However, what if we made it a habit to include gratitude in our daily lives?
Lots of research points to a very common problem in student learning: Too much information!
Students can become overwhelmed and consequently processing and memory retention can become difficult. Not just for students with executive function challenges, or neurodiversity; for many neurotypical students too! Especially younger students. Feeling overwhelmed can also trigger stress and anxiety.
Reading is an essential skill for success in school and in life. It is also a skill that can be developed and nurtured at home, from an early age. You as parents and caregivers play a vital role in helping your child develop a love of reading.
