As members of the Northbridge International School Cambodia community, it is important that when we ask our students or teenage children for their opinion, and that we listen and act where appropriate.
Student ‘voice’ is critical. Done well, it enables students to take charge of their education. When we go from simply listening to honoring and valuing, voice enables students and develops their comfortability to be a leader.
Ainee Shehzed Salim, from Karachi Grammar School, noted in an interesting article that:
The overall desired result of student voice is that our students positively develop their ATL skills and IB Learner Profile attributes as active, respectful, questioning and productive citizens.

Recently all Grades 6 to 10 students had the opportunity to feedback into how we are organising our virtual learning days. Many students asked for a clear picture of their summative assessment commitments. As a result teachers have worked to compile an MYP Summative Assessment Map.
This is now helping students balance their workload for the remainder of this academic year. As a positive long term development, an Assessment Map will now be a permanent resource created for students.
Parents, please visit the Map with your son/daughter. This is one excellent way that parents and teens can work together on school work. Organisation tips from Mum or Dad are always helpful.

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.
In a rapidly evolving world, where artificial intelligence, automation, and environmental challenges reshape our societies, the value of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education has never been greater. At Northbridge International School Cambodia (NISC), we believe that fostering creativity and innovation is at the heart of preparing students for the future.
The transition into Grade 11 is more than a step up academically; it is a transformative phase where students begin to develop life skills essential for their future.
The move from primary to secondary school is a big deal—not just for students, but for parents too. The transition isn’t something that happens overnight or in a single day. It’s a journey that stretches across the whole year, and it's one that should be taken very seriously. It's true that change can feel daunting, but when a transition programme is executed well and with the right support, this can be one of the most exciting and transformative stages in children's education.
