Recently, our secondary production, Clue: High School Edition, had its run from May 20-21 in The Stage (Primary Cafeteria). Needless to say, our students thoroughly enjoyed the experience of performing in front of a live audience and bringing the story to life, after experiencing virtual performances since the start of 2020.
Clue is a mystery that follows six guests as they are invited to Boddy Manor. Once their host arrives, and subsequently dies, it’s up to them to figure out who killed Mr. Boddy, in what room and with what weapon.
The secondary production is a collaborative performance, made up of Grade 10 students from all the arts disciplines - drama, dance, music, and visual arts. As it’s a part of the curriculum, all students participate in a variety of roles - musicians, choreographers, actors, designers, directors and more. This year, we also had Grade 10 students create our promotional material in their Design classes (including a spooky trailer video featured on our school Facebook page).
The Grade 10 Drama students spent an immense amount of time both in and outside of class to bring this production to life. Many rehearsals were called after school, during the start of Khmer New Year, and some weekends to ensure that the show was the best that it could be.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first-ever live Secondary production. From cast and crew, both students and adults, we appreciate your support for the arts!

The readers of this article have all likely experienced a ‘traditional’ exam setting. Rows of desks, pen and paper, and exam papers that are primarily constructed to test knowledge and recall of the course content. There is certainly some value to an exam paper that assesses a student’s knowledge, but ultimately, knowledge and recall represents a very narrow range of the skills actually needed in the modern world. Recognising this, the IB has taken an revolutionary look at assessment in the middle years, with the eAssessment.
