On a very hot Friday afternoon of 29th March, the Northbridge International School Cambodia Grade 6 students braved the heat for two hours to showcase their final Game of Chance solutions at a Carnival theme event in the Secondary walkway.
Their entertaining event was open to all students from Grade 2 and up, in order for Grade 6 to gather as much user data as possible through surveying the participants. The aim of the Interdisciplinary Maths and Design task was to achieve a fair solution that did not favour the ‘house’ or the player.
The combined knowledge of Maths and Design pushed students to delve more deeply into their probability theories and complete authentic ‘play’ tests on their final solutions in the lab to see if the Maths equations matched the real life solution. A general finding was that any technical glitches or imbalances created an unfair game and we had an interesting discussion about man-made errors in automated processes.
Students relished the challenge of trying to achieve the best aesthetics and the fairest and most challenging game design as the top prize was Japanese Mochi ice creams for two teams from each grade class of 6A and 6B. They voted for this as their prize.
Collaborating with set groups pushed some students out of their comfort zones and a lot of reflection and learning took place in regards to individual key strengths and areas for improvements in their approaches to learning and learner profiles. Communication skills were key as was being principled.
It was a proud moment to see how much effort the classes put in to organising prizes for their carnival participants and the pride they took in engaging with the school community with a project they had great autonomy in. Independent learning was highly evident in this collaborative unit and well disguised as students had so much fun while working together.
Teenagers, including at Northbridge International School Cambodia, are at a crucial stage in their lives as they try to navigate the complexities of growing up. They are faced with the challenge of balancing academic demands, peer pressure, and family expectations, all while trying to discover their own identity and purpose in life.
After becoming a father for the second time on NYE 2022, I was able to re-evaluate my lifestyle and reflect on how to improve myself for my family, my community, including at Northbridge International School Cambodia, and the planet.
For school year 2022-2023, Northbridge International School Cambodia installed some updates in the Secondary Science Laboratory Classrooms that the NISC Health and Safety Audit Committee has been working on from the previous school year based on the Nord Anglia Regional Manager on Health and Safety suggestions.
For the last several months grade 10 students at Northbridge International School Cambodia have been thinking about their futures and the pathways they intend to take both next year in the DP and subsequently after.
