Student leadership plays a pivotal role in a Primary Years Programme (PYP) primary school such as that at Northbridge International School of Cambodia.

The inquiry-based teaching on the Primary Years Programme (PYP) means asking effective questions that underpin how we nurture students to be life-long learners and support our students to understand how they learn. The IB advocates several ways families can support their children as PYP Learners.

It is with great pleasure that I can share with our Northbridge International School Cambodia community about an organization and initiative that is close to my heart as an educator. It is my firm belief that the students of today will become the agents of change to create and foster a better world for all.

On Tuesday, June 6th, Northbridge International School Cambodia hosted the PYP exhibition, a fantastic celebration of learning. The fifth-grade students demonstrated remarkable passion, commitment, and resilience.

When people think about leadership, what often comes to mind are the concepts of power, decision making, delegating and innovation. Seldom does one think about care, empathy, kindness, and generosity – however these traits that highlight the emotional skills for successful and effective leadership, including by students at Northbridge International School Cambodia, are just as important.

What are the Primary Arts all about? Is it just a load of fun and messing around? It is fun, which is why we love it but there is so much more to the programme than some people might think.

The students and teachers of Northbridge International School Cambodia have been involved in opportunities during the year to reaffirm the importance of 'play' in our everyday lives.

Approaches to learning are essential for young children's school readiness and early school success. At Northbridge International School Cambodia, we know that positive learning approaches, such as self-management, communication, social, thinking and research skills, are associated with higher levels of early school achievement.

In the Primary Years Programme (PYP), including at Northbridge International School Cambodia, 'action' is considered to be both an application of learning and an opportunity for students to engage in a form of contribution or service.

When we look back on our own childhood, like the ones children at Northbridge International School Cambodia are currently enjoying, what are the experiences that we remember most fondly?

With more than 40 different nationalities and 20 languages represented on campus, Northbridge International School Cambodia welcomes and values all linguistic and cultural backgrounds brought by the students, the parents and the school community. Our mission is to inspire dynamic, respectful and compassionate global citizens, and we believe that our multilingual school environment helps accomplish it.

At Northbridge International School Cambodia, our skills for English learning start early when we listen to our families and teachers speak in English.  We hear the sounds (phonetics) that culminate in the English language – words, sentences, and types of texts where we put sentences together for different purposes.

Many events have occurred this year at Northbridge International School Cambodia that have been missing for a few years, parents in classrooms for meetings, packed audiences for our Secondary production, International Day, numerous sports events, overseas cultural trips and countless local field trips. All these events have one thing in common, an opportunity for new experiences.

In today’s ever changing world of education, including at Northbridge International School Cambodia, we hear a lot about the importance of STEM or STEAM activties. But what are these and why are they deemed to be so important?

Take a visit to our early learning spaces at Northbridge International School Cambodia, both inside and out, and you will observe a wealth of play activities happening. Students are interacting in playing on their own (solo play), playing with the same thing or in the same space (mirrored play) or sharing together (collaborative play).

For those of you who joined us for the Festival of Lights you will have noticed a group of Northbridge International School Cambodia Primary students that were comperes at the front of the stage introducing each act. They did a fantastic job of joining the different acts together and introducing each one in such a clear and confident way.

Studies show that a family's engagement has a direct positive impact on a child's learning success at any school, including Northbridge International School Cambodia.

Being the Primary Student Leadership Leader at Northbridge International School Cambodia has put me in a position to bloom as a leader because of the transformational student leadership skills and style that our Student Council (STUCO) seem to embody so beautifully.
