Our second Parent Phonics Workshop at Northbridge International School Cambodia saw many parents of students in Early Learning to Grade 2 joining in with some exciting, hands-on activities to help to develop phonics understanding in children.

Northbridge International School Cambodia students from Grade 12 have been bringing to an end their Internal Assessment in science. Very interesting investigations were carried out this semester by our seniors with the guidance of the DP Science teachers. Their results will be submitted for external moderation next year.

On the weekend of 8-9 December, the Northbridge International School Cambodia Nagas football teams took part in the 8th annual Human Rights Football tournament in every division from U10 to U19.

Some parents at Northbridge International School Cambodia may have heard about occupational therapy but are not quite sure how it can support your student/child. Others might have been referred to an occupational therapist but do not understand why, especially since your student/child does not have an occupation yet. Finally, some of you may see that your student/child is struggling with certain skills, but do not know that an occupational therapist can help. If you fit into any of these groups, we have good news for you!

This past weekend our youngest Nagas athletes took part in the 3rd annual Nord Anglia South East Asia Games. Luckily, this year Northbridge International School Cambodia was hosting the games, which meant many families and friends could come watch all of our athletes compete.

Jefta Timmer was only 10 years old when she moved from her home in the Netherlands to India with her family. While she knew she would be leaving behind her old home, her childhood friends and her favourite foods, she had no idea that she would also be leaving behind her old perspective of the world forever.

Playing competitive sports can teach Northbridge International School Cambodia students many positive social behaviours and life skills, but above all they realise that true competition is about working on themselves.

Learning phonics allows children to build a solid foundation of understanding of how words work, which allows them to become great readers and writers. It is an integral part of learning for our lower Primary students at Northbridge International School Cambodia, and we have been working with parents on how they can support their children at home.

On Saturday 17 November, the Northbridge International School Cambodia Nagas Swim Team participated in their first international swim meet of the season hosted at ISPP. This swim meet was very challenging with 12 schools from Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia and about 293 swimmers. Our swimmers spent the whole day swimming up to nine events including the relays in a 11 hour session which combined both short and long course swims.

On the evening of 24 October 2018, 24 lucky students and 3 staff from Northbridge International School Cambodia started a long journey to Shamba Kipara camp in Tanzania. This was the start of their epic one week adventure on the Nord Anglia Global Campus Worldwide Expedition Programme that was to include helping to build a school, trekking to a waterfall, working with the locals to install solar lights and build goat sheds, and a safari spectacular.

We, as educators at Northbridge International School Cambodia, believe that incorporating a regular dose of current events into everyday lessons has a multitude of benefits. Research indicates that for students to become competent lifelong learners, they must learn how to use nonfiction materials to expand their knowledge base, solve problems, and make decisions.

On 17-18 November, the Northbridge International School Cambodia Nagas Senior Volleyball teams traveled to Ho Chi Minh City to compete in the ASAC tournament at ISHCMC. This tournament was a great level of competition and the Nagas held their own over the three days of play.

The incorporation of technology in the mathematics classrooms at Northbridge International School Cambodia is an essential tool for students to build 21st century skills. In addition, students are now preparing for employment opportunities that do not currently exist. As a result the ability to use technology in solving problems has become a strong transferable skill.

Technology in schools such as Northbridge International School Cambodia can be used in a number of ways, mainly to (a) substitute for traditional instruction, (b) change and transform instruction, or (c) redefine how kids learn and showcase that learning.

Welcome to the monthly update from the Northbridge International School Cambodia Parent Council. First of all, we would like to express our sincere thanks to all parents who were involved in this year's Cultural Day celebrations. You helped make this wonderful event for the whole school a huge success by contributing both amazing performances and fantastic food.
