In last week’s Primary blog, Kate Watson-Penhall discussed the importance of building reading stamina in young students. Many Primary students enjoy reading and value their library time. Once students reach Secondary, they are less likely to read for enjoyment. Students choose to spend their free time in other ways, engaging more with friends, extra curricular activities, and technology.

We look at the recent improvements in dance and music facilities, equipment and programs at Northbridge International School Cambodia.

There have been many improvements at the Cafeteria over the summer. Our new convenient debit card system is now up and running, with a varied menu that offers a wide range of options daily for both Primary and Secondary students.

In our preparations at the start of the school year, I was reminded of a blog post I read a few months ago written by George Couros - author of the book "The Innovator's Mindset". In his post, he discussed the eight elements he regarded as necessary in today’s classrooms in order for students to develop the dispositions and literacies required to succeed.

We are delighted to share some images of a range of our new facilities that are in the very final stages of completion. We look forward to you visiting many of them in person over time to see how they are adding great value to the educational opportunities Northbridge students receive.

We are excited to share the new developments in our athletics program for this year. Northbridge has partnered with the International School of Ho Chi Minh City to create a new sports league, the ASEAN Sports & Activities Conference (ASAC).
