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).

Northbridge International School Cambodia Dance Teacher Ms Yabei recently visited The Juilliard School in New York to discuss our dance programme and new Dance Studio.

Northbridge International School Cambodia students have once again achieved strong results in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme for the 2017/18 academic school year. Northbridge’s average score this year is more than three points higher than the IB global average, widening the gap between ourselves and other IB schools around the world.

Using the term STEAM versus STEM continues to be an ongoing debate among educators. In his article, NAE-MIT Program Regional Lead for Southeast Asia, Jack Cooper, tells us the importance of having the A in STEAM.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you put about two hundred middle school and high school students in a few classrooms and told them to debate world issues and try to figure out solutions for them? At NISCMUN, the first MUN Conference in Nord Anglia Education, you would get educated debate and solutions that would work in the real world.

It has been encouraging to see how students in Grade 5 have risen to the challenge of the PYP Exhibition. They have spent time finding out their passion, how this links to a global issue and what their creative expression will be around this issue.

An educational fair for more than 200 Cambodian Children's Fund (CCF) children was held on Saturday 28 April at Northbridge International School Cambodia (NISC).

This week we have returned to a range of activities and events across the school. This began with our MRISA Senior Football competition. On Thursday we had a visiting clarinet player from Juilliard for the day and then our Korean Cultural Day. In addition our Grade 12 students have been preparing for their final exams which begin today. We wish them well.
