Our Nagas athletes traveled to Ho Chi Minh City this past weekend to represent us at the ISHCMC swim meet. The team of 21 swimmers spanned from Kindergarten to Grade 9 making us so proud as they raced against 400 competitors from Southeast Asia.
Every single athlete improved their overall times and some even came away with medals. In total our team earned 4 golds, 3 silvers and 11 bronze through the weekend.
A special shout out goes to the following athletes:
8 and under relay (Alirio, Barnaby and Elsa):
15 and over girls relay (Yun Seo, Oh Kyoung, Natasia and Leila) *Ohkyoung is 12, Leila and Yun Seo are 13 and they had to swim in a tough age group.
Natasia Escubil (Grade 9): 1 Gold, 4 Bronze plus the relay
Ohkyoung Park (Grade 7): 1 Gold, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze plus the relays
Barnaby Groom (Kindergarten): 1 Gold plus the relays
Leila Escubil (Grade 8): 1 Gold plus the relays

Last week, our second annual NISC Cup kicked off, with four schools and over one hundred students facing off to see who would be taking home the silverware on offer in separate boys’ and girls’ competitions. Last year CIA girls’ team won a thrilling final and were hoping that the cup would be returning to their school for a second year in a row, while our own NISC boys’ team were hoping to retain their hard won 2023 title.
The other week I was in Bangkok at the ASAC Basketball Tournament that is open for Grade 6 – 8 students from 9 competing schools across South East Asia. It gave me some time to reflect on the benefits and opportunities that our Northbridge students can access that will develop them holistically and physically.
Here at Northbridge International School Cambodia, we have the privilege of having an amazing 25 meter undercover swimming pool on campus. The school swim program is embedded in our curriculum from EL2 to Grade 10.
