Here at Northbridge International School Cambodia, semester two of LEAP has got off to a great start with over 50 activities being offered for both students and parents. We are proud to offer a variety of clubs such as gardening, board games and clay art in a safe and supportive environment. The activities are provided by mixture of staff members and external providers.
Learning Enrichment Activities Program (LEAP) is an after school program at Northbridge International School Cambodia that provides quality co-curricular activities in Arts, Sports, Technology, Languages, Academic Learning and Service to the students and parents in our community.
The purpose of LEAP is to support and allow the students to take part in new and exciting activities and offers the chance to learn different skills, such as ballet and taekwondo.
LEAP also offers the chance for students from different grades to meet and work together, making new friends and connections.
We provide LEAP activities to expand learning and skills but also to encourage children to serve their community. This is important as it teaches the students to think of their responsibility to others and their impact on their school and the wider community.
If you are interested in finding out more about the clubs we offer, all of the registration forms are on the school website or you can email Ms Hannah directly: hannah.gaffney@nisc.edu.kh
Neurodiversity refers to the natural differences in how our brains and nervous systems function, highlighting the diversity in how we all think, learn, and interact with the world. Hence, it encompasses conditions or traits that differ from what is typically considered "neurotypical."
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.
Academic excellence is at the forefront of education, and whilst our duty as teachers is to foster this, we also have the responsibility to open students’ eyes to the wider world and their social responsibility within it.
Service- learning, or service as action, combines in school learning with supporting local communities, encouraging students to independently research local issues and take action to support those in need.
World Mental Health Day raises awareness of mental health issues around the world. It is an international day for global mental health education, awareness and advocacy against social stigma.
