Congratulation to the Northbridge International School Cambodia Grade 12 Visual Arts students who opened their end-of-program exhibition on the 9th of March.
This exhibition was developed by making, investigating, critically analysing, and appreciating differing art forms. Each collection has a coherent thread expressing a variety of topics and is a credit to the students' hard work and dedication.
The exhibition is only 40% of the coursework the students need to complete as part of the program. Over the past 18 months, these talented artists produced this exhibition and documented their experiments, developed new skills, and critically and conceptually investigated artists.
This exhibition was also enjoyed by the whole school community, who were considerate as they walked around and enjoyed learning more about our Grade 12 Visual Arts students. Well done and thank you to all those involved.
The Visual Arts permeate all facets of human creation, expression, communication, and knowledge and is essential to daily life. The arts give us the tools to explore our reality and what it is to be human. The arts also give us the chance to share our experiences, understandings, and passion with others.
As a result, the arts help shape our personal and societal identities while offering chances for intercultural discourse and exchange.
Are you a believer… or a non-believer?
Some people start by subtracting: 230 minus 220 to get 10. Then, 10 multiplied by 0.5 equals 5. Believer status confirmed.
As we approach a key milestone in the academic journey of our Grade 10 students, I am pleased to share the significant strides we have made in streamlining the transition process to Grade 11 and the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP).
As the Personal Project Coordinator, one of the most rewarding aspects of my role is observing how the Personal Project allows students to develop essential skills that will benefit them long after they leave school.
With the UK university application deadline now behind us, there’s a palpable sense of excitement—along with a sense of relief on my part! Thirty of our students successfully submitted their applications, each able to choose five different universities on the UCAS application.
