At Northbridge, we want all of our children to be strong, independent and compassionate people who demonstrate our ‘caring hearts, ambitious minds’ philosophy. Sometimes in daily life, problems and conflicts arise, and we want our children to be equipped to deal with these situations fairly and peacefully.
What is conflict?
Conflict is any situation where people do not agree. Conflicts will look and sound different at different ages and in different situations.
Conflict is not necessarily a bad thing! Sometimes, it can lead to new perspectives and a deeper understanding of someone else’s point of view. We hope to show our children that it is normal and natural for disagreements to arise, but we must always deal with conflict in a caring and principled manner.
If we can support our children to resolve conflicts fairly and equally now, imagine what they can achieve later in life!
What do we do when conflict arises?
We ‘Take 5’! Take 5 is an initiative that we promote in school. It encourages children to listen to each other and discuss disagreements.
If we as a school have a common language, children can resolve conflicts with whomever they are with, as well as supporting others to resolve difficulties or problems.
What are the ‘Take 5’ steps?
How can parents support at home?
When people think about leadership, what often comes to mind are the concepts of power, decision making, delegating and innovation. Seldom does one think about care, empathy, kindness, and generosity – however these traits that highlight the emotional skills for successful and effective leadership, including by students at Northbridge International School Cambodia, are just as important.
What are the Primary Arts all about? Is it just a load of fun and messing around? It is fun, which is why we love it but there is so much more to the programme than some people might think.
Take a visit to our early learning spaces at Northbridge International School Cambodia, both inside and out, and you will observe a wealth of play activities happening. Students are interacting in playing on their own (solo play), playing with the same thing or in the same space (mirrored play) or sharing together (collaborative play).
