HPL Parent Workshop – Learning Together

It was wonderful to welcome parents to NCBIS for our latest High Performance Learning (HPL) Parent Workshop. As HPL continues to be embedded throughout our school culture, the session explored how the VAAs and ACPs can be applied across a range of real-life challenges and learning experiences.

The highlight of the event was the ultimate challenge: Parents vs Teachers vs Students! Through five rounds of problem-solving tasks and teamwork challenges, participants put their HPL skills to the test. In the end, our students emerged as champions, demonstrating outstanding collaboration, resilience, and high-performance thinking.

Congratulations to our winning students, and a heartfelt thank you to all the parents and teachers who participated and helped make the event such a success. Together, we continue to embody our NCBIS ethos of Bringing Out the Best in Everyone.

HPL in the Dutch Stream – ACP Linking & Generalisation

Our Dutch Stream students were excited to revisit the sunflowers they planted earlier in the year and were amazed by how much they had grown! One sunflower had become so tall that its flower reached into the olive tree. 🌳🌻

As they observed the plants, students discussed the differences in their growth and explored possible explanations. Why had some sunflowers grown taller than others? Could it be due to their location, the soil, accidental damage, or even differences between the seeds?

By making connections, considering different possibilities, and applying their prior knowledge, students demonstrated the ACPs of Linking and Generalisation. Most importantly, they celebrated the growth and development of every sunflower, appreciating that each one had flourished in its own unique way.

Year 1 Plant Explorers

In Year 1, our students have been learning about different plants, the parts of a plant, and why each part is important. Using their phonics knowledge and artistic skills, they carefully labelled a plant and wrote simple sentences explaining the role of each part.

It was wonderful to see their growing understanding of the natural world while developing their literacy and creativity skills.

U14 Girls Show Determination and Team Spirit!

Our U14 Girls Volleyball team took on a strong MES side, the runners-up in the recent CISSA tournament, and delivered an impressive performance.

The girls displayed excellent teamwork and attacking volleyball throughout the match. After narrowly losing the opening two sets, they showed remarkable resilience and determination to win the final set and finish on a high.

Competing so strongly against such talented opposition is a fantastic achievement and a testament to the progress, commitment, and spirit of the team. We are incredibly proud of their effort and attitude.
