If you’ve ever wondered why there aren’t always hundreds of photos of the secondary group, there’s a simple explanation… when they’re working, they’re seriously working, and when they’re having fun the coaches are usually out on the field joining in instead of holding a camera. Secondary life tends to move a little too fast for perfectly staged photos!
It’s been fantastic few weeks with this group.
Academically, the learners have been pushing hard. With IGCSEs currently underway and our foundation learners working toward their next milestones, the focus and commitment in the classroom has been impressive. They continue to support and motivate one another, which makes a huge difference during these more demanding academic periods.
Our PBL journey has also been incredibly interactive. The learners have been researching and designing their own hydroponic systems, and watching their ideas take shape has been amazing. The creativity, problem-solving, and practical thinking coming out of these designs is seriously impressive, and we’re getting closer to turning those plans into something real on campus.
One unexpected highlight this term has been Thai class. What started as something new has quickly become a favourite, with plenty of laughs and a great energy in the room. It’s been wonderful to see the learners embracing the language and culture so enthusiastically.
Secondary have also been busy transforming their classroom space, adding fresh colours, stickers, and artwork that they chose themselves. The room now really reflects their personalities and has become a place they’re proud to call their own.
Another proud moment has been Book Club. The secondary group jumped into it with such enthusiasm that they ended up inspiring the primary learners to start their own book club too. Watching the younger ones follow their lead was something really special.
One of the things that truly stands out about this group is how naturally they support the younger learners. Whether it’s helping with coding, explaining tricky concepts, or simply encouraging them, secondary learners are always willing to step in where they can.
And of course, there’s still plenty of outdoor madness during breaks. Secondary are great sports and often end up joining in with primary games like Capture the Flag when they get called over to play. It’s one of those simple moments that shows the strong sense of community across the campus.
A special shoutout to the secondary learners as well. After their visit to Bilay House Orphanage, they brainstormed ideas on how we could improve the garden there. Over the weekend, Miss Terri and Mr Vern went back to put their ideas into action… and success! 🌱
It’s incredibly rewarding to see their ideas turn into something real that can benefit others. Well done to all of them for the thought, care, and creativity they put into helping make it happen! 👏
Secondary really are a huge part of what makes this campus special. They’re thoughtful, capable, supportive, and full of potential. It’s a privilege to watch them grow and develop, and we’re excited to see where their journey takes them next.
