U11 Fobisia Parents Information Session

Thank you to all the parents who were able to attend the recent Parent Information Session for the upcoming U11 FOBISIA trip. We truly appreciate your time and support.

Our students have been training hard in swimming, athletics, football, and T-ball in preparation for this exciting event. We are incredibly excited to see them compete against seven other FOBISIA schools from across Asia.

During the session, parents were given an overview of the daily schedule and had the opportunity to learn more about the excellent facilities at the Patana Sports Resort in Thailand, where the students will be competing.

We look forward to an unforgettable experience for all involved!

Ģ����Ƶ EYFS Craft Workshop

On Wednesday, we hosted an Early Years Parent–Child craft afternoon that brought families together for a fun, spring themed workshop.

Both the children and parents had great fun trying out the Hapa Zome activity, using brightly coloured flowers to create their own nature prints. There was lots of excitement (and noise) as the children used hammers to create the patterns!

At another station, families got creative decorating photo frames with different materials which they were so proud to take home.

Finally, our photo booth activity was very popular! The children had fun making their own props and then enjoyed posing for fun pictures with their friends and family.

Thank you to all the families who joined in the fun! We hope your new keepsakes bring lots of happy memories.

Year 2 Mini Career Fair – “A Day in the Life” Exit Point

This week, Year 2 had a wonderful time celebrating the exit point of our unit “A Day in the Life.” To mark the end of the topic, the children took part in a mini career fair, where they proudly shared their learning about a variety of jobs and occupations, as well as their future aspirations with their parents and carers.

Throughout the session, the children visited different career stations and took part in a range of hands-on activities linked to different professions. It was lovely to see them confidently explaining what they had learned and discussing the careers that interest them. The event provided a valuable opportunity for the children to apply their learning in a meaningful and engaging way while also encouraging them to think about their own interests, skills and future possibilities.

We would like to extend a big thank you to the parents and carers who attended and supported the event.

We look forward to our exciting Sustainable Development Goals unit next term.

Year 4 Exit Point

We were delighted to welcome Year 4 parents into school for a very special art morning! The children were incredibly excited to share their work and become teachers for the day.

The session began with the children presenting about different artists. They spoke confidently about the techniques they had practised and how they carefully looked at shape and detail.

Next, the classroom transformed into a busy printing studio as the children led a hands-on workshop for their parents. They demonstrated how to mix a range of colours using only the primary colours, explaining the colour wheel and how new shades can be created. The children then taught their parents how to design and make their own printing stamps and experiment with different compositions to create unique artwork.

It was wonderful to see parents and children working together, sharing ideas and getting creative. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the morning such a success!

Choir and Languages Assembly

Our end of term assembly was a wonderful celebration of the talent, creativity, and diversity that makes our Primary community so special. Students and staff were treated to stunning performances from Ms Gurung’s dance troupes, with both Year 2, 3 & 4 ��and Year 5 & 6 groups taking to the stage and showcasing the hard work and dedication they have put into their routines. The Primary choir also delivered a beautiful performance, filling the room with joy and leaving the audience thoroughly entertained. Adding a truly unique and heartfelt touch to the occasion, our Leading Linguists took centre stage to interview children and teachers about their home languages, celebrating the rich linguistic heritage of our school community and reminding us all of the incredible diversity that we are so proud of at Ģ����Ƶ. It was a fitting and memorable end to the term.

Clubs Fair

We were delighted to host our Term 4 Clubs Fair this week, giving Primary & Early Years parents and children the opportunity to explore the wide and varied range of extracurricular activities on offer at Ģ����Ƶ. With over 50 clubs represented, families were able to browse the stalls, speak to club leaders, and find the perfect activities to suit their child’s interests and talents. The event was very well attended and it was fantastic to see such enthusiasm from both children and parents alike. We have been extremely pleased by the strong uptake following the fair, reflecting the excitement and engagement of our school community. Club allocations will be published after the term break, and we look forward to seeing our students dive into an exciting range of activities in Term 4.

Community: Collaborative learning

We were delighted to welcome teachers from Shree Kali Devi Higher Secondary School Kadambas, in collaboration with First Step Himalaya, for a special visit to our school. During their time with us, they participated in Level 1 Safeguarding training and spent two days observing a wide range of engaging teaching and learning experiences across both Primary and Secondary classes. From interactive lessons to student-led activities, the visit offered a rich insight into our approach to learning and student wellbeing.

The day also created a valuable platform for professional dialogue, where teachers shared ideas, reflected on best practices, and explored ways to strengthen teaching and learning within their own contexts. Opportunities like these highlight the importance of collaboration and our shared commitment to supporting education within the wider community.

It was particularly rewarding to hear the positive reflections from our visitors. As Ms Giri shared, “It was inspiring to see such engaging and student-centred learning in action. We have gained many ideas that we can take back to our own classrooms.”, capturing the spirit of openness, learning, and inspiration that defined the day. We look forward to continuing to build this meaningful partnership in the future.

Fundraise Events by House Captains

This week, our House Captains have taken the lead in organising a series of engaging, student-led activities to raise both awareness and funds for the ASMAN Scholarship, which supports our Community Partner schools by providing children with access to a full year of education. With enthusiasm and creativity, they hosted a popular “Guess the Sweets” challenge alongside the ever-entertaining “Sponge the House Captains” event, bringing laughter and generosity together for a meaningful cause. These initiatives not only highlighted the importance of supporting local education but also showcased the spirit of teamwork and leadership within our school. It has been truly inspiring to see students collaborate, participate, and contribute so positively, demonstrating a strong sense of community and compassion. Their efforts reflect a shared commitment to making a difference beyond the classroom. Fundraising activities will continue after the term break, and we look forward to building on this momentum as we support even more learners through this important initiative.

Little Yetis

This week in Little Yetis, we embraced the joy of Easter and the arrival of spring through a range of engaging, hands-on activities. The children loved taking part in our egg hunt, creating bunny ears, and exploring chick-themed crafts, all while developing their creativity and fine motor skills.

This included marble printing on egg shapes allowed children to experiment with colour, pattern, and artistic expression.

It has been lovely to see the children so engaged, curious, and excited about the changing season.

Sharing Maths Skills Across Year Groups

Year 1 sharing their Maths skills with Year 6; teaching their tall friends all about multiplication using rows and columns.

Secondary Spring CPA Showcase – an evening of dance, drama and music

Ģ����Ƶ once again brings enthusiasm and glee into a production!

By Avigya (Year 7)

“ The show was a great opportunity for students to express themselves through music and have fun!”- Ms Freeman

As the title suggests, on the evening of Thursday 2nd April the annual Spring Concert occurred, to end the term with delight and joy.

The concert ranged from students from Year 7 to 12 with some upper primary too and consisted of beautiful solos, duets and rock bands. Alongside this there were brilliant performances from the KS3 dance club, Year 7 and 8 choir and drama club who acted 2 pieces from the play Arabian nights, which they all worked extremely hard for – The Little beggar and Ali-Baba. Sanghamitta from year 7, a performer and singer reported that “ I enjoyed acting the most!” In company with the drama show the concert followed the theme Arabian Nights and most performances were closely linked with it. “ All the songs were so good!” quoted by Vedanshee in Year 8, a singer and soloist. The show was hosted by one of our creative and performing arts prefects Aditi in Year 13 ��and by Mateo at the end to invite in some comedy and finish the production with laughter.

However, the show could not be possible without the music teachers’ help. They assisted almost every song and the technician crew who managed the equipment and lights. Thank you to all who participated and engaged in the show. You all put so much time and effort and all were fantastic. Overall the night ended in great success and rejoice and we hope to achieve the same if not better results next year. As Nikhil from Year 11 (guitarist from a band performance) said, “The evening was amazing.”

Duke Of Edinburgh

By: Aarambha (year 10) and Luveena (year 9)

Last Friday on March 27th, we went to Shivapuri national park where we camped at Kakani Scout Camp for our DofE Bronze Award. Firstly, we had to weigh our bags to measure if it matches the appropriate capacity and leave it overnight.

On the first day we arrived at school at the usual time, followed by us leaving school at around 8: 30 AM for a long and cramped yet exciting journey. This experience was new to all of us but not as much as we thought, we used to go on expeditions during our time as a KS3 student!

Afterwards, we hiked 14km upwards about 454m and ate our packed lunch. It took us about 7-8 hours. Then we had some leisure time from 4:30 onwards. Afterwards, it was time to make dinner using food items the group members brought where everyone got into their groups and made their delicious food. After dinner, all of us gathered around with Ms. Lee and decided to play a game of Werewolf which gave everyone a chance to relax and socialise beyond the smaller groups. Before we went to sleep, there was a big spider in one of the rooms and 2 dogs in another room. That was a bit of a scare for everyone, but that’s how strong our community has been built, to support each other, help each other and take responsibility.

The final day we walked down 7km, roughly about 500m, which took us about 3-4 hours and we then reached school around 1 o’clock. This new experience had intrigued us, it was thrilling, tiring, exciting yet horrifying. Sometimes we all had fun and we got to socialise with each other and have a wonderful time out of our comfort zone. I think most of us would like to try for silver next year as well!

U13 FOBISIA Sports Tour

By: Luveena (year 9)

The Year 7’s and Year 8’s had a yet another fantastic FOBISIA trip over the weekend. As every year, our school has a try out, selection, and practice throughout the term. We saw fantastic progress in our community, compassion and teamwork!

In addition to our school, there were 7 other schools participating from China, Malaysia and Thailand. In athletics we saw marvelous speed and agility, therefore managed to win 15 medals in total, 2 gold, 4 silver and 9 bronze. In swimming we had 8 gold, 4 silver and 3 bronze, which totals another 15 medals.

Overall our boys team were Football Champions and came 4th in Basketball.

Our girls team were 5th in Basketball and 7th in Football

“We had a great season, over the past years I’ve been on FOBISIA, I haven’t seen as much teamwork and co-ordination among players and coaches”

Joshua, FOBISIA Athlete

“The Team did excellently in football, and we did well on all other sports, I personally took home three gold and two bronze”

Mayukh, FOBISIA Football Captain, & Athlete

“I had a great time in relay, and I medalled in all my events, I also liked to say we did great placing first in football and Mayukh was unstoppable in our matches. I’m very proud of what we’ve achieved”

Daniel, FOBISIA Athlete

“On behalf of the coaching staff, we could not be more impressed with the students’ conduct, character and competitive spirit over the course of the trip. The students carried out Ģ����Ƶ’s excellent reputation at FOBISIA and certainly made the most of the experience – developing not only as athletes but as young independent individuals and carrying away memories and friendships that they will look back on for many years to come with fondness.”

Ms. Watt

This FOBISIA season was phenomenal, and our athletes did exceptionally well individually and as a team. Great job well done to every one of our students and a big thank you to all the teachers who helped make this possible.

Student Leaders

By: Abhiroop (year 11)
This week, students from Year 11 and Year 12 took part in interviews for the 2026–27 student leadership positions, held between the 25th and 27th of March. The process offered an exciting opportunity for students to step forward, showcase their ideas, and compete for roles that play a meaningful part in shaping school life at Ģ����Ƶ.

Student leadership has long been an integral part of the Ģ����Ƶ spirit. These roles do more than represent a title, they encourage responsibility, initiative, teamwork, and a genuine commitment to service, curating healthy competition among the students. For many applicants, the process itself is already an important step in personal development and a strong addition to future CVs and university applications. This year, the leadership positions have been expanded by the addition of two new positions for Community Prefect positions. This addition reflects the school’s growing emphasis on service and giving back to the community, as well as our commitment to strengthening the relationships between our school and our community partners.

The interviewers were head of Key Stage 5; Ms. Sheldon, and Head of Secondary; Mr. Draper. The applicants all await their results on the 21st of April. The role of a student leader is not simply to hold a position, but to act with vigour, and purpose. As we approach Easter Break, Ģ����Ƶ is excited for the tenure of our new student leaders.

KS3 Awards Ceremony

The KS3 award assembly happened this Wednesday and with it came a plethora of achievements and congratulations. Something Ģ����Ƶ does excellently is celebrating all the accomplishments of its students, which was displayed by the variety of awards students received. Ranging from the house point cup, attendance, music certificates, sports day, world scholars, marvelous mentees to science week posters.

It’s such a fun event to see all the students being celebrated for all the good things they’ve done throughout the term, and the little things that they have achieved. In our assembly, we started off with house point badges, where some students got bronze (above 100), silver (above 200), gold (above 300), and some of our students even managed to get platinum which is for above 500 house points.

For the attendance celebration, we had to spin the wheel for 3 different prizes; a Vicky Stationary voucher, a Workshop Eatery voucher and a Yeti Cafe voucher. In the attendance cup of overall mentors, 9M won the cup.

For platinum individual house point badges, we had Aadvik ��7D, Avigya 7K, Laksh ��7M, Henry 8A, and Joshit 8A. Great job to all the students who did an excellent job! As for the mentor house point cup, in first place we had 7D, in second place we had 7M and in third place we had 7A.

��At Ģ����Ƶ, we strongly believe in encouraging and uplifting students to their best potential. We are proud of all our students for achieving and accomplishing all that they have!

We also said farewell to three students who are leaving at the end of term, with our traditional candle lighting ceremony. We wished them all the best in their future schools and reminded them that they are always welcome at Ģ����Ƶ and always part of the Ģ����Ƶ family.
