As always we ask that you consider the safety of your children when making a decision to try and get to school when the roads are closed or full of crowds. To those parents of A Level and IGCSE exams students thank you very much for making sensible decisions about your children staying on this side of town when necessary. It is always difficult during these important weeks when political situations flare but we always say safety is paramount for everyone here at TBS. I shall be away for the next two weeks as I will be in the United Kingdom attending a conference, carrying out further recruitment and doing an inspection. Mrs. Lord Head of Primary or Mr. Batterbury, Head of Secondary, will be happy to answer any questions. Read More

KS2 "Hoodwinked" Production  TBS gave Hollywood a run for its money last week with KS2 giving its own very entertaining version of the Robin Hood story. The production was called "Hoodwinked" and showcased Primary's fantastic acting and singing abilities. A busy schedule of 4 performances were done over the Thursday and Friday of last week with KS2 students giving it their all. Well done to all who took part and especially the staff of TBS who all contributed to making it a wonderfully entertaining show.Click here to see images Year 2 Meet the Buzzing Bees  On Monday 19th March, as part of their Science topic on minibeasts, Year 2 went off to ICIMOD’s Herbal Garden to investigate plants and animals in the environment. The Herbal Garden is an amazing research centre where scientists are exploring different types of plants and animals to see which thrive best in mountain climates. This is to help the people in the Himalayas to live healthily and sustainably. Year 2 got a chance to explore the garden and to get a close up look at the different plants and herbs that grow there.Click here to see videos and images International AwardWhat is the International Award?The International Award is the name under which The Duke of Edinburgh Award is provided in over 30 countries. The British School Kathmandu is a registered provider of The International Award and offers pupils in year 10 and above, the opportunity to participate in this world respected Award programme. The International Award encourages and celebrates the contributions of young people in developing their life skills and involvement in the wider community. There are three levels of Award (Bronze, Silver & Gold) each requiring greater time commitment and perseverance. The youngest age to start is 14 (for Bronze Award) and young people have until 25 to complete any of the Award levels. There are 4 sections at each level; Service, Physical Recreation, Skill and Adventurous Journey, which must be completed. Bronze AwardLatest AssessmentThe start of February saw year 10 out on the Kathmandu Valley rim, completing their International Award Bronze Assessment. Starting from Kakani they trekked for 2 days along the Valley rim, with views of Langtang and Ganesh Himal for company. During the 2 day expedition participants were assessed on navigation, campcraft and cooking skills, as well as demonstrating teamwork and co-operation in completing the self supported trek. All groups successfully completed the Assessment and got back proud, if not a little tired and sore, with their sights on completing the remaining sections to achieve the Bronze Award. Well done all Silver AwardLatest AssessmentStudents from Year 11 have just completed their Silver Assessment Journey for their International Award. They spent three days trekking from the Kathmandu Valley rim, back to Kathmandu along the lesser used southern route. As well as great weather and sunsets, the groups enjoyed open air cooking, talking to the locals and carrying out their project work. Congratulations to them all. Gold AwardLatest AssessmentTwelve Year 13 students have taken part in their Gold International Award training expedition around the Kathmandu Valley rim. Their route took them from Nagarkot and Jhule towards Chisapani and then down to Sunderijal. They were fully self sufficient carrying all their own food, clothes and camping gear. The students enjoyed getting to grips with pitching tents, cooking on gas stoves and the looks of the locals, not used to seeing trekkers carrying their own kit. Although the weather was mixed, with some heavy rain, the students coped well with the expedition and have all now a much better idea of what is required for the Assessed Expedition which comes up in next term. click here to see images |
