nrich.maths.orgLatest Newsletter7th March 2014 Dear Parents,
Thank you to all those parents and friends who have been involved in TBS Eco week. A great deal of work went into todays Eco Festival from all concerned and it was well worth it. The cycle/walk to school day today was very well supported and, even those who came in cars but walked the last section of their journeys (in some cases a tiny last section!), showed their support for the initiative and we gave away more stickers than ever before. Similarly, no paper day saw a great deal of effort from teachers, children and students across the school and it has raised awareness of the size of our daily carbon footprint. The creative, fun and thoughtful stands which were organised for Eco Festival were perhaps the most visible part of the week – they were amazing with a great deal of thought and effort going into them! - but there has also been a great deal happening during lessons, breaks and in clubs so thanks must go to the team of teachers who were behind the organisation of the week.

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 |
