Let’s play, run and have fun! Our years 1-3 students were amazing at their sports afternoon on Monday! Here are some highlights…

Please click here for more photos from the day.

It is a busy time in the secondary ICT & Computer Science department with many different things happening across the Key Stages. All of our students have been preparing for their upcoming Computer Science and ICT exams and it has been wonderful to see them take their studies so seriously. Some wonderful practice is being showcased across the year groups, and by Year 10 in particular which will stand them in good stead for when they do their IGCSE’s next year!

 KS3: ICT

Year 7 and 8 students have been learning the basics of algorithm design, flow chart design and programming, as well as looking at some  networking concepts and recently understanding how computers convert from Denary (number systems used by humans) to Binary (number system used by computers).

The Year 9s have been continuing with their ongoing Cambridge Assessments which will allow them to gain a certification in ICT which will have some merit for those students who choose to not take it for IGCSE. Here you can see them working hard on creating a database!

KS4 & KS5 : CS

KS4 students are in full swing for their end of year exams, both internal (Y10) and external (Y11,12 and 13). The Y12s have completed their theory paper and are now preparing at full steam for the practical exam. Y13 still have both papers to sit so I’m sure you will all join me in wishing them the best of luck over the coming weeks!

The Year 12s continue with their revision for the upcoming practical paper by practising their pseudocode programming skills in class while the Year 13s have been revisiting declarative and object oriented programming as well as taking a more in depth look at artificial intelligence. Look at the quality of these revision notes!!!

The children in Year 1 have been learning about the SDG Goal: Gender equality in the IPC lessons. In their assembly last Friday, they shared how unique they are by sharing their ‘I am special’ poem. They talked about how boys and girls are treated fairly, which jobs can men and women do and shared their gender neutral outfits. 

Raghavi, Sia and Sivani from Year 10 represented TBS Z Club, which champions women’s rights at the first PLUM Flowing Forward Menstrual Hygiene seminar at Lincoln High School on Sunday.

The menstrual hygiene seminar organised by students from Lincoln High School’s PLUM club was an exceptional event that left a lasting impact. The seminar featured keynote speeches by national experts in the field, who shared invaluable insights and knowledge. Attendees from several Kathmandu schools also actively participated in engaging workshops, gaining practical skills and innovative ideas to promote menstrual hygiene in their communities.

We hope to see the ideas and skills the student learned in action during our Enrichment week where the Z Club hope to put on their own menstrual hygiene training for our community partner schools.

Thank you to those parents who have confirmed that their child/children will be leaving TBS at the end of the term, i.e. 30th June 2023. Adequate notice is a requirement and avoids financial penalties for parents.  It also allows us to refund your security deposits on time and helps us to plan ahead for the new term.

The deadline for providing the formal notice of the withdrawal of your child/children is Tuesday, 30th May 2023. The notice of withdrawal can be provided either by email or written letter to Ms. Manisha Bajracharya at the admission office.

After submitting the notice of withdrawal, parents will receive a clearance form to complete the withdrawal procedure nearer the end of Term 4. Please let Ms. Bajracharya in the admissions office know should you require any school documents/references to provide to the new school.

Late notice of withdrawal (or providing no notice) and failure to submit the form or return the school’s resources may fully or partially affect refunding the security deposit.
