Community Conference Art Workshop

Alongside football and PAWs, 91传媒 hosted a range of student-led art workshops for our visiting community partner schools. Activities included pebble painting, dreamcatcher weaving, bracelet making and leaf printing, which all focused on sustainability and eco awareness. The 91传媒 children led the activities with confidence and the participating students had a wonderfully creative morning!

Community Conference PAWS

During the Community Conference day, students from our Community Partner Schools, Mary Ward and DNC joined an enthusiastic group of Year 6 students for an engaging Community PAWS session. The morning was filled with energy as the children explored scarf dances, created rhythms using Boomwhackers, and took part in lively songs and games like 鈥淚 Let Her Go Go” and “Ram Sam Sam”. A highlight of the day was singing the Nepali song 鈥淕authali Gauthali鈥� and experimenting with a variety of musical instruments.

Eco Fair

We wrapped up last week with the buzzing, colourful, and truly inspiring Eco Fair. It was a joyful 听 听 celebration of sustainability, creativity and community. The event was packed with eco-friendly products and imaginative games, all thoughtfully designed and developed by our talented Primary students. From a lively toy swap and delicious “Bakery Bits” by the Eco Club to the crowd-favourite “Sponge the Teacher” stall, there was something for everyone to enjoy. We were also delighted to welcome external vendors showcasing beautiful (and delicious!) eco-friendly products that added to the vibrant atmosphere. The fair was set to the backdrop of sweeping folk music coming from the astro field, where parents, teachers and Secondary students joined in folk dances that the Primary students had been enthusiastically practising during their Music lessons.听

We’re proud to share that we raised 49,800 Nrs for the Eco Water Fountain Fund and 41,560 Nrs for the Community Fund. A heartfelt thank you to everyone for your generous support towards these important causes!

Thank you to those parents who have confirmed that their child/children will be leaving 91传媒 at the end of the term, i.e. Friday 27th of June 2025.

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

Success in the UKMT Maths Challenge

We are pleased to celebrate the achievements of a group of our students who recently took part in the UK Mathematics Trust (UKMT) Maths Challenge. This UK recognised competition is designed to stretch and inspire young mathematicians, promoting logical reasoning and problem-solving skills.

Several of our students performed exceptionally well and were awarded certificates in recognition of their efforts. These certificates are given to students who demonstrate strong mathematical thinking and achieve high scores in what is a very challenging competition; Isadora 6E, Manya 6E, Rayansh 6W and Fatima 6W were awarded participation certificates while Gold was awarded to Mayuk 6E, and Silver to Siyoon 6W and Avigya 6E.

We are incredibly proud of all the pupils who took part and commend them for their enthusiasm, determination and commitment to their learning. Congratulations to all our participants on their well-deserved success!

Alongside this, children across Primary participated in the Bebras Coding Competition. The Bebras challenge is designed to help students explore their talents and passion for informatics and computational thinking with engaging challenges. Students work through a set of tasks that focus on different topics and skills within informatics and computational thinking.

Laksh and Mayuk from 6E achieved an award for Best in School for their exceptional understanding of coding. Well done!

KS1 and KS2 Talent Shows

Over the past few weeks, we have had the pleasure of witnessing some truly incredible talents from our students. The KS1 Talent Show, held on Friday 2nd May, and the KS2 Talent Show, which took place on Thursday 22nd May, showcased a wide array of impressive performances.

From singing and dancing to piano, drums, and even robotics demonstrations, each act was a wonderful display of creativity, dedication and courage. It was inspiring to see our students embody the spirit of the Risk-Taking Rhino, confidently sharing their skills and passions with their peers.

The level of talent was so high that it made the task of judging extremely challenging. However, after much deliberation, our judges selected the top three acts from each key stage. We are proud to announce the winners:

Student Led PTCS

This week students from Year 1 to Year 6 invited their parents into their classrooms after school on Wednesday for the student-led PTC’s where they shared their wonderful learning and taught their grown ups all about their year so far. Children were able to talk through what they have worked on, specific topics they have enjoyed, share creative pieces in their IPC learning and talk through goals for next year. It was wonderful to see so many families and students excited to see the fantastic learning happening in school and be proud of all they have achieved this year!

Goodbye to the Class of 2025

If you are a Year 13 parent, today is a momentous day – the last formal school day for our Year 13 children. I suspect, like me, you cannot believe how quickly time has passed from when they started Foundation Year back in 2010.

Year 13 will still be in school for their exams and we will formally say goodbye to them at graduation next month. If you have not yet bought tickets for graduation, please ensure you do so soon from the school community shop.听

As if to remind us that as one class leaves another one joins, we were delighted to welcome our new Year 7 (Class of 2032) to join us for this morning鈥檚 inspiration assembly by British Gurkha Hari Budha Magar, further details of which can be found above.

Geography Field Trip

In probably the most enjoyable end of year assessment of Year 10, the Geography class have been carrying out a practical assessment collecting river data and camping at Himalaika camp. They have had a great time and will bring plenty of data and observation back to school so they can write their formal report.
