Primary & Early Years News

We have had another exciting fun filled week in Early Years and Primary.

Today our children have taken part in our transition day for Early Years to Year 5. The students went to their new classes and either met their teachers or were shown a video of their teacher introducing themselves.

As part of our ongoing transition program, the children then returned to their current classes and were given time to reflect and discuss their experiences. We also welcomed some new friends who will be joining us next academic year. We strongly encourage you to spend some time this weekend discussing this with your child to encourage them to explain how they are feeling about the next steps in their educational journey.

Fobisia Assembly

On Wednesday we were delighted to celebrate all of this year’s FOBISIA events in our special assembly on Wednesday, 19th June. It was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on and share the many ways our students have represented 91��ý with pride, talent and teamwork.

Our Year 5 and 6 students have taken part in a wide range of FOBISIA events this year, working both within school teams and in collaboration with learners from other international schools across Asia.

Our Under 11 Sports Team demonstrated exceptional sportspersonship, resilience and teamwork. They showed us that being great athletes goes beyond physical ability, it’s also about showing kindness and supporting others.

The Mathletes impressed us with their sharp thinking and problem-solving skills. We were particularly proud of how they reflected on each challenge and built on their experience throughout the event, especially their impressive speed in mental maths rounds!

The Drama Yetis brought our creative spirit to life, devising a brand-new performance from scratch in collaboration with other students. From writing dialogue and designing sets and costumes, to performing on stage, they showed imagination, confidence, and strong collaboration.

Every student who has taken part in a FOBISIA event this year has truly shown what it means to be a 91��ý Yeti, demonstrating kindness and excellence at the top of the world.

Well done to all of our wonderful representatives!

Music Recital

On Wednesday & Thursday this week, our music department proudly hosted the End-of-Year Recitals, featuring talented student performers from across the school. From expressive piano and vocal solos to energetic guitar and drum pieces and gentle violin tunes, each student took the stage with confidence and heart, showcasing the progress they’ve made through dedication and regular practice.

The recital was a celebration of musical achievement as well as courage, progress and expression. It was a true pleasure to welcome so many parents and teachers to share in these special moments and support our young musicians.

A heartfelt thank you to all our instrumental teachers for their ongoing guidance, and to our students for their courage and passion. We look forward to another inspiring year of music-making ahead!

Year 6 visit to Takpa Gallery

This week, Year 6 students had a wonderful visit to the Takpa Gallery to see Once Upon a Time, an exhibition by Nepali artist Roshan Bhandari. His beautiful artwork is inspired by old Nepali folktales that were once shared in homes and villages to teach important lessons about caring for each other, looking after nature, and learning from our community. The highlight of the trip was meeting the artist himself, which left the students feeling truly inspired. Back at school, they used this inspiration to add the finishing touches to their own acrylic paintings, based on the original folktales they had written in class.

Early Years Graduation Assembly

Today, we held a special assembly to celebrate our FS2 children graduating to Year 1. The theme was “Adventure Awaits,” and both FS1 and FS2 children performed on stage. The assembly began with the children singing several songs in different languages, with FS1 students supporting their FS2 friends. Alongside the songs, the children also performed a folk dance, which showed their excitement for the next step in their learning journey. We were very proud of all the children and how they supported each other. Congratulations to our graduates—Adventure awaits!

Year 6 Graduation Assembly

We finished the week with the Year 6 Graduation. It was a wonderful reflection of the year of learning and the children’s highlights reminded us of all the wonderful learning opportunities they had this year.

World Scholar’s Cup Global Round

Our scholars recently returned from an unforgettable adventure to Doha for the Global Round of the World Scholar’s Cup, joining over 2,000 students from 58 countries. The week was spirited, competitive, and immensely fun. It was a whirlwind of debating, writing, quizzing, and connecting with fellow scholars from around the world.

In between the academic challenges, students enjoyed a thrilling day at Doha Quest theme park and a time spent exploring the Villagio Mall (their most talked-about highlight!).

The week concluded in spectacular fashion with a hugely successful awards ceremony, where our teams earned an impressive haul of medals, followed by the Scholar’s Ball which was a fitting celebration of all they had achieved.

The first A level foundation course, with 8 students who will be starting A level courses at 91��ý in August reached its climax today. After a month of A level masterclasses, focussing on academic subjects and key study skills for A level students the course concluded with their group project presentations in front of the senior leadership team and their parents. All three presentations were truly impressive and deserved a much larger stage than the 91��ý library could offer.
