The children at the Goducate Children’s Home in Cambodia are preparing for the first National Students Convention to be held in Cambodia by the School of Tomorrow towards the end of next year, probably November. The School of Tomorrow curriculum is what the students at the Home follow, and the School of Tomorrow holds national, regional and international conventions, during which competitions are held in many events in various subject categories, both academic and non-academic.
There are two age categories—-juniors (9-12 years) and high school (13-18 years). 24 of our students are qualified to take part, 7 as juniors and 17 as high-schoolers. Music is one category they will be taking part in. All are practising for the singing category, and 15 for the musical-instrument events. They will also be taking part in sporting events such as the 100 m race and volleyball, and maybe soccer.
It’s not been confirmed what other events the children will be taking part in but they are practising every day for the different academic subjects every school day during their break. Quizzes are held during these times, one subject each week, with prizes for the winning team after the final competition on Fridays. The quizzes and teams are structured so that the children learn to strategize who to send up to answer which questions, and so that the younger ones learn to be confident about answering questions.
