FROM OUR CHAIR

Welcome from Chair

As Term 3 draws to a close, it is a perfect time to reflect on the months gone by, the successes we have achieved and the challenges we have overcome. FOBISIA schools are busy places and we are truly grateful for the continued and passionate support of our Member Schools which drives and inspires the work of the Federation.

The last few weeks have seen intense geopolitical developments and conflict in the Middle East, which posed an unprecedented challenge to our FOBISIA Representative Teams who had travelled to the region for high performance training and competition. We extend our sincere gratitude to the team of coaches, our vendor, members of the HQ team, and Board members for their relentless efforts, not only in ensuring everyone returned home safely, but also in maintaining student engagement throughout. The students themselves were absolutely remarkable in their display of resilience and mental fortitude.

As you are all aware, we were unable to proceed with the in-person Heads Business Meeting at Haileybury, Almaty. It was fantastic to see so many of our Heads adjust their schedules at short notice and attend the online meeting, ensuring that important Federation business could still be discussed. I would like to place on record our deep gratitude to Simon Mills, Head Of Haileybury Almaty School and his wonderful team for all the hard work they have put into preparing for the meeting which, I am delighted to confirm, will now be held at Haileybury Almaty on 18-19 March 2027.

There are many amazing highlights for the term gone by in which the recent U13 FOBISIA Friendly Games found a special place, displaying as they did a strong sense of camaraderie, mutual respect and shared enjoyment throughout the event. It was inspiring to see students coming together in such a positive and inclusive spirit,

representing their schools and the Federation so well. These experiences, in different ways, serve as a reminder of what sits at the heart of FOBISIA: a community built on strong relationships, mutual support, and a shared sense of purpose. Whether in moments of celebration or when plans need to change, it is this collective spirit that continues to define and strengthen our Federation. The same is true of the CPD conference hosted by Dulwich College Shanghai which gave our hugely talented CPD leaders loads of inspiring new ideas!

Our Business Conference, which took place from 23–25 April and hosted by Kings College International School Bangkok at The Athenee, offers a valuable opportunity for professional dialogue and collaboration for colleagues working across HR, Admissions, Marketing, Finance, and Operations. These occasions for thoughtful exchange play an important role in strengthening our collective leadership and ensuring that FOBISIA continues to move forward with clarity and intent.

Looking ahead, preparations are already well underway for our 33rd Leadership Conference this November at the Avani Riverside Bangkok from 13-15 November 2026. Built around the theme of “Leading with Purpose in a Human-Centred World,” the conference will focus on professional learning and development, giving colleagues the space to explore the theme in depth and consider how it can be meaningfully applied within their own settings. Equally important will be the opportunity to connect with old friends, make new ones and immerse yourselves in the warm and collegial spirit of the Federation

Thank you, as ever, for your continued engagement and support. I wish you all a successful end to the term and a well-earned, enjoyable and rejuvenating break!

FROM OUR CEO John Gwyn Jones MBE

Firstly, I would like to acknowledge that this marks the 50th edition of The FOBISIAN, which has evolved from a simple newsletter into the engaging eMagazine it is today. It continues to capture the spirit, achievements and shared experiences of our community.

As I reflect on the past few months across our FOBISIA community, I am once again reminded of the strength, professionalism, and resilience that define our Federation.

Many of you will be aware of the challenges we faced during our recent representative sports tour in Dubai. What could have been a very difficult experience for our students and staff instead became a powerful demonstration of the adaptability and care that our schools bring to every FOBISIA event. I would like to thank all the staff, coaches, and students involved for the way they managed the situation with such maturity and professionalism. Their response ensured that, even in challenging circumstances, the experience remained positive and memorable for the young people we serve.

Similarly, the decision to postpone our Heads’ Business Meeting in Almaty due to the evolving situation in the Middle East required us to adapt quickly. I was therefore delighted that nearly 100 of our Member School Heads joined our online meeting. In many ways, it reminded me of those COVID-era days when our community came together virtually to ensure that dialogue, collaboration, and leadership continued uninterrupted. The level of commitment in attending the meeting was testament to the support of our Heads to the collective strength of FOBISIA.

Looking ahead, we have a busy and exciting programme of professional engagement across the association. Two important conferences are approaching in the coming months: our Safeguarding Conference, and Business Conference. Each of these events plays an important role in strengthening professional practice across our schools, and I hope many of you will be able to participate and contribute to the dialogue.

Alongside these events, I am pleased that our ongoing professional programmes continue to attract strong support from our Member Heads. The Heads Coaching Programme remains a valuable resource for school leaders across the region, while our partnership with the Chartered College of Teaching offers meaningful opportunities for professional recognition and development for educators within our schools. Our Fellows Programme also continues to grow, recognising those who have made a sustained and significant contribution to education research across our community.

Beyond FOBISIA, our collective work through the British International Schools Safeguarding Coalition (BISSC) is gaining important momentum. Following our recent gathering at the House of Lords, I am pleased to report that the Safer Recruitment Code of Conduct is now being implemented across all our partner associations. This represents a significant step forward in strengthening safeguarding practice across the global British international school sector.

At the same time, we continue to advocate on behalf of our schools and students on several important issues.This includes promoting the UK’s Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) as the gold standard for teacher qualification within the international school sector. We are also working to support students from Myanmar within our schools, particularly in light of the recent restrictions affecting immigration policies for those seeking to pursue higher education in the UK.

Closer to home within the FOBISIA team, I would like to take this opportunity to recognise the contribution of Shana, who is stepping down from her role as Executive Operations Manager. Over the past four years she has provided excellent support to our membership and to the team at headquarters. Her professionalism, organisation, and dedication have played an important role in strengthening the operational foundations of FOBISIA. We wish her every happiness and success in the future.

At the same time, I am delighted to congratulate Swati on her appointment as our new Head of Operations. Many of you will already know Swati through her work with FOBISIA as our Safeguarding and CPD lead at HQ, and I am confident she will continue to provide the leadership and support that our growing association requires.

Finally, on a personal note, I am pleased to share that my contract as CEO has been extended for a further year. It remains a privilege to serve this remarkable community of schools, leaders, teachers, and students. I look forward to continuing to work with you all as we strengthen our collaboration, expand our impact, and ensure that FOBISIA remains a leading voice for British international education across the region, as well as globally.

Thank you, as always, for your continued commitment to our shared mission and vision.

IN OUR COMMUNITY

Celebrating significant milestones from our Member Schools.

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF KELLETT FOR 60 YEARS

Traill International School has proudly built a legacy of excellence, nurturing generations of learners through strong values and a rich heritage. As we celebrate this milestone, we look ahead with confidence to a future filled with innovation, growth, and continued success.

THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY

Along with a host of events Kellett celebrated its half century as the British School in Hong Kong with new art installations that honour its heritage and place in Hong Kong. A new dining hall sign mirrors the iconic neon signs synonymous with the streets of Hong Kong, and serves as a reminder that the vibrant culture and rich history of Hong Kong are interwoven into Kellett’s story.

As a proud British School in Asia and one of the earliest members of FOBISIA we also wanted to celebrate our British heritage.

A new English Heritage blue plaque now dons our first campus, celebrating 50 years of a Love of Learning and Confidence for Life, our school motto.

This year marks the 30th Anniversary of The ABC International School. To celebrate, our community gathered in March to reflect on our journey from a single class of five children to the thriving international school we are today, with our membership in FOBISIA being an integral part of that story. The week featured nostalgic student tours, a spectacular anniversary dinner, and a symbolic "student 30" display by our current cohort. It was a wonderful celebration of our history and the "family" spirit that remains at the heart of the ABCIS.

A MOMENT OF THANKS AND TRANSITION AT FOBISIA HQ

As a community, we are often reminded that the strength of FOBISIA lies not only in our schools, but in the people who support the work of the Federation behind the scenes. This year marks an important transition within our Headquarters team, providing an opportunity both to acknowledge service and to look ahead.

At the end of July 2026, Shana Kongmun will step down from her role as Executive Operations Manager, having been part of the FOBISIA Headquarters team since January 2022. During her time with us, Shana has supported the effective running of our operations and contributed to maintaining strong links between HQ and our Member Schools across the region.

Many colleagues, Board members and Heads will have worked with Shana and will recognise the professionalism and care she has brought to her role. Her work in supporting the day-to-day functions of the organisation, as well as our events and wider activities, has been valued by the team and the community.

On behalf of the Board and the Headquarters team, I would like to thank Shana for her contribution to FOBISIA and to wish her well in the next stage of her journey.

At the same time, I am pleased to recognise the appointment of Swati Sinha Bedi as Head of Operations from 1st August 2026.

Swati is already well known across our network, having been an integral member of the FOBISIA HQ team since March 2022. During this time, she has developed a strong understanding of the Federation’s work, particularly in safeguarding and professional learning, and has consistently demonstrated the professionalism, organisational expertise, and commitment required for this role. As a qualified lawyer, she also brings valuable additional perspective and rigour.

In her new position, Swati will lead the Headquarters team, ensuring that the services and programmes we provide to our Member Schools continue to be delivered effectively and with care. Her experience within FOBISIA provides important continuity at this point of transition.

Transitions such as this are a natural part of organisational development. They allow us to recognise contribution while ensuring we continue to evolve and strengthen our work. I am confident that Swati, supported by our HQ team, will continue to build on the strong foundations already in place.

Please join me in thanking Shana for her contribution and in congratulating Swati on her appointment.

JASON ROBERTSON

from Sports Management Worldwide

the Event Director for The FOBISIA Games

CAN YOU GIVE US AN OVERVIEW OF YOUR ROLE IN MANAGING THE FOBISIA GAMES?

I am the Event Director for The Games. It is my role to ensure that the team and I create a welcoming, safe, and best-in-class event where our student-athletes can thrive, both socially and competitively and an environment where, for four days, it is the happiest place on earth.

FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE AS AN ORGANISER, WHAT MAKES THE FOBISIA GAMES SUCH A SPECIAL EXPERIENCE FOR STUDENTS AND SCHOOLS?

I often start my opening speech at the event by welcoming new students, coaches, and parents to ‘The FOBISA Games family,’ and it truly is like a family. Most of these students and coaches come back year after year, often in similar groups, against similar schools. The students make friends from all over Asia, and they grow up together. For four days, they are away from home, making new friends, pushing themselves out of their comfort zones, and sharing the highs and lows of sport with their friends. Many of the coaches and parents we get to see year after year, too, sometimes multiple times a year. It really does feel like a large family, and they are simply coming home each time they return.

THE GAMES HAVE GROWN SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE YEARS. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MOST NOTABLE CHANGES YOU’VE SEEN, PARTICULARLY SINCE YOU TOOK ON YOUR ROLE?

We moved the Games just after COVID, which was a strange time for everyone, and there was definitely a ‘hangover’ from that time. Large gatherings of people seemed foreign to us all, and students were less socialised than before the COVID years. The Games were lost for a few years, and when they reemerged, they had to find their footing once again. Most of the younger students had never been to or heard of The Games, and there had been significant staff turnover at schools during COVID, which meant it was new to many of them, too. Added to that, we were now at a brand new venue. We began by enhancing The Games' identity by adding new branding and opening the merchandise shop, which has become very popular. The addition of official Games records for all age groups has students eyeing up and pushing themselves to win the elusive black records medals. The facilities on site are continually improved and adapted to suit what the Games need and have become. The Games are now back and reminding everyone why it is the flagship event on the FOBISIA calendar.

THE MOVE TO PATTANA SPORTS RESORT MARKED AN IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT. HOW HAS THAT CHANGE SHAPED THE DELIVERY AND EXPERIENCE OF THE GAMES?

We have everything ‘under one roof’ at Pattana. Allowing us plenty of scope to grow and evolve the event. We started off running on a grass track, and in 2023 Pattana unveiled their new 400m synthetic track at the stadium. We have added a new parents' viewing area on the football and Tee Ball fields. New swimming pool shading has been installed. Having two hotels on site allows us to house even our largest groups, and we do not need to send schools to off-site hotels as we had done before. The extra conference rooms allowed us to add and grow the ‘chill out rooms’ where students can socialise and enjoy their evening downtime together. Pattana has continued to improve the on-site facilities as the event has grown and evolved.

ORGANISING AN EVENT OF THIS SCALE IS NO SMALL TASK. WHAT DOES IT TAKE BEHIND THE SCENES TO BRING THE FOBISIA GAMES TOGETHER EACH YEAR?

It is never just one person; it takes a team to run and plan these events. And not just any team, a like-minded team with a shared vision of what experience we want to create for our guests. I always remind the team that we are not an events management company, we are memory makers, and we want to make sure that every student who comes to the Games, be it in the first group of the season or the last, has the best experience ever and goes home with memories that will hopefully last forever. I am very lucky to have assembled a team that loves The Games as much as I do. Merrick has been with me from day 1. We have certainly learnt a lot over the years; we are both always willing to listen, take feedback, and never too proud to make the changes that best suit the event. We have since added more like-minded staff, who have considerably contributed to the event, and I am very grateful to them for their hard work and relentless pursuit of better.

WHAT HAVE BEEN SOME OF THE MOST REWARDING MOMENTS FOR YOU PERSONALLY IN LEADING THE GAMES?

It may sound cliched but the most rewarding moments have been through the eyes and joy of the students, be it a 3 pointer, or goal in the dying seconds to win a match or trophy, or as a students shocks everyone, including themselves, to get a place card in a race they never thought they could do and just seeing the outpouring of joy that brings just reminds us why we put in all the work for these events and why I hope The Games under whoever's care that may be will last forever.

LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT DEVELOPMENTS OR IDEAS ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT FOR THE FUTURE OF THE FOBISIA GAMES?

I would like to see larger schools with students who do not make the 'A' team be able to send a second team to attend the event, in a less competitive group as a ‘B’ team. So they too can experience The Games. Because those types of students often miss out on these opportunities and only get some game time in the dying moments of matches when the result is already decided. Or are put on the field against players with far superior ability to their own. I would like those students to get the opportunity to compete against players of similar ability and feel the joy of sports and being part of a team. To give them experiences they may not have had before, so that nobody falls through the cracks.

FOBISIA TEACHING COMMUNITY CONFERENCE 2025: CONNECTION AND INNOVATION IN ACTION

Last November, the FOBISIA Teaching Community Conference 2025, hosted by British Vietnamese International School Hanoi, brought together educators from across the region for two days of learning, collaboration and professional exchange. Centred on the theme Connection and Innovation, the conference created a space for meaningful dialogue and shared practice.

The event began with a dynamic Welcome Evening, setting the tone for an engaging programme on campus. Delegates took part in a wide range of workshops and presentations, sharing innovative ideas and practical classroom strategies that continue to resonate beyond the event itself. The conference offered valuable opportunities to connect, exchange perspectives and build lasting professional relationships.

A highlight of the programme was the contribution of keynote speakers Dr. Simon Breakspear, Lisa Low and Chris Scorer. Their sessions encouraged delegates to reflect on their practice and explore new approaches to teaching and learning, reinforcing the importance of continuous development in an evolving educational landscape.

The success of the conference was made possible through the collective efforts of workshop presenters, delegates and the organising team, as well as a number of our Affiliate Members. Their willingness to share expertise created a rich and engaging experience for all involved. We would like to thank The British Vietnamese International School Hanoi for hosting such a successful event.

Looking back, the FOBISIA Teaching Community Conference 2025 stands as a strong reminder of the value of collaboration within our community. Through connection, creativity and a shared commitment to lifelong learning, the event highlighted the lasting impact of bringing educators together.

TACKLING THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF SCHOOL TRAVEL AND EVENTS WITH CARBON CREDITS

Caitlyn, Talha, and Chantal

Students from The Alice Smith School, Kuala Lumpur

School travel to conferences, sporting tournaments, and overseas trips, are carbon-emitting activities and come with an environmental cost. By purchasing carbon credits, schools can align their climate actions with their values and contribute to a greener future.

Carbon offsetting projects (like nature preservation, rehabilitation of mangroves, landfill gas conversion) remove or avoid CO2 emissions, as well as support biodiversity preservation, and create other co-benefits for local communities. This allows schools to take immediate climate action and take responsibility for their environmental impact by compensating for unavoidable emissions.

OUR ACTIONS

We were among 14 sixth form students who worked with Metanoia’s Carbon Offsetting Lab to learn about the benefits of offsetting and how to calculate the emissions from travel. We also discussed how carbon credits can sometimes be misused in practices such as ‘greenwashing’.

In attending the 2025 FOBISIA Leadership conference in Kuala Lumpur, 332 flights from 33 countries took place, and 451 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent were emitted. It would take 20,000 mature trees a whole year to absorb this much CO2.

We evaluated 18 offsetting projects and proposed 4 for FOBISIA to invest in. The projects we selected had to meet the following criteria: permanence (which can be verified through rating agencies), additionality, traceability (which requires credits to be registered), as well as providing meaningful social and environmental co-benefits.

The projects we recommended were:

1. Katingan Mentaya; preservation of a peat swamp in Indonesia.

2. Rimba Raya; preservation of biodiverse region in Indonesia. This project also supports community projects from nearby villages, preventing destructive agricultural practices with education, vocational training, and creating local jobs.

3. Myanmar Blue Carbon; rehabilitation of mangrove forest.

4. Heyan Qizhai LFG which converts landfill methane gas to electricity.

This only cost $2,000 or about $6 per person which is not much more than a few cups of coffee.

OUR WORK AND OUR IMPACT

Our impact through this project has been widespread. Firstly, FOBISIA has agreed to lead the carbon offsetting movement through investing $2,000 to purchase 451 carbon credits to fully offset the travel from the attendees to their conference. Additionally, our school - The Alice Smith School - has also led by example by offsetting all travel from Trips Week 2025.

A CALL TO ACTION

Every year, thousands of students travel overseas throughout South-east Asia whether it is to compete, collaborate or connect with other international schools. We not only hope, but we plead, that all of FOBISIA’s member schools lead by example by setting a standard of environmental and climate action for the rest of schools around the world to follow, not only in our time but the generations after. Purchasing high quality carbon credits is a feasible, cost effective, and impactful strategy, an action that schools should take in the first step toward driving meaningful progress in combating climate change and protecting the environment.

THANKS

We would like to give a massive thank you to Emma Brady and Anthony Dixon from Metanoia, in raising this pressing matter of long-term carbon offsetting to our attention and educating us, in the long run, about the importance of sustainability beyond the school. We are also grateful to Global Edge for equipping us with the presentation skills necessary to present our findings to the school leaders at the FOBISIA leadership conferences. Finally, we would like to thank FOBISIA, for acting on our recommendations.

CPD LEADERS CONFERENCE 2026

In March 2026, CPD leaders from across the FOBISIA network gathered at Dulwich College Shanghai Pudong for the annual FOBISIA CPD Leaders Conference. Under the theme "Building Bridges Through Effective Collaboration," the event brought together 70 delegates, 9 exhibitors, and a lineup of inspiring keynote speakers for three days of professional learning, connection, and strategic reflection.

The programme was structured around three core strands:

Leadership for Collaboration – exploring trust, shared responsibility, and distributed leadership

Teaching and Learning Frameworks/Models – co-constructing whole-school visions for learning

Community Engagement and Partnerships – strengthening connections across school communities

The keynote speakers set a powerful tone for the conference. Shane Leaning, cofounder of Work Collaborative and host of the Education Leaders podcast, opened with the question: "What if we already know how?" He challenged schools to draw on internal expertise and apply the double diamond design process to create effective change models. Phil Holdsworth and Sam Egerton from Impact International led an experiential exploration of connection and collaboration in international schools, introducing the Team Performance Inventory to help leaders unlock the six elements of high-performing teams. Michael Iannini shared lessons from his five-year journey coordinating PeerSphere's Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), offering transferable insights for effective collaboration models.

The workshop programme was rich and varied, featuring insightful sessions from school members, exhibitors, and keynote speakers. Delegates also enjoyed valuable networking opportunities through regional meetings, roundtables, and social events—a highlight being the evening at Captain's Bar overlooking Shanghai's iconic Bund.

Ultimately, the conference was not simply about building bridges, but about examining what genuine collaboration looks like and how the FOBISIA network can enable it to thrive.

The portrait shows Stańczyk, a well-known historical court jester in Poland during the 1500s sitting alone in a dimly lit room, slumped, mind full of thou ghts. Behind him, reveals a ballroom glowing in light. There, nobles celebrate and dance. The contrast between the ballroom and the foreground where Stańczyk slumps; this stark contrast between the radiating lively and prosperous ballroom, and Staczyk's quiet foreground emphasizes the unsettling silence and intimacy that surrounds him.

Matejko uses a contrasting and dramatic palette to emphasise the melancholy state of Sta czyk’s tragic state. The tone of deep reds and dark tones create a heavy and intimate atmosphere. Whilst the ballroom carries bright and vibrant tones. Golden hues blending in the red ambiance of the ballroom. The two are opposing , showing different emotions. The overall landscape of the painting mirrors Sta czyk’s internal composure. The shift in tone from dark to light further highlights Stańczyk’s inner turmoil and deep concern for the Polish political crisis.

Jean Delville was an influential artist of the late 19th century, a period marked by the rise of Symbolism—a movement that emerged in reaction to Realism and Naturalism. Instead of depicting the visible world as it appeared, Symbolist artists sought to express ideas, emotions, spirituality, and the inner self through symbolic imagery. Delville’s Prometheus embodies key Symbolist characteristics such as mythology, spirituality, beauty, and identity. The painting not only explores mythic themes but also serves as a profound symbol of

FOBISIA STUDENT LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE: INSPIRING STUDENTS TO LEAD BEYOND LIMITS

Victoria Yarlett Marketing Manager Kolej Tuanku Ja’afar

The FOBISIA Student Leadership Conference 2026 brought together 180 student leaders from schools across Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Singapore. This year’s conference focused on the theme Leading Beyond Limits, inspiring students to embrace challenges, think boldly and grow through adversity. Hosted by Kolej Tuanku Ja’afar (KTJ) International School on their 80-acre campus, the three-day event featured engaging talks and adventurous activities, including raft-building on the school’s lake!

Keynote speaker Rob Lilwall, NatGeo TV adventurer, delivered an inspiring talk to students and staff as he detailed his remarkable experience cycling 50,000 kilometres from China to the UK. Along his journey, Rob confronted extreme weather (-40°C in Siberia!) and difficult terrain to discover that adopting a positive mindset, embracing new opportunities, and building relationships with others are essential qualities of effective leadership.

The conference intentionally invited perspectives on leadership from a range of sectors. Mak Joon Nien, CEO of Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia, shared his insights on navigating the nation’s oldest financial institution through an era of innovation and growth.

World Squash Champion Datuk Nicol David emphasised the importance of resilience and mental fortitude in overcoming challenges and achieving greatness. Additionally, James Bennett and Noel Sullivan, Directors of London Theatrical Arts (LITA) and West End actors, led an interactive workshop exploring leadership development through dance and drama.

A Student Leadership Conference wouldn’t be complete without contributions from our incredible student leaders! KTJ student Cassie partnered with Nadia Hanim, a Leading Socialpreneur and Corporate Affairs Leader, to deliver a talk on Leadership for Social Change. Reflecting on her experience, Cassie expressed her gratitude for the opportunity, sharing one key takeaway: “Just do it! So often, I struggle with anxiety and self-doubt. But then I realised that I could inspire other students by demonstrating that anyone, regardless of age, has the power to create positive change.”

The students participated in a variety of workshops, including sessions on debate, leadership in community service, and an exciting raft-building challenge. On the final evening of the conference, delegates attended a social event, providing an opportunity for students from schools across Asia to interact and network while enjoying food, games and karaoke. KTJ student and conference delegate Amir said, “The conference has really broadened my perspective. I’ve met people from a range of backgrounds and cultures and created memories that I’ll treasure forever.”

KTJ extends its sincere appreciation to all student delegates, accompanying staff, speakers, and workshop facilitators whose efforts contributed to the success of this FOBISIA event. Special thanks are also due to Andrew Chessell and Punitha Rajagopol of KTJ for their dedicated work in making this event possible.

This year was especially memorable as it marked the first time Primary students were invited to compete—a big congratulations to them for stepping up and showcasing incredible enthusiasm and skill.

Well done to all competitors and all participating schools, with special recognition to Tanglin Trust School for winning the overall team award. We hope everyone had a wonderful time, enjoyed the experience, and made some new friends along the way.

Looking forward to seeing you all again next year!

FOBISIA PRIMARY MUSIC FESTIVAL 2026: HEROES

This year’s FOBISIA Primary Music Festival, hosted by Harrow International School Bangkok, was a vibrant celebration of creativity, collaboration, and young musical talent. With the powerful theme of ‘Heroes’, this event brought together 230 primary school students aged 9–11 from across the region, and embodied courage and resilience for our young musicians both on and off the stage.

The festival began with a spectacular welcome dinner, where students and teachers gathered to connect and set the tone for the days ahead. The following day featured one of the most thrilling highlights of the festival with a group excursion to Jurassic World: The Experience. Surrounded by towering creatures, students were immersed in a world of adventure that sparked imagination and curiosity. A further highlight of the festival was indeed the ‘FOBISIA’s Got Talent’ show, where each school performed an item of their own choosing to their peers. This event was a wonderful ice-breaker and featured a variety of performances ranging from Indian dance to a comedy rendition of California Dreaming. What

But of course the main focus of the festival was the music and the students committed themselves to a series of intensive rehearsals. These sessions demanded focus, discipline, and perseverance, as the children worked together to overcome challenging extracts and to refine their performances. The young musicians demonstrated remarkable resilience by pushing through their inhibitions, refining their grasp of complex musical material, and showing exceptional collaborative skills.

Complementing the rehearsals, a number of creative workshops gave students the opportunity to engage with even more music, movement, and self-expression. Whether learning to play the steel pans, exploring Thai dance, or even making their own jewellery, the students were constantly encouraged to dig deeper and leave their comfort zones behind by embracing new experiences. A particularly memorable cultural moment came with the spectacular Muay Thai show which was a powerful display of Thailand’s traditional martial art and embodied the very essence of the festival’s heroic theme.

The festival reached its peak with two unforgettable Gala Concerts. Taking to the stage, our young musicians showcased their musical achievements to packed audiences of friends and parents. The concert repertoire celebrated heroes in many forms, such as ‘When I Grow Up’ from the Choir, ‘The Incredibles’ theme from the String Orchestra, ‘Spiderman: No Way Home’ from the Concert Band, and ‘Danger Zone’ from the full Orchestra. Both concerts culminated in a rousing rendition of David Bowie’s ‘Heroes’ featuring the entire Festival Choir and Orchestra.

The FOBISIA Primary Music Festival 2026 was a wonderful musical event which celebrated the heroic spirit within every child. Those students involved left not only as better musicians, but as stronger, more resilient individuals, ready to continue their own musical journeys. Huge thanks to everyone who helped to make this event possible.

HOSTING HISTORY: KING’S COLLEGE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL BANGKOK WELCOMES FOBISIA BASKETBALL

King's College International School Bangkok

This academic year marked a significant milestone for FOBISIA basketball, as King’s College International School Bangkok proudly hosted both the U13 and U15 FOBISIA Basketball Championships, an achievement made even more special as it was the first time the school has hosted these prestigious events.

Earlier in the year, King’s welcomed U13 teams from across the FOBISIA network. For many young athletes, this was their first experience of an international tournament environment - an opportunity to represent their schools, build friendships, and develop a love for competitive sport. The event was characterised by energy, enthusiasm, and a genuine sense of joy, as players embraced both the challenge and excitement of tournament basketball.

Building on that success, last term King’s hosted the U15 FOBISIA Basketball Invitational, raising the level of competition while maintaining the same strong sense of sportsmanship and community. Across several days of high-quality basketball, student-athletes demonstrated not only impressive skill and tactical understanding, but also resilience, teamwork, and kindnessvalues that sit at the heart of FOBISIA sport.

A highlight of both tournaments was the vibrant opening ceremony, which celebrated not only sport but also student leadership, with team captains playing a central role. The ceremony also showcased the rich cultural heritage of Thailand through a traditional Muay Thai performance. This captivating display of athleticism, discipline, and artistry offered visiting teams a powerful introduction to the host country, setting the tone for the competition ahead. For many students, it was a memorable opportunity to experience Thai culture beyond the basketball court, reinforcing the international spirit of FOBISIA events.

Central to the success of both tournaments was a strong sense of community. Staff and students worked collaboratively to create an environment that was both professional and welcoming. From the organisation of schedules to the smooth running of the courts, and from the leadership of student volunteers to the enthusiasm of spectators, the tournaments reflected a collective commitment to excellence.

Hosting FOBISIA events is about more than competition; it is about connection. Schools from China, Laos, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand came together, strengthening relationships and creating shared experiences that extend beyond the court. For many students, these tournaments will be remembered not only for the games played, but for the friendships formed and the inspiration gained.

For King’s College Bangkok, hosting both U13 and U15 basketball in the same year represents an important step in the continued growth of its sports programme. It reflects a commitment to providing meaningful opportunities for students to engage in high-quality sport, while contributing positively to the wider FOBISIA community.

Looking ahead, King’s is delighted to be hosting the same FOBISIA Basketball events again next year. With strong foundations now in place, the school looks forward to building on this year’s success, continuing to enhance the experience for visiting schools and ensuring that every student leaves with lasting memories.

As FOBISIA sport continues to thrive across the region, events such as these serve as a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when schools come together with a shared purpose: to inspire young people through sport.

YOUNG SUSTAINABILITY LEADERS GATHER FOR THE FOBISIA STUDENT SUSTAINABILITY CONFERENCE

Cindy Adair

Event Host and Cross Campus Principal Bangkok Patana School

Bangkok Patana School was proud to host the FOBISIA Student Sustainability Conference, welcoming 145 students from 16 international schools across the region for two inspiring days of collaboration, innovation and environmental action. The conference brought together young sustainability leaders to share ideas, develop practical solutions and build connections around some of the most pressing environmental challenges facing our planet.

The event opened with a warm welcome from Bangkok Patana student Ana, Co-Chair of the Student Environmental Committee, before participants heard the opening keynote on “A Green and Blue Career Path” delivered by Patana alumni Nandita Valiramani, Sustainability Coordinator at Indorama Ventures. Nandita shared her journey into sustainability work and inspired students to see how careers in science, business and environmental advocacy can intersect to create meaningful change.

Throughout the first day, students participated in a dynamic programme designed to balance innovation with hands-on learning. The Eco Dragon’s Den preliminary rounds saw student teams pitch creative sustainability solutions to judges and peers. The brief was to help find a solution to the sizeable carbon footprint generated annually by travel for school-based events. Students proposed carbon budgets, trackers, VR and AR alternatives and a FOBISIA wide carbon credits competition, among other innovative solutions.

Alongside the pitching sessions, students engaged in a variety of practical workshops and experiential activities. These included plant-based cooking sessions, soap making using recycled cooking oil, upcycling projects with leather scraps and plastic, decorating bug hotels to support biodiversity, and tours of Bangkok Patana's outdoor classroom and solar array. These workshops allowed students to move from theory to practice, demonstrating how sustainability can be embedded into everyday choices and systems.

Day one concluded with a biodiversity photography walk, led by environmental educator and Nat Geo wildlife photographer Alexander (Coke) Smith, encouraging students to observe and capture the natural world around them. The activity highlighted the importance of noticing and protecting biodiversity even within urban environments. The arrival of a few cheeky monitor lizards right on cue delighted the students.

The second day began with a heartfelt welcome by Bangkok Patana Student Environmental Committee Co-Chair Veer and then an energising keynote from Jeroen van de Waal, founder of OrcaNation, whose talk “Together We Can Turn Tides” explored the power of youth leadership in protecting our oceans. Students then took to the stage to present short talks about sustainability projects already underway in their own schools, sharing initiatives ranging from waste reduction campaigns to innovative approaches to sustainable food systems.

The conference culminated in the highly anticipated Eco Dragon’s Den Finals, where the top teams presented their ideas to a panel of guest judges. After an impressive round of pitches and thoughtful questioning, the judges announced the winners:

1ST PLACE - ST. ANDREW'S INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, GREEN VALLEY

2ND PLACE - BROMSGROVE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, THAILAND

3RD PLACE - JERUDONG INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL BRUNEI

All finalist teams demonstrated exceptional creativity, critical thinking and passion for sustainability, highlighting the power of young people to drive meaningful change.

One of the intentional features of the Conference was ensuring we “walked the talk” and made sustainable event hosting decisions. Led by our wonderful Student Environmental Committee the event featured the following green features:

Only vegetarian snacks and lunches

Upcycled mini stuffed elephants as our event gift made from donated pre-loved Primary uniforms

No printed posters or programmes – QR and digital copies only

Upcycled and reused photo booth displays

No event T shirts of unnecessary fast fashion

Visiting teams were encouraged to off-set the carbon generated by their travel to/from the conference

@ Bromsgrove International School, Thailand

Let’s hear some reflections from the Patana students involved in the Conference!

"A highlight for me was meeting alumni Nandita and learning more about her journey from being a climate conscious student at Patana to advising a big company on their sustainability. This really inspired me on the possibilities our passion can create in the future. I also valued hearing the unique ideas of different students from different international schools and what they are doing and what they find helpful to ensure sustainability. Sharing ideas on what works and discussing struggles with other schools really motivated me to keep connected to our International Environmental Committees community in the future."

- Ana Year 11

"I found the conference to be very enlightening, and overall, to be a wonderful experience. Everyone was incredibly passionate about sustainability and how they themselves could contribute to the upliftment of the environment, either through reducing their consumption of single-use plastics or by raising awareness of the sustainable practices that their schools were already implementing. I only felt a sense of community, belonging, and connection with all my fellow sustainable students at the conference, and look forward to the next one!" - Varsha Year 11

"It was such a pleasure to see so many students in one space that were passionate about the same thing : keeping our school as sustainable as possible. Whilst looking around in the conference halls, it seemed that each student had their own personal drive to learn and grow; some were eager to share ideas for the future of sustainability in business and others wanted to protect what we have on earth like our animals and ecosystems. Overall I was inspired by every student that attended the conference." - Martha Year 11

Beyond the awards, it’s clear the conference created a powerful sense of community among students who share a commitment to protecting our planet. Through dialogue, collaboration and shared learning, participants left with new ideas, friendships and a renewed determination to lead sustainability initiatives within their own schools and communities.

RECORD-BREAKING FOBISIA PRIMARY MATHS CHALLENGE

Dulwich College Shanghai Pudong

Dulwich College's in Shanghai were delighted to host the largest ever FOBISIA Primary Maths Challenge, welcoming 42 schools, 80 teams and 320 pupils on 6–7 March 2026. The competition took place across both campuses, with Year 6 pupils competing at Dulwich College Shanghai Pudong and Year 5 pupils at Dulwich College Shanghai Puxi.

FOBISIA Maths is widely regarded as the leading team-based mathematics competition of its kind. While many maths contests focus on individual achievement, this challenge places collaboration at its heart, encouraging pupils to work together, persevere through complex problems and apply their mathematical thinking in creative ways.

Of the ten rounds, nine were team events, ensuring that teamwork and communication played a central role throughout the competition. The only individual component was a written paper, designed to recognise exceptional individual mathematicians without allowing them to dominate the team results.

The team rounds included a maths trail, calculation round, logic round, escape room, data handling task, investigation, construction challenge, split relay, and the competition’s signature event, Around the World in 80 Minutes. Several of these rounds introduced new ideas to the competition, adding fresh challenges for both pupils and teachers.

Dulwich College Shanghai Puxi

One of the new additions was the data handling round. Pupils analysed 2024 Olympic data from seven countries and were asked to determine what further information would be needed to identify the most naturally athletic and healthiest nation. After requesting the additional data they required, teams prepared a presentation, which visiting teachers then had the difficult task of evaluating and ranking.

Another exciting debut was the escape room challenge. Six rooms, themed around Harry Potter, tested pupils’ mathematical thinking under pressure as they attempted to escape — or progress further than other teams — within one hour. Teams had to decide carefully when to request clues or attempt answers, as each incorrect guess or hint added extra time to their final score.

The final new feature was the competition’s most ambitious round yet: Around the World in 80 Minutes. Featuring 29 countries and 44 mathematical activities, this round required both strategy and problemsolving. Teams were given ten minutes to plan which rooms they would visit in order to maximise their points. Activities varied in difficulty, with harder challenges offering greater rewards. Pupils might find themselves building Platonic solids in Greece, using a steelyard to measure weights in China, playing Bagh Chal in Nepal, solving logic puzzles in Japan, testing toothpaste in Egypt, or tackling spatial reasoning challenges in Sweden.

Across the two days, the atmosphere was one of excitement, teamwork and intellectual curiosity. Pupils were fully engaged and clearly enjoyed the opportunity to collaborate, compete and celebrate mathematics together.

North London Collegiate School Jeju won the Year 5 competition, while Dulwich College Shanghai Pudong claimed the Year 6 title. When the results from both year groups were combined, the overall champion was Dulwich College Shanghai Pudong.

5 th - 6 th March 2027

With highly positive feedback from all visiting schools, the 2026 challenge proved to be a memorable event. We now look forward to seeing the competition continue to inspire young mathematicians across FOBISIA next year.

FOBISIA JUNIOR DRAMA FESTIVAL 2026 : “LEAPING INTO MOTION”

Leica Burley

Assistant Head - Curriculum Leadership

Taipei European School

The FOBISIA Junior Drama Festival 2026 brought together 125 students from nine schools across the region; The British School Manila, Kinabalu International School, Network International School, Nord Anglia International School Hong Kong, North London Collegiate School (Singapore), Taipei European School, The Alice Smith School, Kuala Lumpur, The British International School Shanghai, Puxi, and The International School @ ParkCity for four days of creativity, collaboration, and performance.

At its core, the festival was designed as a rich learning experience. In the lead-up to the event, students engaged in a pre-festival creative mission. Inspired by Tales of the Inner City by Shaun Tan, this provocation encouraged students to consider the relationship between humans, animals, and our urban environment. It provided a shared conceptual thread that connected all participants before they even arrived.

This inquiry was then deepened through an intensive programme of workshops led by three artists from Red Leap Theatre, an internationally recognised, awardwinning company from New Zealand known for its highly physical, visually striking, and imaginative style of theatre. Their work formed the backbone of the workshop programme, complemented by sessions led by teachers from participating schools, whose contributions added further breadth and diversity to the learning experience.

Across the six workshops, students explored a wide range of theatrical techniques, including miniature finger puppetry, physicalising characters, the creation of soundscapes, and the use of handheld light to reveal secret worlds. Whether working with Red Leap’s dynamic, movement-driven approaches or engaging in workshops led by teachers, students experienced theatre-making through multiple lenses; each offering different tools, insights, and creative possibilities.

Crucially, these were not isolated experiences. Students continually returned to their group’s animal and urban landscape, using each new technique as a lens through which to develop their ideas. This process was supported by their Company Lead Teachers, who experienced the workshops alongside students and played a key role in guiding the devising process, prompting students to revisit and apply what they had learned as they began shaping their work. The level of engagement and creative risk-taking was remarkable, as students embraced unfamiliar methods and pushed their ideas in new directions. This culminated on the final day, where each group shared an original piece of theatre.

Alongside this deep artistic learning, the festival fostered meaningful connections between students from different schools and cultural contexts. Over the course of the festival, students built friendships grounded in shared creative interests, collaborating in workshops, supporting one another in rehearsals, and celebrating each other’s performances. The sense of belonging to a wider community of young theatre-makers was evident throughout.

Hosting the FOBISIA Junior Drama Festival has been a genuine privilege. From administrative teams supporting visas and logistics, to operations and technical staff preparing spaces, to student volunteers and many others in between, the act of hosting extended far beyond the stage and reflected a shared commitment across the entire school community.

For schools considering hosting a FOBISIA event in the future, we would strongly encourage you to take the leap. While it requires planning and coordination, the impact on participating students and staff, as well as on your own school community, is profound.

JERUDONG INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL HOSTS THE FOBISIA MUN CONFERENCE

KS3 English Coordinator & Model United Nations Coordinator Jerudong International School, Brunei

From February 6th to 8th 2026, Jerudong International School (JIS) had the immense pleasure of hosting the FOBISIA Model United Nations (MUN) Conference. It was a privilege to welcome 194 student delegates, chairs, and floor secretaries from across the FOBISIA network to our campus here in Brunei Darussalam for three days of intense, high-level debating.

Themed ‘Finding Unity in Uncertainty’, our delegates explored and debated a series of complex global challenges. From examining territorial claims in the Arctic Ocean to reforming the peacekeeping dogma, students tackled a vast range of issues while developing their skills in critical thinking and public speaking. We were also honoured to host keynote speakers including Ken O’Flaherty, Acting British High Commissioner to Brunei Darussalam; Sun Nahmkook, Ambassador of Korea to Brunei Darussalam; and Caryn McClelland, Ambassador of the United States to Brunei Darussalam, who all shared profound insights on diplomacy, leadership and international cooperation.

Joe Wall and I took over the Model United Nations CCA in 2022 after it had been on a hiatus during the Covid pandemic. Watching it grow over the last four years from a very small group of students to over 60 committed members has been an incredible journey. With a seriously strong secretariat led by Jovan (also our Head Boy for the 25-26 academic year at JIS), Clare, Ayden, and Dhanushan, who were all with us from the club's rebirth, we knew we had students driven enough to pull something like this off.

While I won't understate our roles as Event Organisers, the real magic of the event came from the students. We were constantly impressed by the passion and energy displayed by delegates from schools including HELP International School, Denla British School, Kellett School Hong Kong, elc International School, The British School New Delhi, The British School Manila, Network International School, International School Brunei and Kinabalu International School.

Our own students frequently commented on the incredible quality of debate and the high standards brought by the visiting schools. Witnessing this was a testament to the real strength of the FOBISIA network. Honestly, we both stand firm in thinking that this is the best thing we have ever and may ever be a part of professionally. It was a moment where the term so many international schools commit to, ‘global citizenship’, felt visceral, poignant and entirely real.

FOBISIA VISUAL ARTS COMPETITION 2026:

REVEALING HIDDEN WORLDS THROUGH STUDENT CREATIVITY

The

The FOBISIA Visual Arts Competition 2026 brought together young artists from across the federation in a vibrant celebration of imagination, creativity, and artistic expression. This year’s theme, Hidden Worlds, invited students to reveal the unseen, whether through secret stories, imagined landscapes, microscopic perspectives, or moments hidden within everyday life.

The response to the theme was extraordinary. A total of 450 entries were submitted from FOBISIA schools, demonstrating not only technical skill but also thoughtful interpretation and personal storytelling. The openness of the theme allowed students of all ages to approach it in uniquely individual ways, resulting in an inspiring diversity of artistic outcomes across media, cultures, and perspectives.

It was inspiring to see how students interpreted Hidden Worlds in ways that reflected both imagination and lived experience. The theme encouraged artists to look beyond what is immediately visible and to consider hidden perspectives, overlooked details, and personal narratives. Across all age groups, students demonstrated remarkable confidence in sharing ideas visually, reminding us that creativity provides a powerful language through which young people make sense of their world.

What became clear throughout the judging process was how naturally students embraced the idea of uncovering what is often overlooked. Some artworks explored hidden emotional worlds or inner thoughts, while others revealed alternate realities, surreal dreamscapes, or environments concealed beneath the surface. Together, the submissions showed how art enables young people to communicate ideas that may otherwise remain unseen.

Selecting winners proved both rewarding and challenging. Each artwork was carefully considered for its creative and imaginative interpretation of the theme, artistic intention, and overall impact. The high standard across all age categories reflected the strength of visual arts education within FOBISIA schools and the dedication of teachers who continue to nurture creative confidence in their students.

The winning artworks exemplified the breadth of responses inspired by Hidden Worlds:

In EYFS, Ariana (Kellett School Hong Kong (Pok Fu Lam Prep Campus)) created an honest and beautifully detailed exploration of everyday human habits, revealing a hidden narrative within ordinary life through careful observation and visual storytelling.

In Key Stage 1, Laurie (Seoul Foreign British School) impressed judges with strong conceptual thinking, using a zipper motif to symbolise the contrast between visible and hidden realities while thoughtfully exploring our relationship with technology.

In Key Stage 2, Coco (Shrewsbury International School, Bangkok City Campus) presented a skillfully painted triptych that guided viewers through a surreal journey of floating islands, symbolic spaces, and dreamlike imagery, demonstrating both imagination and technical confidence.

In Key Stage 3, Rena (The International School @ ParkCity) created an atmospheric painting of a glowing submerged city. Through the use of scale, light, and colour, the artwork suggested mystery and the possibility of life hidden beneath the surface.

In Key Stage 4, Pita (Bromsgrove International School, Thailand) used intricate paper-cutting techniques to explore concealment and transformation, creating visual ambiguity that challenged viewers to question whether the figure was hidden by or becoming part of the surrounding environment.

In Key Stage 5, Naeun (King Henry VIII College) produced a masterfully painted work described by judges as museum-quality. Drawing inspiration from Alice in Wonderland, the piece invited viewers into an introspective psychological space, encouraging curiosity about identity and inner thought.

Across all categories, the competition highlighted how a shared theme can inspire vastly different interpretations while celebrating each student’s unique artistic voice. From the youngest artists discovering storytelling through images to older students exploring complex conceptual ideas, Hidden Worlds demonstrated the power of art to foster curiosity, empathy, and imagination.

We extend our sincere thanks to participating schools, teachers, and students whose enthusiasm and dedication made this year’s competition such a success. The creativity and insight demonstrated throughout this year’s entries remind us that art plays a vital role in helping young people uncover, create, and reveal new ways of seeing the world.

You can view all the winning artworks, and shortlisted pieces HERE, which gives a sample of the remarkable creativity of students across our FOBISIA community.

“Hidden Worlds reminds us that art allows young people to reveal perspectives, stories, and ideas that might otherwise remain unseen.”

“Across FOBISIA schools, students showed that a shared theme can inspire endlessly unique creative voices.”

A Memorable Championship

The FOBISIA Golf Championship 2026 successfully delivered a unique blend of individual challenge and team-centred enjoyment, fulfilling its aim of bringing schools together through sport.

Set against the backdrop of a world-class course and supported by excellent organisation, the event will be remembered for its high standards of play, positive atmosphere, and the lasting connections formed both on and off the course.

EVERY VOICE MATTERS: BUILDING A CULTURE OF STUDENT VOICE AND AUTHENTIC ENGAGEMENT

There is a type of student who rarely gets noticed. They are not disruptive, not disengaged in any obvious way, and they do exactly what is asked of them. They sit quietly, complete their work, and move from lesson to lesson without drawing attention to themselves. I know this student well, because I was one.

I was compliant and well-behaved, but I was also largely invisible. I attended lessons and completed tasks, yet I was never truly invested in my own learning. Rebecca Winthrop, in The Disengaged Teen, describes students like this as “passengers”. We are present, but not really part of the journey. Decisions about my education were made elsewhere, and I did not feel that my voice carried any weight.

That experience has stayed with me, and it shapes how I see my role today. I know what it feels like to go through school without feeling heard, and it is one of the reasons I care so much about student voice now. I am fortunate to work in a school where student voice and agency are genuinely valued. It is not just something we talk about, it is something we are trying to build into everyday practice. That said, there is always more we can do. Listening to students properly takes time and intention, and it requires us to create systems where their input is not just welcomed, but needed.

This thinking, alongside my own experience, sits behind a project I am leading called Every Voice Matters. It is a participatory action research project focused on strengthening student voice in school decision making. A key part of this is that students are not just involved, they are leading. I am working with a student research committee so that young people are actively shaping the direction of the work.

There is a real sense of momentum, and students are starting to see that their ideas can lead to change. One of the most positive developments so far has been the introduction of student panels in our teacher recruitment process. Students can volunteer to be part of an interview panel, where they ask questions to prospective teachers. This has been a valuable opportunity for students to show leadership and have a genuine voice. It also benefits the school, as candidates get to meet our students and understand the community they may be joining.

The long-term aim of Every Voice Matters is to continue to develop a practical model that other schools, including those in FOBISIA, can use to embed student voice in a meaningful way.

When I think back to my younger self, the quiet passenger who wanted to be heard but did not know how, this work feels deeply personal. If we want young people to be active citizens beyond school, we must first empower them with a more meaningful role within it.

TALK TO LEARN, LEARN TO TALK: EQUIPPING STUDENTS WITH ORACY FOR LIFE THROUGH COOPERATIVE LEARNING

Across FOBISIA schools, we are united by richly diverse, multilingual classrooms and a shared challenge: how do we ensure every learner has a voice?

Following the opportunity to present at the FOBISIA Senior Leadership Conference in November, it has been a pleasure to work with a number of FOBISIA schools across Asia, as well as early career teachers in the UK, to explore how purposeful talk can be embedded more consistently within classroom practice. Within our own school community, this work around oracy and cooperative learning has continued to gather momentum. What began as a focus on improving classroom talk has evolved into a wider conversation about equity, participation and the conditions that allow every learner to think, speak and be heard.

Through staff training, learning walks and student voice, a clear pattern emerged: while many students were confident contributors, participation was not always evenly distributed. Too often, talk was dominated by the quickest or most confident, leaving others as passive listeners. This was not a reflection of ability, but of opportunity.

Our response has been to introduce and embed structured cooperative learning routines, underpinned by the PIES principles: Positive Interdependence, Individual Accountability, Equal Participation and Simultaneous Interaction. These structures are not an addition to teaching but a refinement of it - shaping how talk happens so that it becomes purposeful, equitable and intentional.

Early impact has been encouraging. Classrooms are beginning to feel more inclusive, with clearer routines that support all learners to engage. Teachers report improved listening, increased confidence and more thoughtful responses across a wider range of students. Importantly, this work has also prompted rich professional dialogue. Staff have raised thoughtful questions about implementation: how to adapt structures for younger learners, how to maintain flow in specialist subjects and how to support students with English as an additional language.

These questions have helped shape the next phase of our journey. The focus now is on consistency and refinement - ensuring that structures are applied with clarity and purpose across all contexts. This includes developing shared language, supporting staff with practical adaptations and continuing to align our approach with the needs of a multilingual student body.

Looking ahead, we are committed to embedding a culture where talk is not left to chance but carefully designed. Our aim is simple: that every learner, in every classroom, has regular, meaningful opportunities to think deeply, articulate ideas and learn through interaction with others. As more schools across FOBISIA continue to prioritise oracy, there is a real opportunity to strengthen this work collectivelysharing practice, refining approaches and building a more consistent understanding of what high-quality classroom talk looks like across diverse contexts.

Because when we design talk deliberately, we don’t just improve participation - we transform learning.
