The SBEC International School in Bijilo, is currently organising its first summer camp, since its establishment 7 years ago.

This year’s summer camp, which is scheduled from the 4th-28th August, 2008, will give the students the opportunity to practice indoor and outdoor games, academic activities, sports, adventure tours, research and presentations, among other issues.

Speaking to theYoung Observer Columnist, Mr. Stephen Wright, English teacher at SBEC International School, said the summer camp is open to all students even to those who are not attending Sbec.

“The students visited Makasutu Nature Reserve, hotels, beachsides for fishing, they practiced number games, anagrams, did a computer research project, quiet reading in the library, snakes and ladder evaluation games, puzzles, dancing and martial arts,” Mr Wright disclosed.

He revealed that at SBEC International school, they believe that children can best learn through fun and that was one reason for the establishment of the summer camp.

“Initially, they had summer school, which was boring because the children were not given the opportunity to choose the activities they are interested in. This was another major reason for the summer camp.

I therefore advise the children to take the summer camp seriously, to enable them to learn a lot of new things”, Mr Wright concluded.
