As a proud member of FOBISIA (the Federation of British International Schools in Asia), our school is part of a vibrant and collaborative network of more than 100 British international schools spanning over 20 countries across the region. FOBISIA exists to support excellence in education through shared professional development for educators and rich student enrichment opportuni ties that broaden horizons, deepen learning, and foster friendships across cultures. Each year, FOBISIA organises more than 70 student events; these range from sporting competitions and performing arts festivals to academic challenges and leadership forums. Such experiences encourage our

students to step outside the classroom, test their skills on an international stage, and return with new confi dence, resilience, and perspectives. In this edition of Connect, we highlight three recent FO BISIA experiences in Sport, Music, and Theatre. Written by our Heads of Department, these articles showcase how students across disciplines have embraced chal lenge and connection, growing not only as artists, ath letes, and performers, but as global citizens.
