LigerPride

Liger Pride Yearfourbook (2015-2016)
In my exploration we have a mission to create our first yearbook in Liger (2015-2016). Yearbook is about the year we are doing in school. We have six members in this exploration and each member have different role. The role are writer, editor, photographer, organizer and lay out master. We have been working on the cover of the book and write the description about different subject that Liger students have been working or study about. We want to make this book because we want our Liger students to remember each other when they are getting older and remember their relationship that they have made with each other.

Hidden Voice

The Hidden Voices group is trying to protect old endangered songs for the new generation to discover. Before we went on the trip (to Kompong Speu and Mondulkiri) we learned how to use many technology for recording and editing. When we interviewed many people and recorded them. After the trip, we gathered all the clips we had recorded and took pictures for (our) blog. We really wanted to have clear information about the old singers and writers, so we took another trip to the Ministry of Information to interview Mr. Mao Ah Yut(deputy director).The reason we interview him because he use to know a lot of the old singer and the songwriter. The coolest thing about it was we made a podcast. So we edited all the video clips and mixed it’s for the radio to save it. We are Cambodian so we all care about our culture and our songs. Please record your grandma and grandpa’s singing to save and share with your friends and the world. Keep our music alive!

My Unusual School

Name: Chhoeu
Group: D
Date: 9/10/15
Class: English Writing

I go to an unusual school. It is The Liger Learning Center. There are 50 students and the ratio of the boys to the girls is 1:1. They have 11 teachers, six foreign and five Cambodian. The school has six core values, They are Appreciation, Determination, Ingenuity, Integrity, Optimism and Stewardship. Liger wants the students to be entrepreneurial thinkers. One thing we focus on is Exploration. However, many of our subjects will help to change our country in the future. Everyone trying their best to learn, to keep, to work, to share, to change and to develop. I think Liger is the best school in Cambodia because it has good curriculum. That why the ministry tell that we don’t need to the the test when we are grade 9 and 12. So we print two books about economic and animal. Both books will give to the government school all around Cambodia. That why we work in team to make the move to the future.
