Huge congratulations to our Class of 2026!
Looking back at the graduation ceremony, we are filled with immense pride for everything this group has accomplished. They brought passion, kindness, and dedication to our school community, and watching them cross that stage was an unforgettable milestone.
Thank you to the families, teachers, and all our staff who supported them every step of the way. To our newest alumni: the ceremony may be over, but your journey is just beginning, and we cannot wait to see where your next chapters take you.
Always remember: Once a Southbanker, always a Southbanker!

At Hampstead Campus, Grade 5 students presented their PYP Exhibition to the entire school community. As a culmination of their learning journey, the exhibition was a powerful testament to their inquiry, research, and collaborative skills. Instead of focusing on standardised tests like SATs, which often narrow the scope of learning, the PYP Exhibition allows our students to explore issues they are passionate about, develop solutions, and take meaningful action. This authentic demonstration of their understanding and agency is a real example of the value of an IB education, fostering not just knowledge but also critical thinking, communication, and a deep sense of responsibility towards the world around them. We are incredibly proud of their achievements and the remarkable learning they showcased.

The week before the spring break, our Grade 10 students took part in an enriching educational trip to Kraków, Poland 🇵🇱, where they explored the city’s rich history and culture and developed a deeper understanding of the Holocaust.
Day 1 began with an early departure and arrival in Kraków, followed by a walking tour of the city centre. Students explored the main square, Wawel Royal Castle, and the Jewish Quarter, learning about the city’s layered history. A particularly powerful moment was the visit to the Ghetto Heroes Square and the “70 Chairs” memorial, each chair symbolising a life lost and offering a poignant reflection on absence, memory, and history.
Day 2 was spent at Auschwitz I and Auschwitz-Birkenau, where students engaged with guided tours of the former camps. Exhibits, personal belongings, and preserved spaces provided a deeply impactful insight into the realities of the Holocaust. Walking through the barracks, crematoria remains, and memorial sites gave students a powerful opportunity to reflect on the scale, planning, and human impact of these events. The day concluded with time in Kraków’s old town for reflection and processing of the experience.
Overall, the trip was a deeply educational and thought-provoking experience that encouraged reflection, understanding, and global awareness. A sincere thank you went to the staff who organised and supported the trip so meticulously.
