Southbridge International School Cambodia continues to demonstrate its commitment to experiential learning through meaningful educational field trips that connect classroom lessons with real-world experiences. Recently, Year 4 students from Southbridge International School Cambodia visited Cambodian Television Network (CTN), offering them a rare behind-the-scenes look at how television news and media content are created. This educational visit was closely aligned with their English curriculum, particularly their learning theme focused on media and communication.
Educational field trips such as this play an important role in helping students understand how academic concepts apply beyond textbooks. At CTN, students were introduced to the fast-paced environment of a professional television station, where collaboration, creativity, and technical expertise come together to deliver daily news and entertainment to audiences across Cambodia.
Learning Beyond the Classroom at Southbridge International School Cambodia
During the visit, students explored various studios and production spaces within CTN. They observed how presenters, producers, camera operators, and technical staff work together to produce news programs and broadcasts. For many students, it was their first time seeing how scripts are transformed into live television content, helping them appreciate the complexity behind what viewers often take for granted.
Southbridge International School Cambodia emphasizes inquiry-based learning, and this visit allowed students to ask questions directly to media professionals. They learned about the planning process behind news segments, the importance of clear communication, and the role teamwork plays in producing accurate and engaging content.
Understanding Media, Technology, and Teamwork
From camera operations and sound mixing to lighting, set design, and editing, the CTN visit offered students a comprehensive overview of media production. Seeing these processes in action helped students better understand how technology supports storytelling and information sharing. This practical exposure reinforced key English language skills, including listening, speaking, and critical thinking.
Students were particularly fascinated by how many people are involved in producing even a short news segment. The experience highlighted how collaboration and coordination are essential skills in modern workplaces. Southbridge International School Cambodia regularly integrates such learning opportunities to help students develop a broader understanding of career pathways and real-world applications of their studies.
Inspiring Curiosity and Career Awareness
Educational visits like this serve a larger purpose beyond academic learning. By exposing students to different professions early on, Southbridge International School Cambodia helps nurture curiosity and encourages students to think about future career possibilities. The CTN visit demonstrated how creativity, communication, and technology intersect in the media industry.
Parents and educators increasingly value schools that provide students with hands-on experiences that build confidence and awareness. This field trip reflects Southbridge International School Cambodia’s holistic approach to education, where learning extends beyond the classroom and into the wider community.
Connecting Education to the Wider World
The CTN visit was a valuable learning experience that broadened students’ understanding of media, communication, and the technology that shapes modern storytelling. Experiences like these help students make meaningful connections between what they learn in school and how the world functions around them.
