Student Life

Life at Shrewsbury Phnom Penh extends far beyond the classroom. Students thrive in an environment that values connection, wellbeing, creativity, and service. Every day offers opportunities to grow in confidence, character, and curiosity, guided by our Floreat ethos and the Salopian virtues that shape all Shrewsbury schools.

Wellbeing and Pastoral Care

Every student is known, valued, and supported. Through our House and Tutor system, students build meaningful relationships across age groups and receive daily care from staff who understand their individual needs. Our Wellbeing Team provides additional guidance, while assemblies, mentoring, and leadership opportunities encourage empathy and resilience. Flourish together: happy, healthy students make engaged learners.

The House System

The Houses are at the heart of school life, fostering friendship, teamwork, and school spirit from Early Years to Sixth Form. Students join one of four Houses: Darwin, Sidney, Tuke, or Palin, each reflecting a quality we celebrate: discovery, courage, service, and creativity. Regular competitions in sport, performance, and service nurture pride, belonging, and leadership.

Co-Curricular Life

Shrewsbury Phnom Penh offers a rich co-curricular programme that encourages every student to discover new talents and pursue personal excellence. Activities run daily from 3.00–4.00 pm and evolve each term to include:

Sports and athletics
Music, drama, and dance ensembles
STEM and design clubs
Creative arts, languages, and service learning
Environmental action and leadership initiatives

Participation is encouraged at all stages, from early exploration to developing mastery.

Sport and Physical Wellbeing

Our students develop teamwork, courage, and resilience through a vibrant sports programme. With world-class facilities, including Olympic-standard swimming, athletics, football, and indoor courts, students take part in competitive leagues, friendly fixtures, and recreational clubs. Physical education is integrated into daily life to promote confidence, fitness, and fun.

Creative and Performing Arts

Music, drama, and dance bring our community together. Dedicated studios, rehearsal spaces, and a professional theatre support a wide range of performances, from class showcases to full-scale productions. Students may pursue accredited qualifications through ABRSM, LAMDA, and RAD, or simply enjoy the joy of creative expression. The annual Arts Festival celebrates talent across the school and connects current students with alumni performers.

Service, Leadership, and Citizenship

Students are encouraged to make a difference, locally and globally. Through outreach partnerships and projects such as the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, they learn the value of service, teamwork, and leadership. From House Captains to Student Council, each has a voice and the opportunity to lead with integrity and care.

A Community Beyond School

Shrewsbury Phnom Penh is more than a place to learn, it is a community that lasts a lifetime. Shared experiences in Houses, performances, and service projects build friendships that extend well beyond graduation, connecting our students to the global Shrewsbury family.
