It was great to have the full Extra-Curricular Activity and Sports programme up and running again. Parents will be allowed to come to school for sports fixtures to watch their children play against other schools.
At the end of last week, it was fabulous to see so many classes take advantage of some cooler weather. Some Year 4 groups came outside to have some class discussions whilst the Foundation Stage students got to run.
Last week we heard the very exciting news that Pim, in Year 8, had won the Best in Show award at the inaugural NAE Film Festival for her fantastic short film, We Create Our Own Future.
Welcome back to the first full week of Term 3 and the final term of the 2021/22 academic year. We are prepared for a great term with a wide range of activities inside and outside the classroom.
On the first day of Term 3, we welcomed over 35 new students to the STA community. See what the children and the families got up to on their first day of school at St Andrews.
Our Songkran celebrations were a lovely way to end Term 2, and it was great to be able to wish Year 11 and Year 13 good luck in their exams in person this year.
This week, we reflect on Embracing Differences Week, a lovely celebration of inclusiveness at St Andrews, captured in the beautiful A Million Dreams Sign-a-long video.
This week, four Senior VEX teams did incredibly well in the VEX Robotics Thai Nationals, pushing themselves to win a spot at the VEX World Championship in Dallas, Texas.
Over the past two terms, all of our Primary School students in their classes have taken turns to experience a virtual safari from our international school in Bangkok to Chiang Rai to learn from the hardworking heroes at the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation (GTAEF).
Taking place this week, we have the International Baccalaureate Visual Arts Exhibition and Music Recital as our Senior students head into the final lead-in for their IB examinations. Coming up, we have a PTG Coffee Morning on the 24th of March, and in Term 3, we invite a consultant from the Education Development Trust to work alongside our staff.
There's plenty to look forward to in the final few weeks of Term 2! These are the last weeks for our Year 11 and 13 students as they begin study leave in Term 3 to prepare for their upcoming examinations. We also have a new COVID protocol for checking students' photos of their named, dated ATKs when they arrive at the High School in the morning. Learn more below...
Thank you to everyone who participated in such a fun and varied Book Week. It was lovely to see the Great St Andrews Community celebrating events like Book Week again and so enthusiastic about it all! Below are some summaries and photos of each event.
The Primary and Foundations stages at STA embraced book character day last Friday by putting in a huge effort to create amazing costumes to share with their friends. We had so many Harry Potters running around I thought I was in Hogwarts at one point!
