St Andrews Bangkok Business Students gain valuable experience through work placements

St Andrews International School Bangkok's International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme (IBCP) and BTEC students recently completed a week of work experience in various companies in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and as far as in Penang, Malaysia. This unique, exciting opportunity allowed the students to step out of their comfort zones and gain direct feedback from a professional environment in the real world.

Throughout this past academic year, the Year 10 Business students at St Andrews International School Bangkok learnt plenty in their course. To conclude the year, they had the opportunity to put their knowledge into practice at the annual STA Business Fair. This event allowed the students to showcase their entrepreneurial spirit by creating and selling a range of products, as well as making some extra spending money for the summer.

Are you a new student at St Andrews International School Bangkok looking to dip your toes into the world of swimming? Or perhaps you are a current student who has always wanted to improve your skills in the pool? Then there is no better time than now to join the STA Marlins Swimming Squad. The Marlins Recreational Group is our latest swimming programme, welcoming all beginners on Tuesdays after school.

At the end of each academic year at St Andrews International School Bangkok, our teachers and staff collect unused stationery items across classrooms and departments. These materials, including pencils, glue, scissors, books, and even clothes, are donated to the Baan Nokkamin Foundation, which supports underprivileged children in the suburbs of Bangkok. This initiative reflects our commitment to sustainability by minimising waste and promoting a culture of kindness and social responsibility.

This year, we are excited to welcome our largest-ever Year 12 cohort at St Andrews Bangkok! A total of 172 enthusiastic students have embarked on their Senior Studies pathways, which include a diverse range of academic options: the IB Diploma Programme, IB Career-related Programme, IB Courses, and BTEC. To kick off this exciting journey, we held the Year 12 Induction—a day filled with reflection and team-building activities to help lay the groundwork for a successful and fulfilling two years ahead.

At St Andrews International School Bangkok, we always seek opportunities to inspire and engage our students with real global challenges. And when such an opportunity comes, our students love to dive in. One of the most exciting initiatives for our Year 9 students is the Artificial Reef Project. A fantastic blend of education, innovation, and environmental stewardship, this extraordinary project not only addresses coral-related issues in Thailand but also truly embodies all the components of STEAM education – Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics.
