Fun Friday kicks off with Teacher Karaoke in what will be a busy month for the House team.
It’s been a busy month for the House leaders at St Andrews International School Bangkok. Many events were outlined during the first house assembly. First up was Teacher Karaoke.
Last week the primary and secondary house teams joined up to go on a service trip to the Good Shepherd Sisters. Year 6, 12 and 13 led some excellent activities for children of a variety of ages.
Next Wednesday 10th October our Year 10 Sports Leaders will be running a football festival for 48 eager Year 3 students. Feel free to pop by the high school field and have a look.
Students across the High School have been working hard to gain valuable House Points and recognition for their academic and community efforts. Well done and keep up the good work!
Summer camps are a valuable opportunity for students to continue learning and growing in new ways outside school. Children build confidence, develop new skills and interests, make new friends, and stay mentally engaged in a relaxed, supportive environment. Through hands-on activities in sports, arts, music, robotics, and more, students are encouraged to try new things, solve problems, and work together with students from different schools and communities come together.
Four senior students from St Andrews Bangkok proudly represented our school at the NAE Student Summit 2025, held at The Village School in Houston, Texas. Joined by peers from 52 Nord Anglia schools worldwide, they spent a week developing their leadership skills through workshops, hands-on activities, and expert-led sessions focused on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Highlights included working with UNICEF and the World’s Largest Lesson, volunteering at the Houston Food Bank to help provide over 12,000 meals, and presenting a capstone project on improving access to healthcare in Bangkok.
The Marble Run Expo at St Andrews Bangkok is a powerful example of how inter-year group collaboration enriches learning across age levels. Year 7 students, working as designers and project leaders, created personalised marble runs for their Foundation Stage ‘clients’ - an engaging challenge that fostered empathy, active listening, and creative problem-solving. Through this event, older students gained confidence, leadership skills, and the ability to adapt communication for younger audiences, while our youngest learners were empowered by seeing their ideas brought to life and felt inspired to incorporate some design elements in their own marble runs.
Year 5 students stepped out of the classroom and into the kitchen for a special Thai cooking class hosted by the talented chefs from getfresh. Under the guidance of the getfresh chefs, they learned about kitchen safety, teamwork, and, most importantly, the steps involved in cooking traditional Thai food like Tom Gai Kai and Lod Chong. The interactive session gave students the chance to discover new skills and connect with Thai culture in a fun and meaningful way.
