Our football teams produce some fine displays at the Harrow Festival and our young badminton players experience success at the badminton TISAC tournament. Mr Damon recaps all the sport training available at St Andrews at the weekend and don’t forget to get acquainted with the new sports communication system which will be up and running in August.
On Saturday we had our final football tournament of the year at the Harrow Festival. Our Primary teams were up against very strong opponents and got some great game time together before the FOBISIA Games at the start of June. Our U11 teams won both their tournaments with the girls winning all of their games. Our younger teams continue to progress well with our U9 girls and U9 boys B team achieving some of their best results of the season. Well done to all the children and thank you for the great support from our STA parents.
Friendly vs Thai Singapore - Monday 21st May 3pm-4.30pm- U9/11 Boys
Our STA Under 11 Flames Tennis Squad participated in an invitational friendly against 2 other area schools on Sunday. Fun and competitive matches such as these instil a passion the game in our young and talented team.
Our tennis players continue to develop within our new tennis program and it was evident in our children’s recent performances against strong opposition. Well done to the children involved.
On Thursday we had our Primary TISAC Badminton tournament. Our U9 and U11 squads played some exceptional badminton. The U9 squad won their team trophy with some outstanding play in their finals and our U11 squad came second overall.
Athletics training takes place at the Ramkhamhaeng University Track on 16 an 23rd May. This will be great preparation for our young athletes to work on their track and field events in the proper environment.
It is now time to start thinking about the kit your child will need for the FOBISIA Games. All items are available in the Uniform Shop. If your child does not have the Flames Teeball logo on their PE top please bring it to K. Seung to have the logo added.

Wednesday - All FOBISIA SQUAD (Years 6,5,4) will have athletics training. This will give all children a chance to work on their athletic events.
Friday - All FOBISIA SQUAD (Years 6,5,4) will have teeball training at the Arsenal training facility Pridi Soi 21. We normally only do this a couple of times before FOBISIA, but by using the bigger teeball pitches at Arsenal for longer, we will be better prepared.
If you have any questions please email Mr Damon.
We hope you may have had a chance to look at our news Sports portal, where we are already posting fixtures, team sheets, photos etc for our busy sports schedule. You may access it using this link.
The site is open for players and parents alike to check rosters, schedules etc. It is a great tool for communication between coaches, players and parents, though unlike the current system, the emphasis will be on parents and players to be proactive in checking the site, rather than awaiting emails from coaches!
We will still need to communicate via email for transport requirements for the time being.
Mr. Ollie presented the new system to the High School students in early March so that they may get to know it. He’ll recommend to them that they show it to you too, in case you’re interested.
We recommend that you visit the site and familiarise yourself with it. If you have any feedback, please let either Mr Damon or Mr Ollie know.
By August, we hope everyone will be ready to use SOCS to follow the action!
Our Saturday programme continues to grow and it is great seeing so many of our STA children coming to school to enjoy playing sport together.
On Saturday we had our very first Saturday football. Close to 60 children were at STA on Saturday to enjoy playing football. In case of bad weather, training will continue in the Red Room.
Due to a recent development, Saturday Football on the 16 June cannot take place so it will change to 19 May. I will confirm this in an email.
Our Open basketball and Flames Academy sessions continue to grow with many children enjoying the game and being coached at a high level of basketball.
If you would like to know more about our Saturday programme please email Mr Damon.
