Welcome back.
We hope everyone had a relaxing, restful time during the school break. Throughout the break, the Simon Lawrence Library received a lot of new books and is now looking forward to welcoming you to the Library to enjoy these exciting new titles as well as fun events we have planned for this school year, details of which will appear in future Newsletters. We are counting on your ongoing support and participation in our Library events and we hope to make the Simon Lawrence Library an even more amazing place for the High School community in 2018-2019. Should you have any ideas/suggestions/opinions, please feel free to contact us at libraryhs@standrews.ac.th.
We have updated our library system with new books and we now have two OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog) stations in the Library. One is near the entrance and the other is on the pole next to the Fiction section. You can access our library system, Destiny, by entering a keyword or phrase into the Destiny Widget to search for a book you want to read or find any available digital resources related to your research topic. In addition, our library system comes with a fantastic feature called “WebPath Express” in the “Catalog” tab. You can type your topic, e.g., Water Quality Control, in the search bar and press enter. Then select on the right, the tab "Web Sites". The search result will show you selected reliable websites with regards to your entered topic. You can even narrow it down by level, format and even language! A perfect and safe way of browsing the internet. We hope you enjoy new features in the library.
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.
Nine Year 11 and 12 students from St Andrews recently embarked on a service trip to Buriram in northeast Thailand to visit the Mechai Pattana Bamboo School, which has a unique model of education that blends academics with sustainability practices, entrepreneurship, and community development. St Andrews students engaged in hands-on activities and cultural exchange with local student boarders to gain first-hand experience for unique initiatives such as the ‘Agriculture for the Blind’ programme.
Harry, Class of 2025, shares his experience on the International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme (IBCP). He is a passionate and driven young learner with a keen interest in hospitality and the service industry. One of the standout features of Harry’s IBCP experience was the opportunity to gain work experience working in the office and the operations side of getfresh, a popular cafe franchise in Bangkok.
At St Andrews Bangkok, we believe that every student deserves to feel seen, valued, and included both inside and outside the classroom. That’s why we are incredibly proud to introduce the Friendship Benches project, an initiative designed to foster connection, kindness, and community spirit across the school.
