The self checkout system is a very simple and efficient way to borrow books from the Library. Read through the instructions in this week’s article.
As you already know, the Self Checkout system was successfully implemented in the Simon Lawrence Library at the counter next to the Library entrance. The checkout process can be completed by students using one of four iPods as well as the touchscreen PC by students. The step-by-step instructions for using these devices are clearly displayed next to the devices as well as on the counter. Please read the instructions carefully in order to borrow any books (except Reference books) from the Library.
For newcomers to St Andrews International School Bangkok, the system is very simple and efficient with three easy-to-follow steps as shown below. First, scan the QR code on your ID badge. Second, scan the school barcode on the back of the book. Finally, click the “Reset” or “X” button to sign out. Please be reminded that you should bring your ID card in order to borrow (check out) any books from the Library. If you forget your badge, you will be asked to check your library account with the Library staff. Should you have any problems or questions with this system, please feel free to contact the High School librarians.
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.

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.
