Drama students at Regents International School Pattaya have been exploring the fascinating development of mask theatre. The Trestle mask technique complements the students’ study of the plain white neutral mask and the anarchic world of Commedia dell Arte where characters wear half-masks and are allowed to speak!

A few weeks ago Mrs Rand's Year 1 class invited our two South African Gap Staff, Kelebogile Sediane and Tlotlano Kgosieng to their classroom to learn a little bit more about what life is like on the African continent. Kele, who recently joined our Gap Staff this term, tells us what it was like to be interviewed by the enthusiastic Year 1 class. Well done to our junior journos!
Our commitment as a Round Square school continues with a number of wonderful conservation trips offered during the academic year for our students to participate in. One of those trips took place in August when a group of students and staff visited the Juara Turtle Project on Tioman Island.

The day we were waiting for was here… the day that we went on a long flight to Australia for The Young Round Square Conference. Thinking about what Tasmania was going to be like, Doy, EJ and I were so excited, that we couldn’t be silent for a second! Finally, tired but excited from a lot of travelling through some beautiful scenery, we arrived at Scotch Oakburn College.
Just when we thought it might be nice to have a conference of some type for local Primary Schools, along comes Scotch Oakburn College with an invitation to visit their beautiful campuses in Tasmania for a Young Round Square Conference.
All the knowledge that I learnt from the trip and the things I did during the trip will help me in the future. I am going share all of my experiences from this trip with my family, friends and the whole assembly at my school.
Using funds from the Round Square Special Projects budget, I am pleased to announce that we were able to offer scholarships to six Primary aged-children and three university students. These children, and their families, are very thankful for the support and the opportunity which Regents has given them and in return, we will be updated on how the students are getting on in their education throughout the year.
