This week, four Senior VEX teams did incredibly well in the VEX Robotics Thai Nationals, pushing themselves to win a spot at the VEX World Championship in Dallas, Texas.

Over the past two terms, all of our Primary School students in their classes have taken turns to experience a virtual safari from our international school in Bangkok to Chiang Rai to learn from the hardworking heroes at the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation (GTAEF).

Thank you to everyone who participated in such a fun and varied Book Week. It was lovely to see the Great St Andrews Community celebrating events like Book Week again and so enthusiastic about it all! Below are some summaries and photos of each event.

The Primary and Foundations stages at STA embraced book character day last Friday by putting in a huge effort to create amazing costumes to share with their friends. We had so many Harry Potters running around I thought I was in Hogwarts at one point!

Book Week has finally arrived here at STA! The students excitedly came through the gates or met us online, to see all the wonderful things planned for this week.

For the first time in some years, we are celebrating Book Week as a whole school community We have a range of exciting activities planned that will bring our Primary and High School students together in their celebration of books!

This half term, we have lots to look forward to! Picking up where the last half term left off, everyone will jump right back into their Extra-Curricular Activities before school, after school, and even on weekends. Also, our annual Book Week will launch across the whole school beginning on Monday 28th February. Learn more below.

Our International Day was a fantastic way to end the first half of the term. Highlights from the day included our multicultural Flag Parade and marvelous performances in the Atrium - a wonderful way to celebrate our Great, International, St Andrews Community. Beatrice and Giorgia (Year 12) capped the celebrations off, summing up the event with a fantastic report in our new STA Press Pack Activity that you can read below.

Maths day was an astounding success across the whole of Primary! Year 2 Superhero Day saw imaginative characters, superpowers, stories, and logos live in the flesh as children dressed up to celebrate their hard work. The Toys in Year 1 appeared to have come to life, causing mischief in the classrooms. Year 5 launched rockets on the school field, learning about the force needed to fire something into the sky.

Recently, 18 IGCSE Design Technology students’ performed outstanding ‘Design Ventura Sales Pitches’ in front of a St Andrews Design Specialist Judges panel.

The first half of this term has flown by, and we are approaching our postponed International Day, taking place this Friday! We have plenty of reasons to be excited for the coming months as our Under 15 Boys Football safely experienced their first competitive match in almost a year! We are all looking forward to more fixtures soon, with Badminton and Cricket fixtures up next and big plans for after half-term!

Since the introduction of the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), St Andrews has been working hard to understand the implications of this new law.
