As part of the CAS provision, Year 12 students kick off some of their service projects and experiences with Mermaids Dive School Reef Clean.
Over the weekend over 150 snorkelers and divers from St Andrews International School Bangkok, Regents International School Pattaya, Garden International School Bangkok and Tara Pattana International School came together for this extremely worthwhile CAS collaboration. We managed to pick up an estimated 500kg's of trash on the day. Students were taught about the damaging effect of litter in the sea and the detrimental impact it is having on ecosystems within our local reefs. Many of our STA Community was collecting heavy rubbish that had sank to the sea bed whilst the rest of the team were combing the shallow waters and beach for washed up junk. A huge thanks to all the Mermaids Team, Dr Siona, Dr Paul, Miss Lisa and of course all out volunteers for making this day possible with their hard work, dedication and passion for our ocean.
With the goal of providing meaningful help to the flood victims in the northern regions of Thailand, our entire community at St Andrews Bangkok came together to raise funds and donations for the affected families. In the span of a few short weeks, added to donations of food and clothing, we managed to raise an astounding total of 386,676.50 THB in donation funds. To all students, teachers, parents, and staff who participated in our efforts and contributed to this cause—thank you!
Last Friday, the STA Primary campus was transformed into a celebration of all things maths! The day was packed with engaging, hands-on activities across all year groups, making maths truly come alive for our students.
Senior student at St Andrews Bangkok, Pun (Year 13), devises an innovative solution for effective waste management. Recently, he completed an ambitious project: an AI-powered waste sorting system. After much research and testing, he got the system to work and put the model to use in one of our rooms at school!
Physics students from St Andrews Bangkok made quite an impression at the Beamline for Schools (BL4S) competition and won the Best Outreach Award for their brilliant work. BL4S is a prestigious global physics contest organised by CERN (the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva, Switzerland) and DESY (the German Electron Synchrotron in Hamburg, Germany), inviting High School students worldwide to propose detailed experiments to be conducted at a particle accelerator beamline. While our students did not win the main prize of conducting their experiment in Geneva, they still stood out and were recognised from an entry of over 400 teams.
