Children at St Andrews International School Bangkok were treated to lots of Halloween fun in the Primary School Library with activities, spooky books and movies. Your donations of used books is still welcome and will help earn house points.
We had a lot of spooky goings on in the Primary School Library this week and also some unwanted visitors! The children really enjoyed creating some amazing pumpkin designs and carefully honed their word skills to write ghoulish Halloween Haikus. We gave out 50+ house points so well done to everyone who took part. Our spookiest titles literally flew out the door and we darkened down the resource room during KS2 lunchtime from Wednesday to Friday when the children huddled together to watch some [not too] creepy episodes of “The Worst Witch”. With the week culminating in ‘Frightful Friday’ a good time was had by all!
We put out a lot of lovely shiny new books this week from our recent Scholastic and Kinokuniya orders including the very popular and updated Mr Men series and some new ‘graphic’ or visual novels in a comic style for our older junior readers.
Our Week 11 books feature cats, owls, bears and dinosaurs and are great for all ages and levels. We hope you enjoy them.
We are still happy to receive your donations of used books for our used-book sale. Please bring them into the Library by Friday 16 November and earn house points. Our next Book Fair & Used Books Sale will take place throughout the week commencing 26 November.

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.
