A variety of House competitions have kept the St Andrews International School Bangkok Primary School busy in different ways.
A large number of students came to take part in Mr Nick’s coding competition last Friday. It was great to see them use their ICT skills in such a productive and successful way! Congratulations to Arm for being the first student to complete the coding challenge.
Ms Helen was quite overwhelmed by the fantastic response to her Eco-Beast competition, which was launched last week. The purpose of this competition is to design a beast logo for the new sustainability website.
This website has been designed with the intention of uniting the Bangkok international school community around issues of sustainability in an attempt to make our city cleaner, greener and more environmentally aware. The competition is running in 16 other Bangkok schools and the official date to announce the overall school winner will be after half term.
Here are some of Ms Helen’s favourite designs so far:
Ms Helen liked one student's design so much that she was given the chance to harvest and take home an enormous bok choy that had grown in the vegetable garden on the roof of the R building!
Finally, don’t forget to take part in our STARS House competition:
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.
