Over the school closure and long holiday, the plants in our Secret Garden have grown and grown and grown...!
Our Secret Garden remains a lovely place to sit but has more of a jungle feel than a garden. KS2 students who sign up for the Eco-Beast ECA this term will be able to work with GROW, one of our community partners to develop the garden, but other classes will have the opportunity to get growing, too!
Our aim for this year is to turn the space into a more productive garden, giving children areas that they can develop at certain times during the year. They can grow and tend their plot, harvest, cook or sell their produce.
If you are a gardener and would like to get involved, please register your interest with Ms Susan in Y1.
You will know that a highlight of this half term is our much anticipated International Day. As Mr Paul mentioned in this week’s Head’s Lines, this will go ahead, but in discussion with the PTG Committee, we have changed the format of the event in line with current Covid-19 guidelines. More details of this will be shared shortly, but one question we are already hearing is whether there will still be the opportunity for parents to organise short dances or other cultural shows. This remains a very important part of our International Day celebrations, and as usual, we will be inviting families to participate and share their rich cultures.
If your country group is interested in taking part in the community assemblies please contact Mr Geoff at geoff.ma@standrews.ac.th as soon as possible.
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.
