Recently, 3 of our students submitted articles to compete in a Japanese language composition competition. If chosen, the students' pieces of work would be published in an education book. Keep reading to see how they got on...
The Japanese book title is ‘Chugakusei no Atama no Naka wo Nozoitara, Mirai ga Akaruku Narimashita; this translates to ‘Looking Inside of Junior High School Students’ Heads, the Future became Brighter’.
Over 17,000 Japanese students submitted a composition to the competition, and only 105 articles were selected for publishing. That’s 0.6% of those that submitted an article were selected!
Incredibly, 3 of our students were nominated for the final selection! To put this outstanding achievement into perspective; over 17,000 Japanese students submitted a composition to the competition, and only 105 articles were selected for publishing. That’s 0.6% of those that submitted an article!
We would like to congratulate Ran, Mako and Noko in Year 10 for their fantastic work and success!
Here's a great photo of Ran and the published book!

Students at St Andrews International School Bangkok have begun an exciting artificial intelligence project: integrating Nord Anglia’s “Misty the Robot” with conversational AI model, ChatGPT. Under the guidance of our Head of Robotics, Mr Rob Parker, they recently presented their results to Regional Managing Director, Mr Shaun Williams, as well as the Board of Directors at St Andrews, with the proposition of growing this project as a collaborative research venture across Nord Anglia schools.
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!
