Well done to all the KS2 children from Years 3-6 for participating in the TTRS Rest of the World Rocks competition last week. The pupils thoroughly enjoyed competing against schools from around the globe. It was fantastic to see the children come together as a team to climb the leaderboard.
I am thrilled to announce that St Andrews International School finished 3rd overall in the Rest of the World Rocks competition based on total score. The challenge required children to answer as many multiplication and division questions correctly as possible, giving their class and school the best chance of winning. The competition was intense, with questions answered by 55,593 pupils from more than 435 schools and 4,667 classes across the world!
Our school statistics were equally impressive:
Highest Scoring school in the world: 3rd Place
Highest Scoring schools in Bangkok: 1st Place
Highest scoring class at STA and total class score:
Most Valuable Players (MVP) in St Andrews International School
A special congratulations to Maho Takeda from 6H, who finished 14th place out of the Bangkok Schools – Well done, Maho!

Summer camps are a valuable opportunity for students to continue learning and growing in new ways outside school. Children build confidence, develop new skills and interests, make new friends, and stay mentally engaged in a relaxed, supportive environment. Through hands-on activities in sports, arts, music, robotics, and more, students are encouraged to try new things, solve problems, and work together with students from different schools and communities come together.
Four senior students from St Andrews Bangkok proudly represented our school at the NAE Student Summit 2025, held at The Village School in Houston, Texas. Joined by peers from 52 Nord Anglia schools worldwide, they spent a week developing their leadership skills through workshops, hands-on activities, and expert-led sessions focused on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Highlights included working with UNICEF and the World’s Largest Lesson, volunteering at the Houston Food Bank to help provide over 12,000 meals, and presenting a capstone project on improving access to healthcare in Bangkok.
The Marble Run Expo at St Andrews Bangkok is a powerful example of how inter-year group collaboration enriches learning across age levels. Year 7 students, working as designers and project leaders, created personalised marble runs for their Foundation Stage ‘clients’ - an engaging challenge that fostered empathy, active listening, and creative problem-solving. Through this event, older students gained confidence, leadership skills, and the ability to adapt communication for younger audiences, while our youngest learners were empowered by seeing their ideas brought to life and felt inspired to incorporate some design elements in their own marble runs.
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.
