Our Year 7 students share their thoughts about the experience:
“I’m very thankful to receive the seeds from Mr Paul. I’m excited to grow it and will take extra care so it stays healthy. I’ve learned from past mistakes and advice from gardeners, and I’ll try my best to keep my seed alive. I’m very honoured to be able to take care of these plants and be able to take photos and talk with Mr Paul, Mr Roo, Kroo Woke, and Khun Big. It was a special experience to meet all of these teachers.”

“I’m proud to receive the seeds from Mr. Paul and Mr Roo. I’ve learned a lot from them and am doing my best to care for the plant. Growing trees has helped me understand how challenging it is to grow plants, but I’m determined to keep them alive. This project has been special because so many teachers, including the gardening team and Khun Big, supported us.”

“I’ve been to other international and Japanese schools, but STA gave me a chance to meet and talk with the principal, Mr Paul, and other teachers, and I planted a real seed. That was very special, and I think my friends would be surprised to hear about this chance. I also learned new things and had fun.”
- Sara
“I met Mr Roo and Khun Ami and helped plant a seed with my friends. I handed out soil and wet wipes, and we took a photo together. Later, Ms Kiyomi told us a gardener kindly brought us tree seed pods to explore. I’m really thankful for this special, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity”.

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.
