Sports Day in Primary School is one of the most anticipated events of the academic year, bringing together the whole school community.
The sun shines bright, upbeat music echoes through the field, and everywhere you look, students are giving their best, with the resounding cheers from friends, parents, caregivers, and teachers.
Each year group competes within their House teams across football, basketball, multisport, and athletic activities, ranging from egg and spoon races in Foundation Stage 3 to shot put throws in Year 6. There are a large number of sports and activities for the students to compete in, and it’s a fight to the finish to see which House tallies up the most points!
Learning through movement: Sports Day is about moving and having a great time doing it. Whether students are running, jumping, skipping, or balancing, they’re not just using their bodies, but they’re also learning about focus, trying their best, and teamwork.
Creating happy memories: Whether it’s the giggles during an obstacle course, the thrill of a relay, the suspense of balancing an egg on a spoon, or seeing family and friends supporting from the sidelines, Sports Day is always a memorable day for everyone, especially the students.
Building teamwork and good sportsmanship: One of the best things about Sports Day is the way it brings everyone together. Students, teachers, and parents work in teams, encourage each other, and proudly cheer on their Houses. It’s a day full of high-fives, group hugs, and shared smiles. Team spirit and good sportsmanship are front and center. Learning to celebrate others’ success and to keep going when things get tough are important for the younger students to learn early on.
It’s a day when our school comes together to celebrate effort, teamwork, and joyful learning. When the day is done and the scores are counted, what matters most are the smiles, the friendships, and the memories made.
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.
