The Whole School Choir are sounding fantastic. We had our 3rd rehearsal on Monday and it’s great to hear that we are mastering some challenging harmonies already!
Whole School Choir involves everyone from the school community! So why not give it a try next week!

Last weekend we welcomed Bangkok Bobble Football to our boarding campus. Twelve of our students had great fun bumping into each other playing football inside giant inflatable bubbles. The staff were happy to get involved too, and students enjoyed trying to knock them over! Ichigo was the only girl, and did a great job taking on the boys, managing to knock some of them over. She did end up upside down a few times herself though!
The rain has hampered many of our outdoor activity plans. Most evenings sports activities on the grass have had to be changed to indoor ones, and one of weekend cycling trips had to be postponed in favour of a dry trip to the mall instead. With a miserable forecast for the coming week we have also had to postpone our hotly anticipated ‘Staff vs Boarders’ sports evening until after the half term break in November. Our boarders are disappointed, but it gives the staff more chance to practice so it can be a closer game!
We were also proud to present our new Captains and Vice Captains of Boarding with their badges in a Secondary assembly, deservedly recognising their achievements in front of the school. We hope they wear them with pride and continue to serve the Boarding House well.

It is with great regret the my first decision as the incoming Head of Outdoor Education was to postpone the the Year 7 residential trip. There were a number of factors that led us to this decision; the main and overriding one being that I want our pupils to gain the best experience possible.
I am in the process of organising another trip for Year 7 that will dovetail perfectly with trips they will be taking in future years. By using www.bigoutdoorsthailand.com we are able to construct a bespoke and progressive program for the pupils form Year 7 through to the end of their Regent’s Outdoor Education experience; combining continuity with a first class experience.

The Year 10 Art students have working hard this term on their first piece of coursework, they have been learning about tone and values. They were asked to choose an image by an Artist they admired, we studied the tonal values, how the Artist was able to render the shapes and how to create Form within our work.
Here are a few of their beautiful pencil studies, for a closer look come and see them in the foyer of the Secondary building.

On Friday 2nd October, 9 Music Scholars, along with Miss Teague and Mr. Ansell traveled to Central World, having been invited to perform at the opening of the American Food Fair.
With a planned repertoire of American hits including medleys from ‘Wicked’ and ‘Frozen’, we arrived to discover that ‘Singing in the Rain’ would have been more appropriate!
A huge thunderstorm had left the outdoor event looking a bit soggy, but we weren’t going to let that stop us, and the students performed excellently, demonstrating again what excellent Music scholars we have at the school.

On Friday 2nd October, Regent’s Secondary School held their first ever SALAD Day. No, this does not mean everybody in the building ate salad for the whole day; SALAD is a literacy initiative originating in the UK which helps generate more focus around speaking and listening skills. SALAD stands for Speaking And Listening All Day; the clue is in the title! For all KS3 students and teachers pens and writing on devices was absolutely banned and all learning had to take place through performance or discussion related tasks.
All departments went to an extra special effort to make these lesson exciting and the school was buzzing with the hum of activity all morning. Teachers had very tightly structured lessons to make sure each students was taking part and was given the chance to speak; it was certainly impressive to see the both the quality and variety of lesson our Regent’s teachers were able to create for our students.
We can’t wait until the next SALAD Day!
