For the inter-school debate last week students were discussing education and the pros and cons of single sex education. Some students were worried about lack of socialisation whereas others felt single sex education might provide a more focused environment with fewer distractions.

We were very pleased to welcome a representative from the University of British Columbia to talk to our Y12 and Y13 students about their courses and campus life in Vancouver and Okanagan. Regent’s enjoys a great relationship with UBC and we are encouraging our current students to find out more from the four 2016 leavers who secured places there.
Upcoming visits include City University, HK, Carleton University, Canada and University College Dublin, Ireland and don’t miss the talk about how to secure a place to study Medicine at Thammasat University on November 1st at 3pm. Please encourage your son/daughter to show you the information on the Google Classroom about all the university fairs and events that are taking place at school and in Bangkok.
Year 11 have been working hard in Physics this week, adding their creative ideas to their Physics knowledge. Miss Howe explains;
We have been studying methods of heat energy transfer in Year 11 IGCSE Physics. They are making model houses that contain various methods of insulation. They will then present their houses to the rest of the group, explaining how their methods of insulation reduce heat energy loss.
All students were enjoying themselves and reaffirming their knowledge and understanding.
Last week saw the first of the New Students Party, which some have described as being the party of the year. The party was arranged for students who were new to Regents International after their first 3 weeks and was held in the new study room. It was a chance to meet up and see how everyone was settling in and a time to relax and enjoy themselves. There was some delicious food put out which vanished in seconds and some live music from teachers and pupils. A special mention to Prair who sang two songs in fantastic style.
The Regent’s International School, Bangkok is famous for its friendly, inclusive atmosphere where all of the students are willing to help each other out. Especially when learning English! This month, our Year 12 students are spearheading the Buddy Reading Scheme to assist some of their younger counterparts with literacy skills. What better way to meet new friends than over a good book?
In a comfortable, relaxed setting, students can foster a love of reading together whilst helping to further their knowledge of both the teaching and learning process. Whether their assistance is through translation, explaining difficult words, or by asking comprehension questions; our Y12s are dedicated to helping their buddies become more confident with reading.
Our new IB cohort definitely have to be commended for giving up their time to such a worthwhile cause.
As an initiative to educate our students about the ‘E’ (Environmental stewardship) from the Round Square IDEALS the secondary school committee organised an eco-friendly fashion show.
The students had to design their outfits from waste materials and earn points for their house.
It was great to see the students get creative with their outfits.
Congratulations to the Blue House for achieving the maximum score. Red was 2nd, Green 3rd and Yellow 4th.
The TISAC Basketball season is beginning to ‘Tip Off’ this term and Regent’s U13, U15 and Senior boys and girls teams have been training hard both in lessons and after school in preparation for their matches. With new coaches on board and plenty of opportunities for new and existing players to join the teams, Regent’s Basketball is hoping for a very successful season ahead.
Best of luck to all the teams this year!
Congratulations to our first winning team of the season – The U15 girls
The U15 girls basketball team won their first basketball fixture of the season against St Andrews 107.
