Secondary Sports Day 2017

On Thursday 16th of February the annual Secondary Sports Day took place at Ramkhamhaeng University Stadium. Students of all abilities competed in a range of individual and team athletic events throughout the day. This included a range of both traditional track and field events and also some extra events such as the Tug of War and Speed Bounce competitions. There was also a staff relay at the end, which involved various fun activities like the egg and spoon and 3 legged races. All of the students had an incredibly enjoyable day and relished in the competitive environment in order to challenge for the Sports Day House Cup. The eventual winners were Yellow House who won by the tiniest of margins, only 3 points. Well done Yellow House. The age group cups were won by the following houses.

U13’s Cup – Blue House

U15 Cup – Yellow House

Senior Cup – Blue House

Boarding Updates Feb 2017

With many of our international students unable to return home for a short weeks holiday we took the 23 remaining students for 5 days in Hua Hin. Here students were able to enjoy the sun, sea and sand, with a lovely beach just at the end of the road.

We spent one day at an animal rescue sanctuary learning about the stories behind all the rescued animals, and providing a service to the charity by helping to feed the animals and clean out their enclosures.

We spent another day at the amazing Vana Nava water park, an evening at the colourful Hua Hin night market, and had day trips to the Monkey Temple and another stretch of natural beach front. On our last morning some of our students took the opportunity to enjoy a daring banana boat ride before we headed back to Bangkok.

A massive thank you to the students for representing the school so well, and to the boarding staff that helped run the trip. A fun and enjoyable time was had by all.

Thinking Hats Year 7 LTL

In Year 7 Learning to Learn, students have been learning about the six different ‘Thinking Hats’ that they will need to use in their studies to enhance meta-cognitive skills. Then the students design their own hats in groups. Each colour represents a cognitive skill, for example, yellow-represents positive and optimistic; neutral (white)-represents only looking at facts and figures; black-represents serious and sensible, cautious and careful; red-represents anger, emotions and negative stimuli; green-represents creative aspect and new ideas; blue-represents organised, cool and collected.
