The Under 9’s Year 3 and 4 football team have been competing in this year’s TISAC competition.  The finals were played at Regent’s school. The team won the first match 2-1, the second match 5-0 and they drew the final game against 1-1. This meant that our team were the competition champions. Well done to all of the squad for your effort, skill and courage!

Under 15 Boys Win the TISAC Group C Football League

The annual TISAC U15 Boys Football Tournament took place at Ascot School last Saturday. In the group stages we were unbeaten after playing against Ascot, Bromsgrove, Singapore IS and St Andrews 107. After some great early chances to score we were unlucky to lose to Bangkok Prep in the semi finals. Finishing fourth overall the boys performed outstandingly throughout the tournament and have proven that they can compete with the best teams in TISAC. The future looks very bright for this team-well done to everyone!

 

Model United Nations Pattaya

On Saturday 10th March a group of Year 10 and Year 13 students went to Regent’s Pattaya for a Model United Nations Conference. Topics discussed included the reunification of the Korean peninsula, women’s reproductive rights and the treatment of refugees. The students all worked really hard and used their negotiating skills to make allies and pass resolutions. JS took on the responsible position of chairing the SPECPOL committee, managing proceedings and keeping order while Cookie did a fantastic job chairing ECOSOC. In addition and on a lighter note, Tiwaz was the proud recipient of the coveted “Best Dressed Delegate” award. Overall, an impressive effort by everyone involved!

 

FOBISIA Golf Tournament 2018

The annual FOBISIA Golf Championships was held at the prestigious Black Mountain Golf Course last week. All of the student’s performed magnificently as they battled hard to show all the schools in Asia that Regent’s, Bangkok has some of the best young golfers in this part of the world.
The course has recently been rated the 59th best Golf course in the world and was therefore a fantastic setting for such an occasion. Regent’s, Bangkok took 7 players to the Championships with students from Year 6 to Year 12. The tournament was a two day event, culminating in an awards ceremony for both individual and team prizes. With some extremely experienced golfers present at the Championships, it made for an exciting and tough competition.
The awards are as follows: Jenny (Year 12) 1st place overall U19 girls / 1st place overall girls gross; Mac (Year 7) 3rd place overall boys gross / 2nd overall U11 boys / Nearest the pin x 2; Stephen (Year 6) 4th place overall U11 Boys / longest drive / Nearest the pin; Mac/Stephen (Year 7 and Year  6) – 3rd place Team U11 boys and Mic (Year 8) 3rd place overall U13 boys

British Science Week: STEM Challenge Day 2018

Regent’s have just hosted an inter-school Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Challenge. Teams of Year 10 students from 10 international  schools took part and were challenged-to find solutions to the global problem of plastic waste. The quantity and quality of work produced by all students throughout the day was excellent. Teams did STEM, their schools and themselves proud and everyone showed tremendous imagination and ingenuity. We hope to see all schools back with us for next year’s challenge.

British Science Week: F1 Model Car DemonStration

We were very fortunate on 13th March to have Formula One in Schools bring their racing demonstration into Regent’s. Inspired by what we saw and did we plan to build a team to participate in the F1 STEM Challenge. On the day of the visit all students (and some staff) had great fun racing the F1 Gas Powered Cars on the purpose built track.
