Regent’s Rising Economists!

On the 16th of June, six Year 12 students embarked on an Economics trip to Shrewsbury and the Bank of Thailand, as a part of an economics essay competition. The competition, involved essay writing on the topics of sustainability and free trade, after which two exceptional students, Utsav and Veli’s essay were shortlisted to be represented in the event. The occasion was attended by top international schools in Thailand, and we are very proud to say that both of our shortlisted delegates were runner ups, and were awarded by Prof. Thitinan Pongsudhirak of Chulalongkorn University. Following the presentations, the students headed of to Chatrium for an appetizing meal with a fantastic view of the whole city! The day then continued with our visit to the Bank of Thailand, where the student got the opportunity to listed to a discussion of 3 officials, who interacted with students and talked about the initial phases of their career and also the economic history of Thailand.

It was in fact a privilege for all students to have such a learning trip! We are sure our students would move on to be important figures in the economic world!

Summer Camp 2016

The three weeks of learning at our Summer Camp have taken the students on a journey of discovery. We were very happy to see some students from other provinces and countries join us at the school. The Camp gave all the students a chance to interact in a globally diverse environment. We are sure everyone is taking away some precious memories to cherish. We wish you all a safe and happy summer!

Regent’s Got Talent (Secondary)

To end our school year on a great note, the Prefects of secondary school organised a spectacular talent show, branded as “Regents Got Talent”, which in fact resulted in the exposure of new talents that were never seen before! The preparations started two weeks in advance, with a signing up process and also auditions, with nine performances in total. The show included a mixture of singing, dancing and band performances. Moreover, a special show was organised by all the teachers who were leaving. In accordance to our Round Square IDEALS, there in fact as a great variation in cultural performances, with Male singing a Thai Song, FIVE AND ONLY dancing to a Korean pop and DESI STREET KROO grooving to upbeat Indian music. Other performances included THE KYMES and CHICKEN NOVA, both of which were optimistic signs that Regents will host great musicians in the future, and also our young talents in the group GAM, who clearly showed that we have young singers!

A special mention to our winners… The third place was awarded to FIVE AND ONLY for a well coordinated dance, while the second place was ordered to LENNY (Jenny & Lissa) for a soulful performance with vocals by Lisa and Jenny on the Piano. The first place was awarded to our solo performer MIDI for performing “Lost Stars” by Adam Levine, which we must say Midi sang better than the original singer! Regents Got Talent carried an immensely energetic vibe thanks to friends of performers constantly on their toes and our great set of Judges, Mr. Barrow, Mr. Mitov, Khru Em and Ms. Neill.

We surely look forward to see what talent is to be shown next year!

 

End of the year Boarding updates

Now we are in the final week of term our activities have been geared towards heading home for the holidays and celebrating a fantastic year together. Student’s asked for a mall trip last Saturday, so they could buy presents for their friends and family on their return home.

The Boys’ House had a BBQ pool party to celebrate the year, with some great food cooked by Houseparent Eddie and GAP staff Daniel. It finished with everyone pushed in the pool. The boys also had a cinema trip instead of prep – as there were no homework deadlines in the last week. There is another BBQ planned for our penultimate day, again organised by our BBQ-master Mr Eddie, for both House’s.

The Head’s of House would like to thank all the staff involved with boarding throughout the year for their hard work and commitment, and to wish all the students a happy and safe holiday. We thank our departing GAP staff for their help and support, and wish them the very best in their future endeavours.

Weekly Debate (June W4)

Before the students left for their summer break, they took part in the final online debate week. The topic of debate was “using captive animals for tourism”. Answers varied with many students drawing on their experiences at Love Wildlife Foundation and Samphran Riverside.  Many thought that the use of animals was cruel exploitation, whereas others felt that some uses of captive animals provide useful learning tools.

Read individual opinions here.

Each week students are challenged to engage in a whole-school debate about a variety of different topics.  The Weekly Debate is an excellent forum for students to learn about and question new things; improve their written English and hone their skills of evaluation.  The Weekly Debate takes place on padlet – a wonderful tool which shows a live feed of students’ opinions and ideas.
