Message from the Deputy Head of Secondary

Like all of you, our school wants all of its students to be happy at school. If our students are not happy, we can’t get the best out of them.

However, please consider also that happiness is not just contained in the here-and-now. Happiness is something that we must all try to build for the future. I’m sure that if we all said to our students, we’re banning homework and uniforms and all of the other areas that sometimes don’t make them happy, they would feel very happy. But that happiness would not last.

The secondary school has started at a great pace this year. We are all excited about the road ahead. The partnership between the school, parents and students is key to the success of our community.

We must work together to ensure that our students work hard, get involved and come to school on time. We must encourage our students to realise that working hard, getting involved and coming to school on time will actually develop their feelings of happiness. In the future, they will thank you and me for looking after them – and turning their dreams into reality.

IGCSE Updates – Physics Class

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.

Secondary New Students Party 2016

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.

Reading Buddy Scheme at Secondary

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.

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!
