Secondary Speech Competition

Speech Competition at The Regent’s International School, Bangkok

Every year the English department kick of the first term with speech competitions. This year students had to write a rant with the title ‘Don’t Get Me Started On…’
We saw rants on a whole range of topics, from K-Pop, to pollution, to gender inequality and more. As well as being great fun, the students have also been practising their skills of communication, persuasive writing and how to structure a argument.
Well done to all speech writers!

On the 18th September, we embarked on our first Science Theme Day. The day itself involved all students in the secondary school from Y7 to Y12. The day was designed by the Science department to further develop the creative thinking skills of our secondary students. With the help of the newly formed Science Ambassadors, activities were implemented to challenge students to collaborate and innovate. There were 8 activities in total and 48 groups, the groups consisted of a student from each year group. This meant that our Y12 and Y11 students had the opportunity to develop their leadership skills and guide our younger students through the activities. Our Y12 Science Ambassadors led instructional introductions for each activity and ensured all students had a base starting point.

The activities were split into two strands one completing activities related to helicopters, paper umbrellas, satellites and sinking ships. The other strand had activities related to planes, robotic arms, paper turbines and hack boxes. The day was a great success with all students enjoying and then reporting to the groups from the opposite strand via video diaries. Some amazing innovations were produced and many students stood out within different areas. The Science department awarded certificates related to some of these areas at a celebration assembly on Tuesday 19th September. The awards, named after seven of the most famous engineers, the seven dwarfs, were awarded by the Science and DT teachers throughout the day. These included the Sneezy award for ‘Most creative’, the Sleepy award for ‘Most hardworking’, the Dopey award for the ‘Ideas person’, the Grumpy award for the ‘Most resilient’, the Doc award for ‘Best leader’, the Happy award for ‘Best team player’ and the Bashful award for ‘Best communicator’. Well done to all students who were awarded certificates you showed excellent skills in these areas.

The Science and DT teachers would like to thank all students that participated and especially the Science Ambassadors for their excellent work, we look forward to the next Science event.

Year 10 Outdoor Education Trip

53 of our finest year 10 students set off for the time of their lives! We traveled up to the Petcharat Scout Camp early on Monday morning full of excitement and anticipation. As soon as we arrived, we were divided into groups, shown our rooms and then set off to our activities. The students were given the opportunity to take part in a Cave Exploration, a Mountain Bike Safari and a Jungle Trek – with the chance to swim at the pool of a beautiful waterfall. The Students were also challenged with our 6 stage adventure race!
I though it was fantastic to see so many of our students enjoying and pushing themselves in activities that they may have never had the chance to take part in before; and to see the the spirit and teamwork that came from this was excellent!
