Remembrance Service – 11th November

Although the last few weeks since the passing of King Bhumipol Adulyadej have been extremely sad, and a time for reflection, the secondary school gathered together at 11 am on the 11th November, as is tradition at the Regent’s School and around the world, to remember all those soldiers and civilians who have lost their lives in times of war. The service was observed by all pupils and staff in a very respectful manner and while the traditions of the original Remembrance Day, honouring service men and women who died in the First World War, was followed, secondary pupils also considered other remembrance traditions in other countries. Pupils laid a Japanese origami crane at the ‘peace’ tree in the school grounds under a placard with the simple words ‘We Remember’ to mark their respects to the fallen. We hope this Remembrance service with an international twist is a tradition that will continue for many years at the Regent’s School

Online Debate 2016/17 (Week 4)

For the inter-school debate last week students were discussing education and the pros and cons of single sex education. Some students were worried about lack of socialisation whereas others felt single sex education might provide a more focused environment with fewer distractions.

Online Debate 2016/17 (Week 3)

Last week’s debate required students to discuss current affairs with a debate on the ‘burkini ban’ enforced by the Mayor of Cannes in France. There were some very detailed arguments and counter arguments but the majority of Regent’s students agreed that women should be able to wear whatever they like on the beach, and to ban some items of clothing on the basis of religion is discriminatory.

Online Debate 2016/17 (Week 2)

Last week the students debated on the use of animal tourism in Thailand. Lots of students feel proud of having a magnificent animal like the elephant as the national symbol of Thailand and believe that tourism is good for the Thai economy. However, many others highlighted the cruelty of keeping elephants in captivity and questioned the ethics of exploiting the animals for cash.

Online Debate 2016/17 (Week 1)

New school year, new events, fresh thoughts! Our weekly online debate for the secondary school has resumed. Last week’s debate challenged students to reflect on the economic impact of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro with the motion “This House Believes the Olympics was a waste of money”. Students’ opinions varied, but many contributions highlighted the bitter irony of Rio’s own residents being unable to afford tickets to see the Games in their home city due to vast levels of poverty.
