Thai K9 Search and Rescue At Regent’s

As part of the annual ‘Round Square Week’ our students were treated to a display by the Thai K9 Search and Rescue Team. This voluntary run organisation educated our students on how important dogs can be within our society.

They explained how their dogs undergo extensive training to make sure they are ready should there be a sudden emergency such as a natural disaster or a building collapse. The dogs are trained to use their incredible sense of smell to search for missing people, and alert their handler once they have found them.

A mock earthquake scene was set up in the secondary foyer and dogs were sent to search for our students who volunteered to be “missing victims”. It was fantastic to watch the dogs working and helping humans in such a way, and the students were delighted and amazed by their skills. The team also demonstrated K9 Savannah’s other impressive skills: She is Thailand’s only cancer detection dog, and is also Thailand’s only therapy dog for disabled people.

Primary Choir sing for the Queen of England’s birthday

Regent’s Primary Choir was selected to perform for the Queen of England’s birthday celebrations organised by The British Embassy on 15th June. Our students were invited to Grand Hyatt for the celebration where they performed beautifully on stage with the British Ambassador in front of a large audience.  They have been working very hard perfecting the Thai Royal anthem and the British National anthem and they delivered a wonderful performance. Well done to all involved.

Nursery to Reception Transition

As we come to an end of the 2016-2017 academic year, students and parents are both curious and wish to prepare for the next stage. Our Early Years Nursery teachers arranged a meeting to explain parents about the transition from Nursery to Reception. Education and learning in Reception is comparatively different from Nursery and Pre-nursery as the teachers will be preparing the students for Primary school where subjects and activities will diversify.

Fun learning in Year 6

During the war, rationing had to happen to save food (people were only allowed small quantities). Recipes were devised to make food, but with less ingredients.

6J did some World War 2 cooking and made some ‘ration cakes’ – following an actual recipe from World War 2. 

Boarding Updates – May 2017

A big event for many of our Senior boarders this past month was the Leavers’ Prom. This was the final farewell for our Y13’s, and a number of our Y12’s and Y11’s also joined the celebration. It was a lovely event ending their time with us at Regent’s with a fun-filled evening of entertainment…and many many photos. It is so sad for staff to say goodbye to our Y13’s after looking after them for so long, but we wish all the happiness and success possible for their future.

As an additional farewell some of the Senior Boys and staff went for an evening watching a Thai Premier League football match and a pizza. Fortunately we were lucky enough to witness lots of goals in a thrilling match that finished 5-3!

It is also time for the Boarding House to say farewell to Ms Tamsin Crozier, the Head of Girls’ Boarding. Everyone would like to thank her for her hard work and commitment to the House, and wish her well in the future. Moving into the role we welcome Miss Anna Croucher, who is really eager and excited to be taking on the responsibilities associated with Boarding, and joining us with lots of new ideas to make the boarding experience even better for our students. Here is a welcome message from Miss Croucher

– Gavin Terry (Head of Boys’ Boarding)
