A busy first few weeks in Boarding

We have almost been back a month now and what a busy start we have had! Our boarders have settled into new routines and have been making the most of the extensive activities programme that has been set up our GAP staff. At the moment football has been a very popular evening activity choice, and the boys are currently preparing for a match against Ascot School. We are also arranging an evening of Sports against the Regent’s School staff on the 9th October, followed by a BBQ! The whole house also attended the school’s 20th anniversary celebrations at the Thai Cultural Centre, which was a great night out enjoying the many musical talents of our school.

Weekend trips continue to provide boarders with the chance to get out of the house to experience something new. Wakeboarding, the zoo, ice skating, the mall, karaoke, and bowling have all been offered so far. Staff have also been coming into the house on Wednesday evenings to offer activities such as jewellery making, cooking, and drawing.

We would like to offer our congratulations to Chad Lee and Lita Theng who have been selected as Captains of Boarders, and to Rajan Roka and Akari Tokuchi who will be Vice Captains of Boarders. They will be acting as a voice for their fellow boarders and liaising with staff to improve the boarding experience. We wish them the best of luck in their new roles, and are confident they will do the house proud!

Welcome back from Boarding

11873645_951512964890295_4573933561101242344_nSunday 23rd August 2015 saw the school’s boarding house open its doors to the new school year, welcoming back existing and new boarding students alike.

A boarding orientation event was held to introduce new parents to the team of staff responsible for the Boarding House. It gave us a chance to outline our philosophy for the coming year and some of the features that will be in place to provide the best opportunities and experiences for our boarders.The event was extremely well attended with extra seating having to be brought in at the last minute!

We would like to thank all parents and students who attended. We are looking forward to a great year and to keeping you up to date with news from the Boarding House. A very warm welcome back everyone.

For more information about Boarding please contact Gavin Terry (gavin.terry@regents.ac.th) for the Boys’ Boarding House, or Tamsin Harrison (tamsin.harrison@regents.ac.th) for the Girls’ Boarding House.

A message from the Principal, Mr. Peter Hogan – Welcome to Academic Year 2015-16

Peter Hogan3A warm welcome to all returning and new students. We start this term with our largest ever number of students, our best ever IB Diploma result, excellent IGCSE grades and a number of improvements to the campus.

Examination success

Over the summer break we learned that our average IB Diploma score was 36.1 which is higher than most other Asian countries’ and very likely to be the highest average score in Thailand this year. The highest individual score was 43 out of 45 and the school pass rate was 100%.

IGCSE pass rates were excellent too. A record-breaking 37% of all exams were passed at the top grades of A* and A, 80% of exams were passed at A* to C and 72% of students gained 5 A* to C. Particularly impressive as well was the 100% pass in English Language and English Literature.

New Sixth Form Course

This term we will be launching the Applied Learning course allowing some Year 12 students to study for the Level 3 BTEC in Business. This is a very popular qualification in the UK. Also we have become an accredited centre for the highly regarded International Computer Driving Licence IT qualification.

Staff news

We are welcoming 14 new teaching staff. Regent’s staff turnover at just over 13% is considerably less than other schools in the international sector.

School improvements

Over the holiday a number of projects have ben completed at the school. These include:

  • New library and ICT room in Primary
  • New covered play area next to the basketball court
  • Covered walkway between Primary and Secondary
  • The Rama 9 campus pool has been drained, improved, repaired and re-filled
  • Redecoration to the staff common room in Secondary
  • Some redecoration in Secondary Art and in the library
  • Improvements to the decoration in the Secondary dining room and IB suite

New website
