During the week, the girls shadowed some of our Year 9 students (some of whom had visited VDJS before Christmas in a Regents Exchange to India) and experienced a typical school day at Regents and an interesting trip to Arts in Paradise.
This year’s literary festival was a roaring success with our students going from strength to strength. There was a series of events arranged and hosted by the English and EAL Department. In Year Group assemblies, students had to match the picture of a book shelf, or ‘shelfie’, to the teacher. What does what we read say about us?! This year’s film night of ‘The Maze Runner’ drew the largest crowd to-date.
Late January and early February captured the spirit of Regents International School Pattaya: a big school which can give opportunities to all its students
Liam Day, Juilliard Alumnus and Sub-Principal Trumpet with the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra visited Regents International School Pattaya on Tuesday 1st December.
One of the most exciting outcomes from The Juilliard Continuing Professional Development was that we got to meet our Juilliard Curriculum Specialist, Kathryn Anderson, who is linked to our school and will be working alongside the Regents Music Staff to introduce and embed the curriculum. Kathryn will be visiting us 3 times this year and is very excited about her first trip to Regents at the end of October.
What a great start to the Year we’ve had. I knew this School was special when I made a preliminary visit in May, but the students here have a passion and bravery like nothing I’ve ever witnessed before.
Have you ever heard of the saying “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?” Well, that’s something that your teachers are setting out to prove wrong. At our school we believe that with support and opportunity, commitment and perseverance you can learn anything.
Twenty five eager and excited students arrived on Monday afterschool to start their first session. We started in tutorial mode where students had to work through different missions and scenarios learning the controls of Minecraft as they went. Often the students, who are more experienced in using Minecraft, were helping Mr Parsons or myself as we got lost or stuck.
