Last Wednesday, Years 10 and 11 IGCSE Thai and Years 12 and 13 IB Thai students had the opportunity to meet Khun Orasom Suddhisakorn, a documentary book writer who received the Silpathorn Award in 2009. The Silpathorn Award is an honouring award annually presented by the Office of Contemporary Art and Culture, Ministry of Culture, Thailand since 2004 to living Thai contemporary artists who have made notable contributions to Thai fine arts and culture.
The students did not only learn from her about tips and techniques on how to produce good documentary writing, but also gained valuable insight into her life experiences on the process of collecting information in depth by being at the real site before starting to write each book. Most of her literary works depict serious social problems which are looked at by readers from several perspectives; yet she includes solutions to the problems proposed by concerned people and specialists from different parts, which she describes lively and beautifully. She showed us a few examples of the opening and closing parts from some of her other books in which plenty of explanative and descriptive words were used in her writing, allowing us to vividly follow her stories.
Reflection from one of the students:
"The lecture by Orasom Suddhisakorn was truly beneficial. I learned about the work of documentary feature writers who have been to the real sites. I never knew that documentary feature writers could have such interesting lives. Khun Orasom also gave us advice on how to produce writing pieces with better quality, which will be very useful for me when I take the writing test for the Thai IGCSE exam next year. Overall, Orasom Suddhisakorn’s lecture was an experience that I will treasure and never forget." – Alisa, Year 11W
As part of the St Andrews Careers programme, Year 10 and Year 12 students had the valuable opportunity to hear from 20 industry professionals, including alumni, about various career pathways. The morning panel discussions provided insights into professional routes, required qualifications, and essential interpersonal skills for workplace success.
As Term 3 comes to an end, three senior students, Eleonore, Natalie, and Ananya, reflect on their experiences in the IB Diploma Programme at St Andrews International School Bangkok. Perhaps one of the most meaningful projects Ananya and Natalie took on during their senior studies was starting a foundation with a few other friends called Today4tomorrow – an initiative to provide opportunities to underprivileged girls in Thailand.
Congratulations to St Andrews senior student Natalie, who received an offer at the University of Bath to pursue a degree in Psychology. Have a read to learn more about Natalie’s perspective on the IB Diploma Programme and the endless possibilities that await her exploration.
Congratulations to senior student Ananya, who received an offer at University College London to pursue a degree in Politics and International Relations. We discussed her experience during the IB Diploma Programme at St Andrews and her ideas and aspirations for the future. Read on!
