On Sunday, a group of Year 12 students went to the Camillian Home for Children Living with Disabilities to take part in their Fun Day by running games stalls and other activities.
Rei's reflection of the event:
"I chose this activity because it would be an enjoyable opportunity to provide fun games for the children, and because there's not much opportunity for them to experience playing many games and fairs due to medical reasons.
I wanted achieve a sense of awareness that there are people who are less fortunate and yet they are just as important, and they deserve to have the same benefit of going to a fair as others. The big challenge was choosing the right games for the children as their disabilities within the home varied and so it was difficult to find a game that allowed every single child to play. But those who couldn't participate were offered rewards anyways, such as sweets.
In terms of what I gained from this experience, I realised that society needs to be more accepting and considerate of people with disabilities. And when it is not taken seriously it can be a serious issue e.g. luxury cars with no permit in parking spots reserved for people with disabilties, playgrounds that lack proper safety measures for disabled children etc. I feel the community needs to be more understanding and cooperative towards disabled children and adults as well so it is easier for them to go about their day."
Eloise reflects on her experiences representing St Andrews International School at the annual Remembrance Day service hosted by the British Club in Bangkok. She expresses her deep gratitude for honouring the sacrifices of fallen soldiers and the pride she feels in continuing a family tradition while representing her school and community. Eloise emphasises the importance of this meaningful event in fostering remembrance and appreciation.
Students at St Andrews International School Bangkok have begun an exciting artificial intelligence project: integrating Nord Anglia’s “Misty the Robot” with conversational AI model, ChatGPT. Under the guidance of our Head of Robotics, Mr Rob Parker, they recently presented their results to Regional Managing Director, Mr Shaun Williams, as well as the Board of Directors at St Andrews, with the proposition of growing this project as a collaborative research venture across Nord Anglia schools.
With the goal of providing meaningful help to the flood victims in the northern regions of Thailand, our entire community at St Andrews Bangkok came together to raise funds and donations for the affected families. In the span of a few short weeks, added to donations of food and clothing, we managed to raise an astounding total of 386,676.50 THB in donation funds. To all students, teachers, parents, and staff who participated in our efforts and contributed to this cause—thank you!
