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."
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.
