This week in the world of CAS we have been jam packed with events as delegates attended the ServICE and MUN Conferences held at NIST and STA.
On Sunday 26 November, students from international schools across Bangkok made their way to our High School to participate in St Andrews’ annual Model United Nations (MUN) conference. With the guidance of advisor Ms Tamara, our MUN extracurricular members worked tirelessly to reach out to a total of 96 chairs and delegates from the American School Bangkok Sukhumvit, the American School Bangkok Green Valley, Regents Pattaya, Regents Bangkok, International Community School, St. Stephens and Bangkok Prep to come and take part in a day’s worth of fruitful debate regarding the world’s most pressing issues. This included gender inequality in the Syrian Arab Republic; the Crimean Annexation; implementing access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy; counter terrorism for dealing with ISIS and reaching consensus on nuclear disarmament. In their best formal wear, the world leaders of tomorrow showed us that no idea is impossible and that no voice should go unheard.
If you are interested in the Model United Nations ECA, please contact Ms Tamara McChristie in room 3eR. We hold meetings every Wednesday lunchtime and participate in weekend conferences in Bangkok and abroad. All High School students are welcome to join, especially CAS students.
Recently STA students had the opportunity to attend ServICE Conference.
Hear what our students had to say about the ServICE conference:
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!
Last Friday, the STA Primary campus was transformed into a celebration of all things maths! The day was packed with engaging, hands-on activities across all year groups, making maths truly come alive for our students.
Senior student at St Andrews Bangkok, Pun (Year 13), devises an innovative solution for effective waste management. Recently, he completed an ambitious project: an AI-powered waste sorting system. After much research and testing, he got the system to work and put the model to use in one of our rooms at school!
Physics students from St Andrews Bangkok made quite an impression at the Beamline for Schools (BL4S) competition and won the Best Outreach Award for their brilliant work. BL4S is a prestigious global physics contest organised by CERN (the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva, Switzerland) and DESY (the German Electron Synchrotron in Hamburg, Germany), inviting High School students worldwide to propose detailed experiments to be conducted at a particle accelerator beamline. While our students did not win the main prize of conducting their experiment in Geneva, they still stood out and were recognised from an entry of over 400 teams.
