The Primary School and High School have announced a number of different competitions to help save the world. Plus … karaoke in the High School and Sustainability Week at Primary School.
There have been a few subject House competitions happening over the last few weeks from the Humanities and Maths departments.
In Humanities students created a display with two challenges. The first was a population game where students had to guess what country (in the pairs given) had the highest population. The second competition asked students to create critical thinking questions about population to post on the display for others to answer.
The winning House was Yao who won 10 points for their House with the top two students being Kaka (Karen) and Thun (Lahu) who received a perfect 8 out of 8. A special shout out goes to Imri for his excellent critical question.
In Maths, students participated in the Maths Art House Competition. Students were invited along to create interesting artwork using techniques such as Escher tessellations, origami, Koch Snowflakes and Sierpinski triangles with points going to everyone who participated.
This week saw the students sing for their House in student karaoke. The competition was fierce with some absolutely brilliant singing taking place. Students who participated were…
Group 1: Gordon, Vicky and Chene, Roar by Katy Perry
Group 2: Emma and Victoria, Tag, You're It
Group 3: Jeraldine and Oonita, I Want You Back
Solo 1: Kushal, Shape of You
Solo 2: Jojo,, Queen by Winters tale.
The overall winners were … Jeraldine and Oonita! Well done to everyone involved. You were all brilliant.

It is Sustainability Week! Remember the House Team have competitions starting this week and you and your children can do your bit to help the planet and earn some house points at the same time!
Competition 1 - We are asking students to make a video (with the family) to promote awareness of an endangered animal. Each entry will win 5 house points for their house. However the overall winner in each house will win a very special prize indeed. St Andrews will sponsor the 4 winning endangered animals and each one will become a house mascot. The winners will be the most effective video in each house …so be creative!!!! The child who makes the video will be invited on stage once a year whilst they are at St Andrews to keep us updated about the animals progress.
Competition 2 - Say NO to plastic bags!! Your child will earn 5 house points each if they can remember to take cloth reusable bags with them when they go shopping instead of accepting plastic ones. Please send a photo of this to their class teacher.
Competition 3 - Encourage your child to bring a reusable (not plastic) water-bottle to school every day (clearly labelled) and they can even bring it to the playground and refill it instead of using paper cups. Every child that does this will earn 2 house points.
If you have any questions, please email your House Leader.
Finally, well done to the amazing participants in the talent show on Fun Day! It was incredible to see the variety of talents our Primary School community has and we hope the children feel proud of themselves!
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.
