St Andrews International School Bangkok Year 7 art students spent the day at the Erawan Museum, drawing and photographing the beautiful artefacts and scenery.
On Monday 5 February, the Art Department took the whole of Year 7 to the Erawan Museum in Samut Prakan, on the outskirts of Bangkok. The purpose of the trip was to gather visual resources to fund a new project on “Mythical Beasts”. The Erawan Museum was an ideal destination for this because of the fantastic selection of Thai statues and sculptures. The museum is renowned for its giant three-headed bronze elephant statue, which sits on top of the main museum building. The elephant originally derives from Hindu religion and contain a depiction of the cosmos inside the statue itself. Our students spent time drawing and photographing the artefacts and beautiful ‘Himmapan’ gardens, including the intricate Kinnaree statues. They will go on to use this visual research to develop ideas for their own mythical beast paintings.
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.
