A group of Year 9 St Andrews International School Bangkok students had an action-packed long week-end at the 2018 FOBISIA Drama Festival in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The students had a fantastic experience working with like-minded drama enthusiasts from international schools across Asia. It was an excellent opportunity to develop their drama expertise and make new friends. In addition to devising and performing pieces based on characters from famous plays, the students also attended a range of workshops. We were extremely lucky to watch a very comical and dynamic version of As You Like It by the British-based theatre company The Handlebards. Amidst all the creativity we also squeezed in an evening trip to the cinema to see The Greatest Showman as well as a disco where the photo booth proved to be very popular. It was a fantastic week-end and the students really developed both their drama knowledge and self- confidence.
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.
