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.

She expresses her deep gratitude for honouring the sacrifices of fallen soldiers and the pride she feels in continuing a family tradition while representing her school and community. Eloise emphasises the importance of this meaningful event in fostering remembrance and appreciation.
Students at St Andrews International School Bangkok have begun an exciting artificial intelligence project: integrating Nord Anglia’s “Misty the Robot” with conversational AI model, ChatGPT. Under the guidance of our Head of Robotics, Mr Rob Parker, they recently presented their results to Regional Managing Director, Mr Shaun Williams, as well as the Board of Directors at St Andrews, with the proposition of growing this project as a collaborative research venture across Nord Anglia schools.
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!
