Gymnasts, musicians and singers kicked off this year’s Busking Week at Primary School. Catch a morning concert and visit with our performers at break time all week.
The week got off to a banging start with a mini concert in the Year 6 quad from STA Bang! Our trusty Year 6 House Captains collected some donations from the audience, so thank you to all those who donated to our House Charity, The Central Thailand Mission.
Come and catch the morning concerts each day this week at 7:25 a.m. in the Y6 Quad:
The performers were out in force at break time today as well. We had some gymnasts, musicians and singers. We are looking forward to a lot more talent emerging throughout the week!
Please remember so send your child in with some small change so they can donate to the buskers throughout the week.
Ben Moermond will be spending Wednesday 7 March at our Primary School and Thursday 8 March at High School.

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!
