GCSE Art, Craft and Design students received their grades demonstrating their innovation and personal approach.
With the arrival of the Edexcel grades for the Art, Craft and Design students came the acknowledgement of a high standard of creative work. The visiting moderator had commented in June on the diverse range of media and processes used, as well as the highly personal and imaginative approach of our young artists. With a new system of grades being used for the first time we all waited with bated breath for the results. GCSE Art students are now awarded numbered grades from 9 to 1, with 9 being described as being equivalent to an ‘A*’ with a bit extra. Our visiting moderator from Edexcel explained that this grade was expected to be reserved for students “who have showed an astronomical level of skill in their work”. So congratulations are in order for Yu-Jin Ahn, who becomes our first student to be awarded a grade 9. We would also like to give a special mention to Roni Tal, who despite completing the course one year early in Year 10, was able to achieve a grade 8. A remarkable achievement. We would like to congratulate all former Year 11 GCSE Art students, who all created wonderful portfolios of work, whatever their grade may have been. (Artwork by Yu-Jin and Roni)
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.
