As our High School squads prepare for their first training, new competitions and challenges await. ECAs are just around the corner and the parents have some activities options as well.
We now have hundreds of STA students registered for Flames & Blaze training including 138 in Football, 152 in Basketball and 91 in Rugby, as well as many others in Volleyball, Track and Tennis.
We will be entering Blaze teams in some TISAC tournaments, starting with the Basketball this term.
In addition, we have now included late training sessions from 4.15-5.45pm 4 days per week and some additional ECA sessions and places for cater for the demand.
Our first BISAC games begin tomorrow (Tuesday) at home with the Varsity Girls Volleyball team. Please come and support if you have time. The game starts in our sports Hall at 3.30pm.
We pleased to announce a new event in our calendar, the Friday Night Game. This will start with our Varsity ballers taking on some local rivals in an evening tip-off game. There’ll be music, dance, popcorn, skills challenges, a half-court shot comp and plenty of loud support in the bleachers, we hope.
The event will be ticketed and is open to our community who fancy cheering on our oldest and best Flames ballers in the school! More details to follow.
Thank you for purchasing new kit for your Flames & Blaze children.
In addition to the regular squad kit, there are also STA hoodies available in the shop for any student to buy. We think it looks really cool and will help to keep our athletes warm at game time.
The hoodie is entirely optional however!
We actively encourage our amazing parent body to be involved with us and keep fit. This sends a wonderful message to our students about leading healthy, active lifestyles both as children and as adults.
We offer organised sessions covering a range of sports and activities at school, using our facilities. These include volleyball, yoga, fitness, swimming, running, zumba, tennis. Some of these are run by our own staff and others are run by external staff.
Details about these will be sent to you and sign-ups are on Moodle, just as for ECAs. Key personnel will be Ann, who has children at High School and will be the parent liaison for this; and Miss Aanchal, in the High School Office (Front Desk) aanchal.mi@standrews.ac.th
We love seeing parents work out during the day on campus - please come and join our active social circle.
(PS Volleyball is represented by our own Spicey Spikers, who even play against our girl’s team each term. Having lost some players last term, they’re now looking for new members. No need to be experienced - it’s all a bit of fun! Please contact Miss Jo (jo.fa@standrews.ac.th. First session is at HS tomorrow, 21 August at 2.45pm).
If you love the pool and exhilarating team sports, water polo might be the best sport you haven’t tried yet. And the timing could not be better, because the Marlins Water Polo training programme at St Andrews International School Bangkok is on the rise. Joining our dynamic team not only offers you a fun and challenging experience, it also provides a clear pathway for improving your skills and competing in local championship leagues.
Are you a new student at St Andrews International School Bangkok looking to dip your toes into the world of swimming? Or perhaps you are a current student who has always wanted to improve your skills in the pool? Then there is no better time than now to join the STA Marlins Swimming Squad. The Marlins Recreational Group is our latest swimming programme, welcoming all beginners on Tuesdays after school.
