Year 7 artists have made a great start in High School creating skilled drawings that investigate the formal elements.
Our young artists in Year 7 have been learning about the formal elements of Art and have been experimenting with drawing techniques that explore different types of line, tone and texture. Mastering these skills at an early age provides an excellent foundation for art students, giving them the confidence to try out a variety of art-making processes. One of our central philosophies in the art department is to promote the idea that there cannot be a wrong answer in art, only more or less effective ways of communicating an intention or idea. The teachers of the art department have been very impressed with the creative approach of the Year 7 students. Watching them investigate different ways of solving creative problems in their recent drawings we have truly felt that here is a group of students who embody the notion of being of a growth mindset. Here are a few examples of their work in progress. Artwork by Nana, Pin, Anakin, Si Woo, Amee, Ren, Ohm, Riya and Plaifah.
This week we celebrate the work of Harry in Year 7. Harry’s drawing of a bearded postman was inspired by a Van Gogh portrait. Harry drew this artwork using a variety of linear and mark-making techniques, creating a dynamic sense of character.
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.
