The Simon Lawrence Library hosted the annual “EE Day” where Y12 students started their IB Extended Essay journey.
The Simon Lawrence Library invited all our Y12 students to the annual “EE Day”, hosted by the IB Extended Essay coordinator, Ms Claire. The students spent the day learning about the many aspects of the extended essay, which is an independent, self-directed piece of research, culminating in a 4,000-word papers and is a vital component of the IB Diploma. At the end of the last school year, our current Y12 students gave the Library suggestions on popular topics for the Extended Essay and the Library has ordered many new books on these subjects which are now all available for students to borrow to aid in their research. The Library continues to supports students’ during their EE journey by making available as many books as possible on their chosen subjects. In addition, the Library system, Destiny, provides them with diverse features including citation and reviews in the new interface, Destiny Discover, so that, with their username and password, students can explore the numerous features at their disposal. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. DK at libraryhs@standrews.ac.th.
Educators from St Andrews International School Bangkok joined over 200 international teachers and leaders from Nord Anglia Education schools at the NAE South-East Asia, Middle East, and India Regional Conference 2025, held at the Nord Anglia International School Abu Dhabi. The event brought together outstanding minds in education to explore leadership, resilience, innovation, and inclusion—key elements shaping the future of teaching and learning.
The integration of Service-Learning into the Key Stage 3 Design and Technology curriculum aimed to deepen students' understanding of real-world challenges through project-based learning. By engaging with the needs of a Burmese migrant/refugee community in Thailand, students developed empathy, problem-solving skills, and a sense of social responsibility. Their term project focused on recognizing key challenges, proposing design solutions and fund raising, which was further expanded through an extracurricular activity where IB Diploma students refined these ideas for a migrant children's school. The initiative culminated in a trip to Mae Sot, where 17 students across different age groups collaborated with NGOs and architects on-site to engage in building parts of the school. This experience fostered peer mentorship, hands-on learning, and personal reflection on the impact of design and community engagement.
On Friday, 21 February 2025, St Andrews International School Bangkok marked the occasion with a special event organised by the Language Department. Language teachers, students from Years 9 to 11, and guests from cultural and language institutions across Thailand and Southeast Asia came together to celebrate the rich diversity within the school community. The event encouraged reflection on how language shapes identity and strengthens global understanding.
St Andrews Bangkok wrapped up its robotics season with the final VEX V5RC High Stakes Thailand Cup. The event featured 34 teams from across the Asia-Pacific region and showcased STA’s resourceful teams earning top placements and multiple awards.
