Year 9 Artists took advantage of the landscape on their residential trip to create beautiful drawings.
Year 9 students from St Andrews International School Bangkok have been on their residential trip in Kanchanaburi province this week. For all this has meant a range of adventurous activities, whilst some have also taken advantage of the presence of two of their art teachers. One of the optional activities on offer was to draw the beautiful surrounding landscape, from the banks of the River Kwai. In true ‘Impressionist’ style, students donned their hats and picked up their drawing boards to work in the open air, capturing the natural environment around them. Here are a few of the highly creative outcomes from the trip:
This week the artist of the week award goes to Anush Tamang, in Year 9d, for her wonderful pastel landscape “View across Pung Waan”.
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!
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.
