Good news. The Simon Lawrence Library is pleased to announce that we have subscribed to BOOOKFLIX which offers an online streaming service. BOOKFLIX now provides more than 10,000 books for our school, and technically speaking, it is free because all the books are housed in our Library. In addition, it is such a dynamic, bidirectional platform that new books can be added and displayed depending on your demand. Please visit the Library and take a look at our BOOKFLIX Library displays next to the entrance doors every week. At the moment, we can offer various “offline” books including some popular books in Bookflix, a couple of trendy and award-winning books, a variety of books added recently to the Library and some recommended books for you. Should you have any recommended/suggested books, please do not hesitate to ask the Library or email us at libraryhs@standrews.ac.th so that we can obtain them as soon as possible.
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.
