Year 13 students at St Andrews International School Bangkok are hard at work preparing for their final exhibition on 21 March.
As the final exhibition approaches, Visual Arts students in Year 13 are working hard to refine and complete their artworks. They are required at higher level to produce 8 to 11 resolved artworks, which is no small task. The price of excellence at IB level is time consuming work, paying close attention to detail and intense refinement and review of each work. On Thursday 21 March 2019 from 3.00 p.m. to 7.00 p.m. on the 7th floor of the Blue Building we will be treated to an excellent exhibition of art from our young artists. What we won’t see is the hours of work, sweat and tears that has gone into this exhibition. Here are some shots of our students deep in concentration as they refine their work, with a taster of some of the studio pieces.
Our artist of the week is Year 13 student Arnav Narula. His graphic drawing combines a number of elements of religious symbolism, playing with the concept of a world of synthesized spiritual practices. This is one of the artworks that will be featured in Arnav’s IB exhibition
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.
