Recently, 3 of our students submitted articles to compete in a Japanese language composition competition. If chosen, the students' pieces of work would be published in an education book. Keep reading to see how they got on...
The Japanese book title is ‘Chugakusei no Atama no Naka wo Nozoitara, Mirai ga Akaruku Narimashita; this translates to ‘Looking Inside of Junior High School Students’ Heads, the Future became Brighter’.
Over 17,000 Japanese students submitted a composition to the competition, and only 105 articles were selected for publishing. That’s 0.6% of those that submitted an article were selected!
Incredibly, 3 of our students were nominated for the final selection! To put this outstanding achievement into perspective; over 17,000 Japanese students submitted a composition to the competition, and only 105 articles were selected for publishing. That’s 0.6% of those that submitted an article!
We would like to congratulate Ran, Mako and Noko in Year 10 for their fantastic work and success!
Here's a great photo of Ran and the published book!

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.

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.
