Last week the upper primary students took a break from their regular VSE activities for a day to take part in the Big Shakespeare Festival hosted by the NAE Global Campus. After studying the story of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream,’ the students embarked upon different challenges to bring this magical play to life. There were costume designs, musical compilations and performance, dance choreography and drama performances.

Saturday May 15th saw STA host a FOBISIA virtual Sustainability conference for teachers in International Schools around Thailand. This event was an opportunity to share what different schools are doing to embed the vital education of living in a sustainable way, into their curriculums and school outlooks. There were some very interesting presentations from different schools sharing how they educate their students in this vital area. There were also presentations from companies like ‘Less Plastic Thailand’ and the wonderful ‘Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation’ that showed ways to involve students in an engaging way to support the environment and local wildlife. A big thank you to Mr Ewen and Mrs Susan who ran such a successful event.
As Mr Paul mentioned in the Head’s Lines this week, the appeal to help the people of India has been very successful thanks to your generosity. Look out this week for another chance to get involved with an event to help! Will you be a STAr?
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!
Last Friday, the STA Primary campus was transformed into a celebration of all things maths! The day was packed with engaging, hands-on activities across all year groups, making maths truly come alive for our students.
