To empower children and their families to make a positive change, we have partnered with Trashlucky, launching our first-ever community recycling initiative.
Trashlucky is a startup recycling programme that turns 'trash into gold'. Trashlucky believes that education, and motivating children to be responsible for their waste is an important way to enable change here in Thailand. They know that ease of recycling is an obstacle to changing our daily habits, which is another reason why they are connecting with schools to set up drop off points. To motivate people to recycle they have a monthly prize draw, and at the end of this month, it could see one lucky family win a car, Iphones and other wonderful prizes.
Trashlucky have zoomed into our Year Group assemblies virtually to teach each student in our school why it is important to recycle, not only here at school, but also at our homes.
This will lead to how to use our newly installed recycling station in our carpark. To ensure parents understand how to recycle with Trashlucky. St Andrews families will be sent more details of how parents can access the Trashlucky recycling programme, and how to register as a St Andrew’s family.
As a community, we will also be able to see how many children at school are recycling using our recycling centre, and children can earn certificates and house points for their recycling efforts.
Join the STA Ecobeasts on their mission to make St Andrews a greener community.
The Ecobeasts are a Primary School club where students are empowered to address numerous environmental challenges directly with the support of Environmentally Sustainability Coordinators.
The Ecobeasts was founded by teachers at St Andrews and has been recognised globally for its impact on the international school community. The St Andrews creation was awarded the ‘2020 Best Environmental Initiative’ for its role in collective and sustainable change in the community.
‘We hope to empower club members to educate themselves and others about environmental problems and solutions, make real-life changes in their community and inspire us all by sharing their achievements.’
If you would like to find out more about opportunities with the Ecobeasts, please reach out to Mr Ewen and Ms Susan.
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.
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!
