I have always had a passion and talent for sports, specifically football and throughout my sports career, I always had the drive to help my teammates recover from injuries to reach an optimal performance as a team. With this determination, I knew I wanted to pursue a course at university that combined sports and health. Physiotherapy seemed to be the perfect choice for me. I also like that there are numerous opportunities in physiotherapy as it is a growing industry and physiotherapists are able to work in sports clubs, hospitals, and clinics.
I am currently waiting for offers from two universities. However, at the moment I plan to attend CEU Universidad San Pablo because CEU has one of the best physiotherapy programmes in Spain. I would like to study in Spain as I have a strong connection with the country. There is also a great education system and it was rated top in the world for student satisfaction in 2021.
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.
