Graduation Dinner was a lovely celebration of the end of the Class of 2022’s St Andrews’ journey.
It was great to be able to celebrate with the whole Year Group, and their parents, families, friends and teachers, after the more boutique celebrations of last week’s six Graduation Ceremonies.
It was also lovely to see so many Alumni, both at the Graduation Ceremonies and at last night’s Dinner. Any Alumni are very welcome to join us at Alumni Meet & Greet. See the details below:
As each student graduated in last week’s Ceremonies, Ms Alyssa and Mr Rob, our Careers and Higher Education Counsellors shared their current plans for next year. For most students, these plans are to attend universities around the world.
The graphic below shows the current list of 176 universities who have offered places to students in the Class of 2022. You can see a higher definition copy of this within the following link: Class of 2022 University Offers.
This week we would also like to congratulate Aisha for her Business related offers from a number of UK universities.
“I plan to study Business Management at university. As I learned through my academic experiences, scarcity of resources poses a grave threat to the planet's sustainability. We must replace the linear model with a circular economy, and I hope to contribute to this shared effort to achieve sustainable growth by studying Business.”
United Kingdom
University of Bath - Management
City, University of London - Business, Digital & Entrepreneurship
The University of Warwick - Global Sustainable Development and Business Studies
University of Westminster - Business Management (Digital Business)
Aisha plans to accept her offer from the University of Bath.
Congratulations to Emme (Year 12) on being selected to represent Thailand at this year’s Asian Science Camp, being held in Korea, where she will get to meet a number of Nobel laureates and other scientists from all over the world.
Selection was by a very rigorous process, with 40 students selected, via an essay competition, to attend a series of plenary sessions. At these sessions, students learnt about two topics - COVID and cosmic rays - before preparing a poster that they presented the following day, answering questions from an audience of other students and university professors. As you can see, Emme’s poster focused on what cosmic rays reveal about the chemistry of the universe.
Only 5 students, including Emme, were then selected to represent Thailand in Korea.
Please remember that all the school's live Google Calendars can be seen via Moodle.

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!
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.
