Today saw the FS1 students start to arrive and join the school. They were greeted by Ms Isla and her team and taken with their parents to the wonderful FS1 area where they played and got familiar with the surroundings. It is important that the students feel welcome, happy and safe in their first experience at the school so they can start to learn through play. The process also includes a home visit where the teachers and Teaching assistants will go to the homes of the new students so their first meeting with new people is in a familiar setting making it easier to settle when they come to school for the first time.
I hope this message finds you well and full of excitement about the start of a brand new academic year. It was great to see our school buzzing with life once again as students, with faces both familiar and new, filling the hallways, classrooms, playgrounds, and learning spaces.
As part of the St Andrews Careers programme, Year 10 and Year 12 students had the valuable opportunity to hear from 20 industry professionals, including alumni, about various career pathways. The morning panel discussions provided insights into professional routes, required qualifications, and essential interpersonal skills for workplace success.
As Term 3 comes to an end, three senior students, Eleonore, Natalie, and Ananya, reflect on their experiences in the IB Diploma Programme at St Andrews International School Bangkok. Perhaps one of the most meaningful projects Ananya and Natalie took on during their senior studies was starting a foundation with a few other friends called Today4tomorrow – an initiative to provide opportunities to underprivileged girls in Thailand.
Congratulations to St Andrews senior student Natalie, who received an offer at the University of Bath to pursue a degree in Psychology. Have a read to learn more about Natalie’s perspective on the IB Diploma Programme and the endless possibilities that await her exploration.
