We recently held a Life Skills Summer Camp, focused on developing essential skills for our Embracing Differences students. Each day was filled with different activities aimed at teaching practical and personal skills.
Day 1: Personal Hygiene
Students learned about proper hand washing, brushing teeth, showering, and exercising. The day ended with a fun water play session, followed by practicing their hygiene routines.
Day 2: Household Chores
Students experienced hand washing clothes, cooking food, setting and clearing the table, and washing dishes. These activities taught them the importance of maintaining a clean and organized home.
Day 3: Personality Development
The students practiced styling their hair, applying makeup, dressing up, and walking confidently. The day culminated in a Fashion Show where they showcased their new skills.
Day 4: Team Building
Students planned and prepared performances for a Talent Show, choosing from dance, singing, or magic acts. Their confidence shone through as they performed in the afternoon Talent Show.
Day 5: Trip to Pororo Aqua Park
The final day was a trip to Pororo Aqua Park in Bangna, where students applied the skills they learned throughout the camp in a real-world setting.
The Life Skills Summer Camp was a success, helping our students build confidence and independence.
Educators from St Andrews International School Bangkok joined over 200 international teachers and leaders from Nord Anglia Education schools at the NAE South-East Asia, Middle East, and India Regional Conference 2025, held at the Nord Anglia International School Abu Dhabi. The event brought together outstanding minds in education to explore leadership, resilience, innovation, and inclusion—key elements shaping the future of teaching and learning.
The integration of Service-Learning into the Key Stage 3 Design and Technology curriculum aimed to deepen students' understanding of real-world challenges through project-based learning. By engaging with the needs of a Burmese migrant/refugee community in Thailand, students developed empathy, problem-solving skills, and a sense of social responsibility. Their term project focused on recognizing key challenges, proposing design solutions and fund raising, which was further expanded through an extracurricular activity where IB Diploma students refined these ideas for a migrant children's school. The initiative culminated in a trip to Mae Sot, where 17 students across different age groups collaborated with NGOs and architects on-site to engage in building parts of the school. This experience fostered peer mentorship, hands-on learning, and personal reflection on the impact of design and community engagement.
On Friday, 21 February 2025, St Andrews International School Bangkok marked the occasion with a special event organised by the Language Department. Language teachers, students from Years 9 to 11, and guests from cultural and language institutions across Thailand and Southeast Asia came together to celebrate the rich diversity within the school community. The event encouraged reflection on how language shapes identity and strengthens global understanding.
