Well done to all the KS2 children from Years 3-6 for participating in the TTRS Rest of the World Rocks competition last week. The pupils thoroughly enjoyed competing against schools from around the globe. It was fantastic to see the children come together as a team to climb the leaderboard.
I am thrilled to announce that St Andrews International School finished 3rd overall in the Rest of the World Rocks competition based on total score. The challenge required children to answer as many multiplication and division questions correctly as possible, giving their class and school the best chance of winning. The competition was intense, with questions answered by 55,593 pupils from more than 435 schools and 4,667 classes across the world!
Our school statistics were equally impressive:
Highest Scoring school in the world: 3rd Place
Highest Scoring schools in Bangkok: 1st Place
Highest scoring class at STA and total class score:
Most Valuable Players (MVP) in St Andrews International School
A special congratulations to Maho Takeda from 6H, who finished 14th place out of the Bangkok Schools – Well done, Maho!

What happens when a group of curious Year 1 students walk into a classroom in chaos? A thrilling investigation begins!
