We are looking forward to welcoming you to High School and hope that the children are as excited as we are! To help you prepare for the start of school, please see the information below, which we hope you will find useful.
School Uniform
The High School Uniform Guide will give you all the information on school uniforms. Once school has started, new students will be assigned House colours, so you can purchase your House polo shirt during the first week of term (House shirts are worn every Friday).
High School uniforms can be purchased directly from the Uniform Shop, located on campus. The Uniform Shop is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. For more details or if you have any questions, please call +662 056-9554.
If you are new to St Andrews, our friendly staff will happily assist you with your child’s specific uniform requirements. This is an excellent opportunity to beat the rush and ensure your kids are smartly attired for the new school year. If you cannot visit us before school begins, uniforms can always be purchased at the start of the term.
Year 7 to Year 11 (Key Stage 3 & 4)
Year 12 and Year 13 (Senior Studies)
Your child will be assigned to a House at the start of the new term, so there is no need to purchase a House polo shirt. House shirts are worn every Friday and during special House events throughout the year.
Student ID card lanyards
All High School students are required to wear their student ID card lanyards at all times and use them to enter and exit the school premises, as well as buy lunch and access printing within the school. After purchasing school uniforms, please visit our School Office so that we can take your child’s photo for their student ID card, which will be provided on his/her first day at school. Parents will also be provided with ID cards to enter the school premises. These have a red lanyard, and we would kindly request that you wear these at all times when on the school campus.
Shuttle bus
For the convenience of our entire community and to ease car park congestion, we have free morning and afternoon shuttle buses that loop along 3 bus routes and serve both parents and students at the Primary School and the High School.
Please review our Shuttle Bus Information page for approximate departure times from each location.
Door to Door Transport
St Andrews also offers a paid door-to-door school bus service. Location zones determine pricing, pick-up times, and drop-off times. Additional information regarding this service is in the School Bus Fees section on the Tuition Fees page. Please get in touch with our Transport Team at transport@standrews.ac.th if you want to sign up for this service or have any questions. Both of these services will begin at the start of the Term.
Canteen service
Our High School canteen is run by getfresh, which provides catering services to many international schools in Bangkok. Students can purchase lunch with their school ID card, which acts as a stored-value card. Their cards can be topped up either online via Moodle or in person in the School Office.
Menus are made available each week via Moodle so that you can discuss food choices with your children beforehand. Food choices take into account our students' many different dietary requirements, and there is usually something available for even the most difficult of eaters.
For the health and safety of all students, please be reminded that St Andrews is a Nut-Free school.
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Policy
For four years, we have operated a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Policy for High School students. All High School students are required to bring their own computing devices to lessons each day.
In response to concerns about bag weight and battery life, we extended the range of devices that students could bring to school. This now includes hybrid tablet-style devices (e.g., Microsoft Surface, iPad Pro) as long as they have a physical keyboard that can be attached.
We have purposefully kept the device specifications as broad as possible in recognition that different students prefer different devices. Students can likely simply use the devices that they already have, so parents won’t have to purchase a new device under the BYOD Policy. To read more about the BYOD Policy or more details about specifications, please click here.
Communication
Every week, we send out our School Newsletter, which includes links to important information about future events and a look back at other school activities. We have imported all of the email addresses you provided into our database.
The first day of school
Our school day begins at 7:45 am. On your child’s first day, they enter through the flap gates wearing their school uniform. Staff members will be on hand to help direct students to the appropriate meeting point for their Year Group. When in class, your child will be assigned buddies by their Tutor to help them settle in and find their way around their new school.
We encourage you to follow us on our other channels to stay updated on everything happening at St Andrews.
