A variety of House competitions have kept the St Andrews International School Bangkok Primary School busy in different ways.
A large number of students came to take part in Mr Nick’s coding competition last Friday. It was great to see them use their ICT skills in such a productive and successful way! Congratulations to Arm for being the first student to complete the coding challenge.
Ms Helen was quite overwhelmed by the fantastic response to her Eco-Beast competition, which was launched last week. The purpose of this competition is to design a beast logo for the new sustainability website.
This website has been designed with the intention of uniting the Bangkok international school community around issues of sustainability in an attempt to make our city cleaner, greener and more environmentally aware. The competition is running in 16 other Bangkok schools and the official date to announce the overall school winner will be after half term.
Here are some of Ms Helen’s favourite designs so far:
Ms Helen liked one student's design so much that she was given the chance to harvest and take home an enormous bok choy that had grown in the vegetable garden on the roof of the R building!
Finally, don’t forget to take part in our STARS House competition:
The PIO-neers Foundation is a fully student-led initiative that brings coding, robotics, science, and English to underprivileged children through fun, hands-on workshops. Over the past year, students partnered with the Foundation for a Better Life of Children to deliver five engaging sessions—entirely planned, taught, and funded by the team. Their mission: to make learning interactive, inspiring, and accessible to all.
What happens when a group of curious Year 1 students walk into a classroom in chaos? A thrilling investigation begins! From scattered books to half-eaten snacks, the young detectives quickly got to work, uncovering a shocking truth—their mischievous toys had thrown an all-night party! But the excitement didn’t stop there. This unexpected event sparked a rich learning journey, helping students develop their literacy, critical thinking, and social skills in a fun and engaging way.
The Glowing Muons from St Andrews Bangkok have won the 2024 Outreach Award from CERN’s Beamline for Schools competition. Their commitment to making physics accessible through local science outreach has earned them a special SSVI telescope, signed by Nobel Laureates. This award celebrates their passion for inclusive and engaging science education.
On 12 March 2025, 29 students from St Andrews Bangkok proudly took part in Thailand’s first-ever multi-school Languages Olympiad, joining peers from 11 international schools for a day of language immersion, cultural exchange, and friendly competition. Our students showed great enthusiasm and teamwork, with several earning medals in French and Spanish. The event highlighted the power of language to connect people and celebrated the importance of multilingualism in today’s world.
