🚤🌿 Exploring Thai Culture at Baan Glang Suan! 🌿🚤

Our Year 3 and Year 4 students enjoyed a wonderful learning experience at Baan Glang Suan, Bangkobua, discovering Thai rural life along the river and learning about local wisdom.

From boat rides through the canals and creating beautiful tie-dye artwork to enjoying delicious traditional Thai food, students immersed themselves in authentic cultural experiences while having lots of fun.

A fantastic day of learning, creativity, and cultural discovery! ✨🇹🇭

Year 5 Visit Lung Uan Farm! 🚜🌾

As part of our Thai Language and Cultural Programme, Year 5 students enjoyed an exciting day at Lung Uan Farm, exploring Thai rural life and agricultural traditions through hands-on learning.

From rice planting and exploring canal orchards to catching fish, learning survival skills, climbing, ziplining, and even making popcorn over a fire, students experienced a fun-filled day of adventure and discovery.

A wonderful opportunity to connect with nature, develop new skills, and deepen their understanding of Thai culture and the environment. 🌱✨

🌟🎭 What an incredible Talent Show! 🎭🌟

On Friday, we were treated to a spectacular Talent Show, brilliantly organised by Shakespeare House. Our students took to the stage with confidence, creativity, and courage, showcasing an amazing range of talents.

We are so proud of every performer for sharing their skills and shining in front of the school community. Well done to all involved! 👏✨

Artist of the Week goes to a Year 6 student whose unwavering dedication and focus shine through in every art class. Her exceptional skills consistently lead to superb outcomes across all projects.

🏊‍♂️🏆 Congratulations to all our swimmers who took part in this year's Swim Gala!

The event was filled with energy and house spirit, with students and parents creating a fantastic atmosphere throughout the day.

🎒✨ A Great Start to What’s Next! ✨🎒

This past Tuesday, June 2nd, our campus was buzzing with excitement for our Move-On Morning!

It was a wonderful opportunity for all of our students to take a sneak peek into their future. They officially transitioned into the classrooms they’ll be joining this coming August, met their fantastic new teachers, and started building those all-important peer connections.
