IB makes special visit
One of the IB students helps
at the special school.

IB students from Garden International School (GIS) have been helping out
at a special school. They managed to raise enough money through various
activities to buy a trampoline for the children.
Every week the International Baccalaureate (IB) students visit the school to
interact with the youngsters there. GIS is based in Ban Chang near Pattaya.

Local schools join Regent’s School Pattaya for sports and fun
The Regent’s School Pattaya students really
warmed to their guests.

Three of our community partners joined the Regents students over Round
Square Week to take part in a number of sports and games. On Wednesday Hand to
Hand brought 12 primary children, on Thursday Wat Pong School brought over 70
secondary students and on Friday 25 primary students from the Deaf School took
part.
Over the three days, students participated in a wide range of sporting
activities - from rounders and football to dodgeball and catch the flag. To cool
down in the afternoon students had some time in the pool to relax. It was great
to see some of our community partners enjoying the use of our facilities - and
making new friends through sport. Some of our girls volunteered to spend extra
time with some of the younger community partners - who were a little young to
join in with the main events. They played a number of games with them - such as
duck, duck, goose and also helped them with painting activities.

local community.
With one of our community partners coming from the deaf
school, our students had the challenge of how to communicate their ideas with
the children - and more than a few now are keen to learn some sign-language! We
look forward to more community links with Thai schools in the future.

A piece of pizza helps others

Students from Garden International School (GIS) were able to have some
pieces of pizza - and help raise money for a good cause.
International Baccalaureate (IB) students and The Camel Pub and Restaurant in
Ban Chang helped provide a pizza day on January 31. The response was excellent
and as a result of sales 3,634 baht was raised, which will help provide
trampoline equipment for a special school near GIS.
If you’d like to find out more about the IB course on offer at Garden, come
along to an IB Information Evening on Wednesday March 6. It will be held in the
Secondary Hall from 7pm-8.30pm. Refreshments will be provided.

Another zoo-per school trip by GIS
Feeding the elephants at Khao
Kheow.
Mark Beales
Nursery students from Garden International School (GIS) recently enjoyed a
trip to Khao Kheow Zoo.
They began by feeding the Elk Deer and soon discovered they needed to be extra
quiet in order to befriend them. After a while everyone was offering the deer
Chinese snake beans. After this they stopped to look at the zebras and the
giraffes and then they visited the hippos and offered them plenty of food.
After this, it was time to see the elephants, including a cute baby one, which
students were able to gently stroke. On the way to lunch, the students had a
chance to say hello to the white lions. This was a great day out for all the
students and allowed them to continue their learning in a practical, enjoyable
manner.
The Elk Deer were full of beans -
literally.

An exciting start to the year at Regent’s School Pattaya
Students at the Regent’s School Pattaya re already
excelling with Nord Anglia Education.
Paddy McKenna
With the Regent’s School Pattaya embarking on new and exciting ventures
after joining Nord Anglia Education, 2013 starts off in flying form with a
number of new and interesting opportunities to take part in the Nord Anglia
Educations Global Classroom. With over 10,000 participants, this is an amazing
chance for students to reach beyond Thailand and connect with their peers across
the World.
In Hitting the Headlines students are looking into the controversial subject of
immigration. Should countries have open or closed borders? Have you ever
experienced a sense of being an ‘outsider’ when living in a new country?
A new area of the SGC has opened called The Nexus where students will be able to
focus on specific subjects. It’s kicking-off the year turning its attention to
sport and, in particular, to considering what it takes to become an elite
athlete. Rave Reviews is a new space where students can share their insights on
books, films, music, websites, technology and much more.
Also this term, students have the opportunity to take part in a Short Story
Writing Competition and be inspired by the idea of a ‘journey of discovery’ and
could find their work published in an e-book.
