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.

Alicia Warner
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.

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

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.
