We need teachers!

The Regent’s School Summer Concert

Recently students from the Regent’s School presented their annual Summer Music Concert at the Cholchan Hotel. The special guest of honour for the evening was Patricia Metham, principal elect.

A wide variety of music was performed, reflecting the diverse areas of musical activity covered by the Regent’s Music Department. Items ranged from wonderful toe-tapping melodies presented by the vocal groups and choirs, to more formal individual pieces and compositions prepared by senior students as part of their ongoing course work. Primary students in the Blues Brothers Vocal Group even had the audience singing along!

The evening’s program finished with the 40-piece orchestra and combined choir presenting “My Heart Will Go On”, a brilliant finale to a wonderful concert. Special thanks go to Mark Bradshaw, director of music, and his team, Helen Eddis and Brendan Magee for their commitment to the continuing development of the Regent’s music program.

MCCI helps preserve local environment on World Earth Day

As part of the World Earth Day celebrations, Montessori Children’s Center International did their bit to preserve the local environment.

Performing skits is a good way to spread the message that it is up to us to preserve our environment.

World Earth Day is held annually and is aimed at promoting awareness about preserving the environment. MCCI took World Earth Day one-step further by promoting environmental awareness among its students in a weeklong program.

Cleaning up our environment can be fun!

MCCI’s Earth Week came to end with students, teachers and parents participating in a multitude of activities in and around the school and along the adjacent beachfront. The activities were held with a fun aspect and the students enjoyed ‘doing their bit’ for the local environment by cleaning up the school grounds, recycling various items, and watching skits and plays performed by student and teachers.

The world’s future belongs in the hands of today’s children and promoting awareness at a young age about the importance of environmental issues is the best way to protect the future. Think globally - act locally.

We need teachers!

If you are either an English native speaker or a speaker of English as a second language, who wants to volunteer to teach English to underprivileged and disabled youths in Thailand, we, at the Redemptorist Vocational School for the Disabled’s English Department would like to invite you to join in our teaching faculty.

The English Department mainly offers basic English courses to disabled youths, aged 17-35, in three study programs, namely: Electronics, Computer Science, and Computer Business Management (in English). It aims to prepare these disadvantaged youths for their prospective careers. We understand employers highly value the ability to communicate in English and believe these youths can accomplish this challenging because they are all young, lively, and eager to learn.

We are running two terms in a year, each of which starts at the beginning of May and November. There are two one-month vacations in April and October in an academic year. Unfortunately, many of our volunteers have a temporary stay in Thailand, so this affects our curriculum because we run out of teachers in the middle of the term. A single class sometimes has two or more teachers in the same term. Therefore we need your help to teach English to all these young adults. The volunteer teachers will receive free boarding and food, their dedication and efforts will make the life of the disabled very much worthwhile and we highly appreciate it on behalf of the students.

If you are interested, please contact Chanasta Ruenyen at the English Department at tel. (038) 716 247-248 or [email protected]

We are looking forward to hearing your reply, or you can drop by our school and have a chat any time.
