Following the success of the first Picnic in the Park,
which took place in September last year, the Regents School will be hosting
a second musical afternoon, taking place at the Father Ray Children’s
Village on Sunday May 13th from 3-7pm.
Music will be provided by the various musical groups from
the Regents School; Regents Soul Band, Primary Rock Band, Regents Girl’s
Band and there will also be performances of Irish and Korean dancing.
It is hoped that there will be performances from musical
students of Garden International and St. Andrews International School as
well.
There will be food stalls, an Australian BBQ, raffles, a
bouncy castle and lots of fun for the whole family. You can bring your own
food and drink if you wish, and you should also bring a blanket for the
ground, a parasol and your dancing shoes.
Admission for this event will be adults 100 baht and 50
baht for children, and all proceeds will be donated to the Regents School
Community Partners.
The Father Ray Children’s Village is located just off
Siam Country Road; go through the red arch near the 7-11 and then turn
right.
Lots of prizes to be won at
the Picnic in the Park.

won an award.
Teenage singing star Praw has won a top award for her
vocal skills.
Praw, who studies at Garden International School (GIS)
near Pattaya, came joint-first in exams run by the world-famous Trinity
College London.
Praw, 13, was given her honour at the Trinity Awards on 6
April at the AUA Auditorium, Bangkok. She is in Year 8 at GIS, which is
based in Ban Chang in Rayong.
Trinity devised the concept of Grade and Diploma
examinations in Music in the 1870s and was the first examination board in
the world to conduct examinations and awards qualifications internationally.
In 2012 they added a new syllabus, called Rock and Pop
syllabus. In the Pop Rock category the award winner for Vocals Grade 2 was
Tawanya Brander (Praw), who scored 85 points. Four students gained this
grade, so all were given first place.
Her teacher is Rapeeporn Pratumanon (Kru Pearl).
Congratulations to Praw for a fantastic achievement.
