A word from the Head of Secondary

Dear parents and students,

November has been another exciting month with lots of activities. Among many other events, we celebrated the Thai festival of lights, Loy Krathong, the life of William Shakespeare through a performance and workshops, and remembered fallen soldiers on Poppy Day.

We have also had lots of trips this month which reinforced what the children learned in lessons.  The classroom is an effective simulation of the real world however experiential learning argues that when learning is shifted into to a real-life situation it becomes more powerful in individuals. This month all our year groups experienced at least 1 or 2 trips for subjects like science, art and drama.

Many of our students are getting ready for the RBIS Performing Arts Evening on the 8th December which promises to be an amazing event for young and old. The evening will include a visual arts exhibition, music performances, the finals of the interhouse public speaking competition and the ONE NIGHT ONLY performance of the school play - Humbug High! If you haven't booked a seat yet, you can still do so by clicking this link.

We have also concluded the first step of our charity drive in term 1, in which parents, teachers and students donated food, clothing and toys. The result of everyone's generosity will go a long way to helping children in need here in Bangkok. The students at school also donated 100 baht each to help feed one hundred children, and have made Christmas cards to give to their peers at the foundation. Our collection for the Christmas Charity managed to raise a staggering 8400 baht , and combined with our other charity events and donations, brings the total for the community service fund up to an astonishing 27040 baht! This has enabled us to buy cat food and other items for our visit to PAWS - a shelter for street cats which our 6th Form will visit on 6th December as well as buying food and other items for the Christmas Charity.  I would like to sincerely thank all the students, staff and families that gave up their time and donated food, snacks, clothes, toys and money. Your generosity is truly appreciated, and we hope to make a real difference to the impoverished communities in the capital. It is after all, the time of year for giving and good will; the RBIS community has proven this, and this is one of the reasons that our school is such a wonderful place to work and learn.

RBIS Loy Krathong Celebrations

The RBIS community very much enjoyed the Loy Krathong celebrations at our school. The activities included a Thai Dance Performance and many game booths such as playing a balloon darts game and knocking down cans. There were many prizes to be given away such as school supplies, toys as well as dolls for game players. We also were selling Thai food,  Thai desserts, Thai herbal drinks, toys and Krathongs. Parents and pupils floated Krathongs in our school’s swimming pool and all profits were donated to schools recently affected by flooding in Ayutthaya province.

We are proud to promote and preserve Thai culture and traditions for the International society in a peaceful and harmonious way.

The Thai language and studies department 

UK Theatre company visit:
The performance of Shakespeare's Kings and Clowns & acting workshops

'Oh Romeo, Romeo, where for art thou Romeo?'

On the 8th of November the RBIS Secondary students were lucky to have actors visiting, from England, for the 'Shakespeare's Kings and Clowns' performance and acting/confidence workshops. They were entertained through a comedic performance that include student participation, where we had some very brave students volunteer to take on mystery parts.

We'd like to give a particular 'well done' to our volunteers:Korn (Y.13), Jericho (Y.12), Lolo (Y.10), Poom (Y.12) and the boys from Y.6. They all took on varying roles from Romeo and Juliet, to soldiers in the English army, with great enthusiasm and focus.  

It was a thoroughly enjoyable morning and very beneficial for our students, as they study Shakespeare and aspects of drama throughout the curriculum. With the extra benefits of it being fun and exciting.

During the workshops, students worked on rhythm on the stage and in the script, body movement and voice projection, which are all transferable skills into everyday life. It was very pleasing to see so many students actively involved in all of the activities and pushing beyond their comfort zones.

Armistice Day assembly

On the 11th of November the students and staff at the RBIS Secondary school held a solemn ceremony for Remembrance Day.

Bianca (Y.10) started the ceremony by reading John McCrae's poem 'In Flanders Fields', while Tobias (Y.10) explained the meaning of Remembrance Day and the 'red Poppy'.

Mr. De Smet read aloud a secular prayer, which was followed by the exhortation. The ceremony concluded with the playing of the Last Post and 2 minutes of silence to remember those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. 

During the two minutes silence, red poppies floated down from the first floor providing a very solemn conclusion to the ceremony.

Trips

Y.6 &7 science - Trip to Lumphini park

On the 10th of November, our Year 6 and 7 students went on their first field trip to Lumpini Park, Bangkok!

They had the opportunity to identify and describe different animals and plants. They observed the Rain Trees, the Little Egret, and the famous Monitor Lizard!

They also learned about the history of this urban green space.

The students were accompanied by Mr. Le Serre (Biology), Ms. Jumanan, and Ms. Putsathitp.

Y.10 to 13 art - Visit to the Museum Of Contemporary Art (MOCA)

On Tuesday 22nd of November the year 10, 11, 12 and 13 art students went to MOCA to visit an exhibition with works by the famous satirical street artist Banksy which dealt with political and social views on current events. The exhibition showed a diverse graphic and spray painted body of work from the anonymous English artist that gave “food for thought” to every spectator of the show. Students studied the work, meaning and visual importance and made references by notes and photographs to be used in class (for Christmas cards).

 

In the museum the students also enjoyed the permanent and often spectacular exhibition based on Thai art history and traditional artifacts containing and marking special historic moments in time.

There was something to enjoy for everyone and souvenirs to be bought as well as a lovely little lunch at the University campus close to the museum.

 

Thanks to the wonderful and mature behavior of our senior students, the event was a happy one.

Cast and Performers trip to BACC

On Friday 11th November, the musical performers, the art and production team and the cast of RBIS PRESENTS: An Evening of The Arts went to visit the venue in order to be able to visualise where they will perform on Thursday 8th December. Students were able to explore the backstage area, the auditorium and were even able to make the most of having the opportunity to stand on the stage. Students each had a quick practise of speaking from stage so that they could understand how much they will need to be able to project and staff were able to have a play around in the lighting box!

If you haven't already booked your tickets, please click this link... they are being booked up fast!  

"It was very fun to see the theatre where we're going to perform. It made me feel excited." Tapiwa, Year 6

"It was an enjoyable experience and I'm really looking forward to performing. I am so glad that I made the most of the opportunity." Tobias, Year 10

"The theatre at school is tiny compared to the colossal theatre at the BACC which has very remarkable effects." Sean, Year 6

"The trip to the theatre was fun and interesting." Korn, Year 13

Y.8 to 13 science - Trip to Sea Life Bangkok

On Monday 14th November, our students from Year 8 to Year 13 went to SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World!

They observed over 400 aquatic species, from the tiny Coral polyp to the huge Sand tiger Shark and even hopped on Glass Bottom Boats to get closer to the sharks and stingrays!


This school trip was the perfect opportunity for the students to learn about how marine organisms use physical and behavioral adaptations to survive. It also contributed to raising their awareness of environmental issues.

Y.6 - 9 

What's Going On?

Year 6 

The Year 10s and the Year 6s are collaborating positively and productively on delivering an assembly about Spelling Bees.

Sooro is fully immersed in his artwork, looking ahead to exhibiting his impressive work at the December RBIS Arts Evening.

The Year 6s had a wonderful time at Loy Krathong, crafting beautiful fish from plant leaves and reeds in order to raise money for charity. They also looked amazing in their traditional Thai garb.

Year 7 Geography

In geography our Year 7's explored how we are connected to people and places all over Earth and how this can be shown on maps. For example, through relatives and friends, the things we buy in shops, and where we go on holiday.
They also learned about the concepts of aerial view, and scale, which are essential for developing mapwork skills. One of the new geographical skills they learned was how to use scales to convert scaled lengths to actual lengths.

Year 8 PSHE


In PSHE the year 8 students have been looking at careers. They discussed which careers they thought were successful and why. Some interesting ideas were raised – not many thought the plumber was successful and most thought a lawyer was highly successful.    

Next we looked at personal qualities such as thoughtful, good sense of humour, responsible and others. A discussion followed between the year 8s as they shared their personal qualities.

 The students had an opportunity to name skills they felt they had already developed and discuss with their peers how they knew they had these skills.  Skills included:

   caring for people    working in a team     working with money       drawing and painting      playing a musical instrument          working on your own      using your imagination       good at practical tasks     being creative      using maths     learning from mistakes    using a computer       speaking another language

The follow up to this will be to imagine they are being interviewed for a Saturday job - they need to complete a form about themselves and why they would be the right person for the job.                      

  Year 9 PE

Our year 9 students have been learning football and badminton during PE this semester. We have practiced basic skills in football from dribbling, passing balls, shooting,and various other movements to playing in teams. The children had a lot of fun and further developed their sports abilities. In badminton lessons, they practiced single and double play, demonstrating their skills and understanding of the game. Last but not least, in swimming classes,  they learned how to play water polo, allowing everyone to exercise and have fun in the water at the same time. 


Y.10 - 13 

What's Going On?

Year 10 IGCSE Business


Autocracy for rapid decision making? Democratic leadership for good communication? or Laissez faire for creativity?

These are the three different types of business leadership styles we have been exploring in business studies.

These leadership methods can shape each business in a different way either motivating or demotivating people within business.  Motivation is key in making sure the productivity of a business is at its maximum output.

Strong communication, both internal and external, between businesses, employees and customers are also very important. 

The year 10 group have covered Unit 1 and 2 of the Business syllabus and will be moving onto Unit 3: marketing in the next term. 

In a world where 90% of business start-ups fail, it is critical that the foundations of business are covered in order to prepare entrepreneurs in the best way possible. 

Year 11 IGCSE Mathematics

Year 11’s STEM project was “Trigonometry in the Real World - measuring the height of a tree” . In a recent maths lesson they managed to go through their plan and actually measure the height of a tree on the Secondary campus. Below you can see their project and how they got on.  Rough Plan created by Mik, Buck, Le Pain and Hugo.

Year 12 A level Art

Year 12 A-level student Mariha has been working on an oil painting over the last few weeks featuring a famous autobiographical work from Frida Kahlo, 'The hunted deer'. It's Mariha's first composition with oil as a medium, a project that requires time and patience but which is essential in the painting process as oil paint is a required skill for her future development. The final result is proof of her craftmanship and will encourage her to make more work in oil on canvas. Well done Mariha.

Year 13 A level Chemistry

Year 13 students have been diving deep into organic chemistry and spectroscopy techniques. NMR spectroscopy is a technique used by chemists and biochemists to investigate the properties of organic molecules. If you are conducting an experiment, you can use NMR to make sure you have the correct product, identify unknown products or test purity.

The two types of spectra studied at International A Level are Carbon-13 and proton spectroscopy. Students learnt how NMR spectroscopy works and how chemists use this method to analyze compounds in organic chemistry. 

This topic has far reaching real world applications such as MRI scans in hospitals, food quality control and research, drug discovery and development, cancer diagnosis, environmental monitoring and identifying human disorders, to name a few.


HOUSES @ RBIS


4 houses

The RBIS Houses are designed to embody the values and ethos of our school and are an integral part of our school community.

Our Houses' main aim is to provide every student in each house with a sense of belonging within the school community, opportunities to develop social, intellectual, physical and practical skills, a sense of achievement both inside and outside of the classroom including through the fun and excitement of inter-house competitions.

Students are assigned to one of our four Houses when they join the EY, Primary, Middle or Senior sections of the school; entering a system which is designed to develop an awareness of individual and collective responsibility and opportunities for student leadership. Each house has two designated elected House Captains  (Primary and Secondary) who will act as representatives for all the students in their house throughout the year by: helping coordinate house teams, organise activities and events and represent their house at relevant meetings.

House events at Secondary (November) : 

Badminton tournament

The Inter House badminton competition finished this month. It was a fantastic event, and many students participated, hoping to lift the trophy for their house. 

The event was a great success as the lunchtime crowds came in huge numbers and with great enthusiasm. The same was seen in all of the players who participated. It was an incredible display of talent; they took up the challenge and gave their best at all times.

On Friday, the 4th of November, the whole school gathered around the court to support the contestants in the semi-final and the final. They weren’t disappointed as they got to experience some wonderful displays of talent. During the finals, there were some nail-biting finishes.

The semi-final was as follows:

 Middle school: Benjamin (Y8, Unicorn) v Oskar (Y8, Lion)

High school: Son (Y9, Lion) v Earth (Y10, Dragon).

Final: Benjamin (Y8, Unicorn) v Son (Y9)

A huge congratulations to Son for taking 1st place for the second year in a row and crowning Lion house as the tournament winner! And a big well done to Benjamin for coming in 2nd place for Unicorn house in his first inter-house competition! 

Public Speaking and Poetry Competitions

The heats of the Inter-House Public Speaking Competition and the Inter-House Poetry Competition were underway this week. All those who entered presented some amazing pieces. Not only were the presentations confident and engaging, but the quality of writing in both age groups were astounding. Finals will take place during lunch time on Wednesday and Friday (30th November and 2nd December) in the canteen - students come and watch our finalists Freya, Ava, Alice, Benjamin, Bianca, Lolo, Jenny and Jericho and lend them your support! The winners of all four competitions will perform at the RBIS PRESENTS: An Evening of the Arts on the evening of Thursday 8th December at the BACC. Click here to book your tickets.

Teacher tournament

We are almost finished with our Teacher badminton tournament, with only a couple of matches to go before we find out if it is Mr Aut (PE) or Ms Bell (English) who will take on the mighty Mr De Smet in the grand final!

Well done to Mr KreangKrai (Thai 1st lang), who nearly took the winner's spot! You were a worthy opponent for Mr De Smet. A big thank you to Ms Paliwala (Chemistry/general science) (who kept her training shoes in her lab in anticipation) for graciously playing a match against Mr Aut. 

It has been a fantastic tournament, and the children have been great spectators, cheering on all our teachers. I know they will bring that community spirit to the final!


Chess tournament

The inter-house chess tournament is well underway, with multiple matches occurring every lunchtime. We have witnessed tried and tested moves alongside newer and more contemporary play styles. 

Well done to Awei, Sinchan and Mr Sein for reaching the second round; I wonder who they will battle in next...

ROUND SQUARE @ RBIS

RBIS is proud to announce it is a global member member of ROUND SQUARE which is a prestigious international organisation with schools in over 50 countries, across six continents. 

It focuses on holistic education practices through the following six key IDEALS: 

Internationalism: Students are taught to value and respect all cultures, religions and languages. They learn to see themselves as global citizens and are asked to look beyond gender, class, race, nationality and culture to understand human nature. 

Democracy: Freedom of thought and speech is greatly encouraged and appropriate forums and channels of communication are in place for students to voice their views. Students are also taught to appreciate the importance of self-discipline and are trained and expected to share in the responsibility for development of the school. 

Environment: Round Square students are expected to demonstrate concern for all natural environments, to be aware of proven problems and to play a practical role in tackling environmental issues. Students are taught the interdependence needed to maintain a healthy relationship between human beings and the planet. 

Adventure: Building character through adventure, meeting physical challenges and developing an appreciation of the outdoors: these are all central to Round Square schools.


Leadership: Students are taught that true leadership is found in those whose convictions are rooted in personal responsibility, kindness and justice. Opportunities for student leadership in the school community are fostered extensively. 

Service: This is the key element utilised by Round Square schools to prepare students for life through the expectation of serving others. Students commit themselves to local, regional and international service projects. 

Round Square related events at Secondary (November) : 

Round Square – Kindness Initiative

RBIS students collaborated with students at Colegio Colombo Britanico in Colombia and dozens of other schools around the world on an initiative to spread kindness around their community. 

Secondary students created a week long kindness log where they documented good deeds throughout the week. These were shared with other Round Square schools around the world. 

A special thank you to Mr Reed and Ms Reid for setting a great example and creating their own kindness logs as well.

The experience was a very reqarding one and it got students to take time out of their day to focus on doing a little bit of good for others.

Community service  – Recycling & donations to charities

In this month's Community Service lesson we looked at ways in which we could help the city community as well as ideas for our school community. We also talked about our upcoming 6th Form Community Service trips: PAWS and Christmas Charity - see more details below. In our ECA the students were asked to answer the following - “What does participating in community service mean to you?” Here are some of the responses:

These past few months I have participated in community service in a way I have never. Usually, most people who are more fortunate participate in community service through charities and donations, but it's not often that people think about community service beyond just the annual donations. Participating in community service with a group and actively working to properly plan a way in which everyone feels involved shows much more genuinity in the action. It shows that the true reason for community service isn't just to give, but to create an equal standing for everyone. Participating in community service is choosing to help without wanting anything in return and a reminder to be grateful to what you have rather than look at all that you lack.                                                                                                       Hafsa year 13   

Community Service has made me realise the impact I can have on the people and community around me. I am very excited to visit the Foundation and PAWS so that I can feel proud of all the work the 6th form and I have put in.                                                                                                                                          Jericho year 12

In Community Service we learn how to help others. We also learn about recycling and looking after the environment. I am looking forward to going to PAWS and the Foundation so that I can help others.                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Poom year 12

Community Service provides sixth form students at RBIS International School with the opportunity to become an active member of their community. It makes students have a helping mind, this can cultivate them to be a social leader in the future. Community Service also teaches them to be confident, make them have several useful knowledge and skills and have a voluntary mind to serve the public. I'm really excited to see cats and dogs at PAWS Bangkok. I want to know where their habitat is, how they live and I'm looking forward to seeing them happy and having a pleasant time.                                                                                                        Kenny year 13


Round Square – Cultural Exchange Initiative

RBIS students are creating videos about Thai cultural festivals to showcase to students at Calgary French & International School, Canada as part of a cultural exchange project. 

Students from Years 9-13 are in the process of finalizing their videos which will cover a range of festivals such as Songkran, Loy Krathong and Chinese new Year. Both schools will then exchange videos with each other to learn more about the unique festivals and traditions of their respective countries. 

We're very excited to see the final videos, which we can't wait to share with the RBIS community!

Alumni of the month

Ann Kutzer - graduated from RBIS in 2008

"It has been more than a decade since I left the school but my time spent here is remembered very fondly until these days. This school certainly is one of the main factors that shaped my career path. I was given the opportunity to perfect my skills, focus on what I would like to do and at the same time not neglect what was essential to fulfil my highest potential. What I have achieved today, all started here at RBIS. I cannot stress enough the importance of a great education system, encouraging learning environment and highly-qualified teaching staff members; this school has them all.

After I finished my studies at RBIS, I earned a Bachelor of Arts with First-class Honours in Interior and Product Design from University of Wales, UK and a diploma in the same course from Accademia Italiana Design Institute, Italy. Then, in 2014 I joined a short course in Scenic Art for Theatre at Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), London.

Between 2011-2017 I had been working as an interior designer at numerous international companies in Thailand. In 2018 I moved to England and joined Production Design - Master of Arts course at National Film & Television School (NFTS) and graduated with Distinction in 2020. I am now a film set designer based in London/Ireland and have been working actively on both live-action/animation films and television series. My recent clients include Netflix, MGM, Warner Brothers and Hallmark."

ECA Focus

Football ECA

Every Monday lots of Secondary students improve their football skills and techniques on the RBIS pitch. The sessions are delivered by Mr De Smet and are for ages 11 till 18. The main aim is to have fun, but also to further develop their game understanding and to get a chance to be selected to play matches against other schools.

Coding club

Algorithms

Coding is about writing algorithms or recipes to achieve a specific task. Programs should always be decomposed or broken down into smaller steps for efficient code creation.

Research

It's not abnormal to research errors and problems that arise with coding. Coding is about exploring, making errors and learning from those errors through testing, analysis and research (Googling).

Problem solving

Problem solving is a key transferable skill that can be used in many other fields. Coding teaches programmers to become logical thinkers and solve problems using the most efficient methods. 

School blog post

The Power of Continuous Professional Development (CPD)
(Written by RBIS English specialist, Mrs. Bell)

As educators, we love learning. I would argue that we embody, more than any other profession in the world, the concept of being a life-long learner. Which is probably as it should be to be honest! We are learning every day; from our research, from our colleagues and even from our students (I now know that the singular of “species” is “species”, thank you Ava!). As educators, I would also argue that we are very aware that education and learning do not only happen in the classroom. We learn from our families, from the world around us, from our experiences. Finally, we are hugely aware that there is no ‘end goal’ when it comes to learning, there is no finite amount of knowledge that can be acquired and allow us to say “I’ve done it! I have completed learning!” and this is where CPD comes in. Please click the link to the school blog below to find out more...

Our head prefect interviews .....

foreign students at RBIS

Kenny interviewed...

Sooro (Y.6) from South Korea
Benjamin (Y.8) from Myanmar
Hafsa (Y.13) from Pakistan
Emily (Y.13) from China

What's your best memory that has happened since you started joining this school? 

Sooro: My best memory was a Christmas party because it was so fun and happy to play with my friends.
Benjamin: The best memory that has happened since I joined definitely has to be making new friends through football.
Hafsa: My best memory is house activities, because it allowed me to interact and work with others.
Emily: My best memory was joining the play. I'm doing the art bit, I have more communications with others.

Is it hard to study in the British Curriculum in Thailand? 

Sooro: Yes, studying in Thailand is a little bit hard. I have never studied in Korea before.
Benjamin:  Speaking for myself, I didn’t experience much trouble at all even though I came from an American school. Some difficulties are definitely the differences in metrics that are used in the two curriculums. I’m still getting used to things like that but overall I’ve not had that many problems.
Hafsa: It’s not hard to study it, probably because it's the only curriculum I’ve studied. But I do believe that studying a curriculum in another country allows a more open minded insight.
Emily: Studying in Thailand is not really hard, it's easier than in China.

What is your country well- known for?  

Sooro: My country is well- known for Korean Barbeque. It is traditional, smokey and delicious food.
Benjamin: My country of origin is known for their belief in Buddhism, culture such as the beautiful pagodas, traditional food and the unstable.
Hafsa: My country is Pakistan, and it's known for many things. From foods like Biryani, Nihari and Seekh Kebab to cultural art shown in clothes and truck art. There're many locations that are also well known, as 5 of the 14 tallest mountains are in Pakistan. Another vital point of Pakistan is the Khewra Salt Mines, which provides a large portion of Himalayan salt.
Emily: China is well-known for products. We have fast trains and nowadays most products are made from China. 

What is the difference in food between your country and Thailand? 

Sooro: Korean food is salty, sweet and not too spicy like Bulgogi, Bossam and Tteokbokki. But in Thailand, it's spicy and tasty such as Tom Yum Kung and Som Tum. Moreover, Korean rice is similar to Japanese rice, but Thailand rice is more sticky and dry. 
Benjamin: For me Thai cuisine is way too spicy, Burmese cuisine is mostly savoury with a little spice here and there like Creamy Coconut Burmese Chicken Curry. Personally I prefer Burmese cuisine but Thai cuisine is awesome too.
Hafsa: The main difference between the two cuisines is that, Pakistan has dishes more based around different forms of bread, whereas Thailand has dishes based more around rice. Pakistani dishes are also spice and herb rich. The desserts also have their own variety in shapes, colour and taste, such as Kheer, Gulab jamun, Rabri and many more. 
Emily: My country's food has more taste than in Thailand, mostly sweet food.
