A word from the Head of Secondary
Dear parents and students,
As we approach the end of April, we reflect on the exciting events that have taken place at our secondary school over the past few weeks.
We began the month with the vibrant Songkran celebrations, where our students and staff had the opportunity to experience the Thai New Year and its traditional water festival. It was a fun-filled event that brought our community together and allowed us to celebrate the joys of this auspicious occasion.
Following this, we celebrated World Book Night, where our Y.6 and Y.7 students participated in various reading activities at school overnight and explored the wonders of literature. It was an excellent opportunity for our students to broaden their horizons and develop a love for reading that will benefit them throughout their lives.
Our Y.6 to 8 students also took part in the UKMT Junior Maths Challenge, where they put their mathematical skills to the test and demonstrated their problem-solving abilities. It was an excellent opportunity for our students to showcase their talents and challenge themselves academically. The overall results will be announced in our next newsletter edition.
In addition, our annual Trashion Show took place today, where our students showcased their creativity and fashion skills by designing outfits made entirely from recycled materials. It was a remarkable event that highlighted our students' commitment to sustainability and the environment. Congratulations to Year 12 for winning the competition!
Finally, our IGCSE students already started some external examinations this month. We wish them all the best and hope that their hard work and dedication pay off.
We are proud of our students' achievements and are grateful for the support of our parents and staff. We look forward to continuing our journey together and wish everyone a safe and healthy month ahead.

Songkran celebrations (31st March)
On Friday, March 31st, our school celebrated the Thai New Year with a range of exciting activities. The festivities began with a traditional ritual of sprinkling scented water onto Buddha images, which was followed by a briefing on the history of Songkran by our students. This was a great opportunity for our students to learn more about the significance of this important cultural event.
The highlight of the day was the 'Rodnarm Dumhua' ceremony, where our students poured water on the hands of our teachers and asked for blessings. This was a meaningful and heartfelt moment that highlighted the strong sense of community and respect that exists within our school.
Following lunch, our students treated us to some fantastic performances of Thai popular songs, which was followed by the Songkran Splash on the football pitch. The students had a great time playing with water and enjoying the festive atmosphere.
Throughout the day, Thai food, desserts, and snacks were provided, which allowed our students to experience the traditional flavors of Songkran. Overall, it was a wonderful celebration that allowed us to come together as a community and honor this important Thai cultural event. We thank our students and Thai department for their efforts in making this a memorable day for all involved.

World book night (31st March)
World Book Night was an exciting event for our Year 6 and 7 students, who spent the evening at school reading, discussing, and playing games related to their favourite authors and books. The students were enthusiastic and engaged, and it was a delight to see them share their love of literature with one another. Many of the students even came dressed as book characters, adding a fun and creative element to the event.
Throughout the night, the students were able to explore a diverse range of books and authors, and engage in meaningful conversations about the themes and messages within them. It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to broaden their literary horizons, discover new perspectives and develop a deeper appreciation for the written word. Overall, it was a wonderful evening that highlighted our students' love for reading, and we look forward to hosting similar events in the future.
'Asia Books' Book Fair (20th & 21st April)
Our Secondary school hosted a small 'Asia Books' Book Fair on the 20th and 21st of April. This event was a wonderful opportunity for our students to browse a nice collection of books and educational materials. Our school is committed to promoting reading and literacy, and this mini book fair was a perfect way to encourage a love of reading in our students. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the organizers for bringing such a fantastic selection of books to our school. We hope that this event will have a positive impact on our students' reading habits and will inspire them to continue exploring the world of literature.
UKMT Junior maths Challenge (26th April)
We are proud to announce that our Year 6, 7, and 8 students recently participated in the UKMT Junior Maths Challenge. This annual event is designed to challenge and inspire young mathematicians, and our students rose to the occasion. They were able to demonstrate their mathematical skills, logical reasoning and problem-solving abilities as they tackled a range of challenging mathematical problems.
Participating in the UKMT Junior Maths Challenge is an excellent opportunity for our students to showcase their academic abilities and push themselves academically. We are proud of our students' efforts, and we look forward to sharing the results of the challenge in the next edition of the newsletter. We are confident that our students have performed well, and we hope that their hard work and dedication pay off. Congratulations to all our students who participated, and we thank our maths department for their continued efforts in nurturing our students' love for mathematics.
Annual Trashion Show (28th April)
We are excited to share that our Year 6 to Year 13 students participated in our school's annual Trashion Show today. This event highlights our school's commitment to sustainability and the environment (one of the Round Square pillars), as our students designed and created outfits made entirely from recycled materials. The Trashion Show was a fantastic opportunity for our students to showcase their creativity and innovation, while also raising awareness about the importance of reducing waste and protecting our planet. The event was a great success, and our students produced some incredible designs that left us all amazed. We are proud of our students' commitment to sustainability, and we look forward to continuing to promote eco-friendly practices at our school.

What's Going On?
Year 6 drama
Year 6 has been on an Elizabethan journey this month, researching and performing extracts from six Shakespearean plays, a task they have approached with their usual vigour and enthusiasm.
They completed their Shakespearean unit by reimagining classic fairytales as if the bard had written them!
Anna, Janice, Ping Ping, and Plawaln gave 'The three little pigs' an Elizabethan twist and captured the comedic timings of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Am, Freya, Zaizi, and Tapiwa channeled the chaos and misunderstanding of 'Much Ado About Nothing' into their retelling of 'Goldilocks and the three bears'.
Sean, Ville and Sooro Kim made Little Red Riding Hood more akin to the haunting of Macbeth than Charles Perrault's original vision.
Year 7 Chinese
During this week, the HSK level 1 word competition was held for Year 7 students. As we had already finished studying the HSK level 1 syllabus, we utilized this opportunity to revise all the words before commencing with our studies of HSK level 2. HSK, short for the Chinese Proficiency Test, is an internationally recognized standardized test designed to evaluate the proficiency of non-native Chinese speakers. Currently, there are six levels of the HSK, and those who have cleared level 6 can easily comprehend information in written or spoken Chinese and fluently express their thoughts and opinions in the language. I am sure that the students' Chinese proficiency will continue to improve. Ultimately, Ava and Alice emerged as the first and second-place winners of the competition.
Year 8 maths
Year 8 are currently preparing for the UKMT Junior Maths Challenge. Exposure to questions from previous challenges has enable the students to develop their skills and ability to use different strategies.
As the competition moves closer they have become more confident and are looking forward to tackling the 2023 maths challenge.
Our new unit of work at the start of term 3 is, "Presenting and interpreting data" which will cover dual and compound bar charts, frequency diagrams as well as 'stem and leaf' diagrams.
Year 9 history
Our Year 9 students are currently learning about World War 2 during their history lessons. This is a fascinating and important period in history, and our students are learning about the causes, events, and consequences of the war. Through their studies, they are gaining a greater understanding of the impact that World War 2 had on Thailand and the world and its people. At the same time they are developing important critical thinking and analytical skills as they examine different perspectives and evaluate historical evidence.

What's Going On?
Year 10 IGCSE English
Persuasive Products
Year 10 found themselves the focus of a Dragon's Den style language and design project as they brushed up their directed writing skills with a plentitude of pitch-perfect presentation performances!
Mr. Henderson was more than impressed by the raw ingenuity of the product designs which were both interesting and innovative! The advertising slogans and use of ethos (credibility), logos (logic) and pathos (emotion) were applied superbly, resulting in an emphatic presentation class of sales pitches and expressive promotions; an awesome advert for the abilities of students at RBIS.
Year 11 PE
In this semester, softball is the focus of Year 11 students' learning. At the beginning, the students engaged in practical exercises to become familiar with the weight and characteristics of the ball, as well as the features of gloves and softball bats, and learned how to use various equipment. Next, they were taught the correct way to catch the ball, including proper standing positions, receiving the ball with gloves, and estimating and identifying the different types of incoming balls. As a result of these lessons, the students demonstrated exceptional performance and have acquired a solid foundational understanding of receiving and throwing the ball.
Year 12 AS business
With exams approaching, students of Business Studies Year 12 are working hard to ensure they are well-prepared for their assessments. They have been practicing a lot of past papers and worksheets that cover a range of topics, including management, finance, human resource management, marketing, competition, revenue, supply and demand, promotion, branding, pricing, entrepreneurship, leadership qualities and roles, business forecasting, business failure, quality management, supply chain management, economic impacts on business and budgeting, legislation, and the competitive environment.
One of the unique features of these worksheets and past papers is that they cover a wide range of case studies based on famous companies all across the world. These case studies are a great way for students to learn about the practical applications of the theories they have studied in class. They are also challenging and fun to solve, which makes the learning process even more engaging. Solving these case studies allows students to develop their analytical and problem-solving skills, which are essential for success in the world of business. With their hard work and dedication, students of Business Studies Year 12 are well-prepared for their upcoming exams.
Year 13 PSHE
As Y13's journey with RBIS nears the end, our PSHE lessons focus on the skills they will need when they graduate in the summer.
Some students are travelling abroad for further study, whereas some are looking to expand their horizons with some independent travel. Therefore, we have been studying the 'Keeping Safe when Abroad unit'. It contains information on Passports, Visas, legal rights, etc.
It has created some interesting discussion points amongst all the students, what do they prioritise when visiting other countries? How do they handle unknown situations? Who can they contact in an emergency?
It has been fantastic watching the students' confidence grow with each lesson, learning that travel is an exciting and exhilarating experience - as long as you stay safe!
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 or Secondary 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 (April) :
Football tournament
What an exciting way to wrap up the Secondary house football tournament! Today's all-star students vs teachers match was full of action with a score of 1-1. The students scored first with a brilliant goal from Win, but the teachers fought back with an equalizer from Mr Man, the PE teacher. Mr De Smet made some incredible saves in the second half to keep the teachers' team in the game. It was a fantastic display of skill and sportsmanship from everyone involved. Congratulations to both teams!
Student team line-up: Act, Win, Toey, Yewo, Benjamin
Teacher team line-up: Mr De Smet, Mr Sein, Mr Asena, Mr Aut, Mr Man
Referee: Ms Reid
Line woman: Ms Paliwala
Table Football tournament
We are continuously elevating our RBIS team spirit, and what could be more inspiring than organising yet another tournament? This time, our students have had the chance to choose the next house game, and they have chosen to measure their skills in Table Football (Foosball)! It is being organised by our Y7 student Alice, who has shown great enthusiasm and leadership skills.
Table Football is a game that has been around for nearly a century. Dating back to the 1890s in Victorian England, table football evolved during a Renaissance that witnessed the widespread invention of new games. Games like croquet, snooker, and rugby also came about during this period. Table football was one of the many parlour games that became well-known in the early 20th century.
Look for tournament updates in next month's newsletter!

Student awards and achievements
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.

"White Walls" art project
Our art students have been busy preparing a number of impressive projects as part of two different Round Square collaborations.
The first is a project led by Newcastle Grammar School in New South Wales, Australia. This is titled "White Walls" and for this collaboration, students from around the world will contribute their ideas of what "perspective" means to them on a canvas, wall, or any other space they choose.
This shared concept of perspective will then be created into a global mural, an artwork on a simple white wall at Newcastle Grammar School bringing together the perspective of young people from around the world. Keep an eye out for next month's newsletter to see pictures of the students' amazing artwork.
"One Planet, One Future" art competition
Our art specialist Mr Sein is hard at work helping students prepare for an art competition hosted by Chittagong Grammar School, Bangladesh titled "One Planet, One Future". Using any medium of their choice (acryllic, water colour, pastels etc.) students will create artwork around the theme and submit it electronically before May 31.
Good luck to all students who are participating, and thank you once again to Mr Sein for all his hard work!
Round Square IDEALS - Service
Being a Round Square school means that we are commited to character education and experiential learning built around six IDEALS. This month, we'd like to focus on "Service" - looking outside of yourself for ways to assist others, showing kindness and empathy, making authentic connections and being compassionate towards others.
Service is an important part of our ethos. All RBIS students from Year 6 to sixth form have participated in service projects since the beginning of the year. Our community service leader, Mr Reed, has led and guided the students in numerous projects throughout the year. In June, our 6th form students will go to Pinkaew School in Ayutthaya to help repair the facilities there, and will also be hosting fund raising events to help buy supplies for the school. (Please see the community service section below to find out how you can help.)
Our 6th form students have also taken the initiative to help build a reading corner for the students of Pinkaew School. We'd like to commend them for their efforts and hope to see more student led projects in future as well. As a member of Round Square, we'd love to see all our students and the entire RBIS community being involved in and taking initiative on Round Square projects.
Community Service (April)
Sixth Form Community Service Residential
June 19th to June 23rd 2023
This year our 6th Form will travel to Pinkaew School in Ayutthaya for their Community Service residential. The school was recently affected by the floods and is in need of assistance to repair their facilities and provide resources for their students.
When we visited the school we decided that a suitable project would be to renovate two classrooms - our 6th form students will do the painting and with help also tile the floors. The 6th form students would also like to create the RBIS reading corner in the library with a carpet area and bean bags and/or cushions. This would be an area that the children at the school could enjoy the pleasure of reading. We have already started to collect books and our total has already reached over 300 books.
We need the support of the RBIS community to help us carry out our project. We have started to hold fund - raising events which will help us buy materials and other items to help the school. How can you help? - see below
As you can see the rooms are in need of renovation. There are some books in the library but no reading area which is why our 6th form would like to provide this for the children.
This month's Community Service lesson.
We began with a reminder about recycling and all the recyclables that students can bring to school. We want to encourage all students to participate in this important venture. During the start of the lesson students were told about the inclusion of House points in the recycling project.
The second part of the lesson was about our Community Service Residential at Pinkaew School in Ayutthaya. Students were asked to complete postcards for the children at the school which will be given out as a welcome at the beginning of the residential in June.
In our March newsletter we told you about RBIS International School starting a partnership with 'Precious Plastic Bangkok' in collaboration with 'CirPlas' Thailand's leading waste management company. This week we had our first "pick up" when we handed over bags of plastic water bottles, plastic cups, plastic cutlery, plastic bags, plastic yogurt cartons and for Precious Plastic Bangkok we gave 23500 plastic tops.

Alumni of the month
Supachok (Pete) Chittapisan who graduated from RBIS in 2013
"Greetings everyone,
My name is Supachok Chittapisan, also known as Pete to those who attended RBIS around the same time as me. I joined RBIS in Year 10 and graduated in 2013. Although my time at RBIS was relatively short compared to other alumni, it was incredibly meaningful. I was fortunate enough to know which field of study I wanted to pursue in my bachelor's degree and my career, and RBIS provided me with the opportunity to pursue my interests with more freedom than the standard Thai school system. The international environment at RBIS allowed me to blend in with classmates from diverse backgrounds and cultures. RBIS prepared me for the challenges that lay ahead and paved the way for my future.
After graduating from RBIS, I pursued my dream degree in environmental science at Mahidol University International College, where I excelled both academically and in extracurricular activities. My time at RBIS instilled in me the confidence and determination to pursue my passion for environmental science. I graduated from MUIC with a high GPA and was accepted into several master's degree courses, including the University of Reading, University of Sussex, and the University of Leeds.
I chose to attend the University of Leeds for my Master's degree in Climate Change and Environmental Policy, where I further developed my skills and technical knowledge. My international school background at RBIS and studying MSc abroad allowed me to blend in with classmates from all over the world easily. I even had the opportunity to take a 2-week research course in Tanzania as part of the International Sustainable Development module. I graduated from Leeds in 2019 and have since been working for the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) GmbH. My role started as a Junior Advisor for the Risk-based National Adaptation Plan project, where we supported the Thai government to draft a National Adaptation Plan based on the best practices and scientific approaches available.
After the project ended, I moved to the Thai-German Climate Program and am now a Project Coordinator for the Climate, Coastal, and Marine Biodiversity project. My time at RBIS helped me blend in with co-workers from diverse backgrounds, and I get to use my technical abilities to support Thailand in moving towards a more sustainable and resilient future, one policy at a time. My areas of interest are climate change adaptation, physical aspects of climate change, access to benefit sharing, natural resource management, and biodiversity conservation. Although work keeps me busy and presents various challenges, it is all worth it when I realize how much of an impact I have made. I am excited about the next chapter in my life, perhaps pursuing a Ph.D. in the near future."

Jericho Y12- AS Level student
1) How are you preparing for your exams? Are you using any particular study techniques or resources?
I’m focusing on doing past papers and reinforcing my main weaknesses which will help me to make less mistakes in the exam. This also forces me to look back at specific topics in detail which deepens my understanding and makes me feel more confident in my abilities.
2) What subjects are you feeling most confident in? Are there any subjects that you're finding particularly challenging?
I’m feeling most confident in Biology because it is my personal favourite as there are a variety of real-life applications. I’m finding maths the most challenging because of the jump from iGCSE to AS levels, but I’m slowly gaining confidence everyday
3) How do you manage exam stress? Are there any particular strategies that you use to stay calm and focused?
Personally, listening to music while I’m studying really helps me to forget about the stresses and pains of studying for long periods of time. I also try to calm myself through positive thoughts and meditation.
4) How are your teachers supporting you during exam season?
My teachers are giving me a lot of support in a variety of ways. They are always open to answering questions and clarifying topics that I’m struggling with.

3) How do you manage exam stress? Are there any particular strategies that you use to stay calm and focused?
I make sure to keep time to indulge in my own interests and take care of my health. Taking care of your health plays an important role in your exam anxiety, as less sleep, hunger and dehydration affect your mood and outlook on studying for exams.
4) How are your teachers supporting you during exam season?
The teachers are supporting me by providing all materials, practice and reviewing I need for the exams, alongside tips that will help me in certain complex topics.
5) What advice would you give to students who will be taking these exams in the future?
While these exams will bring stress, they are not the end of the line. You have a future filled with all the choices you can make, don’t let a grade be a boundary. Work hard but not at your expense.
