Gymnasts, musicians and singers kicked off this year’s Busking Week at Primary School. Catch a morning concert and visit with our performers at break time all week.
The week got off to a banging start with a mini concert in the Year 6 quad from STA Bang! Our trusty Year 6 House Captains collected some donations from the audience, so thank you to all those who donated to our House Charity, The Central Thailand Mission.
Come and catch the morning concerts each day this week at 7:25 a.m. in the Y6 Quad:
The performers were out in force at break time today as well. We had some gymnasts, musicians and singers. We are looking forward to a lot more talent emerging throughout the week!
Please remember so send your child in with some small change so they can donate to the buskers throughout the week.

High School Design and Technology students step outside the classroom to explore design and architecture in Bangkok. Year 8 students visited a uniquely designed café precinct, where they learned from the architect of the precinct himself how thoughtful use of materials, geometry, and landscaping can transform spaces. Meanwhile, Year 12 IB students explored the fusion of modern technology and traditional craftsmanship and the use of natural materials at the impressive studio of renowned Thailand-based architect Patrick Keane.

The day encourages physical activity, builds good sportsmanship, and creates lasting memories, making it one of the most special days of the school year.
