The Maths Faculty celebrated Pi Day last Thursday, 13th March 2025, with engaging and educational activities. The day immersed students in mathematics through challenges, puzzles, and hands-on exploration. The theme also found its way into Science classes. Students explored Pi's relevance in various scientific disciplines, from calculating gear circumference in physics to understanding molecular movement in chemistry.
Throughout the day, activities took place all over the High School. Students participated in events like a 3.14km Fun Run and a Number Hunt with 26 math questions assigned to 26 teachers they had to track down. At break time, students were competing in a Pi Recital Competition and a Stop Watch Competition, and the Stemettes (a student-led initiative) organised a ‘Pi-your-teachers’ game. Last month, Year 7 students submitted Pi-themed design t-shirts into a competition, and the winning design was worn by Maths teachers and used as a prize for many of the activities taking place.
The events fostered healthy competition and collaboration, with House Points awarded to participants and winners. Pi Day successfully demonstrated the fun and practical applications of mathematics across different subjects and sparked curiosity and excitement!
NAE Global Campus received a staggering 3,300 entries from 66 Nord Anglia schools all around the world, and one student from STA shone bright, winning Best in Show in the Art Music category: a big congratulations to Freya in Year 8 for her truly outstanding achievement and stellar performance!
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.
Sports Day in Primary School is a joyful and exciting event that brings the school community together to celebrate movement, teamwork, and fun. With a wide range of activities—from egg and spoon races to shot put throws—students in Primary compete in House teams, cheered on by teachers, families, and friends. The day encourages physical activity, builds good sportsmanship, and creates lasting memories, making it one of the most special days of the school year.
