Today year 9 took the art classroom outside. The students are doing some direct observational drawings for their new project “A Sense of Place”. The students used viewfinders to select an area of interest to draw, then set their timers to do quick studies in only 15 seconds, 30 seconds, and 1 minute. This exercise helped the students to focus on shape and form before moving on to doing their more detailed drawings. It’s always a challenge drawing from life instead of a photo but this method brings energy and originality to the art we create.

As part of the forces and motion section of the year 7 course we were investigating how the size and shape of a parachute determined how quickly it falls. Various shapes were tested but the equilateral triangle performed the best. Three cords performed better than four. Threading the cords onto the parachutes was a fairly tricky task!

After many months of 'online teaching' we are finally opened! As the first school in Songkhla, we are not only privileged, but excited having our students back.

Today marked another very important day in the Bloomsbury calendar as all of the secondary students and teachers gathered together for the end-of-school-year awards.

Bloomsbury International School Hatyai takes great pride in supporting all our students to enable them to realise their full potential to the maximum degree in all the subjects they follow.

To start a new and exciting year at Bloomsbury, Secondary students had a day of fun educational activities at Ton Nga Chang Waterfall on 30 September 2020.

On Friday 28 August at 2pm, Bloomsbury's executives welcomed His Excellency Fachry Sulaiman, the Consul General of the Republic of Indonesia in Songkhla, and Madam Evariana Sulaiman, his wife, to celebrate the graduation of their daughter, Miss Siti Nadhira Sulaiman. A number of teachers and secondary students assembled at the Convention Hall to witness Miss Nadhira receive a certificate for successfully completing AS level. This was followed by everyone sampling an Indonesian cuisine consisting of Soto Banjar, noodle soup from Kalimantan, Indonesian fried roll, and a sweet layered cake.

Bloomsbury International School Hatyai congratulates Miss Nadhira once again for being accepted at Gadjah Mada University, Indonesia in the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences. Best wishes as you begin a new adventurous journey.
