We all enjoyed our special Wai Kru ceremony where our students paid their respects to all of our teaching staff. It is an important tradition in Thailand and one that reflects our values here at Bloomsbury.

We have had a fantastic start to the new school year. We have welcomed new families, students, and teachers as well as old friends. It has been lovely to feel part of such a welcoming community once again. Best of all was meeting our students and hearing of their great holiday adventures.

What a day!

This year’s prestigious Awards Ceremony was magical. We had our parents all together on-site for the first time this year, and so many of you joined in the celebration. We presented our top awards to our highest achieving students. We were also lucky enough to have our Bloomsbury’s Got Talent winners to perform on stage too. We had Hagrid and Miss McGonagall as the hosts for the event. Parents, staff, and students have all said how much they enjoyed the ceremony.

A vote of thanks to Mr. Tansey, and his team of house elves, for putting on such a fantastic show. We are looking forward to next year’s event already! It has been whispered in dark corridors that Star Wars is to be the theme.

The children of Bloomsbury celebrated the magic of the wizarding world today as they took part in a Harry Potter day. Children dressed up from the different houses; Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and of course Gryffindor. The children took part in a celebratory parade and enjoyed a well-earned rest as they watched the Harry Potter movies. A magical day was had by all.

Today the children and staff of Bloomsbury celebrated the more important holiday in the school year; Songkran. Songkran is the start of the new Thai year and is a chance to celebrate new beginnings. The children took part in a ceremony with a visiting monk to bless all the teachers but pouring water on their hands. The children also took part in a competition to build traditional and modern style sand pagodas. The sun shone on this joyous and auspicious day at Bloomsbury, and everyone had a wonderful day!

The children and staff of Bloomsbury finally got to celebrate the joy of books and reading by celebrating world book day. All the children dressed up as their favourite characters inspired by their most loved books and took part in a parade in the morning sunlight. A wonderful morning at Bloomsbury that was well worth the wait.

Today at Bloomsbury, all the staff and students celebrated International Day. Being an International School, today was an especially important opportunity to come together in our school community and celebrate the diverse and multicultural fellowship of our school.

The students, in their form groups, were tasked with choosing a country and learning about its history, traditions, culture, food and more, after which they created informative door and wall displays about their chosen country.

The highlight of the day was the International Day costume parade, in which students and staff were invited to dress up in costumes inspired by the country of their choosing. It was a colourful display that represented a wide range of different countries and their cultures.

It was a special day with a true international flavour and, of course, a lot of great learning!
