Inside the English Book Club We all love to discuss the latest Netflix shows and new cinematic releases, so why not do the same with what we’re reading? That’s exactly where the English Book Club comes in! Here’s a firsthand view of what you can expect...

Positive Education; Leading by Example To practise wellbeing, our College has introduced a weekly lunchtime Yoga Practice for staff to improve mental and physical health. Participating teachers have given some feedback to Mr Mr. Teerawat Nantiyakul, our Science/Physics teacher who is a certified Yoga Instructor.

A Trip to the Movies That’s Good for the Soul With the stringent social distancing policies and special school arrangement in place, it has been a hard time arranging activities outside school, and yet the English Department has made it happen - a private screening of the latest Pixar hit, filling our empty Soul.

I have never been so unprepared in my life. On the 29th of November, we had our English choral speaking competition. As there were not enough students, a few of my friends and I volunteered to help out. We were supposed to have three lessons to practice. However, because of the school suspension, we only rehearsed for one day in the end. That one day we had to learn when to bow, how to go on stage, and we had to memorise the whole poem. I was in charge of saying the name and the author of the poem at the beginning. I could memorise the poem pretty well, so I didn’t worry too much.

On the day of the competition, I was the first to speak on stage. I was nervous, but after the first word got out, the other words followed easily. Overall, I had a great experience, and through the rush of practicing, I also met a few new friends!
