Dear Parents and Guardians,

Happy Chinese New Year! There was a fantastic festive spirit on the campus this morning for our celebrations with wonderful performances in assemblies throughout the day. A huge thank you to Mr Liu, the Mandarin Department and our events team for organising the event.

We had another successful sporting weekend last weekend when we took our first ever squad to the FOBISIA swimming. Every student reached a personal best which is a truly remarkable achievement. Well done to Ployya Y5, Earney Y5, Enfant Y5, Peachy Y5, Primmie Y6, Prom Y6, Put Y6, Matoom Y8 and Pepper Y8. Pepper  qualified for 4 final events and went on to finish 1st in both 50m and 100m breaststroke against 107 other athletes. The time he got in his 50m breaststroke has now ranked him 9th in Thailand for his age category, which I think we can agree is an outstanding achievement! We have a busy weekend of sport ahead with U13 and U15 volleyball as well as U19 basketball.

Swimming wasn't our only success last weekend with DBS dominating the Vex Robotics competition for the 5th year in a row! There were only two excellence awards available for the 62 teams that took part. We won both and are now sending two teams to the world finals in Texas.

Next Friday we have our international day, one of our most fun events of the year and we look forward to seeing you there!

Have a nice weekend and once again, Happy Chinese New Year!
