Dear Parents and Guardians,

I hope your children have had a good week at DBS.

In Prep-Prep this week it was creative curriculum week and after some learning about space, our Year 1 and 2 students went on an exciting visit to the Bangkok Planetarium.

In our Prep Assembly this week, Our Year 5 students staged a peaceful 'protest' to highlight what the have learned about their persuasive writing unit on sustainability. All Year 5 students wrote an extremely well structured email to members of the Senior Leadership Team about ideas for improving sustainability here at DBS. The quality of their writing was fantastic and they had many ideas that we can take on board. Today as part of the assembly, they spoke eloquently to the other Prep students about their ideas.

Tomorrow, we will host our Thai university fair with representatives from 16 universities as well as workshops for students and parents. We encourage all to attend. Please see the email that went out about registering but if you have forgotten to register, don't worry, you can still turn up if you wish. The event starts in D5 at 8.30 for registration.

Lastly, I have the very exciting news that we are now accredited members of the Council of British International Schools. We join Wellington College,Rugby School and Brighton College as the only accredited COBIS member schools in Thailand. This will open up further competitions and opportunities for our students to compete internationally. COBIS is an extremely important organisation in the international sector with strong connections to the UK Department of Education, giving member schools a voice on issues that may impact on the British International School sector. A further added benefit is the training and development they provide, with one notable area being training and support relating to careers and university guidance.

Have a nice weekend,

Jonny Liddell
