Dear Parents and Guardians, This week we had wonderful Year 5 and 6 production of We Will Rock You, the fantastic jukebox musical based on the music of Queen. The performances were amazing and all of Year 5 and 6 were involved and many parents really got into the spirit of the event with their rock and roll outfits! Today was the Early Years Sports Day and the sports halls were alive with activity as parents brought their children around each of the activities. Next week is also a very busy week for Sport with students participating in the Bangkok games, some of which we are hosting and some of which is held at other international schools around the city. In addition to the BISA schools, we also get to compete against some non-BISA schools. The spirit of this event is about participation and all students in Year 5 and 6 will get to take part at some time during the week. Tonight we have our Year 2 residential with students camping in the school overnight. Many parents and children are ...

Exams are a significant aspect of student life, demanding extensive preparation and often causing considerable stress. However, the period following exams is equally crucial for a student’s overall well-being and future academic performance. Recovering effectively from exams allows students to rejuvenate their minds and bodies, ensuring they are prepared for subsequent challenges. Firstly, mental relaxation is essential. Exams can be mentally draining, so students should prioritise activities that help them unwind. Engaging in hobbies, spending time with friends and family, or simply enjoying some quiet time with a book can be highly beneficial. This helps reduce stress levels and improves mental health, fostering a positive outlook towards future studies. Physical recovery is equally important. Regular exercise, adequate sleep, and a balanced diet are key components of physical well-being. Exercise, in particular, can boost endorphin levels, enhancing mood and energy. Sleep allows the...

  Dear DBS Prep Parents and Guardians, It was wonderful to see many of you yesterday as the Prep School students and parents rocked out in the Araya Hall! Year 5&6 students took to the stage to perform the electrifying musical "We Will Rock You," delivering an energised homage to the legendary band Queen. The theatre buzzed excitedly as the cast belted out iconic anthems like "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Another One Bites the Dust" with superb style and passion. The audience was transported into a dystopian world where rock music was forbidden. We were taken on a journey with two rebels who embarked on a quest to bring back the spirit of rock 'n' roll. The students' dedication, commitment and talent shone through every scene. Thank you to Mr Gower, the music, events and AV team, and the Year 5&6 staff for working tirelessly to provide this superb opportunity for the students. And congratulations to our young performers for their stunning pe...

  This week, we finished with the Early Years Sports Showcase, and it was a tremendous success. The children had the opportunity to participate in a variety of sporting activities with their parents, including running, kicking balls, sack races, hoop dash, and throwing. It was wonderful to see so many parents joining in the fun with their children. A big thank you to everyone who came and made the event so special. A special thank you  to our fantastic PE department for organising such a fun-filled morning. The Early Years children all celebrated with an ice-cream after the occasions. We are so proud of how well they all did.  Our Year 2 children are all set for an exciting event -  our first-ever residential, taking place in The Garden and sports hall after school today. We are eagerly anticipating their reactions as they embark on this adventure, with plenty of thrilling activities planned by Jump. The children will be setting up their tents in the sports hall and ...

  At DBS, we prioritise career and academic pathways from the start. In Prep School, students are encouraged to explore and develop their own interests. By Senior School, students have a clear understanding of their chosen routes and how to plan for success. Our committed team of career advisers provides individualised guidance, assisting each student in achieving their goals and gaining admission to their preferred universities.

We welcomed 57 brilliant scholars from Bangkok and Vietnam for a day of debates, collaborative writing, quizzes, a talent show, and more.  Our students won lots of medals and trophies including the overall team championship, made new friends, and each left with a cuddly alpaca, the official mascot.  We're committed to providing opportunities for our scholars to shine and are thrilled to be the host for all World Scholar events in Bangkok for the 2024 season!
