A day at school

The website A Day at School in Thailand describes a typical day at Sriwittayapaknam School from Samut Prakan in Thailand. It starts with the arrival of the students and then shows what they do before school starts. Assembly starts at 8 a.m. every morning and then the students go up to their classrooms. The students have one break in the morning and one in the afternoon. Lunch is eaten in the classrooms before the students head down to the playground. At 3.15 p.m. the duty students have to clean their classroom. On Friday afternoons, the students take part in Buddhist chanting before going home.

Thai Scouting

Scouting in Thailand is unique in that it is part of the school curriculum and receives strong support from the Thai government and people. Even the Royal Family are keen members. King Bhumibol (Rama IX) is the Chief Scout. Scouting in Thailand gives you some background information about Thai Scouting and also lets you visit a Thai school to see how they teach Scouting. In 2003 Thailand was chosen for the 20th World Scout Jamboree. The web site is made by Sriwittayapaknam School from Samut Prakan. Ithas been on-line since 1998.

RIS from Bangkok

Ruamrudee International School opened in 1957. At that time the school offered 4 classes to less than 60 students. Most of the students were children of the expatriate parishioners. The school received its international school status in 1963 by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Today, the school has nearly 1,700 students.

This month, RIS has celebrated its 50th anniversary with an opening ceremony held at the old campus downtown, followed by an alumni homecoming, gala dinner, golf tournament, and car rally. The closing ceremony for the Jubilee celebrations will take place at the present campus in May 2008.
