On June 28 a group of Year 10s and IB1s went on a trip to Koh Samet. The IBs went there<br />
to conduct some experiments for their IB studies and the Year 10s went as part of their<br />
coursework, and took upon themselves the task of finding out whether the island of Samet<br />
has yet recovered from the aftermath of the 2013 oil spill.<br />
In order to do this the Year 10s surveyed multiple businesses, fishermen and ferry people.<br />
They also took a few sand and water samples from Ao Phrao beach, which was badly<br />
affected by the oil spill, and from Sai Keaw beach on the other side of the island.<br />
The Year 10s’ day started with a delicious breakfast followed by surveys until 1pm, when<br />
they had lunch in the hotel, and then there was more research until 4pm. After this the<br />
students had some free time, and came together for dinner.<br />
Friends Help with Maintenance Dinner<br />
The Friends of Garden PTA recently made a<br />
generous 2,000 baht donation for the end-of-year<br />
dinner for the maintenance staff and maids.<br />
Picnic and Sport<br />
A Friends of Garden picnic and sports afternoon was held<br />
on June 14. Creative Prefect Sarah worked marvels with<br />
the student entertainment while IB students helped out with<br />
volleyball, popcorn and ice cream.<br />
The cricket was fun, with Vamsi's New Zealand-Indian<br />
team beating the Australian-Indian team! Thank you to<br />
everyone who pulled together with FoG PTA to help make<br />
the event happen.
