• a. Stellar - Strategies for Teaching English Language<br />
and Reading. This programme for the Pr 1-2<br />
emphasises on authentic experiential learning, engaging<br />
the students in reading and understanding.<br />
As part of their learning journey, lessons were conducted<br />
in Lumpini Park and students wrote about<br />
their field trips to Safari World, Royal Thai Air Force<br />
Museum, and Kids Science Discovery Museum.<br />
• b. Residential Trips for Pr 3 to Pr 6. Our students<br />
went to Horseshoe Point, The Pines, Nakon Nayok and<br />
Rayong for their Residential trips. We have received<br />
very good feedback from students who thoroughly<br />
enjoyed the experience. These trips had tremendous<br />
support from our students and parents. They provide<br />
our students with character development, focusing<br />
on collaboration and working together harmoniously<br />
and cohesively.These are excellent life skills needed<br />
by the students to prepare them for 21st century.<br />

PRINCIPAL, PRIMARY SECTION<br />
It is with great pleasure and satisfaction that we have successfully<br />
completed yet another hectic academic year of<br />
<strong>2016</strong>-<strong>2017</strong>. We mourned the loss of a great beloved King,<br />
King Bhumibhol Adulyadej, and welcomed the new King<br />
Maha Vajiralongkorn.<br />
SISB has just celebrated its 15th anniversary held together<br />
with the soft opening of the new secondary <strong>campus</strong> which<br />
boasts of first-class sports and performing arts facilities.<br />
This year we have consolidated and further developed many<br />
of the initiatives introduced previously. The 5 Strategic<br />
Thrusts of Quality Teaching and Learning, Quality Staff, Quality<br />
Students, Quality Resource Management, Quality Parental<br />
and Community Partnership, which we have crafted, have<br />
guided us well and this will continue to be our compass for<br />
the next five years.<br />
Below are some of the numerous programmes that were implemented<br />
and they are greatly enjoyed by the students:<br />
• c. We are into the third year of Prefectship and our prefects<br />
have done us proud. Besides their prefectorial duties<br />
of looking after the students and ensuring that all is<br />
well, they have also presented on various current affairs<br />
issues eg Slimes,Road Safety, Planets. Good job, Prefects!<br />
• d. Maths Trails which tested students on their<br />
creative problem solving skills. They are given real<br />
life situations which are not in the textbook, and<br />
have to find solutions. These activities bring out<br />
the teamwork, collaboration, and problem-solving<br />
skills in the students. Students were required to<br />
present their findings to their peers and teachers.<br />
• e. As part of our objective to engage parents in their<br />
students’ learning, for the first time, SISB organised a<br />
series of Math workshops for our parents to learn and<br />
experience the joys and frustrations of Maths. We flew<br />
in a trainer from Singapore, and the parents had fun<br />
learning together with their children and teachers. Parents<br />
can understand better the rigours their children are<br />
facing, and this will make the children more resilient!<br />
• f. The Science Competition is an annual school event<br />
whereby our Primary 3 to 6 students are posed a challenge<br />
and they have to use their creativity and process<br />
skills to complete it. This year’s competition centred<br />
around the theme ‘Creative Construction’ and our students<br />
had displayed strong leadership and communication<br />
skills.
