Yearbook AY 2019-2020 (Ekkamai campus)

CEO’s Message
This has been an extraordinary year for many reasons.
This was the year that revealed how fragile the world can be
when faced with global crises such as COVID-19.
This was the year that showed how vulnerable the school can
be to forces that are beyond our control.
But this was also the year that reassured me that no matter
what challenges there may be, SISB is capable of rising up to
it, and say, “this will not beat us”.
From enduring the possibility of COVID-19 infections, to
ensuring that our students continue their education through
Home-Based Learning, our entire community of students,
parents and staff has done exceptionally well.
However, the threat of COVID-19 is far from being a thing of
the past. We will still need to be careful, and adapt to what many are terming as the “new normal”. I am
confident that SISB will continue to do well, regardless of the circumstances.
Despite the apparent difficulties, we have every reason to be optimistic about our future.
Many of our Secondary-Sixth Form students have received offers from acclaimed universities from
around the world. Armed with the solid foundation that an education in SISB has provided them, they
are well-placed to achieve success no matter where or what they choose to pursue.
SISB Pracha Uthit will offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) from August, in
addition to Cambridge International AS & A Levels. The IBDP provides our students with more options,
and will definitely help them get into top universities and achieve success in their future careers.
Our campuses in Thonburi and Chiangmai have also started their Secondary sections, in line with our
belief to provide a through-train education pathway for our students.
To cater for this expansion, SISB Thonburi will begin the construction of a new phase very soon, providing
modern facilities such as a new academic block, and other amenities that blend nature and design. Our
students will have a very conducive environment to learn in.
Please have faith that we are ready and able to overcome the challenges that lie before us. I urge you
to stand together with my team and I, and we will make sure that our days ahead are bright and full of
possibilities.
