Dr. Tassana from Silpakorn University in Bangkok led the weekend of workshops, which was attended by students from all over southern Thailand and included several BISP Primary and Secondary students.

Students that showed great potential were to be invited to a further camp in Bangkok leading to a prestigious performance, and only one student was invited to audition for this next stage – Caterina Bendi in Year 7 at BISP.

“Caterina has just achieved an amazing distinction in her Grade 5 Music Theory examination and is clearly destined for a great musical future,” said Head of Performing Arts Paulette Wilkinson.

“Well done to everyone who took part, and to Cat in particular.”

BISP students have adventure of a lifetime in Indonesia

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

“Operation Wallacea was the greatest decision I ever made”.

Now for those of you who don’t know, Operation Wallacea or Opwall is an organisation dedicated to biological and conservation management research programmes all over the world. Our experience began in October of 2015 when Ms. Newton gave a presentation about this expedition and somehow roped five IB students into a two-week adventure.

Click here to view the Facebook photo album

Our location was on Buton Island, Indonesia, where we had one week of jungle research in a campsite called Bala, about a three hour trek from a village in Buton. The second week was spent on a marine site in a place called Bau Bau, about a two-hour drive from the village.

The beginning of the trip began when we landed with the smallest plane we’ve ever been on, fitting about 50 people, into Bau Bau airport on Buton Island, where airport security consisted of a man pushing a trolley of rucksacks from the plane to the small outbuilding, checking your luggage tag as you left through the door to the beautiful, hot island.

We all walked out to a line up of cars that looked like they were ready to take us to the start line of the Amazing Race! About two hours later we arrived at the village, where the activities began. We stayed the night in local village houses and ate traditional Indonesian food in their community centre.

The first activity of the expedition was Canopy Access, and this was definitely a favourite. It consisted climbing a strangler fig tree that was approximately 148 feet high, allowing us to see how 40% of all life on earth lives. A few of us were even able to swing off a branch at the top, literally as if we were flying 148 feet off the ground. Next was our trek to our jungle campsite. Thanks to a good night’s sleep in the local homes of the Indonesians, we were able to pull through an incredibly tiring trek to Bala.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

In Bala we had full schedules filled with things like jungle skills where we learnt how to survive in the jungle, if ever need be! It consisted of building a shelter for ourselves that was water resistant, creating booby traps to catch animals and cooking eggs on a fire that we created. Our days always also included surveying organisms such as reptiles, bats, butterflies and mammals.

Each was a similar process, where we would observe and look for certain types of endemic species of Buton and learning how to document them and what each spotting of them meant to the ecosystem. As for our evenings, they included washing up in the river, or if you were lucky you got the ‘mandis’, the Indonesian version of showers.

Each day was filled with tackling nature and in the process we developed a new type of sport ‘mud skiing’. This was when it had rained so heavily the day or night before, and all of the trails were filled with mud so in order to walk down, we needed to slide down each slope.

At the end of our active day, we would finish with an interesting lecture about tomorrow’s survey. One of the highlights of the Bala camp was the sleeping situation: Each of us fell asleep to the swaying of our hammocks within a covered tent.

As angelic as the Bala experience was, all things come to pass, and so did it. Fresh, clean and energetic, did we march out of Bala camp. We had all learnt a great deal and the innumerable laughs mixed with varying degrees of complaint drifted amongst us. This was the first week completed, and there seemed to be nothing to top it, for what could be a more unique experience than that?

The coming week had an expanse of experiences that none of us could have predicted. After arriving in our base camp and spending the night, we headed to the marine site in BauBau. It seemed a blessing after a week in the jungle, with functioning toilets, showers and air-conditioning. But Bala certainly had more character and exclusivity than an otherwise ordinary motel.

There, we met a great many researchers and budding marine biologists. It was a thoroughly fascinating experience, for some in our number learned to dive, whilst others honed their skills and developed skills intrinsic to marine surveyance.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

We struggle to recall a week that passed in a heartbeat, but what is unforgetable is the final night, where a gargantuan camp-fire was set up and lit, while local and international music played in the background, all this amidst party games and incessant chatter. Many of us, who are unlikely to ever meet again, bonded in this moment, and I believe it was a heartbreaking moment to leave the following day.

Six nonchalant faces packed into a car on our leaving day, but these same faces betrayed a great sombreness at having to leave Indonesia behind and face reality. Unfortunately, aptly sad music played in the background on our flight. Steep frowns and heavy hearts were carried away by a propellor plane, off into the sunset, but away from paradise.

IMG_2282-edited resized

We are delighted to announce the arrival of the brand new Cruzeiro Soccer Schools caps! These caps are an initiative between the BISP Business Academy and Cruzeiro Soccer Schools.

The caps were initially designed by the Year 12 IB Business Management students as part of their Marketing unit covering product design and branding. They were tasked with creating a new cap design for Cruzeiro Soccer Schools for the new upcoming season. After careful consideration by Cruzeiro, the winning design (designed by Sasha, Jessica, Olivia and Nitya) was chosen and passed to Year 10 IGCSE student Young Ho Min, who is also a Business Academy student.

IMG_2304-edited resized

He began sourcing overseas suppliers and negotiated with many until the right partner was chosen. He then embarked upon an incredible journey to China during the summer break and further negotiated with three suppliers to achieve the best deal. He worked with the manufacturer to ensure the design and quality were excellent and then returned to Phuket with the caps.

Cruzeiro Soccer Schools are delighted with how the caps have turned out, are proud to be able to collaborate with the BISP Business Academy on projects like this, and look forward to working on further, exciting projects in the future.

The caps are on sale for THB300. If you would like to purchase one, please see a member of the Cruzeiro Soccer Schools coaching team or email infobisp@cruzeirothailand.com

For more information on the Business Academy, please visit bisphuket.ac.th/business or contact Business Academy Director Tim Pearson: tpearson@bisphuket.ac.th

On Saturday 27 August, BISP Flying Fish had 23 swimmers participate in the annual 10 & Under Torwai swimming championships. Many of our swimmers had just come back from a long summer holiday but proved they had been inspired by the Rio Olympics.

Our young relay swimmers, including Bambi Khoopongsakom, Milla Chappel, Milly Marnell, Alfie Marnell, Egor Surkov Liam Massey and Justin Conrad, were fantastic and gave the Flying Fish team and parents plenty to cheer about.

Flying Fish were first in nearly every age group relay on some close finishes, and all swimmers who participated made the team proud. We also had at least eight team records broken (one for Micheal, one for Zac and five for Tegan) with a few more to be finalised once we receive the full results.

Thank you to the swimmers and parents for supporting this very early season event.

BISP student learns about radiology on two week internship at Phuket International Hospital

Siew1

BISP student Siew Hui Yap recently went to Phuket International Hospital for two weeks’  work experience, here is her report:

On my first day here, I admit that I’m a bit anxious about this whole hospital work experience. For one, I have never been on an internship before, so it concerns and thrills me at the same time to know that I’m about to experience something different.

My supervisor, Khun Em, who’s in charge of allocating me into my respective department in the hospital, shows great hospitality. She’s soft-spoken and is extremely helpful in easing me into the environment.

She explained the whole structure of Phuket International Hospital, and even took the time to take me on a tour around the hospital. After showing me around, and introducing me to my seniors for the next few weeks, I felt a bit more relaxed.

Other than the administrator and the nurses working here, the radiologist is the doctor who analyses the X-rays for identification, diagnosis and treatment for many types of medical condition.

Whereas a radiology technologist is one to conduct the radiology scans for the patients. He has to know which body parts to scan when the doctor requests for a scan. For example: a scan for sinuses will require scanning the front of the face in order to locate the sinuses and so on.

In addition, I’ve also learned how to take an X-ray. Upon taking an X-ray photograph, the patient has to inhale a deep breath and hold as the medical staffs press the button and takes the photo. By doing this, the lungs will expand as the air enters the lungs, and a clearer view will show.

The radiology technologists were to contact the doctor immediately if they were to encounter any life-threatening injuries such as skull fracture, pneumothorax and broken ribcage. Fortunately, I have not seen any patients who have serious injuries like the ones mentioned above.

As X-ray uses small amounts of radiation, the technologists are to stay in a closed room whenever an X-ray is conducted. With that being said, the level of radiation exposure is considered safe for adults, but not for a developing fetus. Pregnant ladies are suggested to use a different testing method such as an MRI instead.

I have also observed my first ultrasound. The doctor applied blue coloured gel on the patient. She then moved a device called a transducer over the patient’s body. The transducer sends out sound waves that bounce off the tissues in the body. And captures the waves that bounce back. The ultrasound machine then creates images from the sound waves. If water is present, black matter could be observed on the screen.

In some cases, contrast medias (also known as a contrast dye) were used before and after the test. However, it isn’t compulsory, but only upon the doctor’s request. The radiology technologists will give the patient as an injection, an edema, or a pill to swallow before the test.

I have the privilege to help out and observe a Lower GI Test to examine the digestive tract. I had to wear heavy blue suits, neck covers and lab glasses that protect me from the radiation.

The patient had to drink the barium sulphate liquid (pink) we’ve prepared for the test. As the liquid passes through the lower intestines, it fills the colon and allows the radiologist to see growths and areas that are narrowed. And what’s fascinating is that, we could see the colour agent showed up in black on the monitor screen.

As the patient sips the liquid through a straw, the liquid could clearly be seen, going down the oesophagus and filling up the stomach before moving to the colon. I think observing a test this close up and wearing ridiculous looking anti-radiation clothes made this particular experience more worthwhile.

Albeit coming here as a radiology intern, I had two chances whereby I worked alongside my seniors as a Chinese translator. One was a patient who sprained her ankle. And multiple X-ray photographs were taken at different angles of the targeted area to provide an overall view of the injury. For example, this patient injured her ankle, therefore the front view and the side view of the ankle have to be scanned.

My second opportunity in translating was a patient about to go in for her CT scan. I explained to the Chinese patient about her test and the medical procedures. I also informed her about the contrast media she’s going to receive slowly after her first scan and the side effects like rashes or itchiness that might occur. And that she might feel a bit hot. Metals and jewellery were taken off as these objects would affect the accuracy of the photograph.

The Chinese patient had the CT scan conducted on her neck and she had to take the test at least twice, which was before and after injecting the contrast-media, also known as a colour media that shows the presence of the blood vessels.

Khun Jeab, the Head of Radiology Department, showed me the difference between before injecting the media and after injecting the media. I could see the presence of the blood vessels in white after the injection. It was my first time observing a CT scan and it was really an eye-opener.

It is very important to disinfect the medical equipment that was previously used by the patients. He cleaned the X-ray equipment with disinfectant wipes to ensure that any potential diseases carried by the previous patient would not have a chance to spread onto the next patient. As medical staffs, we’re also required to clean our hands thoroughly with hand sanitizers.

These gestures dawned on me that it’s vital to always be thoughtful towards our patients, which is to ensure that they receive polite treatments and also a clean environment where they can receive their medical treatment.

Working in the radiology department is no easy task. The technologists here have to work repetitively long hours, ranging from 8 to 18 hours a day. They don’t show their exhaustion while they tend to their patients.

One thing I’ve realized from my seniors here is that their passion for their job somehow drives them through their everyday routine, be it conducting an X-ray of the patients, or communicating with the patients, they’re very patient and they always carry a smile on their faces. I could feel that they really care about their patients’ welfare, and that they really hold responsibility in their job.

In a nutshell, I have learned more than what I have expected. Not only had I gotten close with people who don’t share the same language, I am also touched by the warm welcome I have received by my temporary colleagues. What’s important is that, I’ve learned more about myself and where my interests might lie.

Thank you to Phuket International Hospital, Khun Em and all the medical staffs in the Radiology Department who are constantly sacrificing themselves for the welfare of others. The world needs more people like you guys. I hope that I would be able to return for another internship as enjoyable as this!

BISP student Mark (Vanchai Luangnitikul) recently took fifth place at the golf Teen World Championship 2016, held 28 to 30 July at the famous Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina, United States, heralded as the ‘cradle of American golf’.

Run by the U.S. Kids Golf Foundation, the 2016 U.S. Kids Golf Teen World Championship showcased over 600 players from more than 40 nations – including countries as diverse as Indonesia, New Zealand, Zimbabwe and Thailand. Now in its 11th year, the Teen World Championship serves as an aspirational goal for teenage golfers across the world.

With a three round total of 216, Mark tied for fifth place, a strong performance following a string of impressive results in national and international golf tournaments over the last year, and intensive training under BISP Golf Academy Head Coach Oliver Bates at the new BISP Golf Centre, which was opened by Sir Nick Faldo on 10 March.

Before the Teen World Championship 2016, Mark competed at the 18 to 21 July Enagic Junior Championship, run by the American Junior Golf Association, where he scored 207 over three rounds, to come second.

BISP student Napat ‘Toy’ Paramacharoenroj (above centre) recovered brilliantly from a nightmare start to claim victory in the inaugural Faldo Series Thailand Championship – South 2016, held 8-11 September 2016.

One of the pre-tournament favourites, Toy, a 15-year-old two-handicapper and member of the BISP Golf Academy at British International School, Phuket (BISP), ran up a triple-bogey seven on the opening hole followed by a bogey-four at the short second in the first round at Laguna Golf Phuket.

Displaying commendable skill and mental strength, Toy then proceeded to play the remaining 52 holes in 12-under-par.

Bouncing back from his early disaster, he signed for an even-par 71 in the first round of what was the ninth leg of the record-breaking 2016-17 Faldo Series Asia season.

He followed that with a 68 on day two before closing out the tournament with a stylish 66, the low round of the tournament which attracted entries from all over Thailand, India, Malaysia and Singapore.

With a three-day aggregate of eight-under 205, Toy topped the leaderboard in the Boys’ Under-16 category. He also led the way in the overall standings in the R&A World Amateur Golf Ranking event, earning himself an exemption into the forth-coming Singha Phuket Open at Laguna Golf Phuket, part of the All Thailand Golf Tour.

This year marked the first time that Thailand has hosted two Faldo Series Asia qualifiers with Putt Sridama triumphing in the Faldo Series Thailand Championship – North at Watermill Golf and Gardens in May.

Putt will now be joined by Toy in the 11th Faldo Series Asia Grand Final, to be hosted by Sir Nick Faldo at Laguna Lăng Cô in Danang, Central Vietnam, in March, 2017.

BISP Golf Academy Head Coach Oliver Bates said, “As part of the BISP Golf Academy, Toy is almost on a professional-level training regime, combining his studies with three hours practice per day during the week, and then playing on the course all weekend.

“At the Faldo Series tournament at Laguna, Toy showed great mental strength as well as great ability, quickly moving past the triple bogey on the first hole, and a bogey on the next, to birdie the next hole – he never looked back from that point.

Toy agreed, “After the first two holes, I was not thinking about what had just happened, as there were another 52 holes to make birdie – and I did on the third. The next shot is all that matters, and every day I got better.”

Supported by The R&A and endorsed by the Asian Tour and the Asia Pacific Golf Confederation, the 2016-17 Faldo Series Asia campaign stretches over 11 months.

As well as two events in China, India and Thailand, championships will be staged in Australia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Chinese-Taipei, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Ja-pan, Malaysia, Nepal, New Zealand, Pakistan, The Philippines, Singapore and Vietnam.

Recognised as the only global amateur series for boys and girls, the Faldo Series was established in 1996, expanding to Asia in 2006.

Today, 40 Faldo Series tournaments take place in 30-plus countries worldwide, touching more than 7,000 golfers each year. Past winners include Tseng Yani and Rory McIlroy, both multiple Major winners.

Phuket Town – Toyota Ranking Event – Under 10, 12, 14 & 18 Boys & Girls:

Held over 2 days, sat 10th & sun 11th September saw 8 BISP/RPT Tennis players competing.

Results are below:

Chathu Nilaweera:

11 year old Chathu played both the 12 & 14 & Under events, after relatively easy rounds in both events Chathu met with one of Thailands top players in the semi finals of the Under 14 event in Knot.  Having lost to Knot in a previous encounter 6 months ago Chathu has improved and learnt the way to overcome such players, this time round was a different story with Chathu coming out with an 8-5 victory.  In the final of the 14 & Under event Chathu was playing his 5th match of the day and it was just too much, eventually losing 8-4.  The 12 & Under final was a different story with Chathu winning easily 8-2 against Farouk.

Vichi Nilaweera & Anzac:

Both players took part in the 10 & Under event which saw both reach the final to face each other.  Vichi came out on top with a 8-4 victory.  Its a great to have 2 of Thailands top 10 & Under players at BISP.

Oshini:

Oshini took part in the Under 14 & 18 girls event.  Oshini became champion in the 14 & Under event winning a close final 9-7.  In the 18 & Under event, 13 year old Oshini did extremely well to reach the final before losing out 8-3 to her much older opponent.

Kevin Hansen:

14 year old Kevin was competing in the 16 & 18 & Under events.  In the 16 & Under event Kevin won his quarter final 8-1 to reach the semi final.  In the 18 & Under event Kevin was very impressive with an 8-0 victory in the last 16 against the NO.4 seed.  The quarter final saw Kevin up against the No.1 seed in the 18s and whilst ahead 6-4 Kevin overcame an injury to his right arm to eventually win 9-8 on a tie breaker.  Due to this injury unfortunately Kevin had to pull out of both the 16 & 18 & Under semi finals and settle for 3rd place in both.

Turquoise:

Turquoise took part in the 18 & Under event and took an impressive 3rd place.

Jazzmin Conrad/Hugo Matsui/Hayden Chakrabandhu:

All were taking part in this event to gain some valuable match experience.  All players lost in close matches and have shown much improvement and also that they are capable of competing at this level.  Oshini & Vichi lost a close doubles final against Chathu & Hayden 6-3.

*****

BISP RPT Tennis Academy Head Coach Lee Austrin says, “Well done to all the players and also all the coaches that have been working extremely hard to help improve our players.  BISP tennis is clearly on the way up and we are all very excited for the future of our players.”

Last weekend, Rawai House put the board in boarding.

The group of beginners started by getting rides with the pros and then they were challenged to do it on their own. Wakeboarding can be difficult for newbies and many starts never made it past 10 feet but by the end almost all of them were doing laps. Lots of smiling faces and students clambering to try it again.

Thank you Anthem Wakepark for being great hosts to our junior boarders.

By Drama Teacher Tim Evans

Sometimes a moment is captured by a photo.

My IG Drama students are considering what to do with a photograph as a stimulus. A starting point.

They asked for books with photos. I gave them The Journals of Dan Eldon. Dan was at the International School of Nairobi. He graduated and became a photojournalist. On the last day of his life he walked into a bombed village in Somalia. And was stoned to death.

I think this photo moment in the drama room captures us reflecting on all of that, looking at his life’s work and wondering what the heck we can do.

If the devising group can connect with Dan Eldon on stage  then it will be more than just an IG Drama exam.
