SPRING IS IN THE AIR

Mick Smith, Secondary Principal

staff his final analysis of the (I)GCSE results. These results are outstanding and testimony to the hard work of the students and the skill and guidance of their teachers. As you can see below they rank favourably alongside what were already record results from 2016 and 2017. The first ever results using the new 9-1 assessment framework in Art and PE were equally impressive.

At IB, we weren’t quite able to replicate our ‘only ever once’ 100% success rate at Diploma level from 2017.

However, we did get 98%, our average points score was the same at a Bangkok Patana record of 35 points (compared to a world average of 20), and two students achieved a maximum score of 45 points.

I

t’s hard to believe that we are now nearing the end of Week 4 of the new school year already. The first weeks of term are like the long summer holiday, beginning slowly and stretching out languorously into the distance.

Before long, it’s all systems go, classrooms and corridors are constant streams of movement and interaction. Almost imperceptibly the rhythm of Bangkok Patana life gathers momentum sweeping us irresistibly forward. Somewhere in the middle of the maelstrom our latest school arrivals, including 176 energetic and excited Year 7 students have already got their bearings and are beginning to really enjoy the ride. There is a feeling as the school closes in Term 3 that Patana is slowing down about to hibernate for winter.

To continue the metaphor, August/September is Patana springtime, the air buzzing with activity and opportunities.

As we start anew though, we also reflect on what we’ve achieved in the year just finished. I’m a little late with my congratulations, but this is my first opportunity to acknowledge in writing the superb academic results of our outgoing Graduating Class of 2018 and our new Year 12 students. Just yesterday, Dr Richard Lindley shared with

Right now Suzanne Lindley, Assistant Principal for Curriculum and Assessment, is meeting with all subject and faculty leaders and with Andy Roff, IB Coordinator (for IB results) to analyse the results in minute detail to inform future learning. We look at whether students have scored better or worse on average on each paper, whether internal assessment has been moderated up or down, and if so why, by the external examination boards. Where necessary we ask those Boards to justify their marking. We share all this with the teachers to inform their work with the next cohorts of students at (I)GCSE and IB. Our philosophy in the Secondary School centres on challenging and supporting all students to achieve their full potential. This isn’t only about academic achievement but we do recognise, and accept our responsibility to do all that we can to help everyone get the best set of final grades that they can. The analysis I refer to above is the final part of that each year. Other aspects focused on maximising individual attainment include: clear guidance on the most appropriate subjects for each student to study, ongoing academic mentoring with their tutor, tracking of current performance at each report compared to target grades (generated using CEM test predictive data), work review meetings and where necessary specific interventions for individuals and their families. All this alongside working with our terrific teachers of course!

This year as usual we have a number of specific targets as a Secondary School across different aspects of school life. What brings them all together is a focus on the ‘3 Cs of Challenge, Consistency and Communication’. The key word here for parents is communication as we are looking to meet with you more to better inform you about all that

INSPIRED BY SCIENCE

Carly Peart, Leader of Learning and Curriculum, Year 6

O

ver the first few weeks of the new school year, Year 6 have been busy revisiting their scientific understanding whilst brushing up their skills. The excitement of getting back into the Science lab has only been beaten by putting on their white lab coats and safety goggles!

In their lessons, the students have focused on making detailed observations and measurements, as well as learning how to construct a hypothesis and prediction. This involved some particularly fun observations involving frozen hands and food dye! The next step will be focusing on planning and carrying out fair tests by discussing what is meant by independent, dependent and control variables. All of these skills underpin the various units of learning through-

out the year and provide the foundation for thorough investigative learning.

One particular school value that has clearly been evident throughout these lessons, has been that of ‘collaborative and confident communicators’. The students have been actively engaging in conversations both with their teachers and with each other, excitedly discussing their ideas and understanding. Inspired by Mr Verde’s Key Stage 2 assembly, many students have already started thinking how they can continue their Science explorations outside of the classroom. So be prepared to find your child at home conjuring up new and exciting ways to test their scientific limits and find out what’s possible!

CELEBRATING CPL

Lisa Steciuk, Assistant Leader of Outdoor Education and the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, attended the Award Leaders Weekend, here she tells us more:

L

ast weekend, both new and more experienced staff involved in delivering the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award headed off to train at the Wild Lodge in Khao Yai National park. The aim of the training weekend was to develop the skills needed to deliver Adventurous Journeys successfully, as well as share expertise and best practice ideas in what was a beautiful outdoor setting.

Over the two-days, staff attended sessions on navigation, camp craft, route planning, team building, first aid, cooking on a trangia and menu planning, all of which are skills essential to completing successful and safe expeditions. Our new cohort of Bronze Award students will, in turn, be taught these skills throughout the Wednesday and Thursday Bronze ECA sessions during Blocks 1 and 2.

The weekend culminated with the teachers completing a mini-Adventurous Journey of their own, using their newly developed navigation skills to successfully guide them along a route plotted to Khao Ito reservoir followed by some canoe training on the lake itself.

STUDENTS SPEAK Gene Editing: A Cure For Muscular Dystrophy?

By Karnsiree (Ling Ling) Chen, Year 12 Scientists have used gene-editing to treat Duchenne Muscular Dystrophyn (DND) in large mammals with promising results that bring hope for the future.

The Disease Muscular Dystrophy leads to loss of muscle function and strength, eventually causing breathing complications and death. DMD is the most common fatal genetic disease in children: those born with it have a genetic mutation that makes them unable to produce dystrophin, which is vital for muscle strength and function.

How Gene Editing Works Using the Crispr gene-editing tool, scientists were able to restore dystrophin in four dogs that had a similar genetic defect to DMD patients, by making a strategic cut in the damaged DNA. Two harmless viruses were injected into the dogs to edit the genome of the dogs in the cells of the muscles and heart.

Results Within several weeks, the missing protein was restored in muscle tissue throughout the body, with a 92% correction in the heart and 58% in the main muscle essential for breathing: the diaphragm. This is significant as only a 15% improvement was necessary to be worth proceeding with the research.

“Children with DMD often die either because their heart loses the strength to pump or their diaphragm becomes too weak to breathe.” says Dr Eric Olson, one of the authors, from UT Southwestern, “This encouraging level of dystrophin expression would hopefully prevent that from happening.”

Richard Piercy, Professor of Comparative Neuromuscular Disease at the Royal Veterinary College, emphasised the importance of successful and effective trials on dogs as this is needed before moving onto humans.

Impact on the Medical Field This strategy of gene editing is different from others in that it efits the mutation that causes the disease, tackling the core of the issue, and restores expression of the correct amount of dystrophin. The findings contribute to a whole new view on how to tackle muscular dystrophy and hold promise for future developments.

Weekend Wandering With Pasawat (Tang Tae) Sakulpanich, Year 12

I’m sure everyone living in Bangkok is familiar with the many canals or “khlongs” which criss cross the city. Since the 18th century, the first man-made khlong was created and Bangkokians have lived alongside water ever since, earning the city the title “Venice of the East”, developing traditions such as Loy Krathong, Songkran festival and the various floating markets. The Chaopraya River snakes through Bangkok, intertwining its urban and ancient landscapes whilst temples such as Wat Arun and the Grand Palace appear against the stark skyline of downtown Bangkok beyond the meanders of the waterway.

First Stop: Make your first stop at the Khlong San Pier on the Chaopraya River. For BTS users, get off at

Saphan Taksin station and hop onto a long-tail boat from the connecting Sathon Pier for a breezy trip up river.

Second Stop: Hop off your boat at Klong San Pier and head into

The Jam Factory, a series of old factories which now house art pieces and bookstores. A central courtyard features a tall Bodhi tree, shading the entire area where bands play live music as you browse around the miscellaneous pieces. Make sure to visit the Candide Bookstore which holds a wide selection of books and drawing materials. You can even find the perfect piece of furniture in the Anyroom Store which also features quirky and well-designed pieces for your desk, such as a bird which holds your keys and envelopes or a beehive-shaped shelf. Check out The Jam Factory’s Facebook page to receive updates on their next Farmer’s Market which is ‘jam’ packed – get it?!– with delicious goodies and one-of-a-kind items ranging from hand-painted tote bags to curated rings and vintage fashion pieces.

Third Stop: No trip down the Chaopraya is complete without a visit to

Wat Arun (its shortened name in Thai), or the Temple of Dawn; accessible by the long tail boats as well. The 17th century temple encloses the iconic Khmer-style stupa which stands 80 meters tall and is decorated with China and capped with a beautiful crown where you can take the steep steps which lead to the balcony of the stupa itself. The temple became a royal temple when King Taksin founded a new capital – which is today’s Bangkok – after the collapse of Ayutthaya in 1767.

CATS CORNER

Tania Leyland, Youth Club and Community Services Coordinator

ANNUAL COMMUNITY ACTION (CAS/CAT) FAIR - THOUGHTS FROM THE STUDENTS...

“Our overall experience in the CAS/CAT fair was very fulfilling. The most noteworthy occurrence of the fair was that we, STOP, had the opportunity to meet a NGO, ‘Nightlife,’ who employ women who are victims of human trafficking. It was a pleasure to meet them and we look forward to getting to work with them.”

Omeesaha Kandlapelli - STOP “The students showed great enthusiasm whilst listening to

our aims and project for this year and were also very eager to help and get involved.”

Manintorn (Mars) Lomtakul - Interact “It was really wonderful that the Year 6s came down to the fair because it gave them the opportunity to get excited about joining clubs in Year 7. So many of them were genuinely interested in what our club did and I thought it was fantastic that they were being so engaged as early as Year 6.”

Henry Broasnahan - Spectrum “Here’s a short anecdote from when a Year 6 came to our stall which really made my day. We had a jar filled with two colours of sweets, to show that 50% of Thai children finish high school, and the other 50% don’t. After I said this, the Year 6 looks at me and said, “Maybe we can just

invite them to our school!” I tried explaining that the families don’t have the money to pay for such a school and he said “Well, maybe if I give him some of mine he can come.” It was amazing to see a student already wanting to make a change in someone’s life at such a young age and who seemed so determined to find a solution to such a grave problem. It really brought a smile to my face!”

Clara Boucher - One For One

“It was a huge success and many students that signed up during the fair actually turned up to our meeting today and appeared actively engaged. We look forward to accomplishing our goals and projects with a much larger and active team this year.”

Jing-Wen Weng - WFP “We were all pleasantly surprised by the willingness and engagement by younger students. As a new CAT club it was great to see so many students and teachers supporting our cause.”

Thanya (Safi) Siamwalla - Neverland “The CAT/CAS fair was a huge success for Project Star.

During the fair, we introduced our new projects: donating prosthetic limbs and setting up a multisensory room at Camillian home. We were inspired to see an incredible number of students who are passionate about helping disabled kids just like all of us here at Project Star. Over the course of the fair, we managed to recruit an astonishing 150 new members. I hope to see all of our new members on Monday in Mr Staley’s Room (SEC 202) at 12:40.”

#99 A Useful Little Tool

H

at-tip to Secondary Science teacher, Adrian Palmer for passing this one on to me. A very simple and handy website I recommend you bookmark is https://smallpdf.com/. After a quick sign up you can do a myriad of things with PDF documents that you would otherwise have to pay a lot of money for in the high end version of Adobe Pro. PDF files are the most device-friendly format for attachments and are universally accepted these days. Take a look for yourself.

Many thanks to those parents that could make the Tech Talk on Wednesday. Some great conversation and food for thought on how we and our children navigate through our digital diet. The resources mentioned at the meeting can be found here: https://padlet.com/ brta/sofomjwo9fa1. Perhaps you can make our next meeting on the 3rd October, 8:00am in the PTG Meeting Room.

Have a great weekend.

LOCKDOWN AND FIRE DRILL PROCEDURE

B

angkok Patana School takes the safety of our school community very seriously. We have a management team that meet and discuss many different crisis scenarios and we have processes and procedures in place for these. We have strong links with the local police and the various embassies who alert us to any security concerns and also visit our school to review our existing procedures and provide advice on security measures.

One of the areas that we practise regularly throughout the year is the Fire Evacuation and Lockdown procedures. In Term 1 and 2, we have ‘announced’ and ‘unannounced’ drills. This enables our community to practise reacting appropriately in the event of an alarm sounding on the school campus.

PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION BELOW CAREFULLY SO YOU ARE AWARE OF OUR PROCEDURES SHOULD YOU BE ON CAMPUS WHEN AN ALARM SOUNDS. WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE ON THE SCHOOL CAMPUS WHEN AN ALARM SOUNDS Lockdown Alarm If you are on campus and hear the ‘lockdown’ alarm (similar to a siren), please follow instructions from nearby staff. If you are not in a building, please enter the nearest building and follow instructions from staff. In a lockdown, you should be out of sight until you hear three clear whistles from the security team or are instructed that it is all clear from a security guard or member of staff. You will not be allowed to enter or exit the campus during a lockdown.

Fire Alarm If you are on the school campus and hear a fire alarm please act immediately and follow the Evacuation Route sign to the nearest assembly point, (see example).

Please make sure that you report to the Zone Fire Point Person who will be wearing an emergency jacket and have radio communication. They will be located in the middle of the zone area and will take your name and tell you where you need to stand. There are seven zones – green, yellow, blue, white, red, purple and orange. Look for these signs when you are next in school to familiarise yourself with the evacuation routes.

If you are outside the school grounds during a Fire Evacuation please note that you will not be allowed entry into school until the all clear has been given. Please follow instructions from our Security team.

WHAT DOES THE FLASHING RED LIGHT MEAN? If you see a flashing red light on the wall or ceiling it means that an alarm has been activated somewhere in school. When the light is just flashing you do not need to do anything or leave the building but be on alert to listen for an audible alarm which will let you know what to do next. The activated alarm will be checked by the guards and if necessary the fire alarm or lock down alarm will then sound for you to respond to as normal. So you only need to respond if you hear the actual siren or if a guard or senior member of staff gives you instructions to follow. If it is a false alarm the flashing red light will stop shortly without any alarms sounding.

WHEN WILL THE ALARMS SOUND? Luckily anytime you may have heard the alarm it has been a drill only. We hold announced and unannounced Fire and Lockdown Drills throughout the year and these procedures are for the safety and protection of all students, staff and visitors. If you are on the school campus during the alarm sounding please help to set a good example to all students by responding quickly, remaining quiet during this time and following instructions from Senior Staff.

Many thanks for your cooperation.
