St. John Mary International School On its third year of operation
Seeds
When you go into the forest, you can count the number of trees there, but if you see a pile of seeds, you cannot count the number of trees that are from those seeds. -Ajarn SamaiThis school year, we chose the theme “Seeds� because we believe that we were able to produce lots of good seeds this year and that they will soon grow and become spectacular trees in the future. With the first high school graduation, the school has finally gained success in the goals and mission that it comprises of. This yearbook is the monument of the many successes this year and we will move on forward to help students grow to be successful anywhere in the world as they become so much more than seeds...but trees.

Message from the FOUNDER
I
t gives me great pleasure to introduce the third edition of the St. John Mary International School Yearbook to you: Pathways 2007. this volume represents many achievements since the opening of the school three years ago in august 2004, including the graduation of our first Grade 12 students, most of whom have successfully gained places in various prestigious universities. As you leaf through the pages of this book you will discover that St. John Mary International School is indeed a place where active learning occurs in an environment that not only places high academic expectations on the students but also nurtures then with care, security and fun. You will see that students engage in many activities, each of which is designed to not only bring out the best in the students academically but also to mould them into balanced and service-oriented citizens. Apart from the affordability of gaining an education at St. John Mary International School, what distinguishes it is the quality of its teaching and learning program. All administrators and teachers have been chosen on the basis of their experience and high and relevant qualifications. The administrators all have doctorates while the teachers have at least a Bachelor’s degree (many have a Master’s degree) with a major in their particular specialty. The teaching methodology employed at the school is a studentcentered approach, through which the students gain not only an understanding of each curriculum areas but also critical thinking and research skill. St. John Mary International School is proud of the quality of its teachers and their ability to help the students achieve their fullest potential. If you have made the decision to send you child or children to St. John Mary International School, I would like to congratulate you on your choice. If you have not made this decision yet, I would like to encourage you to give this school a warm consideration. To all of you I would like to extend a warm invitation to visit the school, talk to the administrators, chat with the teachers, observe the activities and enjoy the beautiful world-class environment. I know you will be impressed. I wish you all health, happiness and success.
Ajarn Samai Chinnapha Founder of St. John Mary International School

Message from the EXECUTIVE ADMINISTRATOR
T
o establish a school is a big task because it involves several factors, both internal and external. But with God’s grace the school is now in the end of the third year. There were problems in the first year which were solved with optimistic thinking and approach. In the second year, there were more problems but they were solved with the knowledge and support of the teachers and staff. There were even more problems in the third year but those problems too were overcome. I would like to compare our school to an airplane. In the first year the school took off with effort and energy. The school strived to keep and maintain the stability in the second year. In the third year the school was up to the stage where the pilot could put the plane in to autopilot and now we are flying in the air.
Our first graduates of Grade 12 have completed their requirements this year and they have been admitted into prestigious colleges and universities, both private and public. I believe that our school has a part in building up future physicians, engineers, academicians, lawyers, politicians, business men and women, etc. One day these students will come as alumni to and they will help to move the school to a higher level.

I hope that, after reading it, you will find that it is the School you would like your son or daughter to join. Therefore, I do hope that you will visit us and see the School in action. By watching our children at work and play, seeing our facilities, experiencing our positive and friendly atmosphere, you will be able to appreciate our many virtues. Our students’ development, both academic and social, is our highest priority. Each student is recognized as an individual. This year – the first in what will surely be a rich and rewarding history; with our first batch of Grade 12th students graduating and hold placement of many top Universities in Thailand and abroad. Saint John Mary International School has a strong sense of community. This is based on traditional, Christian family values, a care and concern for every individual and a belief in growing from childhood maturing to adulthood. Thus, students’ spiritual, moral and personal values are based on the School’s Christian ethos and traditions. The importance of good manners, self respect and consideration for others is continually reinforced, and learning of self discipline is a priority throughout the School. As you browse through the following pages, I hope you gain a feel for Saint John Mary International School which will encourage you to visit the School and learn more about us.

Message from from the FINANCIAL MANAGER
I
agree with the philosophy of our school’s founder, Ajarn Samai Chinnapha; his immortal philosophy is “We can count the number of seeds, but we cannot count the number of trees hidden inside them.” What possibly happens is that perfect seeds grow to become perfect trees; perfect trees can bear perfect fruits which are sweet and tasty. Children can be compared to the seeds as different kinds of fruits. We can count them while they are studying, playing, doing their activities, and so forth, but the things we cannot count is the uncountable value within them. We as adults are working amongst the students of SJMIS. We are like the green fingers that take care of them as the seeds of the ground to give them a prosperous future with our true love. I hope the values that are inside each student, with our true love, care, and understanding, will help them grow up to become perfect citizens of this Country and also within the global community. Be the best with who you are. Sincerely,
Mr. Anumart Dittphae School Lawyer and Financial Manager

Every Monday Becomes Yellow Day
A
s part of the celebration of His Majesty the King, everyone wears yellow on Monday with the King’s logo on the upper left corner of the shirt. The yellow signifies the color of the King and thus, you can see people everywhere in Thailand wearing yellow. It’s quite amusing to see all the students gathered in the cafeteria like a school of fish all swiming together in yellow. You could not even distinguish a teacher from a student. It is loyalty to the country that we wear yellow.
