Celebrating Dragons
Our own Concordian Dragons’ achievements outside of school are numerous and impressive! They span sports, music, dance and art - it would take us many, many pages to include them all! That is why our Elementary School Flag Raising events and Secondary School Assemblies provide a wonderful opportunity for these achievements to be celebrated at school, surrounded by supportive and proud peers and teachers. Here, we feature just a taste of what some of our students have achieved recently in the fields of sport and the performing arts.

Thailand National Youth Team 2023
Phaak, Grade 7, was selected to be a Thailand National Youth Team swimmer and represented Thailand in the 45th SEA Age Group Competition, the biggest swimming event in Southeast Asia which was held in Indonesia in August 2023.
All the Southeast Asia swimmers were looking forward to this competition and finally Phaak secured the BRONZE MEDAL with a time of 32.84 seconds on the 50m Breaststroke becoming
the TOP-ranked swimmer in Thailand in his age group and the school’s first swimming medal in an international competition.
We extend our gratitude for the unwavering support from the school in all aspects, including teachers, coaches, management, and the entire Concordian community. We hope that Phaak’s accomplishment on the international stage will strengthen our Concordian Sports Community and cultivate an environment of excellence within our school.
