Clubs High School
The Book Club
The Book Club aims to inspire students to explore the world of literature while building a vibrant, book-loving community at Concordian. This semester, we hosted three exciting events: a World Mental Health Day activity focused on books that promote self-care, a Halloween-themed book display that sparked creativity, and the Willy Wonka Ticket Hunt, where students eagerly searched the library for golden tickets, making it a huge success. Looking ahead, we plan to organize even more engaging events in collaboration with the library team, bringing literature to life through creative activities.

, where we made cake pops, and collaborated with SISB at
Additionally, we worked with Kindergarten Smiles to bake cookies, which they donated to those in need. Looking ahead, Food for All will focus on cooking our own meals and expanding our impact. Expect more activities and collaborations to bring smiles and nourishment to even more communities!

Focus First
Focus First is a peer mentorship program initiative for visually impaired students in Thailand. Hosted in different subject areas, including the natural sciences and music, by Concordian High school students who specialize in each focus, the program aims to bridge the gap between education accessibility and visual impairment through a teach–share–hands-on approach.
This semester, we organized an outing run at the Bangkok School for the Blind under the Royal patronage of H.M. the Queen from November to December of 2024. During each session, our students engaged in an exchange of knowledge and experiences with the primary to secondary school students at the Bangkok School for the Blind, leading them through various hands-on activities that appealed to their sense of touch, and in the case of music, their sense of hearing as well.
Guided by a carefully curated, student-designed ‘curriculum’, the visually impaired students in collaboration with our Concordian club members conducted science experiments, tested out different art mediums, and produced music from different instruments. Next semester, we plan to expand our program to establish a more interconnected system of schools, as well as continue our commitment to the students at the Bangkok School for the Blind.

Kindergarten Smiles
Kindergarten Smiles is a student-driven initiative dedicated to improving the well-being of underprivileged kindergarteners.
In Kindergarten Smiles, our role is to empower young students by volunteering, fundraising, and most importantly, creating and donating essential educational materials to enhance their growth. In the first semester, we have volunteered at two different kindergartens, donating 40+ coloring books in total (which we also completed this semester), and hosting different activities– such as musical chairs, red light green light, and more–that allowed students to develop motor skills.
For the next semester, we hope to create even more educational materials, and host fundraising events outside of school to raise funds and awareness for this community. Through these efforts, we aim to continue fostering creativity, supporting learning, and building a brighter future for all kindergarteners.

Marine Nautical
Marine Nautical, a service club established this school year, aims to help existing organizations with the restoration of coral through coral gardening, which can help rehabilitate damaged coral reefs. In the first semester, our club visited Ko Si Chang, Chon Buri, and the “Ko Si Chang Marine Animal Bank Learning Center Under Royal Patronage”
We learned about the different types of coral in the Ko Si Chang area, along with the dangers that global warming poses to the marine ecosystem. We also had the chance to repopulate coral through coral planting, which is done in the nursery tank at the center. Furthermore, we molded pots made from crushed seashells for coral planting and painted sculptures made from the same crushed seashell material. We also brought back some sculptures from the center and opened a booth during the Festival of Love 2024, further raising awareness in the Concordian community.
In the coming semester, we plan to bring our club members on a snorkeling trip to the same marine center, allowing us to see firsthand the process of coral restoration in the ocean.

Tunes of Trust
Tunes of Trust is a fundraising club with a mission to support retirement homes and institutions for the elderly through music. Every cycle, we organize a student-led street performance-style musical showcase in the lobby, featuring individual, group, and instrumental performers to attract donations from the Concordian community for a particular organization in need.
Seed of Hope
The Seed of Hope Club is a student-led initiative dedicated to environmental conservation, sustainability, and fostering community engagement. The club brings together passionate students who aim to impact the environment through hands-on activities, education, and collaboration with local communities.
This semester, the Seed of Hope Club held a trip to Bang Pu Recreation Center, a coastal mangrove conservation hub in Samut Prakan Province. At Bang Pu, students witnessed firsthand how local collaboration between the Royal Thai Army, NGOs like WWF Thailand, and corporate partners has preserved one of the mangrove forests. Club members learned how habitat restoration, educational programs, and youth camps foster collective responsibility for Thailand's ecosystem.
Additionally, we also learned to make fertilizer balls, which uses a binding agent, molasses, with yeast and water to create a sticky paste to bind compost and soil. We then form this mixture into balls to ensure easy dispersal across large or hard-to-reach areas. When thrown, these fertilizer balls will promote plant growth throughout large areas.
Next semester, Seed of Hope will expand beyond mangroves and wetlands to explore diverse ecosystems around Bangkok and nearby locations.
Jasmine, G12, President
Towards the end of November 2024, the club organized our second in-school charity showcase with over 16 performances to raise funds for
, a non-profit nursing home in the Samut Prakan area. Featuring covers of well known pop tracks like “Lovefool” by the Cardigans and “Birds of a Feather” by Billie Eilish, to a piano run of Mozart’s Sonata No.16 in C major, Tunes of Trust raised over 10,000 baht for the nursing home.
Next semester, we will visit the home and organize a series of musical performances for the elderly living there, as well as donate the sum raised to fund their living costs. Tunes of Trust encourages the Concordian community to participate in our future performances, whether that be as a performer, audience member, or donor.
