Secondary School Update B

y the time you read this article, we will be in our second semester of school. The first semester was very busy and productive for our students and staff. All the Week Without Walls trips, as well as the School Build project will have been completed; please read the student articles about these events. The production of Oz was a huge success with Mr Clynt directing all the actors, Ms. Hysun conducting the music, Mr. Kim coaching the vocal performances, Mr. Eric, Mr. Jo, Mr. David and Ms. Veronica guiding our students to create the sets and the digital screen effects, as well as all the students who volunteered their time, effort, and talent to this event. Having been here for a while, I think it is easy to take for granted how well our students perform in all three languages of the school. I was reminded of that when I watched both the Middle and High School perform during the English Dramatic Readings and Chinese Speech contests. The students performed in English as well or better than native English speakers that I’ve taught in the past. And in a recent Chinese writing contest sponsored by the Chinese Embassy, our students dominated all the awards. Plus, our students quite often represent our school and themselves in Thai for local and national events. We ask a lot of our students and they consistently deliver on a regular basis.

No-Shave November

A

bout two dozen male teachers and administrators participated in this year's "No-Shave November" campaign to raise awareness about men's health issues by growing beards or moustaches during the month. The idea, which originated in Australia, is that not shaving for awhile tends to make people ask questions, and that can start good conversations about things like prostate cancer being the single most common sex-specific cancer diagnosis (even more common that breast cancer!), or that men tend to have The beginning of the second semester is a great higher rates of addiction to alcohol or other drugs time to go over your child’s First Semester Report. - so it is important to deal with stress in healthier All students will now have a complete set of grades ways. so you can see how well they are performing in all their subjects. Please take the time to celebrate Brief presentations were also made at both their successes and, if needed, help them reflect middle school and high school assemblies so on how they could improve on those subjects students would know about the campaign and where they may need some assistance.

Secondary School Clubs Update Aperture Club

A

perture club is Concordian's photography club. Even though many people may look over the importance of this club, photography contributes greatly to people’s lives as a time machine. Yes, a time machine. As perfectly articulated by Andy Warhol, “The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.” Photography captures the moment and allows the audience to relive one of the most intense soccer matches or the first day that their Chemistry IA finally works, for instance. For me, the most gratifying aspect of being a photographer for Aperture is helping students relive their school moments once they graduate. - Kib, Grade 12

I

agree that our club can be overlooked as the school often hires professional photographers to cover events and activities. However, I will always disagree that we should hide in our comfort zone instead of going out there and doing what we love. For me, it’s not that I think I can take better pictures than professionals do; it’s more like I want to capture the memory through my own lens. The feeling I dislike the most as a photographer is “I should have brought my camera with me”. Aperture club helps me get rid of that feeling by giving me a good reason to carry my camera around.

Cookbook Club

he goal of the club is to gather groups of people who are interested in cooking, baking and in doing community service. Despite the club’s goal, we had the first project “Food for Life”. Purpose of Food for Life is to cook, bake and share our homemade food to the orphanage kids. We created a food event called “Foodie week” by selling differents types of food and desserts for 4 days, two days of savory foods, and two days of desserts. We brainstormed, sketched the dishes, designed the packages, tried different recipes, and improved the them. After the design cycle, the club members gathered for training to learn how to cook and bake each dish. After that, we took pictures, created a social network platform to promoted our products and advertised Foodie Week by making announcements during assemblies. Hundreds of people ordered our products. In the end, the products were successfully delivered, we got good feedback and ended up raising 20,000 baht. After Foodie week we contacted the orphanage house and arranged a date and time to give out the food. The club members discussed the menu and practiced how to make it.

On the 17th of October, the club members baked 250 bake goods including cookies, chocolate cakes and doughnuts for the orphanage. On the 18th of October, the club went to the orphanage house to give out our baked goods. The club members danced and did activities with the kids. Seeing those kids being joyful, happy and enjoy our treats was one of the true happiness in our lives.

PRISM

C

oncordian’s PRISM club started out as a community project focused on LGBTQ+ awareness, and sprung into a full grown club two years later. The founding members Ang Ang, Kamlai, and A-bond wished to focus on something not done before, that was still impacting the Thai population.

Grin Green Club

W

e live in a society where people care more about convenience than the environment. Most students are busy studying, not noticing the plastic waste they produce each day. That is why we started a branch of Grin Green Organization at Concordian. Our mission is to decrease single plastic usage in Bangkok by raising awareness among Concordian students. In order for students to recognize their plastic waste production, we organized a beach cleanup at Bangsaen with Wells and Berkely International Schols. Our club members saw an unending trail of plastic straws, bags, and bottles along the beach. Most of which are microplastics, which can be extremely deadly as sea creatures can mistake them as plankton. We reflected on our single-use plastic consumption and helped spread awareness to locals at the beach. We were able to persuade university students, locals, and tourists to help us. It is our collective responsibility to care for the environment we live in. If you are fearful of being planetless, stop being an environmental parasite. We only have one world and one chance of changing things around. We must act now, and it starts with YOU.

- Khim, Grade 9

We chose to work on the LGBTQ+ topic because it is very well-known in Thailand but rarely addressed. LGBTQ+ teenagers suffer from existing gender stereotypes, sexism, and toxic masculinity. They are also at a much higher risk for bullying, harassment, violence, depression, and suicide. Despite all these risks, there is still significant confusion, misinformation, and rumors amongst the general public when it comes to LGBTQ+ individuals. The aim of this club is to spread awareness and knowledge about the LGBTQ+ community, hoping that it will help decrease bullying and stigma. We are also fundraising to donate money back to LGBTQ+ organisations. PRISM hopes to make all students at Concordian feel comfortable and accepted. - Ang Ang, Grade 10

High School Spirit Week D

uring this week high school students participated in a one-week scavenger hunt where students had to solve Math problems, unleash their inner Pokemon love (yay!) and to prove they are a united grade. Students are also required to send in a photo of the day. The best photo won the challenge and 3 points were given to the Monday - Character Day Hmm, what anime t-shirt should I wear? Ah yes, I shall winners. Here’s a recap of the prompts for each day: be invisible man. Winner: Grade 10

Tuesday - Wrong Era A day where Mr. Nathan quizzes himself by pointing out what time periods each student represents. There were dinosaurs from the prehistoric world, aliens from... we don’t know when…, สุภาพสตรี (gentlewomen) and สุภาพบุรุษ (gentlemen) from Siam, and hippies from the 60s. It was indeed very cool, but it could have been cooler if someone dressed up as Robespierre. Winner: Grade 10

Wednesday - Student Teacher Swap Do you want to be a principal? Get a wig and a big mischievous smile. How about a PHE teacher? Get a blue nylon shirt that says Concordian and some sporty gear. But the top ranked teacher to be dressed as in 2019 is Mr. Clynt. The black shirt, trousers, shoes, and socks seem to be very popular in school. But after all, you could be anyone because everyone is a teacher someway or another. Winner: Grade 11 & 12

Thursday - Fashion Disaster Kendall Jenner who? Gigi Hadid who? We do not think so! Everyone walked into the school fully dressed as high-end fashion models. But what a twist they all looked like when they came out of 2050. It seems more like a wrong era dress day than a Tuesday. There was fashion from the pre 2000 and just abominable goodness. If only Concordian was a fashion industry, we could have been the next fashion trend pioneers. Winner: Grade 10 15 CONCORDIAN IMPACT - ISSUE 27

Friday - Twin/Squad Day Two of you doubles the trouble. A whole squad makes one teacher want to bang their head with pots and pans. We were hoping to see some power-rangers but that’s ok. Instead we saw horrifying squads wearing white tees and blue jeans all over the place. We can guarantee that each grade has a squad! Anyway, it's a fun day where everyone belonged. Winner: Grade 10


Middle School Student Government Update: House Competitions

Secondary School Update

T

he Middle School Student Council is a group of students that are elected in middle school to be the voice of the students. We work together, each with separate roles, to make changes and organize events to make students happier and help improve school life. The roles we have are the officers, which consist of President Kyla, Vice President Angie, Secretary Eclair, Media Officers Grace and Dear, and Treasurer Man. The house competitions that MSSC organizes are very competitive and show great school spirit. The purpose of the house competitions are mostly to improve school and house spirit while providing students with opportunities for exercise, teamwork, and fun! This year our house competitions have been fun and full of sports in order to make the students happy. This is really important because we as IB students need to learn to be balanced - one of the IB learner profiles! While we study hard every day in our classes, the students get a chance to play sports with their friends. Exercise is very important, especially for kids, like the students in middle school. We have hosted 7 house competitions already this year and some full middle school house competitions. One memorable example from our house competition was the G6 basketball house competition. All the G6 kids looked like they had a lot of fun. The kids were competitive and played all the rounds to the fullest. The process in which these competitions are planned is that we will ask the grade 6-8 students about what they would like to do in the competitions. We get many requests for sports like dodgeball and basketball but we try to rotate what sports we play so that way everyone gets a chance to have their favorite sport featured in a house competition.

same from grade 6 to grade 8, so by grade 8 students in the houses are quite close. One specific example would be the G8 Vikings house because they always have a lot of spirit and really bond over playing sports together. It feels great to see hard work paying off when the students smile and say they have fun after spending hours organizing the competitions.

Sincerely, Kyla MSSC President

I’d like to thank the teachers that come to the house competitions because they come and cheer for their teams and help us take care of the students in their houses. The competitions have been The competitions have led to house team steadily getting better as the MSSC is members bonding. The houses stay the getting more used to planning them. The competitions like basketball and dodgeball have proved to be successful and people enjoy having little breaks between tiring lessons and exams to play and compete and have fun. That is the goal of our house competitions: to make school life more fun!

Thai Table Tennis Cadet Team D

uring their preparation, the boys trained hard: 3 times a days- morning, afternoon and night. This was the only way to help boost up the boys skills to a competitive level. The qualifying match took 4 days, from December 6-9th and the result was above our expectation. Man qualified as the A1 for the A team. He performed super well by losing to only 1 player from the 14 total players who passed to the second round. Mon is the B1 for the B team, winning to over 9 players and losing to only 4 players. Most of the time, the A and B team players are also responsible for playing in overseas matches like the World Cadet tournament. Our family would like to thank you all for their achievement. Without your kind understanding and support, they would not have been able to make it. - K. Angie (Parent)

So you think you can dance? O

Once again, the competition was intense, which means the scores were extremely close. Our MYP dance group received fourth place. In PYP, the Red Ribbon dance group received second place and our other PYP dance group got third place. Congratulations, girls! You did a fantastic job and we are all proud of you. You represented Concordian so well. Ms. Lindsay

Oz 2019

CONCORDIAN IMPACT - ISSUE 27

When Dr. James asked if I would write about the musical production of OZ, I realized I wanted to hone in on something specific and meaningful rather than a traditional review or extending further praise to cast and crew – though richly deserved! Dorothy lives in a place that many people would be loath to call home. The Kansas prairie is vast and monochromatic, with dangerous cyclones and an absence of color and beauty. Oz, by contrast, is stunningly gorgeous and fantastical. It is peopled with strange folk, a marvelous emerald city, and verdant fields of flowers and miles of healthy farmland, deep forests, and adventures galore. Most of its inhabitants are cheerful, helpful, and virtuous. It seems strange that Dorothy would want to leave this land for her home. However, the importance of realizing the significance of one's roots prevails. Dorothy never questions her return. She is from Kansas, which she repeats in our adaptation of the script several times; her guardians are there, and she has duties to fulfill. She finds much to love about Oz but knows it is not where she belongs.

Secondary School Loy Krathong

F

or this year’s Loy Kratong, the Thai department repeated last year’s activity: a competitive Krathong Race. The competition was done by homeroom and involved us making krathongs out of recycled materials big enough that a classmate could sit on top of it and be pulled by other classmates. We were judged on speed and aesthetics. To prepare for this competition we reflected back to last year to see what we did right and what we could improve. We ended up making a raft with around 100 plastic bottles and tape. To decorate it, we cut out painted recycled future boards that looked like flowers and leaves. We’d like to say that the red, orange and yellow flowers won the judges hearts and the freshly cut green leaves were great touch on the krathong. Almost everyone in our class participated and the race was so fun! We would like to thank the Thai department for hosting this activity, it really helped us bond with classmates and enjoy loying the krathong as a family. Happy Loy Krathong 2019!

Moon Festival O

n September 13th, teachers, parents, and students gathered in the Food Technology room of Concordian International School to celebrate the Chinese Moon Festival. This celebration of family and happiness, known in China as 中秋节, is one of the largest festivals in Mainland China and East Asia. To celebrate this fun festival, students and Chinese teachers of Concordian International School cooked the traditional food of 中 秋节. We made moon cake, also known as 月饼 which is a sweet pastry made from wheat or rice flour, sugar, and seed paste to give it flavor and texture. Each student followed the Chinese teachers' recipe to make their own designs and gave it to their teachers and parents. Everyone had a very enjoyable time! Angie, Grade 12

English Language Learning (ELS) and Subject Co-teaching Workshop I

n an effort to better support students’ English language development, Concordian has implemented the ELS and subject co-teaching model in secondary school since 2018 and received very positive feedback from the faculty and students. Dr. Virginia Rojas, the founder of the model, was invited to conduct an in-school workshop specifically aiming to increase team collaboration between ELS and subject teachers on November 13-14, 2019. Thirty one participants from Concordian including ELS teachers, subject teachers and administrators worked closely with Dr. Rojas during the two days inquiring into varied theories, pedagogies and strategies on how teachers can effectively support multilingual learners through the integration of ELS and subjects.

oncordian successfully held the third Chinese exchange program with the No. 2 High School of East China Normal University (ECNU) in Shanghai, China Oct 13-26, 2019. The No. 2 High School is one of the top high schools in Shanghai, famous for its science program, great facilities, and most selective students nationwide. Thirty grade 9 Concordian students had the opportunity to study with Chinese students in subject classes, attend a daily Chinese cultural class, explore Shanghai on weekends, and showcase Thai cultural performances. Gail: Everything was different from what I'm used to back in Bangkok. It gave me a chance to experience a new culture, meet new people and go to new places I've never explored. The first day there it was awkward, sitting alone in class and not knowing anyone. But with a warm welcome, by my buddy made me feel like I was home. Studying abroad allowed me to explore a different academic system. It amazed me how fast students learned everything in Chinese - I had to be more productive! These two weeks in Shanghai shaped me into a better person and got me out of my comfort zone. Just apply for it! You won't regret it because it's once a lifetime experience that will change you for the rest of your life.

Poon: Those two weeks we spent in Shanghai were one of the best two weeks of my life. The first few days were the most confusing. I was lost, figuratively and literally. Everything seemed so much bigger and it felt like what I could see there was only a small part of the whole picture. Everyone I met was kind enough to help guide me through the first week. It really was an experience that I will never forget. I miss everyone there greatly and hope that we will meet again soon. Jenny: I had so much fun and learned many new things. After a number of days, I was able to adapt to the dorm life in a foreign country. It felt like I lived there for years, if I have to be honest. I had so much fun with my Concordian friends and also with my new friends I made along the way. With activities such as making tea, playing ping pong, painting on fans, etc‌ it was very fun and interesting to learn Chinese culture and I would do it again if I had the opportunity to do so. What I learned from this experience is that as things may look so intimidating, you may just be overthinking and just take your life easy and everything will be alright.


Activities & Events

Hui Hui: I must admit that the first day was not easy. I was unable to understand the flood of spoken Chinese. I felt awkward and lonely. My first impression was how eager the students were to participate in class, competing to be the first to answer every question. After the first period, the Chinese students rearranged the desks and I was sitting in the middle of the classroom. With their enthusiasm, we quickly bonded. The intercultural differences amazed me and I could only smile at their responses. For future participants in this program, don’t be shy and go for it.

Jean: On the first day at the school in Shanghai I was nervous and scared that they would discriminate against us because of nationality difference but they didn’t. It was fun, learning, laughing, experiencing a new

Khaojao: All their subjects and classes happen in one room, each class only lasts 30-40 minutes, they have 10-minute breaks between every class, and their lunch lasts one and a half hours! Their learning programs are also based around lots of note-taking / listening, very frequent tests and presentations, and a lot of homework. We also went on trips to other places in Shanghai, such as the Oriental Pearl Tower, and even went outside of Shanghai to Suzhou. The views from the top of the mountains were breathtaking and, in a way, very soothing. Additionally, I made lots of new friends, some of which I am still chatting with on Wechat frequently. It is going to be the experience of your lifetime. Even if you don’t think you’re fluent in speaking Chinese, language will not be a barrier for communication, since the human heart can speak for itself through your actions.

Everyone there is very friendly and it is a good opportunity to experience education in a different part of the world.

Elim, G12 In my essay, I incorporated ideas from a classic Chinese essay that I learned in Chinese class called “Bei Ying” by Zhu Zi Qing. My essay is called “Wo Ba Ba De Bei Ying”, which translates as “My father’s shadow”. Through my essay, I expressed my feelings about the passing of time, watching my father’s shadow get small as I grew older. As a result of this competition, I was able to receive an excellence award and have my essay published in a book. It was a valuable experience that can only be experienced once in a lifetime. Brim, G9 Through this experience, I got a chance to write an essay to display in a book. I also got the chance to see many students who are skilled in Chinese show their work. I not only got a chance to further develop and practice my Chinese writing skills but also got to interpret how other students write wonderful essays. Khaojao, G9 “The Embassy Cup Chinese writing competition” was quite a surprise to me; I didn’t expect for my essay to get an award. My teacher asked me to re-write this essay many times.

Overall, It was an enjoyable experience, and I hope I can join it again next year!

Chinese Speech Contest O

n the 7th of November 2019, we participated in the annual Chinese speech contest. The contest was a great chance to practice public speaking in front of a live audience, an essential skill in life. This year, the venue was moved from the Amphitheatre to the Grand theatre, which made the setting more formal and allowed a larger crowd to watch. In addition to writing and memorizing the scripts we had to rehearse movements, expressions, tone, and intonation in order to make the speeches interesting for the audience and judges. Participating in this competition allowed me to showcase and develop the ATL communication skills, which allowed me to talk to a large audience and convey a clear message to them. Speaking on stage was nerve-racking as two of the three judges were not from our school. However, we all pushed forward and did what we rehearsed, which yielded good results and a successful event. All efforts paid off as we received the opportunity to participate and take part in a fantastic and valuable experience. Nicky, Grade 10 (Chinese Speech Competitor)
