Early Years Songkran Ceremony

The EY Songkran Ceremony in this school year was the first time for nearly all of the students as we didn’t have this event for about 3 years.

K3 representative students were outstanding while presenting the significance of Songkran. The students learned about Thai culture through this meaningful ceremony. After that they all had a great time with Songkran water play. Everyone was excited and had a fantastic time!!!

PY Songkran Celebration 2023

This year the PY students participated in the watering ceremonies that were held in the Grand Theater in the morning. We also had the Riak Kwan Ceremony for G5 students and a water-pouring Ceremony for all students. During the ceremony, many PY students demonstrated and showed their talent for beautiful Thai dance and Thai classical music during the ceremony.

Then in the afternoon, everyone enjoyed the water activities together at the mini soccer field and cooled down with ice-cream at the end of the day. It is absolutely great to have the celebration of Songkran back to see everyone have had such a blast getting each other wet.

The Legend of Siam Songkran in the Secondary school

After 3 years of Covid restrictions, we have finally been able to resume our regular Songkran celebrations at school. To celebrate a return to semi-normalcy, the Thai Department put together an elegant performance celebrating the many beautiful and diverse aspects of Thai Culture. From the graceful beauty of the Nang Songkran procession to the powerful and controlled strength of the Muay Thai demonstration, we got to experience the width and depth of our culture through performances which represented each region of Thailand.

Students also received blessings from their teachers, this was also a good opportunity for students in Grade 12 to receive their final blessing from their teachers before their exams and graduation. After the performance, we got to enjoy the booths set up by the students, for example, stalls making traditional Thai amenities or booths serving foods like “Fried Pork with sticky rice” or and “Thai Herb refreshing drink” or

Overall, this year’s Songkran celebration is one of our best yet, with great performances and student-led activities.
