Student Life and Service

Middle School Service

Hello, we are Dol, Stanley, Tri, Grace, and Vinnie from G6I. During the second semester, our service project focused on Quality Education. Before our service action, we learned about the situation of deaf students in a school. We also found out that they had a really hard time doing normal things, like communicating. Moreover, we discovered that they didn’t have many esources to improve the quality of their education, so we wanted to help them.

For our action, we decided to visit the school to see the students’ situation firsthand and interview a teacher to learn more about life as a deaf student. We also bought resources like food and water for them. After this action, we reflected on what we did and what else regular people can do. We realized that we could give donations to the school to fund improvements. We could also support the school on social media platforms like Facebook.

Greetings! We are Kao, Jimmy, Icon, Putney, and Marwin from Grade 8, and during the second semester, our service project focused on ‘Quality Education and Good health and Well Being’. Before our service action, we learnt that the community that we are designated to help needs the enjoyment of music, to help brighten the mood.

For our action we decided to go play music at a homeless children orphanage in Bangkok. We practiced a total of 3 songs to play for the children. Furthermore, we also allowed the childrens to come join us and sing along, plus handing out varieties of snacks to the childrens. After this action we have concluded that performing this act of service to the childrens at the orphanage had led us to a more positive mindset of being able to help the community.

Hello everyone we are the Exercise Group from Grade 7: En-laye, Tee, Lens, Dean and Ryu. During the second semester, our service project focused on the SDG number 3 which is Good Health and Well-being. Before our action, we found a community that needed help with teaching special needs children.

For our action, we went to their community, and brought exercise equipment to teach them about sports and exercise, so that they could improve their health. After this, we felt that we have helped them learn a lot about being healthy, so we felt very good that we have helped them this time.

Good morning or good afternoon or good night, depending on where you are and the time. We are Leo, Mungbean, Hakao, Kan, Ren and Pipo from G7, and during the second semester, our service project focused on reduced inequalities and quality education. Before our service action, we learnt about our service target, which was a school teaching children with learning disabilities, and inquired upon their desires and where they were required. They asked for Braille coded books supporting their ability to read books by feeling the bumps upon the page and interpreting it in their own way. We sympathized with them deeply, knowing the limitations of sight upon one’s educational journey. We also figured out if we were to create and illustrate Braille code it would benefit the visually impaired children a lot.

For our action we created and edited a middleschool textbook with information regarding the range of subjects that we learn in Concordian. After this action we learnt many subjects regarding how to create books and other media materials helpful to the education of impaired children and how to approach their learning. We would require a lot of patience and continuous effort to achieve their educational goals. But we found it fun and interesting at the same time, creating educational materials. We learned how boring it was to be a teacher preparing class materials.

Hello, we are IngIng, Sarah, Monnet, and Ping Ping from grade 8, and during the second semester, our service project focused on quality education. Before our service action, we learnt that many underprivileged children (orphans, children from poor families, etc) all around Thailand don’t have access to educational tools to assist them with their education.

For our action, we first volunteered at a cafe to create multiplication table keychains to be sent to children in Mae Wang,

Hello everyone, we are Imm, Claire, Theo, Eiel, and Sunny from G6S. During the second semester, our service project focused on Climate Action. For our project, we researched Climate Action and its global impact, then decided to help by planting mangrove trees.

For our action, we went to Bang Pu Nature Education Center. We learned so much about mangrove trees and how Climate Action affects the world. We also picked up trash and then actually planted the mangrove trees! Doing this was very fun and educational. Afterward, we had a gallery walk at school to share everything we learned during our service learning project.

Chiang Mai. Then, we created a prototype of a keychain at Mega. Then, by combining the knowledge learned from the cafe and our prototype, we went to

and taught the children there how to make the multiplication keychains for themselves. After this action, our perspectives on underprivileged children was expanded on specifically, their living and learning conditions, which allowed us to sympathize with their circumstances.

High School Service Clubs

Food for All

Food for All is a club that aims to provide food for Thai communities in need. We do this by fundraising and then purchasing food, which we deliver to these communities. At the start of this semester, we went to the Mirror Foundation and donated canned goods. It was a simple but meaningful gesture to have the opportunity to give back to the community.

In the following month, we sold drinks and pancakes at the Zanook festival, despite encountering several issues. However, our members were able to solve problems and work well under pressure. For our last charity trip, we visited FCD and provided them with milk cartons. As the year comes to an end, we hope to lay a foundation for the next school year and make an even bigger impact on the community.

Seed of Hope

Seed of Hope is a service that allows club members to foster an environment-friendly mind in hopes of bringing a difference into the nature of Thailand. Seed of Hope’s objective is to raise awareness about sustainability as well as do hands-on service by planting trees and greens.

In this semester, Seed of Hope held a planting trip to a mangrove in Bang Pakong. Bang Pakong used to be a famous attraction for foreigners as it used to have pods of dolphins. However, after some time, these dolphins no longer appear. Living species require food to survive, so these dolphins consume larger fishes to survive, these fishes eat smaller fishes that eat crabs that live in the mangrove. But the mangrove was dehydrated therefore there are no signs of living in that area. The villagers there then realized the issue and were able to revive the mangrove, ultimately attracting the return of the dolphins. Through the help of volunteers and SOH members, the mangrove is now a habitable ecosystem. We will be hosting another trip to the mangrove before the end of this year.

Art Club

Art Club offers an experience that allows members to immerse in activities beyond art by incorporating service activities for members to expand the scope of art application. This year was when Florence's Brush project was first implemented in the club. The Florence's Brush project aims to allow high school students to create a strong portfolio for various fields of interest, especially for art students. Members can also help manage the project's social media account and create a website (coming soon). This project will encourage members to use their art skills to create art-based learning materials and donate them to kids who need quality learning materials. Students can earn CAS credit by attending 3 hands-on service trips by interacting with the children. This project's objective is to be a long-term and ongoing project that students can contribute to give back to the community.

The Florence's Brush project was only implemented in the club this semester, therefore, members are only able to attend 1 trip. When we went to the orphanage to donate these books, the children and teachers were very happy to receive more learning materials as this opened an opportunity for the kids to learn English in a more entertaining way. Through this members can learn to utilize communication skills and social skills. Since these kids are very young, it is important that members have strong communication skills to accurately interact with kids. Social skills are also important because members have to adapt to the environment and know the appropriate way to interact with unfamiliar groups.

High School Clubs

Psychology Club

The Concordian Psychology Club is excited to share a glimpse into our club's activities this year!

On May 10th, we hosted a guest speaker event featuring Dr. Udom Hongchatikul, a leading expert in self-compassion and wellbeing. The talk introduced the main aspects of wellbeing, and explored the “4 Pillars of Wellbeing”. Dr. Udoms insights into the plausible educational scenarios for Thailand by 2050 were truly fascinating, and the interactive format sparked lively discussions. It was a great opportunity for students to learn more about wellbeing and its impact on our lives, especially because of the rise of wellbeing awareness in teenagers.

Additionally, throughout the year, Psychology Club also hosted Member-led presentations where our members tackled a variety of psychological topics, from the science of the brain to the psychology of love, as well as hosting Kahoot! challenges where we put our knowledge to the test with fun and engaging quizzes on different psychological concepts.

We're always looking for new ways to delve deeper into psychology and next year, we're excited to explore collaborative initiatives, potentially partnering with other clubs to explore the intersection of psychology with different fields.

Stay tuned for more mind-bending adventures with the Psychology Club!

World Scholar’s Cup

On the weekend of March 30th and 31st, 5 middle school teams and 1 high school team competed at the World Scholar’s Cup at Denla British School in the Bangkok Regional Round where all teams qualified for the global round.

Students competed in the four main events, Writing, Debate, Bowl, and Quiz. In team writing, scholars have to choose a topic and write a piece. In debate, scholars work together as a team to try and beat the other teams in debate. Scholar’s Quiz is a multiple choice test of the scholars’ knowledge, while Bowl is a mass Kahoot similar to the Quiz where scholars on the same team can work together.

Here at Concordian, the WSC club tutors any who wish to join the World Scholar’s Cup. We encourage everyone to join, as WSC is more than just an academic competition. Not only do you get to meet other scholars from around the world, but we are able to form life-long friendships.

We hope that in the future many more Concordian students will join WSC and if you would like to, please email either burgers_2026@concordian.org, or imboonc_2027@concordian. org.

A special thanks to our advisors, Ms Ederlene, Mr. Rafa, and Ms Lisa, and not to mention our tutors, Burger and Imboon.
