A MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGER The most significant issue relating to learning is the relatively recent paradigm shift in education. This change is illustrated in the way in which curriculum is defined and technology is used. The distinct roles of teachers and learners are becoming increasingly blurred.
The result is a student learning how to learn and discovering knowledge with the coaching guidance of a teacher. To facilitate this shift, here are some technological trends we need to grow in The Prince Royal’s College in the coming years.
Education is no longer defined in terms of what a teacher will teach but rather in terms of what a student can demonstrate. It is essential that we understand WHAT a student knows before new learning begins and HOW best to build on what each student already knows. To learn is to change. Education is a process that our paradigm mistakes as a means to an end. We now see that our mission is not instruction but rather producing learning in every student by whatever means works best. “Education changes the learner.”
Social media It is something people are ambivalent about. Many academics use it (i.e., watch YouTube, at least), but many criticize it. Yet people are using social media more than ever. Students are faster and quicker in this category. Teachers and the older generation are the followers. It is not optional anymore.
Gamification Gamification is a learning-based strategy that transforms traditional educational curricula into engaging user content by applying game-based dynamics in the learning environment. Examples of gamification include question-answer contests and re-enactments of the study material.
Cloud-based learning It will continue to grow. Many education firms and online charter school programs have invested heavily in delivering their educational curriculum using cloudbased web services and remote delivery systems.
Custom Tailored Learning The trends above are working together to create a more personalized educational experience for students. They can enroll in online courses, listen to the lectures while driving to work, read the course materials anywhere, and complete the assignments on a handheld device. They are all here. We are catching up. And we need to do it quickly so as to not be left behind. After all, to learn is to change. PRC is no exception. The Future is already Now. The Future is already Here.
The growth of interactive technologies has resulted in the increase in popularity of new learning technologies. The role of teachers is to be a “guide on the side” instead of a “sage on the stage.” We have moved from an instruction paradigm, in which an instructor transfers knowledge to students, to a learning paradigm, in which a teacher’s role is that of a coach.

LETTER FROM THE PRINCIPAL – to cope with whatever comes our way. As each year passes, we learn more and more. But only the wise among us will take these lessons and turn them into blessings that will make us all stronger human beings.
We
thank God for leading us through the old year and into this new year, 2016. This past year we have experienced a great deal: difficulties, happiness, failures, and successes. All of these experiences have served to make us more complete individuals. I believe that we must follow the old saying – “Life is Learning.” We are learning to adapt our ways so that we may better fit into the context of others’ lives. We are learning how to develop our strengths so that we may reach our goals. We are learning to mold our minds to be strong, to face all difficulties, obstacles, problems
This year, we are excited to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the renaming of our school by King Rama VI. Then, just next year, we will be celebrating the 130th anniversary of the school’s founding by Rev. David Collins. These historical events are very dear to us, as was illustrated by our Give Thanks Concert, held October 29-31, 2015, in their anticipation. Since these historical events, PRC has continued to add new chapters to its story. An animated video depicting the lives of all the principals that have filled the seat of leadership since William Harris is planned. Students will at last get to know these principals and their

accomplishments. They will learn about the more recent history of their school in this interesting and entertaining format. Also, the renovation of our beloved historical chapel will be underway in March. When the renovation of the school museum is completed, students will be better able to understand the basic tenet of our educational philosophy, that
“ The Ultimate Aim of Education is the Development of Character.” It is my hope that, upon completion of these ambitious projects, our students will better understand the identity of PRC and its progress toward the future.

Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year! I hope you had a great time with your loves last year. Many things happened to all of us, both good and bad. Now I want to say, “New Year, New Life.” It’s time to start the next chapter of life and forget the old one in order to be better. Don’t let anything make you anxious! Even though I told you to begin your new year and forget the terrible things in your previous year, I still want to mention some of memorable activities that took place at our beloved The Prince Royal’s College. First of all, last year we continued the long tradition of the “Harris Mini Marathon,” where a number of students, alumni, and parents participated and showed their support. This shows us that no matter how long it has been since you graduated from PRC, you are still a PRC student.
Next, I would like to say Happy 110th Birthday to my beloved school! There was a ceremony on Jan. 2, 2016 to celebrate school’s birthday and there were numerous people there. PRC teaches me not only knowledge and morality, but also how to live with others in society just like the quote, “PRC makes me man.” Finally, every other bit of news can be found here in the newspaper. We work hard to provide the best information and fun articles as well. So, don’t forget to take a look and follow our work. Thank you.

PRC alumni participated in the concert as well. All performers had been spending over three months in rehearsals to be as prepared as possible for the show. All parents, teachers, and students were invited to see the performances. Activities involved singing, dancing, as well as offering donations. The funds will go to the William Harris Foundation to support students in need, the school’s education development, and Christian advocacy.

The Prince Royal’s College held the 34th annual Harris Mini Marathon on Nov. 14, 2015. The Harris Mini Marathon is a charity event hosted by PRC and the William Harris Foundation. The runners gathered at the PRC gymnasium for the start point. They were released at 6 am sharp to run the six-kilometer-long route. After the run, the fastest runners were awarded prizes based on their times. The participants were mostly PRC students, alumni, teachers and parents, but there were also many participants from outside the school since everyone was welcomed to join. “Participating in Harris Mini Marathon brought me the good old memories of the school,” said Tun Burn in a comment to the Harris Mini Marathon page on Facebook. This event is one of the most important events of the year. It lets all high school students take part in a fun physical activity together.

The festival of lights, held every year on the full moon of the twelfth month in Thailand, was originally a ceremony for paying respect to the three gods during the reign of King Mongkut (Rama IV). It was later adopted by Buddhists as a ceremony to honor the Buddha. In Chiang Mai, the celebration is known as “Yi Peng” and occurs during the second month in the traditional calendar of the old northern Lanna kingdom. The Yi Peng lanterns are displayed in houses and temples, and even launched into the night sky. The Beauty contests are often a feature of Thai festivals and Loy Krathong Primary students making krathong. celebrations are no exception.

Since Sports Day has benefits like these and more, let’s have everyone, from children to grandparents enjoy and participate together.
The runners received medals from the Principal.
According to the old legend, these pageants began with Noppamas, the daughter of a Brahmin priest at the king’s court in Sukothai. On Wednesday Nov. 25, 2015 The Prince Royal’s College also took part in the Loy Krathong festival. Primary students wearing Thai dress made their own Krathong with flowers and candles, and also shared “Tung” or colorful long flags, with friends. The most popular Krathong is made of banana leaves and banana tree trunks held together with pins. Also, colorful flowers such as carnations, gerbera, cutters and orchids are pinned on as well.

Another interesting kind of krathong is made out of bread. This is popular with kids because it is colorful and toy-like, and it’s also good for the environment. In the meantime, upper secondary students made their own massive fire lanterns and released them into the sky as part of the physics class. “Most of the fire lanterns flew up by our love, inventiveness and harmony. Whether we lose or win it doesn’t matter. It’s not just about the festival, it’s about unity,” one of the student groups said.

What do you do on Father’s Day? People all around the world celebrate this special event with their fathers. In Thailand, Father’s Day is held on Dec. 5 every year. Many children spend quality time with their beloved fathers by biking up Doi Suthep mountain together, cooking dishes, and making cards. This year, the kindergarteners of The Prince Royal’s College took part in a student-father activity called “I Will Be Grateful for My Dad” on Tuesday Dec. 1, 2015 at the PRC Kindergarten building. In each class, fathers, particularly those who are PRC alumni, came to their child’s class to share some of their life experiences including their careers. They also took part in playing games and talking with the children.
In classroom number 6, Chaikaew Wupipatsataya’s father, or “Por Keng,” as the children called him, was a representative of all the fathers in the class. He is an Air Asia pilot. He said that he was very glad to be at PRC and is so proud of his daughter. He showed the class a video of him taking off and landing an airplane, and also played some games. Everyone enjoyed this moment together. The students were enthusiastic about this activity and hope that it will occur every year. “Today, I enjoyed doing this activity very much. I loved playing games with my friends and watching the airplane clips. Although everything is fun, I also want my father to join this activity with me,” the Kindergarten student named Thanakrit Kriatpadungkul (Lomneanr) said. This activity is not only just for the fathers to spend time with their children, but also for the students to make cards and gifts for their fathers, too. This is one of the cutest moments between fathers and children. Don’t forget to do special things with your special ones. Enjoy Father’s Day Together!

Celebrations take place all over the country every year on this day. Government offices, private sectors, buildings, roads, and houses are decorated with the portrait of the King and yellow flags.
“When I sang honor songs, I felt like I was wishing him to stay with us and have a long life. While I was praying, I recalled his goodness and what he has done for his country and his people, from the sufficiency economy to building new dams,” said the 10th grade student Suttipong Pansurat.
This year, there was also a special event that Thai people set up for the King. This is the first year for the event called ‘Bike for Dad.’Although it was the event’s inaugural year, there were still many Thais and foreigners who joined. Participants biked together in order to honor the King and also show him the unity of Thai people.

Teachers also sold different kinds of food with the help of current students and PRC’s alumni. Parents gathered together as well to spend time with their children and enjoy the festivities. Prasit Boonchan, one of the parents, said, “I come here every year and it never gets old.” He later added, “My son is performing tonight, I’m so proud of him.” To add to the fun, PRC sponsored a small fair for family and friends to enjoy the night together. Louis, one of the visitors said, “I was walking by and I heard music, so I decided to come and look. It was really fascinating seeing all these different performances going on. They were very beautiful.” This important event would not be successful without PRC administrators, teachers, alumni and all students in the school. Thank you to everyone for making year so special!

Celebrating
the coming of a new year is one of the most important traditions around the world. But in some countries, there are more than grand parties with food and drinks to celebrate the New Year. In fact, there are many strange New Year traditions that you might not have heard about before...
First Guest In Scotland, there is a tradition called ‘Hogmanay’. The Scottish believe that the first person who crosses the threshold of your house on New Year’s Day will bring you good lucks for a whole year.
Plate Smashing It has long been believed in Denmark that if you smash a plate at the front door, the more it shatters, the more companionship and unity there will be in the house. Bonfires around Christmas trees are popular as well, and are thought to chase away bad luck.
Eating 12 grapes The Spanish try to eat 12 grapes as the clock strikes midnight from the 1st chime to the 12th chime. They believe that if they are able to eat all 12 grapes in time, it will bring them luck for all 12 months in that year.
Muñeco Burning In Panama and Ecuador, burning “muñecos” or effigies of people who played a big role in news, politics, or even one’s personal life throughout the previous year is how some people say, “Out with the old, In with the new.” Burning the muñecos demolishes all the old things and leads to new things and a new life in the new year.
Mistletoe Under Pillow On New Year’s Eve, single women in Ireland place mistletoe leaves under their pillows to catch their future husband, with the belief that mistletoe can bring them love. In Irish culture, mistletoe is also believed to chase away bad luck.
