BRIAN IRVING HEAD OF SECONDARY

It is with a great deal of pleasure and pride that I extend to you a very warm welcome to the Secondary School of The Regent’s School, Bangkok. The purpose of this Handbook is to give you all of the operational information that you need about the School, our vision, mission and objectives. Education is a dynamic experience and we must realise that the teaching methodologies of even 5 years ago are very different to the ones currently experienced by our students. The ever-changing world in which we live encourages us to provide our students with the necessary skills and personal attributes to help them become ‘well rounded leaders of the future’. With this in mind we continually review our curriculum and pedagogy in light of current educational research. The Secondary School is based in one dedicated building. There are specialist classrooms for Art, DT, Drama, Music and ICT and three fully equipped Science laboratories. There is a well-stocked Secondary Library and a separate study area for Year 12 and 13 students. The Secondary School has its own Dining Room and a Tuck Shop. There is an outdoor basketball court, swimming pool and a state of the art floodlit artificial sports pitch.

Welcome to The Regent’s School, Bangkok. This is a very special school and one that offers every young person the opportunity to develop to the highest of standards. We believe in educating every child as a whole person so that they flourish in and out of the classroom. We promote the values that make all of our pupils good, capable people as they grow up and we prepare everyone for the competitive, vibrant and international workplace of the 21st century. Skilled, well qualified teachers work hard to make sure pupils gain the best possible results to allow them to go on to the world’s best universities. Also we encourage our pupils to develop interests and passions that will remain with them through life. All our staff are ambitious for every pupil and we understand that there is nothing more important in the life of any parent than the happiness, safety and success of their children. Your children are our priority and The Regent’s School provides the ideal environment for learning, achievement and personal development. We have prepared this handbook to help you understand the running and organisation of the school. It covers most aspects of school life; please retain it for reference. However we appreciate you may have some unanswered questions and you are always welcome to contact school at any time over any matter. Peter Hogan BCom, PGCE, MA principal-bkk@regents.ac.th

In achieving excellence and creating well rounded leaders of the future, the Secondary School in Key Stages 3 and 4 follows an enhanced version of the English National Curriculum (ENC) which takes into account our local cultural influences. Students in Years 10 and 11 study for General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) and the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE). These are internationally recognised educational programmes authorised by two of the leading UK examination boards; Cambridge International Education and Edexcel. Year 12 and 13 students study the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). Recently we have had students gain admission to some of the world’s top universities including Cambridge University, Imperial College, London (both in the UK) as well as other leading UK, American, Australian and Asian Universities. Our Guiding Statements directly influence both our curriculum development and commitment to a holistic education for our students. As a Round Square school, we promote six IDEALS of learning: Internationalism, Democracy, Environment, Adventure, Leadership and Service. We have a number of well-developed and ongoing community service projects. In developing excellence we also wish to develop the whole child and the Secondary School has a robust and caring Pastoral Care system, supported by a full time Counsellor. Students also have regular Personal and Social Education lessons and are actively encouraged to become fully involved in Round Square activities and a full and varied co-curricular programme. I encourage you to visit our website for more information- www.regents.ac.th/bangkok and please do not hesitate to contact us to arrange a visit to the school. If you have any questions about the Secondary School, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to meeting you. Yours sincerely, Brian Irving headsec-bkk@regents.ac.th

SECONDARY HANDBOOK

guiding statement vision A journey of excellence in international education: at The Regent’s School, Bangkok, the Home of Well-rounded Leaders of the Future, we believe that all students can learn to their fullest potential because of the School’s commitment to holistic education. Student learning will be enhanced by national, international, and intercultural perspectives. Graduates will develop the academic knowledge and the technological skills, to enable them to communicate effectively, think critically and solve problems. They will become responsible and accountable citizens, lifelong learners and will be prepared for the challenges of university and their life beyond.

mission The Regent’s School aims to provide a secure and caring co-educational day and boarding environment in which students develop the skills and values necessary to realise their potential and make a positive contribution to society. The School actively fosters academic excellence, respect for others’ opinions, international awareness, understanding of environmental issues, enjoyment of challenge, experience of leadership and commitment to the service of others.

Learning objectives The outcomes which our students will experience on their learning journey are: • a rich learning environment with outstanding holistic teaching • positive, enjoyable, stimulating, rigorous and differentiated learning • an enriching curriculum which has strong cross-curricular links and a sustained co-curricular programme • thorough assessment and tracking of overall progress in order to achieve true potential • an appropriate transition from one Key Stage to the next in order to support emotional and academic needs • a positive and rewarding English Speaking Environment • the opportunity to become effective communicators, critical and innovative thinkers, good problem solvers and lifelong learners • 6 strong intercultural, international and national understanding

• a confidence in effectively using information technology skills at school and in future life Our students will: • achieve the external examination results and university offers of which they are capable • develop the appropriate morals and values, through the Round Square IDEALS, to become well rounded leaders for the future

Round square Discover the world and make a difference. Round Square is based on the theories of experiential educational philosopher Kurt Hahn who believed that schools should have a greater purpose beyond preparing young people for college and university. Dr. Hahn believed that it was crucial for students to prepare for life by having them face it head on and experience it in ways that would demand courage, generosity, imagination, principle and resolution. As a result, he felt that young people would become empowered and develop the skills and abilities to be the leaders and guardians of tomorrow’s world. Round Square schools are founded on a philosophy which embraces a series of six pillars or precepts which can be summed up in the word IDEALS. They are Internationalism, Democracy, Environment, Adventure, Leadership and Service. Students at Round Square schools make a commitment to address each of these pillars through exchanges, work projects, community service and adventure. The overriding goal is to ensure the full and individual development of every student as a whole person through the simultaneous realisation of their academic, physical, cultural and spiritual aspiration.

internationalism The most powerful force in advocating and promoting international understanding is exposure to different cultures. Students from all nationalities are welcomed into school. They are taught to appreciate value and respect all cultures, religions and languages. Students learn to see themselves as global citizens and are asked to look beyond gender, class, race, nationality and culture to understand human nature. We organise term-length exchanges among students, GAP students (who are pre-university, post-secondary) and staff. Annually, delegations of students and staff gather at a member school to attend an international conference and work on solving world issues. Students are also encouraged to join international service projects.

DEMOcracy

leadership

Teaching students both the values of democracy and the importance of active participation in democracy is essential to Round Square schools. Freedom of thought and speech is greatly encouraged and appropriate forums and channels of communication are set in place. Students are also taught to appreciate the importance of self-discipline and are trained and expected to share in the running of the school. Therefore, student government and a genuine sense of responsibility in the management of the school are goals in all Round Square schools.

Students are taught that true leadership is found in those whose convictions are rooted in personal responsibility, kindness and justice. Opportunities for student leadership in the school’s community are fostered. Leadership roles, held by senior students, in particular, are substantial and range from management of housekeeping positions to holding key leadership positions. A high level of responsibility is passed on to students individually and collectively. Round Square committees in schools are chaired by students, and various leadership positions of consequence are shared by the students. The annual conference is an ideal forum for students to demonstrate leadership skills, both in the planning process and public administration.

environment Students are taught the importance of tending to the future of the planet. Round Square students are expected to demonstrate an active interest and concern for all natural environments, to be aware of proven problems and to play a practical role in tackling environmental issues. Students are taught the fine balance and the interdependence needed to maintain a healthy relationship between human beings and the planet. Special programmes, work projects and curricula all emphasise each young person’s destiny to be a guardian of human society and the global environment.

adventure Building the body and soul through adventure, meeting the physical challenge and developing an appreciation of the outdoors: these are all central to Round Square schools. We arranges outdoor and co-curricular activities that challenge and strongly engage students, individually and within groups – in ways that promote personal growth and self discovery. All students are expected to participate in Outward Bound type activities which will foster a spirit of adventure and the realization that students can be so much more than they might have imagined. At The Regent’s School, Bangkok we also incorporate adventure programmes for various grades into school calendars and invite students from other member schools to join in.

service A key method used by Round Square to prepare students for life is by the expectation of serving others. Each student is encouraged to perform a substantial number of service hours, either in schoolsponsored, regional or international projects. Round Square international projects have been in existence since the early eighties, occurring in developing countries, where both staff and students from all Round Square schools work together in constructing buildings and water systems. We often train students in skills to help in emergency or disaster situations. To help in funding these projects, students raise money for the Prince Alexander Project Fund, to supply construction materials for the projects.

progress tracking and target setting

In KS3, KS4 and Senior Studies assessment results are recorded and students’ progress is tracked against an expected trajectory. Students are assessed at the beginning of Year 7, Year 10 and the end of Year 9 to establish their starting points. These baseline data are derived through special computer adaptive tests run by Durham University in the UK. The data, along with other information, is put to use by staff to set individual yearly targets for each student. Assessments throughout the year are then compared to expectations to ensure that students do not fall behind and are continually academically challenged. Targets are set at the beginning of the year and reported to parents in the first grade sheet. Students are made fully aware of their targets in each subject and are given advice about what they need to do to meet them. 20

SECONDARY HANDBOOK

Homework Homework is given for many reasons. An important part of a young person’s education is to develop the self-discipline, motivation, inquisitiveness, perseverance and organisational skills to be able to learn and work independently. Homework is used to develop these attributes as well as to consolidate knowledge gained through lessons. All students are issued with homework diaries that must be kept up to date. The teacher and tutor will check diary entries regularly and parents should also check to see whether there are messages to them contained in the comments. The homework diary is an important communication tool between parents, teachers and students. Homework and assignments will be checked and recorded, but not necessarily graded. The teachers will have efficient systems for checking to see that the homework is completed to an acceptable standard.

Homework allocation Homework will sometimes be given during Term breaks, Christmas, Easter or in Summer, particularly in KS4. • For the average Year 7-9 student, total homework assignments for three subjects may take up to 60 minutes to complete. The homework timetable will be distributed at the beginning of the year. • For the average Year 10 or Year 11 student, homework may take up to 120 minutes to complete. Again, students will be given a homework timetable. • For students in Year 12 and 13 homework, private study and research will be variable, depending on the needs of students and the demands of subjects. As a guide we would expect two to three hours study a day.

emergency measures AND PROCEDURES

insurance policy

accidents during school time

1. The safety of our students is of prime concern to the School. Therefore, a number of procedures have been put into practice for their well-being.

24 hour accident insurance Siam Samsung Life Insurance Company is provided for all students who are registered at The Regent’s School. This insurance will be valid from 10 days after full payment of school fees for the first term of entry. The insurance limit is 10,000 baht per accident (dental surgery is not covered).

If your child has an accident during school time, the school will contact you immediately and if agreed the school will arrange for your child to be sent to the hospital, accompanied by a member of staff. The school will arrange for the hospital to deal directly with the insurance company and you will be liable only for any charges over and above the 10,000 baht maximum insurance limit, which you will need to pay directly to the hospital.

LAnguage

food and beverage

This is an English Speaking Environment (ESE); therefore the English language must be spoken during class time unless the class is designated for learning another language or specific permission has been given by a member of staff. Children will be expected to speak English in the playground, on school buses and on field trips. Inappropriate crude or coarse language is prohibited anywhere on school property, on the buses and on field trips. This will be monitored carefully by the class teachers so that abuses do not occur. On the playing field or in the Auditorium, all students are required to speak English at all times. It is considered impolite and unacceptable if a language not understood by peers is used. The School adopts various ways of reinforcing the use of good English.

All students will be required to use the Dining Hall provided in the secondary building. The students will eat the school lunch in the Dining Hall. We also provide a Tuck Shop from which students may purchase a morning snack. The Tuck Shop is open at morning break, lunch time and after school.

2. Fire evacuation and lock down drill will be held on a termly basis. Students will be asked to go to a designated area, led by their classroom teacher. The register will then be taken by the teacher. 3. The First Aid room is located on the ground floor of the Secondary Building. This room has three observation beds and is well equipped with essential medicine. Two full-time registered nurses are present from 7.30 a.m. to 4 p.m. 4. Proper medical personnel or an ambulance will be called immediately should a student need to be taken to the hospital. A detailed report of the incident will be written up as soon as possible by the nurse and a copy will be given to the parent, medical personnel, and other officials who may require it. 5. No prescription drugs will be given to students on the school premises unless specifically instructed by the physician or with the consent of parents.

assembly

Attendance

Assemblies will be held on a weekly basis. All students are required to attend.

Students are required to attend every class. Absences are permitted only in cases of sickness or with prior written permission of the parent. On return to school after sickness, a note of explanation from the parent should be given to the tutor teacher. Repeated absence for other reasons will be regarded as a waste of the Parent’s and the school’s valuable time. A conference with the Principal will be called to investigate formally. Should a student miss the bus and not come to school, or leave the school campus without prior consent, a telephone call will be made to the parent.

lateness A child arriving in school after the registration period (8:00 - 8:10) will be regarded as LATE and a “late mark” will be placed in the school register. All late children MUST report to the Secondary Office before being allowed to enter class. Regular lateness to school results in detentions first at lunch and then after school.

Missed Work

absence

Secondary students who have missed school or an individual class will be required to make up any work that was assigned. It is the responsibility of the student to enquire about any school work, tests or assignments that have been missed and need to be made up.

Good school attendance greatly improves your child’s chances of fulfilling their potential and being successful in school. Absences will be marked as being either: • Authorised (only the school can authorise the absence) • Unauthorised (where no acceptable reason for the absence is given to the school) In cases of a disputed unauthorised absence, the Principal shall be the final arbiter.

posters

Students or parents who wish to put up posters in the School must seek approval from the Principal before proceeding. Unauthorised posters or notices will be taken down immediately.

accidents at home If your child has an accident at home, you will need to see a doctor within 24 hours of the accident in order to be able to claim from the insurance company. Please bring the following documentation to the Principal’s Office: * Receipt of payment (original) * Medical certificate (original - please ask for this at the hospital) The School will claim with the insurance company and you will be reimbursed by cheque, usually within 1 month of the school receiving the correct documentation.

SECONDARY HANDBOOK

discipline policy A student who displays good discipline is orderly, has good manners, is obedient and rarely needs correction or punishment. When a student does not follow the guidelines laid down by the school, he or she is not demonstrating good discipline, and a series of stepped solutions may be applied depending on the severity of the offence. Solutions consist of extra work, detention, “on report”, “internal exclusion”, “suspension”, “on contract” and finally exclusion.

All school fees have to be settled by the first day of each term. Failure to do so will cause your child not to be allowed to come to school and enter classrooms until the full payment is received. If this is the case, your child will still be kept on the school register and will not be considered as ‘Withdrawn’. Normal withdrawal procedures (one term’s advance notice) still apply.

term 2 and term 3

Students are required to pay the full fees 21 days before the end of the preceding term to reserve a place for the next term, i.e. pay Term 2’s fee by 18th November, and Term 3’s fee by 10th March.

late payment

If there are any outstanding payments by the start of each term, the School reserves the right to refuse the student access to the school or boarding house until full payment is made. In addition, a late payment fee of THB5,000 plus a charge of THB500 per day will be invoiced. Parents should contact the Principal to discuss the financial difficulty and for obtaining permission for their child to enter classroom for one or two days. This request for a few days attendance should be done in advance. This delay of fee payment is likely to be recorded in the student’s file and a repeated request is unlikely to be approved.

method of payment no cash policy

The School operates a no cash policy. All items will be invoiced for payment and then receipts issued. All receipts should be kept as proof of payment.

cheque

Thai personal cheques, cashiers’ cheques and bankers’ drafts are accepted. These should be made payable to Regent Bangkok Education Co.,Ltd. We are unable to accept overseas cheques and bankers’ drafts due to the long time these take to get cleared. Receipts for payments by personal cheque will only be issued once the cheque has cleared.

This means that for students withdrawing at the end of Term 2 for example, they must hand in the Withdrawal Form before the start of Term 2. Advance notice is necessary since teacher recruiting and student admissions are finalised early in the preceding term.

Swift code: TMBKTHBK Please note that for payments by local transfer, overseas transfer or internet banking, a copy of the proof of transaction along with the student’s name, surname and year level clearly stated must be sent to the School. Transactions made without this proof of payment will be considered as outstanding. Please e-mail to finance-bkk@regents.ac.th or fax to + 66 2690 3778 from overseas or 0 2690 3778 from within Thailand.

credit card

The following Thai /Overseas credit cards are accepted: Visa, Master card and JCB Overseas Visa cards are also accepted. Please note that for payments above THB50,000, a 3% charge is levied. Alternatively, The Regent’s School offers Installment plan with KTC credit card customers, parents can choose from 2 months-10 months payment with 0.69% interest per month.

Over or under staffing and enrolment are generally costly. Where one term’s notice of withdrawal is impossible, such as sudden forced relocation overseas or a medical emergency, special approval from the Fees Committee may be granted upon documented evidence such as written proof from the company, or a medical certificate. In the case of relocation overseas, we require a scanned copy of the departure from Thailand stamp in the student’s passport plus the entry stamp into the country of relocation.

2. Expulsion The damage and loss deposit will be retained by the school to compensate for the damage to the school, but tuition and boarding fees will be refunded as follows: Asked to leave from start to Mid-term 25% Asked to leave from Mid-term thereafter no refund

refund of deposits For students who have withdrawn following correct procedure and with correct paperwork (see section 5), and who have no outstanding fees, any refundable deposits made will be refunded 4 to 6 weeks after the end of their last day of school. This amount of time is necessary to allow teaching staff and administration time to check thoroughly each students’ paperwork and financial status. Refunds are normally made by cheque to be collected from the Finance Department. In the event that the family has to travel overseas before the issue of the cheque, the money may be transferred into an overseas account after deducting transfer fees.

The School requires every student to give one term’s notice, except Y13 Graduates Withdrawal must be made in writing to the Principal’s Office using the Withdrawal form available. All textbooks must be returned to the school on the student’s last day. A Book Return Form is available from the Primary or Secondary School secretaries and the student must have each subject teacher sign the form as proof that they have returned the books. It is important that your child is properly withdrawn from the School in order to receive transcripts or report cards for his or her next school. This is a strict policy and very few exceptions will apply. Progress reports or transcripts will only be given when the withdrawal form is completed and any outstanding school fees have been settled. In the case of students who, after following correct disciplinary procedure, are formally asked to leave the school as a result of breaking the school rules, two options are available: 1. Withdrawal If parents wish to voluntarily withdraw the student before a formal request of expulsion from the school is given and noted on school records, no tuition and boarding fees will be reimbursed as one term notice has not been given.

This bursary fund has been established as an incentive to encourage A grade Thai students who would normally leave after their IGCSEs to attend Thai universities, as currently allowed by the Thai Ministry of Education, to stay and complete the I.B.D.P and therefore gain the opportunity to study at a renowned university overseas.

SECONDARY HANDBOOK

a ‘good practice’ guide to english language development at home Parents often ask ‘What can I do for my child to help with his/her English when they are not at School? • During holidays it is very easy to forget about learning English. This is the time to sign up for one of The Regent’s Schools’ summer holiday (July/August) courses. Contact the Admissions Office for details. • Another way to help your child during the holidays is to send him/her to an English speaking country. • If you cannot send your child abroad during the holidays or attend one of The Regent’s own courses, sign your son/daughter up for a series of intensive lessons at a language school here in Thailand. The British Council school is the best. Alternatively, arrange for a series of lessons from a qualified English EAL teacher. • Encourage your child to read an English book. Every student has a reading book at all times and this is one of the best ways to improve vocabulary. • Buy a Grammar exercise book with answers. The best one is ‘English Grammar in Use’ by Raymond Murphy (available at all good bookshops). • If you speak English why don’t you have one meal as a family per weekend where you all speak English together. • Make sure that your son/daughter listens to an English radio station. (For Bangkok, FM 95.5, FM 88 and FM 107 are the best!). • If your son/daughter wants to go to the cinema make sure they watch the original soundtrack version of the film. • As a family, sit down and watch television together. Watch anything as long as it is in English. • Buy appropriate magazines from America or England at any good bookshop (Bookazine, Kinokuniya, DK Books or Asia Books).
