English Program Ratchaborikanukroh School Vision

Curriculum

Background

Goals

The teaching philosophy of the program is to encourage the students to become strong and independent while acquiring knowledge through critical thinking and student centered learning activities. Ratchaborikanukroh School, which is known for its excellent foreign language program, was permitted by the Ministry of Education to open its English Program in 2002 to promote the teaching and learning of English. The program currently has M1 – M6 classes (7th-12th grades). This makes us one of the few English programs in Thailand that has complete upper secondary English program.

Extra curricular activities

• Every year, in April, there are preparation courses for the new students (grades 7 and 10) to improve their English skills and bring them up to our high standard of learning. • Extra tutoring classes every weekend by qualified Thai teachers (Science and Math). • English camp once a year – fun and educational activities in English while experiencing new environments. • We encourage our students to be part of Student Exchange programs in different countries.

The curriculum is Thai-based with all subjects except Thai language taught in English. Math, Science and English are taught by fully qualified foreign teachers as well as computers, art and social studies. The main goals of the program are, to provide our students with the best possible academic foundation, preparing them for further study in their chosen field or for a future in business, while grooming them to take their places as citizens of the world. This is done through the reinforcement of the importance of the Thai culture, as well as teaching about other cultures and the need for tolerance and understanding when dealing with others.

Learning resources

The benefits of our English Program:

• Small classes (about 20 students per class). • Experienced teachers. • Highly equipped classes with TV, projectors, DVD’s etc. • High tech science labs. • Well equipped computer room with internet access, software and audio equipment. • Well organized library with the best books in English for every subject and level. • Quality teaching methods.

“Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” - Buddha EP is celebrating its 12th year of academic excellence, leading students to their bright futures and molding them to become worldclass citizens. We always tell our graduates to keep the RBEP spirit alive wherever they go. Their triumphs are also a reflection of how our school was, is and will be. We will place that flame, that spirit, burning within EP students in order for them to believe in themselves more, to be socially conscious and to become better in what they do. Next school year, we are saddened for A. Kalayanee and A. Pallapa will bid farewell to our EP family. They have been influential to how EP is today. We wouldn’t have been more successful as we are now without their guidance and management. We will surely miss you both. Thank you for everything you have shared with us. Share the love, share the happiness and always KEEP THE RBEP SPIRIT ALIVE!

Message of the EP Head Hello everybody, It’s with great pride to say that this year has been a challenging year for all of us and that we have come through with flying colors. As you read through this year book, you will get a picture of what we have accomplished over the past academic year. You will see a variety of activities and experiences that were not only educational, but also inspirational, exciting, enjoyable and worthwhile. This year has been a highly successful year. Our school was declared A “Royal Award School” , granted to outstanding school in recognition of their high quality, achievement and standards. Our English Program has served as one of the six most outstanding and recognized projects of the school. We are glad to be part of the school is success. This success was not by chance, but resulted from the tremendous dedication, hard work and commitment of students, parents, teachers and staff members. Inaddition to this, we were honoured to host the zone B academic competition for the 11 EP schools from 6 provinces. This meant extra hard work, but it proved effective teamwork, collaboration and co-operation of our team and staff. In this competition many of our students accomplished academic achievement as competitors at both the zone and regional level. As a matter of fact, we have won first place gold medal at the regional level for 6 consecutive years. Our commitment is not only to academic excellence but also to student life. Educational research confirms that students who excel outside the classroom perform better inside the classroom. We bear this in mind and provide an opportunity for our students to be well-rounded students who engage in extra-curricular activities and community service. One highlighted activity is the EP. English Camp. This year was so special because it’s my last camp and it was a genuine student-centered camp. Matayom 6 students together with EP Student Body volunteered to host the camp. They made their own plans for the camp the theme of which was “Social Conscience : One World, One love” It was delightful to see the excitement in the eyes of our students as they were actively engaged in preparing activities. This has been a truly amazing year – the year that’s full of hard work and learning experiences for all of us. I’d like to take this opportunity to extend my thanks to all staff, teachers, students and parents who have helped make this year remarkable. Special thanks to Ajarn Romeo, Saichol and her staff for compiling such a memorable edition. To all graduates, congratulations on your success. We are so proud of you and wish you the best of luck. We hope that you will stay in touch via Facebook and remain part of our EP family throughout your lives. Kalayanee Reunthong Head of the English Program Celebrating Our 12 Years of Success

A message from the EP Student Body President My name is Supakorn Athichalintorn. I am the English Program student body president and astudent in M.5. It’s been challenging being president and even more challenging being a good president. There are many things that I used to do, but asthe president, can’t do anymore – things such as being noisy in the library, wearing shoes inside the locker room, using my mobile phone in the library and dressing untidily. This job has really changedthe way I think. I am worried every time I dress untidily or do something to break the rules. I want to express my thanks to all the EP staff and teachers, especially Ajarn Kalayanee. Ajarn Kalayanee has always helped me and given me great suggestions on how to handle this difficult job. Thank you to all of my friends and student council members who always help me. I know that all that I have done couldn’t have been successful without you. Finally, I want to tell all EP students to take care our EP building, it is our home and to follow the rules because breaking them doesn’t make any sense and worse yet, if you break the EP, rules you will be fined.

Messages from the First of all, we want to say “thank you” to all of the EP teachers that taught us and to all the EP staff that helped us. We may sometimes ignore your teachings, being noisy in the class and being lazy, however, you always give us chances and you never cease to remind us to be responsible to our actions. And for that we would like to say sorry. You may often see or hear these word being said every year but this words truly comes from our hearts. Thank you to A. Kalayanee Reunthong who gave us the chance to study, to grow, to live our youthful lives happily in RBEP, a place where we found great friends and great knowledge. It’s not just a place to learn languages and sciences but also to learn how to become a good person with good values that can make our lives better. Lastly, we will not forget all of the EP students because we’re not just seniors or juniors but, we are “family” and it will be forever in our hearts. Miss Thawalrat “Baitoey” Pinkasemjit Class President, M3/14 Since day one as a part of the EP family, we felt that everyone, teachers & staff, are so kind. Teachers here aren’t just teachers, they can be our mom, dad, a brother, a sister and a dear friend. When we are under a lot of stress, our teachers are always present, always find the time to give us an advice to solve any problem. Thank you so much. Thank you for your taking care of us for the past 3 years. Even though, some of us won’t be here in m.4 anymore but our hearts will be here forever. Every memory that we’ve made won’t disappear. Sometimes we were naughty in the class, we didn’t have focus to study, and we made you angry, sad and disappointed even though there are just 18 in the class. We would like to say sorry to all of you. We are very happy being in school - all 3 years of it. You always support us in everything we do. You sent us to competitions so that we can gain new experiences. Win or lose, you never complain. EP teachers will always say, “We’ve done our best. We can always try it again and be better.” EP teachers always give us an inspiration and makes us believe in ourselves more. Once again, we would like to say thank you to every teacher that taught us since M.1, All of the bad things, we will learn from it and we will keep the good memories. Our best memories happen while being in EP for 3 years. We will cherish it forever. Miss Pussaya Pornsinchai Class President, M.3/15

Graduating Class Presidents

This is now the time when my friends and I are leaving RBEP to start a new chapter of our lives in different universities. Honestly, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go but we MUST. How time flies! In 6 years, we did a few bad and stupid things to our teachers and the staff and for that we would like to say sorry for those days that we behaved poorly. We are not the perfect students but we tried our very best to be one. In behalf of the graduating Matayom 6 students, I would like to say a big THANK YOU to every teacher and staff who has taught us, punished us, reminded us what we should do, advised us to do better things, and listened to us when we got problems. Being in RBEP for 6years, we have learned a lot of good and useful things not just to become a great student but also to become a great citizen of this ever-changing world. And last but not the least, everything that we have been through together is going to be in our memories forever. WE LOVE YOU ALL!!! Miss Benyapa Wongwanich Class President, M.6/14

Firstly, to all this year’s M6 students, I wish you good luck and prosperity in your future. You never finish learning, so continue and be the best you can be! And secondly to M3, I will miss you all greatly. You have been such a fun class to teach. You have given me headaches, laughter, and satisfaction. I will remember you all fondly. Keep in touch and good luck on the next stage of your journey. Don’t lose your energy! Ajarn Shane So proud of you all! Remember, learning lasts a lifetime. I hope that you take this away with you knowing that ending your school years is simply one marker on your journey albeit an important one. As you continue your journey, whatever path you choose in your life, I encourage you to be curious, to ask questions and to dig deeper so that you are an engaged learner. School shouldn’t simply be about just getting good grades or what you need to complete to get

a m f i P l E y r u o y from into the next stage of your life, but rather an opportunity to truly understand the inter-connectedness of knowledge and how it can be used to make the world a better place. I bid you good bye with the words of Albert Einstein “The impor tant thing is to not stop questioning.” Ajarn Mahesh Congratulations on your graduation and good luck in the future. บทความดีๆๆที่มอบให้ M.3 & M.6 Do not allow what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. You can reach your dreams faster by doing things you’re good at.” “อย่าปล่อยให้สิ่งที่คุณทำ�ไม่ได้ มา เป็ น อุ ป สรรคในการทำ � สิ่ ง ที่ คุ ณ ทำ � ได้ คุณสามารถเอื้อมคว้าความฝันให้เร็วขึ้น ได้ หากเลือกทำ�ในสิ่งที่คุณรัก” Ajarn Pang The time you spent here is an opportunity - a chance to make yourselves be fully prepared for the next big step you’ll going to face. The focused effort that you exerted to get the most out of that opportunity determines the number of opportunities you’re going to get in the future. Congratulations, you did yourselves a favor. Widen your opportunities and focus on what you dream of yourselves. Take calculated risks and shoot yourselves up high. Your success roots from deep within you. Ajarn Carlo To M3’s - Congratulations for your academic achievement. Keep the ‘flame burning’ and never give up on what you do. Thanks for your cooperation.

To M6’s - Seasons come and go. Time has come to move on to the next academic level. Each of you has a unique intellectual capacity of which used well will take you to greater heights. Thanks for your good cooperation. Congratulations!!! Ajarn Duncan To M3’s - There’s nothing in the world that you can’t do. Congratulations! To M6’s - Wishing you a wonderful future. Filled with all the happiness and success you deserve. Congratulations! We are all so proud of you. Ajarn Gig ご卒業おめでとうございます! Congratulations on your graduation! M3もM6も面白くてパワフルなクラスだったので、みんなが卒業してしまうのは、さみしいです。 I will miss you all because M.3 and M.6 students are funny and have so much energy. これからの幸運と成功をお祈りしています。 Wish you good luck and success in your future. Ajarn Tae Otani It’s that time again when our M.3 and M.6 students take that next step in the journey of their lives. I hope you take a good look around and bring to mind memories of the experiences you have shared during your time together in the English Program. These memories like precious gems should be treasured and taken out and pol-

ished often in the future for they are valuable beyond compare. As you prepare to embark upon this first leg of your journey into adulthood, remember that we are all so proud of each and every one of you. You are amazing young people with very bright futures. This will always be your home and you will always be welcomed back with open arms. You will be in my heart always and on my mind often. Remember – YOU ARE WHAT YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE. Love and good luck to each of you. Ajarn Mama First of all, congratulations M6! This is only the beginning. I wish you all success, happiness and peace of mind. Keep the EP flame burning wherever you go. Be good citizens of the world and never ever hesitate to ask us, your EP family, for help. Live and Learn! Hakuna Matata! Peace! And second, to my lovely children M3, thank you so much for three years of happy, terrible, wonderful, funny and amazing moments as your teacher and adviser. Improve not just your HEAD but also your HEART. A man of good character is more respectful than any man of superior intellect. On your next journey to upper secondary, things won’t be as easy as before but if you’re prepared and focused, there is nothing you can’t do. Keep your head high and your foot on the ground. I will surely miss you all. Keep in touch. LOVE YOU ALL, MY PRECIOUS CHILDREN! Ajarn Romeo

OUR EXCHANGE STUDENTS

Miss Kultida Kanorattananukul (Ked) Centenario, Neuquen, Argentina AFS (American Field Service) Exchange Program

Hola! My name is Kultida Kanokrattananukul or you can call me Ked. I am currently a student in M.5/14. I was an AFS (American Field Service) exchange student to Argentina in 2013-2014 While there, I lived in Centenario, Neuquen Province. It is a small town that doesn’t have anything so, if I wanted to go shopping in a department store I had to go to the city center about 30 minutes away. My host family is consisted of my host dad and mom, an older sister and 2 younger brothers. My host mom and dad love cooking very much, so I had yummy food to eat all year! I was really close to my sister and brothers, we always did everything together. My host family was really nice to me. Even though our cultures are very different, they always understood me and helped me with everything such as the language and they taught me about their culture as well. In Argentina, people love football, so I watched and cheered the football leagues with my host family every week - it was a very fun time! I attended is Colegio Virgen de Lujan. It’s a small school with only about 600 students. Schools in Argentina was easier than in Thailand. They study only half a day. It was at school where I met a lot of friends and learnt more Spanish quickly. Teachers were very kind. Whenever I didn’t understand something in school, they tried to teach me in English even though they couldn’t speak well. My friends were very friendly with me. They always invited me to go out together and also helped me in everyway possible. Besides football, Argentineans love to party!! Teenagers like to go to pubs very much, so they go every weekend. The teenagers who are 15 years old are allowed in pubs, so my friends and I went for 4-5 times. It was a very difficult time. I can never do this in Thailand. Argentineans don’t speak English, they speak Spanish (which is more difficult than English). I had never studied it before, so I had to start at level 0. I spent 6 months practicing Spanish until I was able to speak well. It was really difficult time for me because I had to live in a place so far from my family with a very different culture and I couldn’t understand anything about what they talked about or what the teachers taught. Sometimes I had to ask myself, “What am I doing here?” But this experience made me more responsible and grown up. After I got over that hard time, everything was very fun, amazing and unforgettable. It was the best experience I have ever done in my life and with memories that will last a lifetime. I hope that I can go back someday. Yes, being an exchange student isn’t easy, but if you open your mind to accept new things, to learn about another culture and to meet a lot of people from another part of the world, this will be the best experience of your life. You should try it!

Chananchida Maliwan (Kluayhom) Dubuque, Iowa, USA YFU (Youth for Understanding) Exchange Program My name is Chananchida Maliwan. I was an exchange student with Youth For Understanding (YFU) from Thailand. While in America, I lived in Dubuque, Iowa, a beautiful and peaceful place. I went to Hempstead High School where I met my teachers, friends, and a ton of delightful people! In summer, I traveled to New York, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. where the Statue of Liberty stands and looks out for the people who come to visit her. I also visited the White House where the president of the United States works. This was such an amazing time! Amazingly, the year passed, very quickly and it was time to go back to Thailand. It was really hard to leave my life in America, but my exchange year will never fade from my heart. I would like to say thank you to my family, teachers, friends, and everyone who always believed and stayed beside me. Since being an exchange student, my life has changed; my attitude on everything has become more positive. I learnt so many lessons and became much stronger. Don’t let your chance go by as an exchange student; Let’s make the world your home together!

Supakorn Athichalinthorn(Pond) Saga, Japan

YFU (Youth for Understanding) Exchange Program

Someone has said that if you want to travel aboard for the first time, Japan is not a good choice, because you will fall in love with the country. For me being an exchange student for 1 month really changed my life. I never thought that one day I would have the chance to be an exchange student to Japan and live how they live, eat how they eat and see what they see. I love Japanese comic books and anime but I have never studied Japanese before. That made me feel afraid because I had heard most Japanese’s English was not so good - when I was there, I found out that it was true. So I had to study Japanese really hard for 1 month. My host family was really wonderful. My host family had 8 members : my father, mother, grandmother, aunt, 2 sisters and 2 brothers. None of them could speak English, so for the first week it was really hard for me to understand what they were talking about or what they wanted me to do. I think partially because of this difficulty, my Japanese skills increased day by day and I could understand them more and more. I met many good friends at school who always helped me even though their English wasn’t very good. I still stay in contact with all of them every day. Being an exchange student doesn’t only mean it will change your experience in studying, but your whole life as well. Just like it did to me.

Tewit Danthanawit (Tor) Spray, Oregon, USA AYC (Amsam Youth Center) Intercultural Programs Thailand My name is Tewit Danthanawanit, but you can call me “Tor.” I’m going to tell you guys about my experiences in the United of America. Before I went there, I was worried a lot about what the American culture would be like and if my English was good enough to communicate. Sure enough, when I first got there, I didn’t understand anyone when they spoke to me and they didn’t understand me when I spoke to them. However, that all changed in a short time and I was able to communicate quite well. I studied at Spray High School in Spray, Oregon. My school was small (only 20 high school students and 30 kindergarten students). I think that most people wouldn’t like living in such a small town or studying in such a small school, but not me. I really liked it because I knew everyone and everyone knew me. The teachers had time to help each students with any problems they had, unlike big schools where teachers taught hundreds of students. Probably one of my favorite things about being there was that I participated in a lot of sports, for example: American football, basketball and track and field. I also did a lot of weight training which made me a lot stronger and not gained weight I was lucky enough to travel to several places while I was there: Sedona, the Grand Canyon, and Las Vegas. The place I liked the most was the Grand Canyon because of its view I had never seen such a beautiful view in my life. I would like to tell you guys that if your parents can support you and you have the opportunity to be an exchange student, go for it – it will be one of the best experiences of your life. I guarantee it. Celebrating Our 12 Years of Success

Yanawut Khamthana (Phet) Riverton, Wyoming, U.S.A. EF (Education First) Exchange Student Program

Hello! My name is Yanawut Khamthana My name is Yanawut Khamthana. You can call me Phet. I’m I’m an M.6 student student in the English Program at Ratchaborikanukroh School. I spent almost one year in the United States of America as an EF (Education First) foreign exchange student. During my exchange year, I stayed in Riverton, Wyoming, the least populated state, and went to Riverton High School, where I made lots of new friends from all over the world and participated in many activities like the RHS tennis team, Key Club by Kiwanis, FCCLA, and etc. While I was there, I got to stay with the most wonderful host family, the Hancocks, they took care of me very well. I got to experience the American holidays and culture, such as Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Halloween was very fun. I went to the main street, where the fair was held and we went trick-or-treating with my American friends. On Thanksgiving, my host family took me to their relative’s house in Idaho falls. I got to meet their huge family consisting of over 30 people and we watched American football and ate turkeys and pies together I travelled to so many fantastic places; namely Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Ohio, and Michigan. It was such a great memorable experience of my life, which I would call “the Best Year of my Life”.

Lisa Pircher

AFS (American Field Service) Exchange Program

Hello my crazy people!

My name is Lisa, I am from Italy and I will be staying in Dan Thap Tako, Thailand for one year, till May 2015! I am really enjoying my exchange year here. It is a perfect place to meet wonderful people, eat delicious food and study a really funny language. I am so happy that I am studying in the Ratchaborikanukroh School in the EP. Everybody is very helpful and in the mode of trying to speak with me. I really like it when people speak with me, because every person represents a door to another exciting world. I am looking forward to studying the language as soon as possible, so I can talk to people and understand them easier. I would like to see a lot of things in Thailand because for me, Thailand is one of the most interesting and beautiful places in the world. I want to learn as much as I can about the culture and lifestyles because there is a big difference between my home country and Thailand. However, the most important thing for me is to learn more about myself, grow up, get around the world and establish friendships in every part of this little world! Thank you guys to everyone who is part of my exciting experience, I am sure I will never forget it and you too!!

TANABATA DAY

EP celebrated its first Tana bata Festival last June 24, 2014 at the EP Meeting Hall. This was organized by the EP Japanese Classes headed by Sensei Tae and Sensei Pla. The festival was full of “tanoshi” activities such as Japanese Songs and Cover

Dancing, (短冊)Tanzaku (writing your wish) and Origami. They also have mini food stalls with “umai” food such as yakisoba, sushi, takoyaki and chocolate pudding. Tanabata, or the Star Festival, is well celebrated in Japan. The festival traces its origins to a legend that the Cowherd Star (Altair) and Weaver Star (Vega), lovers separated by the Milky Way, are allowed to meet just once a year--on the seventh day of the seventh month.

As my term as a head of the EP draws to a close due to my retirement in September 2015, I’d like to take this opportunity to offer a few reflections and a words of thanks. First, let me say I feel that it has truly been an honour to serve as the head of the English Program for the past 8 years. Unfortunately, at first I felt as though I was being coerced into quitting as the head of the English Gifted Program to take over here. Because it seemed to me at that time that I had no other choice than to accept the director’s decision, I decided to take an

analytical approach to the situation. So many complex questions arose that they set my head spinning - how to manage the program successfully, how to make the EP a place that offered its students an outstanding education, how to assure that the academics would develop and grow and earn us a worthy reputation, how to deal with disruptive students, etc. I started by studying both the weaknesses and the strengths of EP and found that I was about to face a hard time working here. After 8 years, I can say that thanks to my strong passion and leadership, I have succeeded in making the

Celebrating Our 12 Years of Success

EP into an institution that offers a sound balance of educational quality, a positive atmosphere, good facilities and service and disciplinary enforcement. I am so proud of all that the EP has accomplished during my stewardship. The following are some examples:  The EP academic achievement is demonstrated by the number of students winning various types of academic competitions at the provincial, regional and national levels, as well as by an increased number of students joining both short and long-term exchange programs and the high percentage of our students furthering their higher education in famous universities.  Our students’ cooperation and leadership is outstanding. Because it’s important that every student’s ideas are heard, we have our own student body government. Every year our students vote for the student body president who in turn appoints his or her team. I

work with the entire team supporting and guiding them as they develop their ideas and put them into action. I also work with all the students to help them develop their life and problem-solving skills and attitudes that help facilitate finding constructive and productive solutions to challenges they might face in the future. As a result of our annual camp activities, our students learn to respect each other, the

school and EP rules and regulations and learn to live together in peace and harmony. ď&#x192;ź Our teachers work in collaborative teams to develop the most effective teaching strategies to ensure our students meet the standards and concepts of the curriculum intellectually, socially and emotionally. I believe the good classroom and learning atmosphere reflects the quality of learning. Thus I have provided bulletin boards for teachers to display studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work, projectors, lap tops, e-boards, laboratories and a modern and

resourceful library. I encourage teachers to make use of available facilities and create a more relaxing atmosphere for the students. ď&#x192;ź The credit for the success that the EP has achieved is attributable to parents, students, teachers, staff members and the regular program teachers who have always supported our program. I would like to express my thanks to all of you for what you have done to help fulfill the passion I feel for this program and for making my time as the head of the EP memorable. I am so proud to have been head of the EP. A.Kalayanee Reunthong
