Regents goes cross-country By Tom Hart, Head of Secondary PE Thursday 11th February saw the second ESAC Cross Country competition take place at ISE. Regents Lions were looking to emulate the successful performance from the St Andrews competition 2 weeks before. The ISE course was a tough challenge for our young athletes, incorporating a mixture of up-hill and down-hill sections and it posed a real physical challenge to the students, who worked hard and showed great determination to complete the course. Regents Lions squad boasted over 50 students from Year 4 to Year 11 and the Physical Education Department but like to take this opportunity to congratulate all of our young runners.
GCSE Trekking By Tom Hart, Head of Secondary PE
Reaching new heights in GCSE PE On Friday 26th February five of our Year 11 GCSE PE students, Astu, Ben, Connor, Mirabell, and Seb travelled up to Khao Yai National Park to complete the GCSE trekking assessment accompanied by Miss Clapham, International Award Assistant Instructor and Mr Hart, Head of Secondary PE. The group trekked for a little over 25 kilometres during the course of two days and wild camped by the side of a riverwhich is something that none of the students had every
experienced before. The expedition was a great success and the students performed fantastically. Congratulations to the students involved and a big thank you to Miss Clapham for accompanying the students and to Mr Williams, Head of Outdoor Education and Instructor for the International Award for supporting the students in their assessment preparation and completion.

House Competitions By Roslyn McConnell, Director of Sport A quick update on the House Competitions so far this term‌ Theatre Sports led by the Drama Department entertained our students and staff every lunchtime throughout the week. It was very enjoyable with students having to use their drama skills to improvise and create scenarios from props given by Mr Thomas. It was a very close contest between the Houses but Fire (Red) House were the overall winners. Inter-House Basketball pool games were held during PE lessons with the finals for each year group being contested during lunchtimes. Again, each year group and house fought well in each game but like in all sports there has to be an overall winner. The 2016 Basketball House Champions are Earth (Green) House.
Finally, our House Dance competition concluded our International Day celebrations and it was a fantastic afternoon of performance on the main stage. Every one of the dancers excelled in rhythm and timing and it was great to see staff joining in with the occasion. The final decision came down to a dance-off between Water (Blue) House and Earth (Green) House, as it was such a close competition but the winning House was Water (Blue) House. Congratulations to all the winning Houses and thank you to all the students and staff who have participated or organised the House competitions this year so far. Look out for the House Debates, Football and Songkran competitions where you have the chance to get involved this next half term‌

Regents Annual House Dance Competition, 2016 By Rhiannon Hobson, Round Square Assistant
A dance-off brings victory for Blue House To end a wonderful International Day 2016, students and teachers alike took part in the Regents Annual House Dance Competition. The weeks leading up to the final day of term and International Day, saw Houses using any spare time they had to perfect their dancing numbers! The standard of dance entries was particularly high this year and each House brought something different to the table; from teachers doing the ‘Worm’ (Mr Tom Hart) to cross dressing (by Mr Courlander), all in all, there was serious sass and the dancers brought their ‘A’ game to the competition! It was a victory for Blue House after a nerve wrecking dance off with the Greens but ultimately the afternoon was enjoyed by all!
