For this day, secondary students may dress in national costume (of their own or any other country), whether they wish to compete in the Fashion Show or not, and change back into school uniform after the event. If they choose not to wear a national costume, they must be in normal school uniform.

Bromsgrove?s top 4 golfers are heading to the WORLD SCHOOLS GOLF CHALLENGE between 31 March and 5 April in Hua Hin to compete for ?this very prestigious title, and we are very pleased to announce that they will be sponsored by King Power.

This is the first time we have entered this competition and as it is being held for the first time in Thailand it is an opportunity too good to miss. In previous years it has been held in South Africa, New Zealand and Australia, with teams from around the globe competing.

The BIST team of Tap (Year 13), Bright (Year 12), Mark and Liz (both Year 11) will be joined by Ms Glover and Mr Tak. There will be more news on this event in the coming weeks but the preparations by the players have begun. We wish them the very best of luck at this event and know that the BIST community will be supporting them all the way!

Bromsgrove will host the International Schools Junior Golf Championship at the President Golf Club on 3 February 2013.

Final Result

From Friday 12th to Monday 15th October, Bromsgrove International School Thailand (BIST) hosted a group of teachers and other delegates from Cheng-Gong Elementary School in Taiwan.

They came to look at BIST as a result of the excellent reputation we have for dealing with students from a wide variety of different countries and cultures. They landed and Friday and with a brief stop off at the hotel came straight into school. Principal, Mr Lai, and the nine other guests were very impressed with the facilities and the friendly welcoming atmosphere of the staff and students.
They were particularly impressed with the boarding facilities. The party were entertained and spent the weekend exploring Bangkok with visits to the Grand Palace, shopping, the local hospital and the Thai Cultural Centre.
On the Monday they returned to school and were able to observe classroom teaching. We have high hopes that we will soon see students from Cheng-Gong coming to BIST to study with us.
Overall, the visit was a huge success and our visitors went home very happy with what they had seen.

Dear Parents

As you may be aware, a protest at the golf club led to some problems with access to the school today.We have spoken with the protestors and they have assured us that there will be no problem in getting in and out of the entrance on Friday. To allow for a speedy exit from school tomorrow, I ask all parents to collect their children as close to 3pm as possible. We will finish lessons at 2.50pm to assist this. It may be helpful for weekly boarders to also be collected at this time. We hope for a speedy end to the dispute that has nothing to do with the school.

Regards,

Steve Challoner
HEADMASTER
