What a joyful morning at our EY House Music Jam! 🎶✨

Our Early Years students came together to sing, dance, and celebrate music as a community, joined by a live band from our talented Elementary Music teachers.

The room was filled with energy, excitement, and plenty of smiles as students shared their love of music with friends across all EY Houses. Moments like these continue to strengthen connection, confidence, and joy through shared experiences and performance.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this such a fun and memorable event! 🎤🥁🎸

Congratulations to Disney in year 9 for being selected to compete at the Thailand Select Women’s Division B Volleyball Championship 2026.

As the first NIST Falcons volleyball athlete selected by Bangkok Volleyball Academy, Disney competed alongside elite players from across Thailand, gaining valuable experience at the national level. Her dedication, commitment, and continued growth reflect the spirit of the Falcons community both on and off the court.

We are proud of this outstanding achievement and look forward to seeing what comes next. 💙🏐.

Our Year 3 Mandarin B students completely stole the show with their creative performances inspired by The Three Little Pigs! 🐷✨

As part of their recent “Home and Space” unit, students wrote and performed their own unique versions of the classic story, showcasing growing confidence in Mandarin through speaking, storytelling, and expressive performance.

From designing imaginative homes to bringing characters to life on stage, our young learners demonstrated creativity, collaboration, and just how engaging language learning can be.

A huge thank you to all the parents who joined us to support the performance, and congratulations to our talented students! 👏

Democracy in action 💻🗳️

As part of their “Governments Rule!” Unit of Inquiry, Year 5 students explored how democratic systems work by appointing class representatives to collaborate, debate, and create a shared ‘Y5 Digital Rights & Responsibilities Charter’.

The student-led charter will guide their use of technology during the upcoming 5-week iPad home trial, supporting students in becoming principled, balanced, and empowered digital citizens both at school and at home.

To build strong foundations, students also participated in interactive tech rotations focused on Digital Citizenship, Digital Wellbeing, and creative digital production through tools such as Canva and Stop Motion.

Last week, NIST was delighted to welcome four outstanding students from the Outstanding Development Opportunity Scholarship, ODOS, programme to our campus 🌟

Throughout the week, these inspiring young scholars experienced life within our international learning community, exploring classrooms, connecting with peers and teachers, and embracing new opportunities for growth and discovery.

Supported by the Equitable Education Fund, EEF, the ODOS programme creates transformative opportunities for talented STEM students across Thailand, empowering them to pursue their dreams on a global stage.

Thank you for being part of our community this week, and we wish you continued success in all that lies ahead ✨

Challenge accepted 💥🌊🏃‍♂️🚴‍♀️

Across the Year 4 Biathlon, Year 5 Adventurethon, and Year 6 Triathlon, students embraced varying levels of challenge while developing resilience, strategic thinking, self-management, and goal-setting skills along the way.

From navigating transitions to pushing through tough moments, it was fantastic to see students support one another and rise to the occasion throughout each event. The NISTie spirit was on full display, both on land and in the water.

Our Early Years students are exploring creativity, expression, and design through their current Unit of Inquiry, A Hundred Languages, under the transdisciplinary theme How We Express Ourselves. 🌱✨

Across the EY Makerspace, students are engaging in open inquiry and using the Design Thinking process to explore a big question: How do we grow our EY garden?

Through hands-on learning experiences, students are developing new skills in cutting, building, attaching, and model-making while expressing ideas through creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving.

It is wonderful to see our youngest learners confidently exploring the many ways we can communicate and create.

🕺 Let’s Boogie! 💃

Our Year 4 students recently wrapped up their final Disco Dance performances as part of their PHE learning.

Throughout the unit, students explored how to create, structure, and combine movement sequences through collaborative activities and creative choreography approaches. Along the way, they developed confidence, creativity, cooperation, and performance skills while bringing energy and enthusiasm to every routine.

Well done to all students for their fantastic performances and teamwork!

Our Year 2 Mandarin B students recently took the stage for a joyful Storytelling Showcase, sharing their language growth through a series of animal-themed performances. 🐻✨

As part of their language acquisition unit, students explored vocabulary, sentence structures, and creative expression through storytelling and performance.

The showcase featured classic storytelling, a student-adapted creative twist on Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, and an interactive finale created on the spot with parents.

It was wonderful to see students’ confidence and enthusiasm shine throughout the performances. Thank you to all parents for your continued support and participation.
