Every new beginning carries a certain kind of energy, and Day 1 of our BFITS Thailand Welcome Orientation and Training is always a reminder of that 🌟 It is the moment where introductions become connections, where questions begin to find direction, and where a new group of teachers officially steps into the start of something important.

Today was about more than simply beginning a schedule. It was about creating the first layer of support, clarity, and readiness that our teachers will carry with them throughout the week and into the school year ahead 🧡 We are happy to welcome this first batch to BFITS, and I am looking forward to seeing them continue to grow into their role in the days to come.

Today is the day 🌟 As we officially begin welcoming our bright new teachers for this year’s BFITS Welcome Orientation and Training, we are also pleased to introduce Heather Roy as our Training Manager, joining Assistant Director Giselle Alano in leading this important week ahead.

From today onward, we’ll be sharing moments, updates, and highlights from our first batch of training as we welcome new faces to the BFITS family, build new connections, and set the tone for another exciting school year in Thailand 🚀
