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

ANNUAL PARENT SURVEY AND MEDICAL INFORMATION

The annual Parent Survey and a new Medical Information Form will be sent to all parents by email on Friday 15 June and in hard copy on Monday 18 June.

Parent Survey

In order to constantly review what we do and how we do it, and how we can improve our service to you and your children, we feel strongly that your input is essential, and we will continue to conduct an annual parent survey. Please complete the Windsor Park Campus Parents? Survey form attached to reflect your honest opinion.

?Medical Form

It is vital that we keep the medical records of your children fully up to date, and would be grateful if you could also complete the Medical Information Form also attached. We will obviously treat all this information in the strictest confidence, and will be updating our database over the summer break. This is an opportunity not just to clarify the correct medical treatment necessary in the case of an emergency, but also a chance to update your contact details.

Both forms may be completed in English or Thai, and either in hard copy or via email.

Please return the hard copies to your child’s Form Tutor OR complete the emailed copies online, save and attach them to your email reply.

Thank you very much for your kind cooperation
