AISB Secondary students participated in the Model United Nations (MUN), an incredible platform for learning about global diplomacy, leadership, and critical thinking. Model United Nations (MUN) is an educational simulation of the United Nations where students role-play as diplomats representing various countries to debate and negotiate global issues. It engages hundreds of thousands of students annually, helping them understand the principles and functioning of the UN. The goal of MUN is to provide an interactive educational experience that enhances public speaking, critical thinking, negotiation, and leadership skills while fostering a better understanding of international relations and diplomacy. It aims to create informed global citizens who comprehend the impact of national decisions on regional and global politics.  The conference proved to be an exceptional success for our students, who not only showcased their skills but also achieved notable recognition, reflecting the academic excellence and leadership that define AISB. Outstanding Achievements AISB's first MUN conference was very successful. All of the students did quite well and we even won some awards. Chloe in Y9 Litchfield and Samridh in Y10 Tarra Bulga were awarded Best Position Paper  for their respective committees. Additionally, Grace in Y9 Maria was recognized on the event's Instagram page for her standout performance, highlighting the calibre of AISB’s representatives. Student Reflection - Samridh, Y10 Tarra Bulga Participating in Model United Nations (MUN) was an incredibly fun opportunity that gave me valuable experience and a deeper understanding of the United Nations and diplomatic relations of states. It was my first-time and I represented France in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) which I first thought to be difficult but I was really excited. From the moment we began the session, the formal atmosphere was both exciting and overwhelming as I initially felt nervous and underprepared, as time passed by I got more confident and comfortable which makes me look forward to my next MUN conference. As the delegate of France, I got a chance to interact with other states on significant global issues including nuclear proliferation and cybersecurity threats. This broadened my knowledge on other states’ stances and actions and allowed me to understand the complexity of this conference due to numerous views that have to be considered during the decision-making and resolution drafting process. I was also able to meet many new people and make new friends through this conference. Drafting and debating resolutions with other delegates was quite challenging but also very interesting. Through it, I understood the difficulty of getting international cooperation and maintaining peace and security in a world with diverse and conflicting stances. There were many people who excelled in many aspects and were better than me which made me and my competitiveness feel full of enthusiasm and energy. I particularly enjoyed debating the most as making strong arguments quickly and effectively under time pressure was constantly improving my skills. The more I participated in every discussion, the better my ability to think and formulate arguments got. The experience also made me realise the importance of finding common ground and the chaos in attempting to find it. One of the best moments for me was winning the Best Position Paper award as it felt like quite an achievement for my first-time in MUN. However, I wanted to win the Best Delegate award. But, I realised through this conference the aspects that I need to improve such as my quality of speech and my public speaking skills which I believe can be improved through practice and confidence. Next time, getting the Best Delegate award wouldn't be a difficult challenge. Overall, my first MUN experience was really wonderful and fun. It improved many of my skills and was really impactful. I already look forward to my next conference for more challenges and opportunities like this. We are incredibly proud of our students for their accomplishments and the dedication they demonstrated in representing AISB on such a prestigious platform. Through their interactions with peers from diverse backgrounds, they developed essential skills that will shape them as future global leaders. This event is a stepping stone toward even greater opportunities, and we are excited to support our students in their future MUN journeys and beyond.

Students from Sacred Heart School Geeveston, Tasmania, and the Australian International School Bangkok (AISB) will compete in a groundbreaking online chess tournament on  Wednesday, 20th November 2024 at 12:30 pm AEDT (8:30am Bangkok time). The event bridges over 7,500 kilometres, connecting young chess players through digital technology. The match unites two contrasting worlds: AISB's bustling Southeast Asian metropolis of 15 million people and Sacred Heart's serene setting in Tasmania's Huon Valley, a region known for its apple orchards and pristine wilderness. While their environments differ dramatically, both schools follow the Australian curriculum and share a strong chess culture fostered by dedicated teachers who recognise the game's educational value. "Chess is much more than just a game – it's a powerful educational tool that transforms how our students think and learn," says Jacob Wootten from Sacred Heart. "When children engage with chess, they develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that directly translate to improved performance in subjects like Mathematics. We've seen firsthand how it builds patience, resilience, and memory while teaching students to plan ahead and consider consequences." Sacred Heart recently celebrated its first annual 'Chess Olympics,' which saw 45 students compete across different year levels. The term-long competition combined learning with friendly rivalry, showcasing both strategic thinking and sportsmanship, with strong community support from over 100 spectators at the finals. At AISB, the chess program has flourished since the establishment of its first Chess Club in 2010. Under the guidance of John Chambers, the school implemented a Chess Ladder system to encourage friendly competition. AISB's commitment to chess has led to numerous achievements, including a third-place division finish at the prestigious Harrow International School tournament in 2012, competing against 300 players from across Southeast Asia. The school's 'Chess Player of the Month' competition, initiated in 2015, has become a cornerstone of AISB's chess culture. Held on the last Saturday of each month, it regularly attracts 30-40 participants and has inspired students to compete in tournaments throughout Bangkok. Each school will field a team of 10 players, including Charlie Waites, a former AISB student who now attends Sacred Heart. The tournament will follow standard international chess rules, and will be live-streamed to both school communities. "This international chess match represents more than just competition – it's an opportunity for cultural exchange and learning," says John Chambers, AISB Chess Coordinator . "Through chess, we're building bridges between rural Tasmania and urban Bangkok, showing our students that they're part of a global community." The public can follow the tournament online through AISB’s social media channel, https://www.instagram.com/australianisb/?hl=en . Results will be announced immediately following the completion of all matches, expected around 2:00pm AEDT.

Below, you’ll find answers to frequently asked questions to help you and your family feel fully informed and engaged with this new chapter of AISB. Frequently Asked Questions: When will the new brand and logo come into effect? As of 1st November, we will commence our transition period to adopt our new brand and logo. We will start with updating our marketing materials and commence processing future orders from our suppliers using the new logo. Over the next 12-18 months, we will transition school assets to the new logo.  Why did we change the school logo? As AISB has grown and evolved over the past two decades, it became essential for our brand to reflect our forward-looking vision while honoring our heritage. The new logo embodies our modern approach to education, symbolising the core values that will guide us into the future. This change is a testament to our commitment to innovation and excellence, while still celebrating the strong connection between our Australian and Thai roots.

We will process a new order for uniforms with the updated logo for the new academic year (Term 1 2025) or when we run out of stock for our current uniform inventory. Students will be permitted to continue wearing uniforms with our legacy logo until they are required to change uniforms as per their year level (e.g when students grow out of current uniforms or progress into future year groups etc).  What do I need to do?  No action is required from our parents or students. There will be minimal impact and disruption to your child’s day-to-day school experience. Over the next 12-18 months you may notice minor changes to our signage, digital communications and marketing/communications materials.
