- AISB Hosts Successful Chess Without Borders Tournament 2024
On Saturday, March 9th, 2024, AISB hosted our 4th Chess Without Borders Tournament. Seventy-three competitors ranging in age from 5 years up to about 16 years tested their chess skills against enthusiasts from other schools. Of the 73 competitors, 22 were from AISB, and quite a few AISB students finished on the podium, receiving medals or trophies. In fact, two of our students, Ayaan and Ko, won their respective divisions. AISB also added to our chess trophy collection by winning not one but two trophies for the school: Most Competitors and Most Points Scored (based on our top three performers). All the children were clearly enjoying themselves, even though it was a long 8-hour day on a Saturday. Many people from both campuses contributed their time to this event—Mr. Brenton, Miss Arvie (the AISB Chess coordinator), the admin teams of Soi 20 and Soi 31, and numerous others. I am sure the parents and children of AISB were very appreciative of the efforts of all those involved. I am sure many of the participants are looking forward to Chess without Borders 5. See you then.
- Kindergarten Swimming Lesson
Learning to swim with confidence at an early age helps to instill meaningful and continuing values in children such as determination, courage and motivation.This important lifelong skill helps each child to increase their self-confidence, knowledge around daily safety practices and physical dexterity. It's also a great way for the children to cool down in the hot Thailand weather, whilst having the maximum amount of fun, in a safe and caring environment. They are able to increase their lung capacity by learning how to hold their breath under water and have the opportunity to dive and swim like sharks and mermaids to retrieve objects, whilst strengthening their flexibility, coordination and muscle strength. These are meaningful skills and personal traits that are useful both in and out of the water and our Kindergarten group are prime, shining examples of the many benefits that swimming at an early age offers.
