Shrewsbury hosted the BISAC Gymnastics Championships 2010 on the weekend of the 5-6th June. More than 300 gymnasts from six international schools participated in this highly competitive event.

We had six sessions of gymnastics ranging from Level 1 girls through to level 5 boys throughout the two-day event.

The standard of gymnastics has improved enormously over the last six years in Bangkok and the performances from all gymnasts were superb. The team representing Shrewsbury competed with skill and flare and produced some outstanding performances.

Many of our gymnasts also achieved many personal best scores and full event results can be viewed on our website and on StudyWiz. Well done to both our boys and girls teams who continue to prove themselves as one of the leading gymnastics teams in Thailand.

U17 Girls celebrate BISAC victory

Shrewsbury’s U17 Girls Basketball team put on a storming performance and emerged as champions at the end-of-season BISAC tournament held at ISB on 29th-30th January.
Our players put on a wonderful display of fast-break basketball and defeated all opponents by an average of 15 points.
The mighty Storm blew past RISS, ICS, ISB and ASB, setting up a final with Harrow. After a slow start the Storm hit with a vengeance and won the game 25-15.
It was certainly a team effort but particular stand outs were Mooky (12SH) and Lee (11AN). Mooky, who is now a Team Shrewsbury elite athlete, has been playing basketball at Shrewsbury for more than six years now and she shows a tremendous speed around the court. Mooky was the top scorer, and was greatly supported by the talented Lee. Pink (12GP) & Bee (12PR) also displayed some sound shooting. All team members showed a real sense of team spirit and dominated throughout all their games.
The team are : Mooky, Bee, Pink, Bowling 12GP, Eirika 12SH, Mina 12JG, Lee, Gift 11ED, Aim 11AN, Por 10DA, Mook 10SR, Beaut 10SR, Praew 10SR, Palm 10CM, Am 9KH, Ploy 9KH, Net 9MT, Tammy 9LF.
Coach P-J. Rozario

Our golf team excelled themselves at the FOBISSEA Harrow Invitational at Bangkok Golf Club, Patumthani, recently carrying off the first-team honour and a clutch of other medals.

The team, which includes four Team Shrewsbury elite athlete members - Jan, Jessica, Jackie and Akkarinth – played against students from Nepal, Jakarta, Phuket and International schools around Bangkok.

The Shrewsbury Storm team delivered a truly impressive performance winning the team championship by 21 strokes!

The individual results were also pleasing, Jessica won the senior girls championship with 75-75, Jan was in second place with 77-76 and Jackie came in fourth with 86-75.

As for the senior boys championship, Akkarinth had a great second day which placed him in second at 79-74 and Pan came in third with 76-78.

Muka, our only player playing in the junior championship, finished tied for first with 80-83 but lost the countback and took home the silver medal plus a long-drive award. Also, Jessica and Jackie each got a nearest to pin award on the par 3s.

At the end of the day, the Shrewsbury Storm team took the team winner’s medal, 2 nearest to pin awards, a long-drive award and a total of 9 medals.

Golf team has success off to a tee!

LAST weekend our golf team comprising of Jackie, Pan, Jan, Muka, Jessica, Akarinth and coach Mr Michael competed in the SEASAC golf invitational at Sawang Golf Resort in Petchburi

Teams from Shanghai, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore were there with their top golfers. All competitors teed off from the same markers and played the same gross stable-ford format.

In the over 15 age group, Jessica came 2nd with six over par and 66 points. In the U15 group, Jan and Jackie tied for first place at 10 over par and 62 points. After a sudden death playoff, Jan came out tops after sinking a 12m birdie putt. Shrewsbury also won the team event and two nearest-the-pin prizes.

Besides being great golfers and fine ambassadors for the school, it was noted that our students were the only ones to do their homework after they had finished their game!

OUR gymnasts travelled to Singapore last weekend to compete in the SEASAC Gymnastics Championships hosted by United World College.
This was one of the top competitions of the year with international schools and club teams from across South East Asia coming together to compete for the reigning titles in each age group and level
Our gymnasts had been training hard over the term to peak at this event and nerves were running high when we arrived in Singapore on Friday morning for the start of three days of competition.
Friday saw our Level 4 and Level 5 girls pushing the boundaries on skill, technique and confidence throughout the four Olympic apparatus.
It was a tough competition and the beam was not a friendly piece of equipment for our girls—when one falls they all fall! However, with fantastic floor and bar routines we managed to achieve Runner up in the Level 4 Team competition and Bobbi achieved 5th and Tie 6th place overall. Great results after a rocky start on beam!
Sayaka, who is in Level 5, competed exceptionally well on three apparatus and before going to beam was ranked second overall, however, after three falls she was pushed back to 6th place which was still a great result against the best in South East Asia.
On Saturday our boys came out in a storm with the Level 2 Level 3 and Level 4 teams all finishing runners up,
In the individual competitions,
Lucas (L2) came 4th and Jamie (L4) finished 2nd place overall. The boys competition was against club gymnasts so it clearly proved our ranking as one of the best teams in the region.
On Saturday our Level 3 girls competed with determination and energy. They finished runners up in the team competition only 0.4 points behind UWC.
Gi Gi was the overall individual winner and blew all competitors away with her skill and talent. Yuka achieved 5th place in the individual event.
Sunday saw our Level 4 and Level 5 girls compete in the finals of the individual apparatus competition:

Summary:
