“My time at Shrewsbury, from Early Years to Sixth Form, has greatly influenced me in a variety of ways. I was able to develop my interests and talents in a supportive community, which enabled me to find my passions and strengths through all the sporting events and musical stages I had gone through. The wide variety of options gave me a well-rounded foundation for success in both my academic and personal life. In addition, the connections I have formed at Shrewsbury have had a significant influence on my life, teaching me the importance of connection, empathy and teamwork. My time at Shrewsbury has given me the experiences, knowledge and abilities I need to navigate through life after I leave the school gates and venture into the new chapter of my life as a university student.
My favourite aspect of Shrewsbury is that it has given me a lot of opportunities outside of the classroom. One of the highlights of my school experience at Shrewsbury International school was the numerous sporting events I was able to take part in, which took place all around Thailand, and luckily enough, in Singapore. Participating in these events helped me improve my physical abilities while also teaching me priceless lessons about sportsmanship, perseverance and collaboration. I will never forget the friendships I made with my teammates and the excitement I felt when I represented my school in competitions, whether they were local or elsewhere. I will always cherish these moments since they gave me a lifetime passion for sports, physical activity and the value of challenging oneself.”
