Responsibility
SHC Principle's BlogTogether we begin our 2023-24 academic year focusing on the value of ‘Responsibility,’ An important value that lies at the very heart of our school community.
At the start of the school year, we proudly introduced our Heads of School, House Captains, Student Councils, and Sports Captains. These remarkable young leaders are entrusted with significant responsibilities, representing the voices of their peers as well as leading the inspiring initiatives that make our student-led school community thrive.
We also observed the International Day of Peace on 21st September. Peace is not just a concept; it’s a responsibility that we all share towards humanity. On this day, we dressed up in blue and white, symbols of peace and tranquillity, and during our assembly, we engaged in meaningful discussions and activities centred around fostering peace in our school, the wider community here and in our world.
Our Poetry Club proudly presents their ‘Peace Poem’!
Throughout our campus, we celebrated the cherished Thai tradition of Wai Kru with great reverence in the first month of term one. This tradition provides our students with a heartfelt opportunity to express their respect and gratitude to teachers. Teachers who nurture young minds with care and dedication, shoulder a tremendous responsibility, for they impart not only knowledge but also life skills that will shape our students’ journeys for years to come.
For parents, we started the year with a meeting of our Shrewsbury Parents (SP) Committee and Class Representatives. Parents bear the responsibility for the well-being of their children both within the school and beyond, and by working collaboratively with the school, we can ensure that all our students are in capable, caring hands.
This year, we are also delighted to be celebrating the 20th anniversary of Shrewsbury Bangkok. Originally founded in 2003 at our Riverside Campus and expanding to our City Campus in 2018. We take our responsibilities across our ‘One school, Two Campuses’ very seriously and remain highly committed to our mission and values, which are encapsulated in the phrase ‘Inspiring Exceptional People’. Our values, ‘Outstanding Opportunities’, ‘Care and Compassion’, and ‘Reflection and Renewal’, continue to firmly shape our journey into the future.
Responsibility is more than just a value; it’s an important cornerstone underpinning our shared journey.
