SawadeeKa!

Well, I apologise for not getting any pictures up sooner - it has been a very busy couple of days! We arrived safely in Bangkok and enjoyed getting some much needed sleep in our fabulous Hotel Room. Then, it was off to Pattaya by bus for 2 hours to join our friends at The Regent's School.

Although we are a full 10 hours later than Bermuda, we haven't fallen asleep walking yet! Today, the students are joining their year group classes after presenting to the Years 7, 8 and 9 at their Assembly. The B.H.S. teachers are enjoying their day of touring Pattaya, while I have arranged to meet with several people at The Regent's School to discuss ideas for B.H.S.'s continued growth as a Round Square school.

They are doing some incredible things here as the Round Square I.D.E.A.L.S. run as a philosophy straight throughout their school - from Primary One to I.B.2! They get plenty of teacher support, too, as developing the Round Square I.D.E.A.L.S. is a large part of each teacher's Performance Appraisal...incredible!

Well, I have to go now as lunch is in a few minutes in their Cafeteria.

Glad to hear you arrived safely.

I wasn't there the first time but I agree with Tia. I'm jealous too. Keep the posts going and I will check back again soon.

Hopefully you guys will come back with lots of great ideas for our school from what you learn at the Regent's school. Say hi to Paul for me too.

Good luck everyone!
