On Sunday, October 11, fourteen of our Model United Nations (MUN) members participated in the 28th annual Bangkok Model United Nations, the largest local MUN conference, at International School of Bangkok (ISB). Our students were among over a hundred students from various local international schools. A special keynote speaker from the CDC, Dr. Josh Mott, shared his perspective on the pandemic, as well as current statistics and work being done towards developing a vaccine.

The following committees were included in the conference: Security Council, Human Rights Council, Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), Disarmament and National Security (DISEC), UN4MUN, World Health Organization (WHO), International Court of Justice (ICJ), European Union (EU), and Sustainable Development committee. Topics discussed and debated included the question of the use and sharing of technology and data during a pandemic, improving humanitarian and disaster relief assistance, and sustainably developing public service systems in LEDCs. 

Some of our students had chair positions in committees, opportunities to develop communication and leadership skills, as they helped coach delegates through the process of discussing issues and finding solutions. Soumili Kar served as the chair of ECOSOC council, and Hrithi Bhattacharya and Riddhi Tandon (Class of 2021) served as the chairs for UN4MUN, a new style of committee that focuses on building consensus and focused on developing collaboration skills.

BKKMUN XXVIII was an enjoyable experience for our Wells delegation with new experiences, sharing of diverse perspectives, collaboration, and displays of global citizenship. Our delegates were given the chance and voice to shine and contribute to positive problem-solving and peacemaking in this sophisticated simulation of UN procedures and committees. This was also an especially unique conference, as not many in-person MUN conferences are happening currently in the world due to the pandemic situation. Nonetheless, the students were able to discuss and gain more knowledge about such pressing relevant issues whilst practicing strictly enforced social distancing measures. 

Special Mentions

Congratulations to Soumili Kar (Class of 2021) for winning the Best Chair award for her leadership of ECOSOC, and to Shreyaa Srivastava (Class of 2022) for receiving an honorable mention as a delegate in the UN4MUN committee.

Special thanks to International School of Bangkok (ISB) for hosting the conference this year, and for ensuring that social distancing measures were strictly adhered to throughout the event.

“A Showcase of Inspiration, Collaboration, Empowerment and Service”

On March 10th, our high school community gathered for a showcase and celebration of the culmination of the Class of 2020’s co-curricular learning journeys. The Class of 2020 has been actively involved in co-curricular clubs, sports, internships and various activities, which have all helped them develop valuable life skills, unique talents, and a clearer vision of their future directions after graduation.

Opening Performances

Teachers and students shared in the celebration of learning and accomplishments of our Senior Class, beginning with an introduction from our emcees, Nanthisha and Shaafi and special dance performances presented by our Grade 2 and Grade 5 classes. Some of the senior girls also did a Tik Tok dance compilation. This was followed by a CAS montage video, highlighting some of the favorite CAS experiences, made by Parina Pantari.

The Showcase

The Showcase featured an exhibition of student presentations, highlighting their favorite CAS experiences and memories. Guests were encouraged to chat with the members of the Senior class about the learning and lessons they gained outside of the classroom throughout high school. Some of our service clubs also hosted booths to sell goods and raise money for their respective causes.

Final Acts

Finally, there was a high-demand performance by the Breakdance club, which was a collaboration of teachers and high school students of different grade levels. Ari Haszlan performed a guitar song by Edward Sheeran that she has developed as one of her Creativity experiences.

Overall, the CAS Showcase was an uplifting experience to bring joy and celebration to the school atmosphere in these difficult times.

Congratulations to the Class of 2020
