The Thai Department at Wells On Nut Campus organized a Songkran Festival at school this year to commemorate Thai culture. Because of the Covid-19 situation, we did not host typical Songkran activities such as pouring water onto the image of the Buddha, pouring water over elder’s hands and asking for blessings, or splashing water.

Instead, the Thai Department organized some more appropriate activities and invited all teachers and students to wear Thai clothes or colorful Songkran shirts, create colorful bulletin boards, play Thai games and various classroom activities.

This created a bright and warm atmosphere in the school. The teachers and students had fun engaging in the activities which reflect Thailand’s identity and culture.

On behalf of 扣扣传媒, the Thai Department wishes everyone in the school community a happy and safe Songkran this year!

On March 31, 2021, the Thai department organized a Songkran ceremony at Wells On Nut Campus.聽The main activity was the Thai tradition of offering water from students to teachers, known as the Rod Nam Dam Hua ceremony. In this tradition, young people, in this case our students, pour water over the hands of their revered elders and ask for a blessing.

In honor of this respected tradition and the Thai New Year, many students and teachers also wore Thai traditional outfits or typical Songkran flower shirts. The event was an enjoyable one to bring in the new year and start everyone on their Songkran break.

On Friday, March 30, our school community – administration, teachers, students, and parents – gathered to celebrate the 2018 Sonkgran Thai New Year Festival at our On Nut Campus, hosted by the Thai Department. Sonkgran is a very important holiday in Thailand, in which Thai traditions are preserved and water is used as a symbol of cleansing and starting anew to welcome in the new year.

Everyone wore Thai traditional dress of colorful flowered shirts in typical Songkran fashion. A group of our high school students showcased a Thai dance performance and others honored the tradition of ‘Rot Nam Dam Hua’, a traditional way to celebrate with one’s elders and ask for blessings. The day was filled with other water-themed activities for our students and everyone had an enjoyable time!

Wells wishes all families and community members a Happy Songkran and a wonderful start to the Thai new year!
