The Wells School Chonburi students visited the Siri Park and Zoo on Wednesday, March 6th. The eager students enjoyed a day filled with new experiences and exciting things to see. This day created a great opportunity for our students to try new things, be brave and resilient, and practice their social skills in new environments.

The Wells Chonburi students enjoyed a fun bus ride to the park and hopped off to start their adventure. The staff at the park guided our students through the different activities and sights. The students cheered on the piglets at the pig races. They watched the crocodiles during feeding time. The brave students held the pole with meat to dangle it over the crocodiles while the other students enjoyed the surprise as the crocodiles snapped for their food. Another fun activity had the students riding the ponies. 

The students moved on to a fourth activity that many of them thought the best. The Wells students were running around the rabbit pen feeding the rabbits. And lastly, the K3s painted canvas bags as a souvenir of an eventful day. After all the excitement, our tired students returned to school after a memorable day. Overall, the day provided valuable learning opportunities with hands-on activities and engaging in relevant conversations with the guides and each other.

Their first stop was the planetarium, where they watched an amazing show projected onto the dome ceiling. Looking up at the stars, they felt inspired and learned more about space. The students were most interested in learning about the constellations and future space travel. 

After the planetarium, they visited the Science Center Exhibition Hall. Here, they found a wide range of interesting things, like interactive exhibits and hands-on experiments. They were amazed by human inventions and the complexities of nature. The students were active and eager to learn throughout the trip. It increased their knowledge of science and made them more curious about the world.

Now that their trip is over, the students are grateful for the chance to learn about the universe and thank the Science Center staff for creating such a meaningful experience. With new knowledge and excitement, they can’t wait to explore more. They’ll always remember this adventure and continue to value science as they go back to school.

The middle school students at �ۿ۴�ý Chonburi arrived at school early on the Saturday morning of January 22nd. Our middle school teachers held a one-day workshop on academic integrity, and most of our students attended. The aim was to foster honesty and ethical behavior in the students’ research and academic writing. 

Paraphrasing Instead of Plagiarism 

The workshop was divided into various components, including plagiarism, citations and referencing, time management, and digital citizenship, and the students were eager to get started. Firstly, our students discussed our school’s academic integrity policy and unpacked what it focused on. The students analyzed the forms of plagiarism and what the consequences are. Then, they learned about and practiced how to paraphrase. 

Finding References 

After a break, the students delved into citations and referencing research. These techniques are valuable for future research and academic writing. Our middle school students are now better equipped to write quality papers. They are more prepared for their path to university. 

Digital Citizenship and Social Media 

Lastly, our students spent their last hour solving scenarios about digital citizenship. Our students learned about keeping their information safe and private, being kind online and on social media, and how to protect themselves from the dangers of social media.

By instilling the principles of academic integrity, we are laying the foundation for a future generation of leaders. These students will approach challenges with integrity, contribute ethically to society, and serve as role models for others. Initiatives like these contribute to a brighter and more principled future. We aim to foster academic integrity into our school culture to build principled and responsible citizens at �ۿ۴�ý – Chonburi.
