The Greater Bangkok Fair on Thursday was a smashing success! Thank you to all the students and parents who attended. It was a vibrant and exciting atmosphere and so wonderful to have university representatives back on campus with students. Please remember to check out the future visits on campus and virtually.
Senior Seminar on Wednesday was spent working with grade 12 students regarding transcript requests, filling out applications, researching universities and working on essays. The counselors emphasized the deadlines that are coming up very quickly. The next Senior Seminar will be in October.
The first Junior Seminar will be next week on Tuesday, 27 September. Counselors will introduce the students to several activities for students to begin their self reflection that will lead into the university search process.
Junior University Family Night will be next week on Wednesday, 28 September at 6:30 PM in the Chevron. The university counselors look forward to kicking off the university reflection, search and application process for the class of 2024.
