In May 2024 we welcomed back over 300 students in our PHBGTU Primary Grade English classes for the new school year, refreshed and energised after the Songkran (Thai new year) break. Thanks to your generosity, they have come back to an abundance of learning and fun both inside and outside the classroom. Our after-school Coconut Club is adored by the 250 disadvantaged children who call the school home during term time. The club provides extra-curricular opportunities to foster their personal development, nurture new interests and hobbies and to dream big about their futures!
When it comes to learning in the classroom their PHBGTU teachers provide a wealth of engaging English lessons to forward the children’s academic learning and set them up for success in their future. The classes are varied and the teachers use creative and interactive ways - think singing, acting, drawing and storytelling - to make learning a blast! The students across all ages are curious, eager to learn and work collaboratively to inspire each other's growth. In June, the students had a chance to demonstrate their gratitude for all this hard work put in by the teachers as the school celebrated the annual tradition of Wai Kru (Teachers’) Day. They were spoiled by the children with gifts, flowers and beaming smiles, a truly heartwarming day for teachers and students alike.
At after-school Coconut Club the children have the chance to express themselves and lean into their playful spirits. Recently, the students had the opportunity to boost their mental and physical wellbeing by taking part in yoga sessions. They stretched their way to relaxation and mindfulness and achieved a feeling of zen! Aside from playing games together outside or cooking up a storm in the classroom ‘kitchen’, the budding computer whizzes also set focus on enhancing their typing accuracy and speed to empower them with computer literacy for their future endeavours. Arts and crafts encourages the children to unleash their creative sides and this semester, they tried their hands at upcycling, transforming ordinary paper toilet rolls to vibrant pencil pots!
We are incredibly grateful for your kind donations which allow Phuket Has Been Good to Us to provide our fantastic children with an invaluable education and to equip them with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in life, all whilst having some fun along the way! Thank you for making this amazing journey possible!
