Inclusivity is about celebrating our uniqueness. We are proud to have an extremely diverse study body. By enrolling your child at S107, they will benefit from cultural exchange in action.

The school hosts many cultural events throughout the school year, including but not limited to Loy Krathong, Songkran, and International Day. Our Head of School – Caroline Ratcliffe – says:

“St. Andrews International School, S107 campus, is a diverse community comprising over 40 different nationalities. We are dedicated to offering all our learners an outstanding and varied experience as part of our welcoming community. We support every child to flourish, become confident and caring learners, and develop a deep sense of responsibility towards their community and the planet.”

International Day, Friday 10th October 2025

Head of School Caroline Ratcliffe officially opens International Day 2025, welcoming students and parents to the celebration in the St. Andrews S107 Sports Hall

Let’s just say, this day is a very special day at S107! It is wonderful to see all the flags, cultures, and unique things that make up the student, parent and staff body here at school.

S107’s 2025 International Day returned in full colour, joy, and celebration, once again bringing our entire community together. With over 45 nationalities proudly represented on campus, the event reflected the inclusivity and global spirit that make us the S107 family.

Inclusivity is one of our core values and we are proud of our diversity!

The day began with the Parade of Nations, where each Year Group walked side by side in traditional attire, proudly sharing the spirit of their heritage. Students, staff, and families joined in a joyful procession that filled the campus with colour, music, and pride.

On stage, the celebrations continued with a range of student performances, from the beautiful harmonies of our primary choirs to the energy of our secondary music band, showcasing the creativity and talent across our school. The International Food Fair – a much loved tradition here at S107 – brought everyone together as parents generously shared dishes from their home countries. The feast of flavours offered a true taste of the diversity within our community. Thank you to all the attendees, parents, teachers and staff who joined this event!

Why This Matters 

Our children are growing up in a world where social media and artificial intelligence (AI) shape how they learn, connect, and see themselves. These tools offer incredible opportunities for creativity, communication, and learning. At the same time, they present risks that parents and schools need to navigate carefully together. Finding the right balance is not about banning platforms or tools but about guiding children to use them wisely.

Navigating Social Media Safely

For many students, social media is their main way of communicating. It helps them stay in touch with friends, share achievements, and explore their interests. Used well, it can support identity and belonging. But the challenges are also real:

• Privacy and oversharing. Students may not realise how much personal information they give away in posts, photos, or videos.
• Unfiltered content. Harmful or age-inappropriate material is only ever a click away.

What we do in school: We teach digital citizenship, resilience, and critical thinking. Students take part in workshops and lessons where they discuss strategies like setting boundaries, talking openly about online pressures, and using parental controls effectively. We also encourage them to pause and think before they post.

Tips for parents: 

• Ask your child to show you how they use their favourite platform. This opens the door for conversation rather than conflict.
• Set clear expectations around screen time and device-free times of day, such as meals or before bedtime.
• Keep talking about online experiences in a calm, curious way so your child feels comfortable sharing both the positives and the challenges.

AI and Our Students 

Artificial intelligence is increasingly part of everyday life, from voice assistants to tools like ChatGPT. Used positively, AI can support learning, spark creativity, and help students practise new skills. But it also raises important questions for young people.

• Deepfakes and misinformation. Students need to recognise when images, videos, or news might not be real.
• Plagiarism and shortcuts. Relying on AI to “do the work” can undermine learning and confidence.
• Digital footprint. Students must understand how their use of AI tools contributes to their online identity.

What we do in school: We teach students how to use AI responsibly. This means encouraging curiosity and experimentation, while building the critical literacy skills to question sources, verify facts, and recognise manipulation.

Tips for parents:

• Explore AI tools together. Ask your child: “Do you think this answer is accurate?” or “What might be missing?” This builds healthy scepticism.
• Talk about how AI is created and remind children that it does not always give correct or balanced information.
• Reinforce the importance of doing their own work and using AI as a helper, not a substitute for thinking.

Working Together

Safeguarding in the digital age is a partnership. Schools provide guidance, training, and safe environments, but families play a vital role in continuing the conversation at home. When both work together, children develop the confidence to make wise choices online and offline.

At St. Andrews International School Sukhumvit 107, we want students not only to be protected but to be prepared. The skills they learn about social media, AI, and digital citizenship will serve them well beyond school, in higher education and in their future careers.

Key Takeaways for Parents 

• Talk openly about social media use and approach conversations with curiosity, not confrontation.
• Set agreed boundaries such as screen time, device-free zones, and age-appropriate platforms.
• Explore AI together and model critical questioning.
• Encourage your child to seek help if something online makes them uncomfortable.
• Keep communication ongoing, not just when problems arise.

Final Thoughts

Technology is not slowing down, and our children will continue to grow up in a fast-changing digital world. By staying informed, keeping communication open, and working in partnership, families and schools can help young people use social media and AI positively and safely. Together, we can give them the tools to thrive, not just survive, in the digital age.
