Father’s Day

Today at ELC, we commemorate the upcoming birthday anniversary on 5th December of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great, King Rama IX. Every year on this day we celebrate Father’s Day and now also the Thai National Day, to remember the many ways that King Bhumibol enriched the lives of people in Thailand, notably through his extensive sustainable development projects to improve water, agriculture, livelihoods, and health. ELC families were invited to watch our Y4 and K2 children perform some beautiful traditional Thai dances in honour of His Majesty King Rama IX: ในหลวงของแผ่นดิน (Nai Luang Khong Paen Din) ‘The King of the Land’; ยามเย็น (Yam Yen), ‘Love the Sundown’; ยิ้มสู้ (Yim – Soo), ‘Smile’; รอยยิ้มของพ่อ (Roi Yim Khong Poh), ‘The Father’s smile’; and finally พ่อของแผ่นดิน (Poh

Kong Paen Din) ‘The Father of the land’.

To all fathers in our ELC community, we wish you a very Happy Father’s Day!

Co-Constructing a Climate-Resilient Future: Putting Our Trust in the Children

On UN Earth Day this week, our Head of The City School, Dr. Lea, and our Y1-2 Project Coordinator, Ms. Sam, presented a webinar to the international educational and development community entitled ‘Co-Constructing a Climate-Resilient Future: Putting Our Trust in the Children’, with a participating audience of professionals from Bangladesh to Ethiopia, Nepal to the US. Hosted by the Asia-Pacific Regional Network for Early Childhood, and in collaboration with Save the Children, our educators showcased how ELC’s The City School is committed to empowering children to prepare for climate resilience and work for sustainable development, and how our Reggio Emilia approach to education cultivates those skills and character for our children to be world-changers.
