Glory is determined to bring the best concept of education while developing our children to the best of their potentials

in body, mind, social skills and flair, as well as bringing them up to be upstanding citizens of this world. Our schools mission is to instill and then elicit from each student their unique potential fostered by a loving family and school environment making them useful and loving world citizens. We believe that learning is a unique and personal experience. Our aim is to stimulate each child to think, analyze, discover and explore. It is our desire to create a happy and warm atmosphere in which each child is filled with the excitement and wonder of learning. We believe that parents and teachers, working together in partnership, will ensure a happy and successful experience in school.

It is such a great pleasure nurturing our young students to grow up to be caring and responsible teenagers, people of honor and integrity. I believe that every child is the best, and that children are truly a blessing from God. They deserve our love and care, our uplifting words and our kindest blessing. They need our togetherness to have fun, our smiles, laughter and gentle hugs! As a mother of two, I am so thankful to God that my two children are happy, fulfilled and doing rather well academically. They were my great inspiration for establishing Glory International School, so that we could create a warm environment where children are joyful, equipped with morals and values, and with motivation to strive to succeed intellectually. Education is the key for our future generations success, especially in our rapidly globalizing society. We are committed to provide the best trilingual international education to encourage the students to develop their individual talents and fullest potential in all areas: physical, emotional, academic and social. May we all join hands to support one another for our beloved childrens success. May God help us to be happy, good and successful parents and teachers, so that our children will grow up to be people of integrity and excellence. LIVE SIMPLY. LOVE GENEROUSLY. CARE DEEPLY. SPEAK KINDLY. Thank you for taking your valuable time to visit our school website and Facebook. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.

It gives me great pleasure to write a few words for the first issuance of Glory International Schools yearbook. Any inception of something new is a source of great joy and pride, and Glory International School is of no exception. With this publication, it means that the school has come a long ways from a school of few to the many of today. It will certainly continue to grow from strength to strength owing to the holistic approachthe emphasis of the whole person, with special attention to the inculcation of moralsan aspect very much overlooked by many institutions today. I wish to congratulate our pioneer graduates of Primary Six. Although few in number, we know what they have learned will prepare them for their insatiable search for knowledge. I wish them every success as they continue their lifelong learning. For others who leaf through these pages, may you find joy and pleasant memories of the pastfor the past is always the present. Finally, may I congratulate the administration, the teachers and staff for such an excellent yearbookyou have worked hard to bring this about. May God continue to bless the school, always!

The best part of teaching is the daily interaction with the students. I love my time in the classroom- Teaching! There are miracles to be experienced! Seeing the students caring for each other, being excited to go to school, asking me if somebody is absent, ( where is ____?) thats very sweet! When I see my students accomplish their work, when they become independent, those moments are golden! I am very proud and happy for how my students have grown academically and socially. They taught me how to be a better teacher. I want to thank the parents for your full support which has made the year a success. To my Nursery 1 students, I will always remember you. I love you N1! With love, Teacher Larla =)

Many people ask me about my work and wonder why I chose to become a teacher, especially for such young children like the ones in nursery. I jokingly answer that I found the secret to eternal youth and happiness! How can people stay young and feel happy? Working with little kids, little ones that make you smile, laugh, skip, jump, run, sing and dance every day, again and again, because they never get bored of it nor become boring themselves. The challenges that we face every day with educating young children are by no means small, but this is what keeps things interesting and alive. I feel happy and accomplished when one of my little students stops using diapers, or learns how to eat properly using a fork and a spoon. This is what life is all about, and we nursery teachers have to team up with parents in order to provide our little ones enough knowledge to start their lives appropriately and head towards a bright future. This academic year, 2012-2013, has been a full one for me on a personal level, including adding another member to my family at home. I am very thankful for that. I am also very thankful that I can continue my work, and have the delight of dealing with my little bundles of joy in my nursery 2 class as well! It has been a privilege being a part of their development and I hope that we did a good job providing them with enough academic baggage so they can continue their learning experience in kindergarten. I am sure that they will continue being the best that they can be and doing the best that they can do. Best of luck! Teacher Luca

What a great and exciting year it has been! So many fun filled activities took place. K1 warmly welcomed me in January, and have since kept up both their enthusiasm for learning and their commitment to achieving their goals throughout the year. They have studied hard all year long and have shown remarkable progress. It definitely was a challenging year for me as a teacher, as well as for all the students, but amazing achievements came out of it. I want to congratulate all of you, especially my students, for your great effort and dedication to moving forward towards your goals. All of you have taken great steps forward, and I know each of you will continue being a wonderful and loyal student in K2. I wish everyone the best and much success in the future. Thank you for taking part in my class and making me proud to be your teacher. Keep up the great work!!! To sum it up, life at Glory International School has been very satisfying. It is truly a pleasure to be a teacher at Glory, going to school every day surrounded by enthusiastic and dedicated staff and students. Thanks to you all for your sense of humour and your determination. I am definitely looking forward to the upcoming academic year. Have a safe and wonderful summer holiday!!!! Teacher Mari

K2 has been a joy to teach this term. A bright and eclectic group of individuals with a wide range of skills and talents, each making this class very special indeed. We have had such wonderful artwork, grammar and a high level of spoken English, as well as beautiful singing which I have particularly enjoyed hearing each morning, as they sing the national anthem and other traditional songs with volume, pride and passion. Our theme for May was Joyful Heart, and they have certainly made my heart joyous with their dedication, enthusiasm and commitment. The group has improved with every passing day in all areas I have witnessed, and I am very much looking forward to mentoring their progress at primary level. I feel sure that the future is very bright for all of them. Well done K2. Thank you for making me feel so welcome. Keep up the good work and have an amazing summer. Teacher Anthony

I love K2, and I am very happy to be able to work with a class such as this. I am very proud of K2 because each student is so smart, positive and optimistic. They help each other and progress together, growing day by day. Every day they are able to seriously study and enjoy free time and games. The children of Glory have a variety of school life.. They learn discipline and actively prepare for primary school . Teachers prepare a variety of coursework such as games and songs so they can learn and grow happily. They not only learn cultural knowledge, they also learn how to be good people and how to get on well with their peers and teachers. In short, I have enjoyed working with K2 because when I am with them I always feel the presence of love. Teacher Juicy Dear K2, Time flies so fast. I remember your first ay of school like it was yesterday. Youve had an amazing year and so have I with you. I have seen your hard work since day 1 in K2. It wasnt always easy but I am so proud of you! I watched you develop in reading, writing and speaking, and more and more it brought joy to my heart. I feel very confident that you are well-equipped to take on the next chapter of your educational lives. Please dont forget the many priceless lessons youve learned. Love learning and be loving to all. Here you are your graduation day and I couldnt be more proud. Congratulations! Love you always, Teacher Donna

It has been a privilege working with P1. They are the most amazing, active, smart and intelligent class Ive ever had. P1 is full of happiness, joy and smiles. Each of the students has a beautiful personality, and they all have a great sense of humour too. It is so beautiful to see my students growing up. They get taller, stronger, smarter and more playful everyday. When we talk about what makes a class international, I personally think that P1 is a great example. Thai, Taiwanese, Indian, Romanian, Australian, Pilipino, all different types of religions and nations in one class! If you look deeply into this class you will see a beautiful, fantastic and harmonious small community living a peaceful life together. I have been blessed by the great God to be leading them.

Welcome to the Primary 2 classroom! Stay for a while and enjoy the mischievous little monkeys that inhabit the room! The bell has rung signifying the end of recess and the children have rushed back into the room.I hear a panicky voice in a loud stage whisper.. Teacher Neetu is coming!!!!..chairs scrape across the floor..there is a rush to get the Math books and pandemonium ensues while P2 tries to get ready for Math class before I enter the room. Opening the door, I am confronted with 11 perfectly behaved children seated at their desks, waiting for lessons to commence. Ten minutes into the lesson they revert back to form! Highly intelligent, quirky, comic, JJ cannot seem to sit still - a chair for him is a contortionists prop! JJ is notorious for making his teachers tear their hair out at the same time he is the one who amazes these very same teachers with his insights and thirst for knowledge! JJ keeps me on my toes! Apparently, Nomaan is stepping on hot coals as he hops from one foot to the other trying to get my attention with teacher.teacher.I know the answer..may I have a good point?!!! He is the little bomb in P2 who wants to be the first and the best in everything that he does! He brings out the child in me. I turn to see a handsome boy with a winsome smile.. Calum ..snickering at JJ. Teacher, Calum is bullying me. JJ complains. So sit properly JJ Calum calls back. Continued next page...

I will sit however I want, its my freedom! JJ shoots back Huh..huh..not in my classroom Jay My warning tone is loud and clear and immediately gets him properly seated (he knows if he doesnt, his chair along with its occupant will be in the bin!) Calum has the most innocent eyes I have ever seen. He inspires me to try harder. Among the chaos that is the front row in P2, sits a quite little mouse..our personal little sunbeam.Beamthe newest addition. Her happy smiles and hugs win over every teacher who enters P2. Beam rouses all my protective instincts. Praise, the resident tomboy, is watching the proceedings with delight waiting for a chance to pounce. She is our drama queen, singing, dancing and acting all coming naturally to her. She turns to Amir pssthave you seen Iron Man 3??!! Amazing. Amir rolls his eyes at herand when Amir rolls his eyes, he really rrooolllss his eyes. Another one who has ants in his pants, stretching, bending, draping himself over the desk..his movements defy the laws of gravity! Amir is smart, intelligent, and hardworkingthe youngest in class, the one who has caught up with the rest of his classmates despite having missed a significant portion last year. An oasis of calm sits next to himJunior. He is watching mewhat is T. Neetu going to do? A sweet boy whom I have watched evolve from a shy, introverted person he was at the beginning of the year to the happy, outgoing person he is now. Lately, I can actually hear his voice when he speaks! Junior inspires all the gentleness in me. Nichaya, with her gift of the gab, is busy with Evi, behind her! Nichaya is the leader of the pack. Looking at her, one wouldnt think she has nerves of steel and enough commanding power to get the whole class to follow her! She is a gifted writershe can start writing on demand, on any subject .and keep it flowing.

In the last row sits Evi, Nicha and Terrimy three musketeers. The most hardworking students in P2, the best behaved with a great willingness to learn. They compete with each other in every subject. Outside class..it is a different story. I have seen Nicha turn into a yelling banshee in the playground! Terri, the soft-spoken girl, actually talks loudly during recess. Evi, the organizer, is forever organizing hers and her friends school lives. She is the finest teachers helper I have ever had. The front row is in chaos, from the back rows I can hear whispered conversations. I step back to survey the whole class. A sharp rap on the desk and QUIET does the trick. The class is back in order 11 upturned faces like flowers waiting for my instruction! I know it wont be long before the little monkeys resume their monkey business. Teaching P2 is a challengebut at the end of the day.. JJ See you tomorrow Teacher Neetu his smile is so sweet as I hug him goodbye. Calum I have all my homework in my bag, may I go T.Neetu? I ruffle his hair affectionately as I bid him goodbye. Juniors and Terris soft goodbyes bring a smile to my face. Evi, busily checking to see if her BTS card is still around her neck, waits patiently before she bids me goodbye with a beautiful wai. A little imp in sunglasses is jumping up and down see you tomorrow teacher, may I leave now? I laugh as I wave goodbye to Nicha. I see a pair of eyes rolling at me Yes Amir, you may go now..I try to suppress my grin as I wish him a good day. Suddenly I am enveloped in a bear hug. I turn and look down into Beams eyes. Goodbye T. Neetu I hug her back and send her on her way. God bless you T.Neetu God bless you too darling Nichaya and she is off. I turn looking for Nomaan who is nowhere to be found. He has done it again.slipped right from under my nose! Ill tell off that little imp tomorrow! Aah but tomorrow is another day.and I cant wait for it to begin! Teacher Neetu

After working for almost one year in Glory International School as the homeroom teacher of P3, I realized that learning is a mutual experience. I am not the only person who teaches the kids, and actually I am amazed by how they, even at this age, can teach and remind us the beauty and purity of life every day. I am pleased to mention that P3 students have taught me more than enough. Every day they remind me how generous they are. The friendship among them shows me the joyful heart each and all of them own, and they couldnt excel more in their obedience. To see them losing teeth and growing them back, to see how much taller they get, how much more respectful and mature they become every day, these are the blessings I have from spending one year next to these innocent angels. Being faced with hardship and happiness, we memorialize days so they will not be forgotten. Yes! We survived it and we will succeed to the best level possible. Teacher Jasmine

In the childrens book Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge by Mem Fox, a young boy searches for ways to find lost memories for an old woman who had lost her own. Through his persistent questions and vivid imagination, he inspires her to remember events from her past. I think this yearbook will also work in the same way to these students when they are grown up. When I was pondering about P4, the only thing that came in my mind is that when this class will pass from Glory and go to another school, this yearbook will remind them about their sweet memories which they have made here. Apparently when you first see them, you might feel that they all are same and nothing new in them. But everybody has different traits that make up their personalities. If you find a boy in primary 4 with a big pack of Lays crunching around the classroom that is no other than Karn. Karn is the only boy in the class, who makes my class lively by making small mischievous acts around us. Though he is like a jumping jack in the class, when it comes to caring about someone he is the most loving boy. He keeps on asking me did you call her or him? Why did he /she not come? The tiniest and most lovely girl in Primary 4 is Praerie. If you heard a scream in the class without any reason that is Praerie. Its easy to recognize her. She loves making origami. When her two best friends are with her, they symbolize like they are from Barbie and the three musketeers. A little shy but with a million dollar smile is YaYa, the most creative girl in my class. She is very determined and always accompanies her friends if they have trouble. When it comes to Chinese, nobody can beat her. Last but not least is Min-Mint. She is like a brand ambassador of Glory in modeling and casting. Her handwriting and other art work always makes her proud. She is always willing to help me and asks can I do it for you? However, all of them are of different type, some are helpful while some are caring. No matter their type, as long as they interest and comfort each other, they all are very dear to me. Sometimes they mingle and sometimes they fight but they all are like pieces of jigsaw, without any one of them this primary 4 will always be incomplete.

In my first class with Alfie, Don, Kin, Num and Nuhaa, a meditation competition spontaneously broke out. I had been quizzing them with the worst I could imagine, adverbs, and they had decided between one another to close their eyes after anyone answered correctly. Nuhaa, the brilliant natural leader of the class, would count to three and then all five would pick up their legs, curling them under themselves, mimicking a lotus. Whoever burst out laughing first had to answer my next question. It was all Nuhaas idea, so she was often the first to lose by peeking at me. By laughter, next to break first was Alfie, carefree and light-hearted enough to rather lose a game and hear her classmates giggle. Alfie will never let a fellow student go silent if she knows they have a question. If Num was reluctant to voice herself back in the first term of this year, she has grown to tower in stature in her self expression, especially with her thirst for justice. An unkind word or unchecked lie will always find a capable opponent in Num, defender of kindness, putting others ahead of herself time and again. The boys of the class, Kin and Don, are practically joined at the hip at times. Their stream-ofconsciousness sense of humour, combined with endless inside jokes, always leaves others scratching their heads. Don has worked hard throughout the year to overcome illness and absence, and we have all watched his strength grow. He is even able to handle with ease the endless attentions of the third floor girls, who never tire of tickling him. The talented, outspoken, possibly notorious Kin is a lucid dreamer, and when not building castles in the sky, he always seems to have a smile on his face so wide that it spills in to giddy, infectious laughter. His high intensity energy always finds an outlet, and with every term he shows more self possession. P5, the P5 five, are trustworthy, independent and intelligent young learners, and to see the good habits developing in their classroom behavior, their studying and attentiveness, it all makes the witty asides and bizarre, out of context anecdotes from their imaginations all the more wonderful to be a part of. It has truly been the greatest pleasure to see them through their fifth grade. I will never forget Kins white knuckle retellings of his dream adventures, Dons blissful classroom singing as he catches up on one subject or another, Num making fun of me for saying its ok so many times, Alfie calling out my epic fails whenever I make a mistake on the whiteboard, and Nuhaas hilarious and unforgettable impressions of my speech. I am blessed by my time with these five students. Teacher Edwin

Dear Almond, Ake and Korn. Wow, what a year! To better state that- what a GREAT year! Each of you has brought such joy and happiness to our classroom. I was so fortunate to have such a wonderful group of children. My friends and family often laugh at me when I refer to the three of you as my kids. You are like my own children. You have touched my life in very positive and rewarding ways. Be it Korns naughtiness, Almonds wit or Akes incredible sense of humor, I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. As you move from primary to secondary levels, a new phase of your life will set in. You are growing up and a lot will be expected of you. Dont worry, enjoy the transition. Each of you has tremendous potential to excel; you just need to discover it. Hard work, perseverance, total dedication and focus are all keys to a successful life. Walt Disney has famously quoted, If you can dream it, you can do it. So always consider yourself capable of achieving what you aspire to, nothing can stop you from reaching your goal if you pursue it with utmost determination. I know that each one of you has a bright future ahead. So work hard and enjoy your school days! Thank you for all you have done to make my year so fulfilling and memorable. You're a great class and I loved teaching you. I hope as the years go by that we keep in touch. I will miss all of you a lot. Wish you all the very best for all your future endeavors. Teacher Amrita

Almond is a highly talented girl who is developing very good knowledge. She is not like all the other children. Children tend to always want to play, but Almond is not like most other kids in her spare time she always tries to solve problems, or try solving puzzle games like Sudoku. Sudoku, as you might all know, is a numeric puzzle game which increases the thinking capacity. She is now capable of solving different type of problems of medium to complex nature. She is not only talented in mathematics but also in various other fields, such as sports, art and music. She has achieved various awards in many competitions since joining Glory International School.

3rd Place in Chinese speech competition in 2010 Almond is a native Thai girl, and she started to learn Chinese when she joined Glory International School way back in the year 2008. She worked to improve her oratory skills in Chinese, and in 2010 she went on to become the one of the top speakers in a Chinese international speech competition, secured the third prize. All this is attributed to her dedication, hard work and encouragement from her teachers.

Petch Yod Mong Kut English contest 2012 Almond went on to test her English skills. In her endeavor to achieve competitive success in English, she attended the Petchyod Mong Kut English contest and secured another award, making her place in year 2012.

Spelling Bee Glory International School School internal competitions Glory International School has recognized her real talent and sponsored her to join many international competitions, in which Almond always came out with flying colors, taking her image as well as the image of the school to great heights. She has been making major achievements outside the school; that stays as a well-known fact. We should note that even her achievements inhouse are also commendable. She always attended the competitions at Glory and did her best in all of them. She is famous in the school for giving tough competition and making her mark as high as she can.

2013: The P6 Graduating Year for Almond: ACER Achievement. Having benchmarked herself as the best achiever year after year at Glory, everyone kept their fingers crossed as we continued along 2013. Almond made yet another remarkable academic achievement by securing a 93% marks in the ACER (Australian Council for Educational Research) Talent Examination. This talent test is used for evaluation of student ability for admission to international schools in Thailand. By achieving this, Almond cleared her own way for admission into Concordian International School. Almonds interest in music has led to numerous performances. She plays ukulele like Beethoven on a piano.

Almond is also a star in Co-Curricular activities arranged at the school. She actively participates in cultural and sports activities, and as usual, always gives her best. Success does not happen overnight, it is the result of continued endurance and hard work. People who have tasted success will like to taste it again and again. Success is a combination of thoughts, words and actions. Luck has only a small role to play in success, for only hard work pays off in the long run. If at all luck plays a role, it is only temporary. Aristotle says, It is possible to fail in many ways, while for success it is possible only in one way. Hurdles and failures are the stepping stones to success, and from failure to failure we have to proceed with unquenchable enthusiasm and zeal to attain the best in our endeavors. In that state of mind, success is simple. Do whats right, the right way, at the right time. Almond has realized the taste of success, and so she will continue to succeed in all her future endeavors. All the very best for her bright future!
