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 school’s 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.

Page 4: Glory Yearbook 2012-2013

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 children’s

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

School’s 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 approach—the emphasis of the whole

person, with special attention to the inculcation

of morals—an 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 past—for the past is always the present.

Finally, may I congratulate the administration, the teachers and staff for

such an excellent yearbook—you 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 ____?) that’s 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!

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!!!!

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.

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. You’ve had an

amazing year and so have I with you. I have seen your hard work since day 1 in K2. It

wasn’t 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 don’t forget the many priceless lessons you’ve learned. Love

learning and be loving to all. Here you are… your graduation day and I couldn’t 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 I’ve 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

contortionist’s 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, it’s 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 doesn’t, 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….Beam…the 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 “psst……have you seen Iron Man 3??!! Amazing….” Amir

rolls his eyes at her…and 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 hardworking…the 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 him…Junior. He is watching me…what 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 wouldn’t think she has nerves

of steel and enough commanding power to get the whole class to follow

her! She is a gifted writer…she can start writing on demand, on any

subject ….and keep it flowing.

Page 27: Glory Yearbook 2012-2013

In the last row sits Evi, Nicha and Terri……my 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 teacher’s 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 won’t be long

before the little monkeys resume their monkey business. Teaching P2 is a

challenge…but 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.

Junior’s and Terri’s 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 Beam’s

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! I’ll tell off that little imp

tomorrow!

Aah but tomorrow is another day….and I can’t 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

couldn’t 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.

In the children’s 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”. It’s 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 Nuhaa’s 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-of-

consciousness 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

Kin’s white knuckle retellings of his dream adventures, Don’s blissful classroom singing as he catches

up on one subject or another, Num making fun of me for saying “it’s ok” so many times, Alfie calling

out my “epic fails” whenever I make a mistake on the whiteboard, and Nuhaa’s hilarious and

unforgettable impressions of my speech. I am blessed by my time with these five students.

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 Korn’s

naughtiness, Almond’s wit or Ake’s 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. Don’t 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.

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 capac-

ity. 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 mu-

sic. 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 inter-

national 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 in-

house are also commendable. She always attended the competi-

tions 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.

Page 37: Glory Yearbook 2012-2013

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, Al-

mond cleared her own way for admission into Concordian International

School.

Almond’s 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 what’s 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 endeav-

ors.

All the very best for her bright future!
