Dear Parents, 

 

Thank you very much to all parents who joined the ‘FoW’s Morning Coffee’ last Tuesday and today. We were glad to meet all of you. 

 

Next week FoW will organize another event, a special seminar on a very important topic that is close to our hearts, ‘Balancing Digital Device Usage for Digital Wellbeing: a Modern Parenting Challenge’. This special event will be held at the Theatre on Wednesday 4 October from 9.00 - 10.30. We have invited 2 speakers from the Electronic Transaction Development Agency (ETDA) and the Department of Mental Health. I believe this seminar will be useful for us, parents in the digital age and it will provide insights on how to properly nurture our kids, the digital natives, in this matter. 

 

Another exciting piece of news is that the date for our state-of-the-art Christmas Fayre has been set. It will be on Saturday 2 December so everybody please mark your calendar. This WCIB signature event promises to be even bigger and grander this year. For the new WCIB members, this is the event that will put a long lasting smile on the face of all our children and it is certainly an event that will show that love is in the air, and happiness is all around. 

 

As it will be groundbreaking, we need a lot of volunteers and a lot of sponsorship. Please let us know if you are willing to contribute in any possible way. 

 

Have a wonderful weekend.

Art Competition 

 

Mr Cadman, Head of Junior School Art, has the following exciting opportunity!   

 

“I am thrilled to share an exciting opportunity for our aspiring artists at Wellington College International School.

 

We have enrolled our school in the FORBISA Visual Arts Challenge - 'Spaces in Perspective.' This competition invites students from Year 5 to Year 11 to unleash their creativity by crafting a sketch of a room or chosen space interior or outdoor using any 3D drawing technique. Students have the freedom to enhance their creations with colour, shading, patterns, and textures, employing various mediums, including digital art. 

 

It is important to note that this challenge is to be completed during the students' own time and outside of school hours. The artwork should be created on an A3-sized paper, excluding digital pieces. The deadline for registration with me, Mr. Cadman, is October 6th, 2023, and the final artwork should be submitted by November 3rd, 2023. 

 

Participants are encouraged to explore unique perspectives, highlights, shadows, and positive and negative spaces within their works. Potential ideas for inspiration include a corner of a bedroom, a school library, a children's playground, a street scene, or a view from a window or balcony.

 

This challenge offers an excellent platform for our students to showcase their artistic talents and perspective. Let's extend our support and encouragement to our young artists as they embark on this exciting creative journey.

 

Should you have any inquiries or require further information, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly. n.cadman@wellingtoncollege.ac.th “
