Elementary Program
Every day the Falcon programme helps our students to learn not just a sport, but other qualities such as self-confidence, sportmanship and the habits of an active, healthy lifestyle. We are committed to making sure that all kids have an opportunity to play and learn from this lifetime sport.We take a great deal of pride in our commitment to provide you with a fun tennis environment and the professional coaching staff to help your child learn and improve. Over the duration of the session, students should begin to have a better understanding of the fundamentals: contact and balance, an introduction to basic racket skill and movement skills to improve hand/eye coordination using mini tennis lots of fun games…
We have the Falcon Nest Programme for Y1-Y3 and the Fledgling Falcon Programme for Y3-Y7. All programmes are offered five days a week from 2.30 to 3.30 pm. We recommend that juniors sign up for at least 2 days week to maximize their development.
Secondary Program
The Flying Falcon programme is designed for the beginner and intermediate players of secondary age. At the beginning of each school session all players are evaluated and placed into three sections according to their age, ability level, and goals. These three sections have been created for coaching and organizational purposes and are named; Flying Gold and Flying Silver sections.
The vision of the Falcon programme is to create an environment where our players can move into a slightly more advanced setting with the coaches carefully monitoring the growth and development of the players to ensure their progress. The Falcon programme emphasizes: hand/eye coordination and movement development while learning the basic rules of tennis including scoring, and helping the player’s progress with the fundamentals of stroke development. Each player is urged to strive to move into a more advanced section or programme (i.e. Falcon) this should this be their goal.
The Falcon programme is a one hour programme from 3:30-4:30pm Monday through Saturday. The enrollment limit is 12 players per term.
Each player needs to bring their kit, tennis shoes, and racket to practice. If your child needs a racquet we can make a suitable recommendation.

We would like to invite anyone interested in joining the Scuba Club to a meeting next Thursday, 25th August in Ms. Moi’s room, new Elementary building, room 3304 at 2:45pm. You must be at least 15 years old and a good swimmer. We are offering a PADI open water dive certification course for those who are not yet qualified as divers. Our aim is to have the certification course completed before November so we can organise dive trips for the rest of the year.
If you already have a dive certification or completed one with Scuba Club last year please come to the meeting too so we can register your interest and begin to see which dates would be suitable for dive trips in the year ahead. We would love to plan at least one overnight dive trip this year however this depends on getting the program up and going as soon as possible, with dates set. We would ask that you bring a schedule of exams, due dates for coursework etc. for the year if possible, as this will help us to schedule dates for dives that don’t conflict with school work and especially busy times.
Please note that this is not an ECA that runs every single week, rather times are co-ordinated with our PADI Dive Instructor and those students who want to get PADI certified. Dive trips will be either on Saturdays or Sundays periodically throughout the year.
If you would like to get in touch with Ms. Moi or Ms. Caroline prior to the meeting our email addresses are as follows:
cscott@nist.ac.th
mlitchfield@nist.ac.th
Looking forward to seeing you all!

Training will be given on the use of clocks, and strategies for timed chess. There will also be a school chess competition, played initially on a league basis so that all club members can take part.

WRITERS' BLOC aims to build its audience and visibility within the NIST community, while establishing its own identity as a voice for students. The editors have the challenge of finding, shaping and developing that distinctive voice.
If you sign up for this ECA you will be part of a team editing our forthcoming publications, recruiting writers and soliciting content, and designing hard copy publications. The editorial team makes its own decisions about content and style, so you will have a high degree of autonomy. It is excellent experience for anyone interested in journalism or publishing, and a notable activity to include in personal profiles for school and university applications.
The ECA also fulfils an important need in any learning community, provides a platform for talented individuals with something to say, and brings together people with an interest in writing and creativity.

Elementary Program
Every day the Falcon programme helps our students to learn not just a sport, but other qualities such as self-confidence, sportmanship and the habits of an active, healthy lifesstyle. We are committed to making sure that all kids have an opportunity to play and learn from this lifetime sport.We take a great deal of pride in our commitment to provide you with a fun tennis environment and the professional coaching staff to help your child learn and improve. Over the duration of the session, students should begin to have a better understanding of the 3 fundamentals: including contact and balance, an introduction to basic racket skill and movement skills to improve hand/eye coordination using mini tennis lots of fun games…
We have the Falcon Nest Programme for Y1-Y3 and the Fledgling Falcon Programme for Y3-Y7. All programmes are offered five days a week from 2.30 to 3.30 pm. We recommend that juniors sign up for at least 2 days week to maximize their development.
Secondary Program
The Flying Falcon programme is designed for the beginner and intermediate players of secondary age. At the beginning of each school session all players are evaluated and placed into three sections according to their age, ability level, and goals. These three sections have been created for coaching and organizational purposes and are named; Flying Gold and Flying Silver sections.
The vision of the Falcon programme is to create an environment where our players can move into a slightly more advanced setting with the coaches carefully monitoring the growth and development of the players to ensure their progress. The Falcon programme emphasizes: hand/eye coordination and movement development while learning the basic rules of tennis including scoring, and helping the player’s progress with the fundamentals of stroke development. Each player is urged to strive to move into a more advanced section or programme (i.e. Falcon) this should this be their goal.
The Falcon programme is a one hour programme from 3:30-4:30pm Monday through Saturday. The enrollment limit is 12 players per term.
Each player needs to bring their kit, tennis shoes, and racket to practice. If your child needs a racquet we can make a suitable recommendation.

We would like to invite anyone interested in joining the Scuba Club for the second ECA session to contact Ms. Moi Litchfield or Ms. Caroline Scott. You must be at least 15 years old and a good swimmer. You don’t need to be a qualified diver. This session we want to start doing some cool activities in our own pool in addition to arranging some dives. If you wish to get qualified then this can be arranged too and if you would just like to come and have some fun in the pool and see what diving is all about, that’s great!
If you already have a dive certification or completed one with Scuba Club last year please register your interest for this session and let’s begin to see which dates would be suitable for dive trips and fun pool games during the rest of the year. We would love to plan at least one overnight dive trip this year however this depends on having adequate numbers of you guys who are interested!
Please note that this is not an ECA that runs every single week, rather times are co-ordinated with our PADI Dive Instructor and Mermaids rep. It’s a fun and easy going ECA to belong to and the more people we have the more possibilities for underwater activities/games etc. we have. We will want to schedule the dives for Saturdays and Sundays throughout the year, aiming at one every six weeks or so. You don’t have to come to all the dives and we will work out a schedule so it doesn’t conflict with a time when you have lots of work etc.
Please register your interest by signing up to the ECA and it would be great if you could drop Ms. Moi or Ms.Caroline an email too. Once we have all the sign ups, we will hold a meeting early on in the second ECA session…come on, you know you want to!

Chess was founded in India during the 6th century thus making it the oldest board game. Today, Chess is the 2nd most played sport in the world with more than a billion players in over 150 countries. Extensive research around the world have shown that chess players on average had a higher IQ level than non-players. Chess also been proven to help children to choose better choices from a large number of options. Children have been known to improve in pattern recognition by playing chess. These are some or the reasons why Chess has been included in school curriculum in nearly 30 countries including American, England, Australia and India. Benefits of chess is continuing to baffle researchers even today. Chess has been played by prominent people in history such as Napoleon Bonaparte, Ludvig Van Beethoven, Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Benjamin Franklin and many more. And most importantly chess is a fun pastime for children.

It is excellent experience for anyone interested in journalism or publishing, and a notable activity to include in personal profiles for school and university applications.
The ECA also fulfils an important need in any learning community, provides a platform for talented individuals with something to say, and brings together people with an interest in writing and creativity.

Elementary Program
Every day the Falcon programme helps our students to learn not just a sport, but other qualities such as self-confidence, sportmanship and the habits of an active, healthy lifestyle. We are committed to making sure that all kids have an opportunity to play and learn from this lifetime sport.We take a great deal of pride in our commitment to provide you with a fun tennis environment and the professional coaching staff to help your child learn and improve. Over the duration of the session, students should begin to have a better understanding of the fundamentals: contact and balance, an introduction to basic racket skill and movement skills to improve hand/eye coordination using mini tennis lots of fun games…
We have the Falcon Nest Programme for Y1-Y3 and the Fledgling Falcon Programme for Y3-Y7. All programmes are offered five days a week from 2.30 to 3.30 pm. We recommend that juniors sign up for at least 2 days week to maximize their development.
Secondary Program
The Flying Falcon programme is designed for the beginner and intermediate players of secondary age. At the beginning of each school session all players are evaluated and placed into three sections according to their age, ability level, and goals. These three sections have been created for coaching and organizational purposes and are named; Flying Gold and Flying Silver sections.
The vision of the Falcon programme is to create an environment where our players can move into a slightly more advanced setting with the coaches carefully monitoring the growth and development of the players to ensure their progress. The Falcon programme emphasizes: hand/eye coordination and movement development while learning the basic rules of tennis including scoring, and helping the player’s progress with the fundamentals of stroke development. Each player is urged to strive to move into a more advanced section or programme (i.e. Falcon) this should this be their goal.
The Falcon programme is a one hour programme from 3:30-4:30pm Monday through Saturday. The enrollment limit is 12 players per term.
Each player needs to bring their kit, tennis shoes, and racket to practice. If your child needs a racquet we can make a suitable recommendation.

Description about Software ROBOLAB 2.9.4
Based on LabVIEW from National Instruments, the software uses an icon-based, diagram-building environment to write programs that control your students' LEGO® robotics projects. ROBOLAB has progressive programming phases that allow the programming level to match the student's knowledge and skills.
PILOT is a basic environment where programs are built using a click-and-choose interface with a limited number of icons. | Invitation | Boys & Girls | 2 | 6 |

At NIST we care about the community within Bangkok and make relationships with fellow Thai children. One on-going relationship is with the Community Center in the Klong Toey slums. Within the last year children from the Community Center have been invited to NIST on Saturdays to use the facilities, while NIST students have been invited to help and play with the Community Center students. We would like to continue this relationship on a weekly basis and are inviting year 6 students (8 maximum) to volunteer as an ECA. Each week we will plan and organise activities including academic, sports and music. Transportation to and from NIST will be provided. This is a worthwhile activity for students to help out the local community in Bangkok.

| 3 | Others | Incy Wincy Children’s Yoga Program | Incy Wincy Yoga classes are divided into 5 phases; breathing exercises; visualisation; trust and cooperation games; Hatha yoga poses and relaxation time. Above all we provide a fun activity for children giving them a number of benefits. All classes are taken by native English speakers qualified as children’s yoga instructors.
The Monday class focuses on gross motor development while having a secondary emphasis on strength, agility and endurance. Cooperative and problem solving activities are also used to help develop the child’s social skills. All activities are carried out in a non-competitive and accepting environment.
The Wednesday class focuses on strength, agility and endurance building. Again we use activities that allow children to explore and develop their personal strengths mentally, physically and socially. The children’s yoga class does not strive for perfection; rather it allows the child to explore their personal limits in a supportive environment.
With proven results from more than 6 years of providing children’s yoga, our goal is to improve a student’s concentration and lower their stress levels helping them to achieve greater success at school. Research into children’s Yoga conducted in Los Angeles found that children’s Yoga participation helped improve not only the students’ physical health but also their performance academically in school.

WRITERS' BLOC aims to build its audience and visibility within the NIST community, while establishing its own identity as a voice for students. The editors have the challenge of finding, shaping and developing that distinctive voice.
If you sign up for this ECA you will be part of a team editing our forthcoming publications, recruiting writers and soliciting content, and designing hard copy publications. The editorial team makes its own decisions about content and style, so you will have a high degree of autonomy. It is excellent experience for anyone interested in journalism or publishing, and a notable activity to include in personal profiles for school and university applications.
The ECA also fulfils an important need in any learning community, provides a platform for talented individuals with something to say, and brings together people with an interest in writing and creativity.
Pls. View The WRITERS’ BLOC at:

This could be the ECA for you!
Do you have lots of creative ideas?
Can you think ‘outside the box’?
Are you good at solving problems?
Can you work well in a team?
Do you like to perform?
If you answered yes to three or more of these questions then this is the ECA for you! Tournament of Minds will require you to work together in a team to solve a long-term problem in one of four disciplines:
Language Literature
Maths Engineering
Social Science
Applied Technology
In addition to solving the problem, your team will need to develop a ten minute performance to demonstrate your solution to a panel of judges and a live audience on Tournament Day. Your team will also face an unseen ‘spontaneous challenge’ on the day. The Bangkok Tournament will be held on Sunday 1st April when your team will have the chance to compete against other teams from NIST as well as teams from other international schools.
For those students continuing with TOM and for those new to TOM, during ECA session 3, we will finalize teams for the Tournament and you will have six weeks to work on your long-term challenge before Tournament Day.
