Friends of Bangkok Prep (FOBP)

Friends of Bangkok Prep (FOBP), founded in 2005, is a community of parents dedicated to enhancing the educational experience of their children. As a Bangkok Prep parent, you are automatically a part of the FOBP community, strengthening our unity and collective voice.

FOBP is run by parents, for parents, but collaborates closely with the school’s staff and teachers, offering our time and resources to contribute to the educational environment and assist in organising various events and activities. We believe that this involvement nurtures the students' sense of responsibility and community, fostering their growth as individuals. We are also a proud founding member of SPARKIT, a network of parent associations of international schools in Thailand.

Our annual lineup of events is testament to our active engagement and commitment. It includes much-anticipated occasions such as the Halloween celebration, the Funky Friday fun day, our popular Bake Sales, and the signature FOBP Banquet. We also provide support in other important ways, like organizing a network of Class Representatives, providing ice-cream to kids after Sports Day, giving graduation gifts for Y13 students, aiding new parents at Orientation Days, and sponsoring sports events and trophies. These events not only enhance the school experience but also foster a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose among the community members.

FOBP has an elected Committee of 13 parents who help organize our activities, and as a Bangkok Prep parent, you're always welcome to join us as a volunteer. To be transparent, we post the minutes of committee meetings and our financial statements on Firefly for your convenience.

We encourage every parent to take an active part in FOBP. This collaboration is a key to our success. Together, we can make a significant positive difference in our children's Bangkok Prep experience!
