Secondary Deputy Head Student Announcement

It is with great pleasure that we can announce our Secondary Deputy Head Students for this academic year. Please join me in congratulating Kwan-kao and JL of Year 12 as our new Deputy Head Students.

Message from JL – Hello! I am JL, your new Deputy Head Boy for this year. I am honoured to have been given this opportunity, and enter a position that effectively allows positive changes to be made to the school. It is my promise to fulfil the role, and constantly strive for the benefit of our Bangkok Prep community. Most importantly, I feel sincerely grateful for all the support from my peers and teachers. From the bottom of my heart: thank you so much!

Message from Kwan-kao – Hi! I’m KK, and I am delighted to be your Deputy Head Girl for this academic year. I am very grateful to be a big part of crafting a warm and welcoming community in which the changes we make will have sustained impacts on the generations of future leaders here at our school. I cannot wait to be working alongside with many amazing leaders and nonetheless, our fabulous Bangkok Prep community.

As you can see below, our new Deputy Head Students had quite the challenging process to go through to be successful. All 16 of our applicants gave an incredible amount of themselves and we hope those that were unsuccessful see it as a minor speed bump and a learning opportunity. The remaining student leadership positions will be advertised next week.
