DEVELOPING REFLECTIVE, EMPOWERED LEADERSHIP AT PATANA
At the beginning of April just before the Songkran break, four senior leaders from Bangkok Patana took part in a three-day leadership coaching programme titled Coaching as a Way of Leading, facilitated by Chris Munro, Executive Director of Growth Coaching International (GCI). They were joined by senior leaders from across Thailand, all exploring how coaching can transform the way we lead.
At Bangkok Patana, we’ve already embedded the Impact Cycle, developed by Dr Jim Knight and championed through our Professional Growth Cycle, as part of our teaching and learning dialogue. This course took things a step further by focusing specifically on leadership coaching, using the GCI-developed GROWTH model. While
the Impact Cycle is grounded in improving instructional practice, the GROWTH model gives leaders a flexible framework for having meaningful, reflective conversations; ones that encourage others to think deeply, take ownership, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
One of the most powerful aspects of the course was how it pushed us, as leaders, outside of our comfort zones. We were invited not only to learn a new structure, but to practise it live, in real-time conversations with peers. There were no scripts. No safety nets. Just an invitation to be fully present, to listen deeply, and to resist the urge to jump in with quick fixes. That in itself was a challenge. As leaders, we’re often wired to solve problems. But this programme reminded us that the most transformative moments come not from providing answers, but from creating the space for others to uncover their own.
Throughout the course, the emphasis was on slowing down, tuning in, and using the GROWTH model not as a checklist, but as a guide to help steer conversations that matter. The skills we practised (active listening, asking better questions, and letting silence do its work) may seem simple, but they’re deeply powerful. And when modelled well, they become contagious.
Looking ahead, our aim is to continue developing leadership coaching across the school. Whether it’s through peer dialogue, team line management, or everyday checkins, this way of leading has the potential to create lasting cultural shifts towards greater trust, deeper reflection, and empowered professional growth.
In short, we’re just getting started.
CONFERENCES AROUND THE REGION
Throughout the region, we are fortunate to have access to a wide range of education-focused conferences, each offering unique opportunities for professional growth, inspiration, and collaboration. From subject-specific workshops to large-scale leadership forums, these gatherings provide invaluable spaces for educators to connect, share practice, and bring new ideas back to their schools. In this article, teachers from across our community reflect on the conferences they’ve attended and the key takeaways they’re excited to apply.
JAMES SOWERBY, SECONDARY ENGLISH AS AN ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE TEACHER
ELLSA: Empowering Multilingual Classrooms, Beijing, 1st – 2nd March
At the start of March, I was delighted to be afforded the opportunity to attend ELLSA (English Language Learning Specialists in Asia) 2025,
a conference focused on activating thinking and growing academic language, collaborating in teaching and learning, and leveraging translanguaging pedagogies. The conference was attended by over 250 delegates from 14 countries.
One of the most impactful ideas was the remarkable ability of multilingual learners to thrive in an academic environment while studying in a language that is not their mother tongue. The conference reinforced just how powerful bilingualism and multilingualism can be. I was left with an impression of how here at Patana, our students’ resilience, adaptability, and language skills are truly impressive, and these qualities deserve to be recognised and celebrated.
One standout session was titled ‘Scaffolding Up, Not Watering Down’. This session emphasised that multilingual learners should have access to challenging academic content, supported by effective scaffold-
ing strategies. Simplifying texts and tasks too heavily can unintentionally limit students’ exposure to critical thinking and complex language. Instead, by using tools like structured writing frames and carefully designed text adaptations, teachers can ensure that multilingual learners develop the language skills they need to succeed.
Another particularly exciting session explored how artificial intelligence is set to transform language learning. I left feeling inspired by the potential of AI tools to personalise learning, enhance feedback, and provide innovative ways for students to develop their language skills. Since returning from the conference, I’ve already started exploring some of these tools and look forward to seeing how they can support our students in the future.
Above all, the conference reinforced what an incredible job our multilingual learners do every day. Balancing multiple languages while achieving academic success is no

small feat, and our students consistently demonstrate remarkable dedication and resilience. It was a privilege to attend ELLSA 2025, and I am more inspired than ever to support our students as they continue to thrive at Bangkok Patana.
ALIS GORCEA, PRIMARY ENGLISH AS AN ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE TEACHER
ELLSA: Empowering Multilingual Classrooms, Beijing, 1st – 2nd March
I am grateful to have had the opportunity to attend the 9th ELLSA conference at the International School of Beijing, China. Fun fact: I may be the only teacher who has attended all ELLSA conferences! My involvement with ELLSA began in 2017 when I joined the Board. I also run the ELLSA Bangkok Chapter. The theme of this year’s conference was Empowering Multilingual Classrooms. I attended several insightful sessions, and here
are some of my key takeaways:
• Linguistic Diversity Meets the Science of Reading: Differentiated Instruction for Multilingual Learners – Led by Christian Polizzi and Iryna Zhurenko. A deep dive into utilizing data to inform instruction, differentiate EAL literacy support, and implement a structured framework to tailor teaching for multilingual learners. I enjoyed learning about the ISB framework to support multilingual learners and how they got to the creation of it using the Science of Reading.
• Steal This Workshop –Leading Professional Development at Your School – Led by Jon Nordmeyer, this session explored engaging activities and strategies for facilitating professional learning to build teachers’ capacity to support multilingual students. Jon shared tips and strategies on how to run an engaging workshop.
• Facets of Co-Teaching – This was the scenario-based discussion workshop I led, designed for teachers familiar with the co-teaching model. The focus was on overcoming common challenges, sharing best practices, and enhancing collaboration between co-teachers.
My biggest inspiration was the keynote speaker, Dr. Kate Seltzer, an educational researcher and teacher educator. She co-authored The Translanguaging Classroom: Leveraging Student Bilingualism for Learning with Ofelia García and Susan Ibarra Johnson. Translanguaging is a powerful approach when working with multilingual learners, and Dr. Seltzer’s keynote, “The Pedagogical & Transformative Purposes of Translanguaging,” left me eager to explore it further.
I am excited to continue integrating translanguaging into my teaching and sharing these insights with fellow
ELLSA at Beijing
educators. The ELLSA conference once again reinforced the importance of empowering multilingual learners and strengthening collaboration among teachers.

INTERVIEW: LORRAINE ILLING, SUPPORT FOR LEARNING TEACHER, YEAR 2
What is one of your fondest or favourite reading memories?
One of my fondest reading memories is reading before bedtime with my four sons, diving into The Edge Chronicles by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell. Each night, we’d journey with Twig, a brave misfit exploring a fantastical world of sky pirates, floating rocks, and mysterious creatures. The rich storytelling and unforgettable adventures of the sky pirates kept us hooked, but it was Riddell’s stunning illustrations that truly brought the stories to life—turning pages felt like entering another realm. Those magical nights sparked lots of laughter, wonder, and imagination, creating cherished memories and a lifelong love of reading that we still share today. Which female fictional character would you most like/least like to meet in real life and why?
If I could meet any fictional character, it would be Tan Yunxian from Lady Tan’s Circle of Women written by Lisa See. Set in 15th-century Ming China, Lady Tan is a rare, educated woman who becomes a respected physician despite societal restrictions. In a time when few women had access to learning, she used her knowledge to heal and support other women, showing how female relationships were the true anchors of society. Her compassion, wisdom, and quiet strength are deeply inspiring. Meeting her would be a chance to learn from a trailblazer who defied convention to uplift others through care, connection and courage.
What is your favourite family and community oriented book?
One of my favourite community-oriented books is Diplomatic Baggage: Adventures of a Trailing Spouse by Times columnist Brigid Keenan. With sharp wit and honesty, she shares the ups and downs of life as a diplomat’s wife, constantly relocating and adapting. It may be of interest to the many “accompanying partners” in our own Bangkok Patana community, who are resilient, supportive, and often unsung heroes. Keenan’s humour shines through cultural mishaps and challenges, showing how laughter can be the best survival tool. Her story is a tribute to building connections, embracing change, and finding belonging wherever life takes you.
FOUNDATION STAGE AND KEY STAGE 1 BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS:
Niamh Tyrrell, FS2G Peppa Goes Camping (Ladybird Books)
“I love Peppa Pig books! My favourite
characters are Peppa Pig and Suzy Sheep because they are good friends and always play together.”
In this story, Peppa and her family go on their first camping trip together. Mummy Pig, Daddy Pig, George and Peppa experience adventures together but also get a little lost on their journey. Many of their friends, including Danny Dog and Suzy Sheep, are kind and help them to find their way.
The
Singing Mermaid by Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks
The story beautifully illustrates the power of community—when the mermaid finds herself in trouble, it is the friendship and teamwork of her circus companions and a clever seagull that help her escape and return home. This teaches children that even the biggest problems can be overcome with the support and kindness of friends, highlighting the importance of helping one another and working together as a community.
KEY STAGE 2 BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS:

The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow By Katherine Woodfine
It’s the start of a new century, and the streets of London are buzzing with excitement for the grand opening of Sinclair’s department store, the biggest event of the year. Very posh, it has real live mannequins, fancy dresses and even its own restaurant. But most exciting is the exhibition of the most exquisite and expensive collection of jewels, including the wind-up clockwork sparrow! No wonder Sophie is excited for her new job in the millinery department. But there’s a big catch when a crime happens, and Sophie loses her job. It’s up to her friends Lily Rose (an actress) and Billy (who loves crime stories), and a thief called Joe (who used to work for a gang), to solve this mystery. I liked this book because it has got scary scenes, mysteries that keep you guessing and the fact that it is set in the past. You should read this book if you like mysteries like Nancy Drew, history stories like When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit or stories with children heroes like The Ice Children.
Caoimhe Jiaying Jones, 3J
When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit by Judith Kerr
It’s almost the beginning of a war and panicking is happening among the Jews of Germany. Anne and her family move through Europe trying to escape the Nazis. As Anne and her family travel through Europe they see amazing sites, meet new friends, travel on new transportations and learn new languages. As we travel back through time we see how terrifying it was to be hunted, lose people we love and leave our home country behind. Anne and her family keep on losing money as her papa ventures deep into

enriChment matters: suPPorting our highLy aBLe ChiLdren
Richard Kirtland, Assistant Principal, Inclusion & Welfare
We are incredibly fortunate at Bangkok Patana to have such a diverse range of children and families, bringing rich perspectives and experiences to our learning community. However, this diversity, while enriching our school culture, also presents a wide range of challenges in terms of meeting each child’s unique educational needs. One group that deserves focused attention and support is our gifted/highly able learners.
ADDRESSING HIGHLY ABLE LEARNERS
True educational equity means recognising that capability doesn’t eliminate need—rather, it transforms it. The truth is: every highly able student deserves the opportunity to engage in the productive struggle that builds resilience and reveals their potential. However, research tells us that working out who those students are and then how to best meet their needs is something that most international schools find, for multiple reasons, very challenging.
One of the most common reasons is that these students are, quite simply, unseen. They represent what we might call an academic ‘blind spot’— children who perform strongly by conventional measures (for example, tests) but may not be reaching their extraordinary potential. Because they are doing so well academically, they don’t raise any significant academic concerns. As a result, resources are allocated to those who are visibly struggling and the highly able learners are left without the targeted stretch they need.
It’s important to remember that without sufficient challenge, highly able learners often do not make the progress they should and do not sufficiently develop the resilience they will need in later life. To truly thrive, these students need an adapted academic diet—one that offers greater variety, depth, scope, pace and challenge and is responsive to the fact that they often need less time and practice to master the core curriculum. Designing a programme that can consistently meet those needs is no

Let the music play on!
Here are some takeaways from Dr. Ross Osmun’s visit.
“I had a very rare chance to take a piano lesson with Dr. Osmun; kind and patient with an easy to understand teaching style. I learned detailed aspects of piano playing such as pedaling, colors and pacing. My lesson with Dr. Osmun made a huge difference in my expression, layers, and musicality. This experience was really inspirational.”
— Dave Cheung, Year 8 student
“A refreshing week getting back to the heart of music. Ross was inspiring and was able to connect with different groups of students by sharing his passion and performance tips. My favourite moment was when he spoke candidly about his practice habits.”
— Laura MacRitchie, Co-ordinator of Secondary Music
“Dr. Osmun had some brilliant advice for all students (and staff!) on how to maximise their practice time, keep their focus and continue improving even when away from the instrument. His enthusiasm for music was infectious and brought a huge amount of inspiration to all in the Patana Secondary Music Department.”
— Rosie Brown, Secondary Music Teacher
“I found that my time with Dr. Osmun was extremely valuable. Having the opportunity to have a one on one session with a professor with that much experience was something I am incredibly grateful for. I was given specific advice and tips for playing and practicing on the piano that I would never have gotten otherwise. I also was able to talk about music composition and film music with him which I found very helpful given that is what I want to pursue in the future. The piano masterclass was another great experience. Although I was nervous at first because I had never done anything like this, everyone, including Dr. Osmun, were supportive; I am very thankful that I was invited to the masterclass and the opportunity to have a private lesson.”
— Basile Humbert, Year 12 IB music student

making season 4 Count
Ana Bolakoso 10V, Tiger Sports Council
HOW YEAR10+ STUDENT-ATHLETES CAN MAXIMISE THE OFF-SEASON
For student-athletes, the school year often revolves around Seasons 1 to 3 — packed calendars, daily training, weekend fixtures, and regional travel for events like SEASAC and FOBISIA. But what about Season 4? Often seen as a quieter period, the off-season is actually a golden opportunity to reset, rebuild, and get ahead — both athletically and academically. Here’s how studentathletes can make Season 4 count.
1. Skill Development: Time to Sharpen the Tools
Without the pressure of weekly competition, the offseason is perfect for refining sport-specific skills. Whether it’s adjusting your shooting technique, perfecting your footwork, or increasing your reaction speed, this is the time to break down mechanics and rebuild them better. Small group or individual coaching sessions, video analysis, and skill drills can elevate performance before the next season begins.
2. Addressing Muscle Imbalances and Strength and Conditioning
High-level sport places repeated stress on the same muscle groups, often leading to imbalances that increase the risk of injury. Season 4 is the ideal time to work with strength and conditioning coaches to assess and address these issues. A well-structured gym programme should include mobility work, core stability, and strength-building tailored to your sport. Fixing weaknesses now leads to fewer injuries and better performance later. Year12 and 13 have gym priviledges before and after school once you’ve completed the induction programme, and for everyone else don’t forget the Tuesday/Thursday morning S & C available at the Shark Tank.
3. Cross-Training for Balance and Fun
Cross-training is a fantastic way to maintain fitness without the mental and physical strain of constant repetition. Swimming, yoga, dance, pilates, or even a different sport entirely can improve your cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, and coordination. It also keeps training fun and varied, giving your mind a break from the rigours of competitive play while still making progress. Check out the Block 4 ECA options.
4. Mental Recovery and Resilience
Season 4 should also be a time for psychological recovery. Burnout is real — especially for student-athletes balancing academic pressures with high-level sport.
