Message from the Editor
Dear St Andrews Green Valley Community,
As we wrap up our final issue of the semester, I’m excited to leave you all with a final gift: our Teacher Winter Superlatives (as voted by our IB students). These superlatives capture the personality and quirks of the teachers who somehow keep this place running (even when the AC is freezing and the deadlines are not)
This list is about celebrating the little things that make our school feel alive However, we want to thank ALL our teachers, from the ones who make us laugh to the ones who somehow manage to stay calm through anything (including a school-wide WiFi meltdown) We want to say a small thank-you to the people who show up every day and shape our routines without us even realizing it
As we head into winter break, I hope this issue brings you a smile or at least confirmation that we’re all working under the same cold classroom vents and festively bound together by the silent suffering of preparing for the incoming Year 11 and Year 13 mock exams.
Thank you for reading, thank you for supporting our paper, and thank you for being part of another wonderful semester Have an amazing break, where I hope we all return rested, reset, and unfrozen.
Best regards,
Fawn Tozer Editor-in-Chief

WHY CAN’T SANTA GIVE EVERYONE PRESENTS?
By Xinyi
NO! IT’S NOT BECAUSE YOU’RE ON THE NAUGHTY LIST
EVERY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE WONDERS WHY SANTA CAN’T GIVE EVERYONE PRESENTS - AFTER THIS ARTICLE, YOU’LL UNDERSTAND THE ECONOMIC WISDOM BEHIND HIS CHOICES
SOME MICROECONOMIC NEWS & LESSONS WITH A CHRISTMAS �� THEME (CETERIS PARIBUS):
Every Christmas, there’s a demand for an abundance of gifts, and most of those are “wants”; things people would like to have but are not essential for living. However, the production possibility curve illustrates that there’s a limited amount of produce due to limiting factors of production: land, labour, capital, and entrepreneurship.
Land refers to the raw materials needed to produce gifts Even at the North Pole, the resources are limited, and if Santa uses too much, he risks resource depletion.
The elves represent labour that is limited because elves can only work under the maximum working hours regulated by the government. Plus, their skills and productivity are not infinite With 8 1 billion people, Santa would need to deliver about 187,500 presents per second. Even with magic reindeer, that’s a logistical nightmare.
Capital includes all the tools used to produce gifts, like machinery Although more capital can increase efficiency and lower production cost per product, it requires investment and maintenance If Santa’s sleigh breaks down, both production and delivery stop, showing the dependence on capital.
Santa himself is the entrepreneur, and his job involves taking risks, innovating, and maximizing efficiency.
Because these factors of production are limited but wants are unlimited, this creates the ultimate economic problem: scarcity. When there’s scarcity, opportunity cost appears. Since Santa cannot give gifts to everyone, he must choose Tradition says he prioritises the kindest children, but in reality, that’s just an allocation method
However, the rising population means there’s more competition Even if you’re as good as last year, the “kindness standard” increases, just like how inflation works. According to the law of supply and demand, an increase in the global population will shift the demand curve to the right, and an increase in demand will lead to an increase in price, or whatever rationing mechanism is being used.

By Xinyi
This mirrors real-world inflation: people say they want more money, but what they actually want is real income, or income adjusted for inflation. Money without purchasing power is just paper
A recent news report says that prices in the UK rose by 3.8% in the year to September, staying above the Bank of England’s 2% target The Bank has already cut interest rates five times since August 2024 in an attempt to stabilise the economy.
And if Santa tried to give everyone gifts anyway, it wouldn’t be generosity - it would be evil.
If Santa placed the “price” of gifts way below the market equilibrium, that would be a form of predatory pricing. If you haven’t taken IB economics, you might think a very low price is good because it’s cheaper for consumers But the demand and supply diagram shows that when the price decreases, the quantity demanded increasesespecially since the demand for gifts is usually price elastic.
Predatory pricing works well for price-elastic products because consumers are highly sensitive to price changes and likely to choose the cheaper option This enables a firm to rapidly gain market share and drive out competitors. After competitors are eliminated, the firm raises prices to recoup losses and increase profits, potentially leading to a monopoly and higher prices for consumers in the long run This practice is illegal in many countries, including the United States and the UK, but can be difficult to prove. It creates disequilibrium, which can lead to market failure and eventually government intervention
So if Santa did this, he could be arrested, since governments always intervene to prevent firms from flooding the market to create monopolies and increase market failure. On top of that, the total supply of goods in the world would skyrocket. Gifts would become less special, similar to what happens when governments print too much money. If everyone gets free goods every year, people may value them less, and productivity may drop due to distorted incentives. “Free presents for all” sounds magical, but economically, it’s chaotic
After evaluating the consequences, not only is Santa not evil for not giving everyone gifts, but ironically, he would actually be evil if he did It would lead to market disequilibrium, market failure, overallocation of resources, and overconsumption. And on top of that, how do you even define kindness? Morality has been debated since human civilization began…
Your Monthly Review!

A Christmas time!
I love Christmas, you love Christmas, let’s be honest, we all love it! The lights and the feeling of being together - well-known attributes, which define this thrilling time and make us feel that very familiar spirit
Still, throughout my entire life, I’ve never experienced two identical Christmases, even quite similar Think about it: once you might spend it reflecting, another time dreaming, and often simply laughing all night! That’s why I believe that each year becomes unique, when we find ourselves in a different mood or even stage of our lives
So, in my “professional opinion”, these three wonderful films fully capture such a variety of vibes, proving that while the spirit of Christmas unites us, the way we experience it is what really makes every moment precious!
A CHRISTMAS CAROL ( 7/10��)
For those philosophers who think of Christmas as a time to reflect on the past or discuss some deep questions, A Christmas Carol speaks directly to you and your soul. Through Ebenezer Scrooge's quite frightening yet hopeful adventure of redemption, we reopen the door of kindness, forgiveness, and compassion. What a great time, witnessing a genuine transformation and the personal growth of one old man’s soul full of anger!
KLAUS (8/10��)
If A Christmas Carol is about redemption, Klaus is more about the power of creation, the birth of a pure spark of light in the world, which has completely forgotten simple joys. The story of postman Jesper and old toymaker Klaus is the origin of legendary Santa Claus and what once pushed him to keep spreading happiness all over the world!
On the one hand, it’s another fairytale-like story, but hey! Don’t you think that described world is kinda similar to ours? Every time we lock in, focus on responsibilities, and look at what’s going on in the world, we lose it We lose the passion!? What if the Christmas Spirit starts with a letter and a toy?
ALONE (8/10��)
And here’s the cherry on a cream - Home Alone, the ABSOLUTE CINEMA! The iconic story of Kevin McCallister, full of humor and pure chaos at its heart. And what I like is the main idea of how meaningful it is to catch every moment with our families and realize their contribution to our lives in general.
Of course, the majority of you might have watched it already, but this film is an exception because of its rewatchability. For example, my streak is three Christmases in a row, and every time I find something new in the same story. Don’t you think that’s impressive?

Seasonal review
With the Christmas season just around the corner, our Dutch and French students have plenty to look forward to as they prepare to celebrate the traditions of their nations From late November festivities in the Netherlands, to festive feasts in France, the holiday spirit brings excitement, warmth, and a touch of home to students celebrating in their own unique ways.
Dutch Christmas Traditions
In the Netherlands, Christmas doesn’t begin on December 25, in fact, the festivities start almost a month earlier. In mid-November, Sinterklaas, dressed in his traditional red bishop’s robes, arrives from Spain on his stoomboot (steamboat). His arrival is broadcast across the country and marks the official start of the Dutch holiday season!
The highlight of this celebration is Sinterklaasavond, also known as Pakjesavond, on December 5th That evening, children place their shoes by the fireplace (much like Christmas stockings) in hopes of finding small gifts and sweets inside. Families exchange presents as well, often accompanied by cheerful rhyme poems, which contain hints about what’s inside the present and must be read aloud before opening the gift.
After the excitement of Sinterklaas, December 25th and 26th are celebrated as First and Second Christmas Day. These are quieter, family-centered days spent enjoying long meals, special desserts, and the cozy togetherness the Dutch call gezelligheid
French Christmas Traditions
In France, Christmas, known as Noël, is a season filled with food, family, and festive celebrations While decorations and Christmas markets appear throughout December, the main celebration happens on Christmas Eve, during a special late-night feast called Le Réveillon.
This meal can be very elaborate: many families enjoy dishes such as roast turkey or duck, oysters, smoked salmon, and rich pâtés. The most iconic French Christmas dessert is the bouche de Noël, a sponge cake decorated to look like a Yule log, often covered in chocolate, cream, or chestnut filling.
The French youngsters eagerly await Père Noël, the French version of Santa Claus, who brings gifts on the night of December 24th. Similar to Dutch traditions, in many homes, children set out their shoes by the fireplace, hoping to find them filled with treats and surprises on Christmas Day!
Whether through midnight feasts, Christmas markets, or the arrival of Père Noël, French holiday traditions focus on warmth, togetherness, and enjoying time with loved ones.
Sick of It: Beyond the Festive Glow

The Season
Why holidays can be emotionally complicated
High expectations and social pressure
Holidays are often portrayed as joyful and perfect: fun family cheer everywhere! However, when your actual experience doesn’t match what you see in the media, it can leave you feeling isolated or “less than.”
Loneliness & separation from loved ones
Are you away from home? Are your friends or family far? Distance and its loneliness becomes louder around this time, and it’s a common trigger for emotional stress or holiday-related depression.
Busy schedules and burnout
In many families, holidays come with extra obligations: organising gatherings, balancing social events, helping with preparationsleading to stress or emotional overload.
While the term Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is widely known, it’s usually linked to dark winters and is less relevant in Thailand’s yearround sunlight. Still, people here can struggle during the holidays for other reasons, like not celebrating Christmas or feeling disconnected from major cultural global traditions
The Storm
What holiday blues look like
According to health professionals, some signs that holiday-related sadness might be more serious include:
Persistent sadness or low mood for many days
Losing interest in activities you usually enjoy
Feeling anxious, on edge, or emotionally numb
Trouble sleeping (sleeping too much or having insomnia)
Changes in appetite
Feeling hopeless, guilty, or worthless, thinking “What’s the point?”
If you notice these feelings in yourself, it’s a sign you deserve care and support. Talking to a trusted friend, family member, or our school counselor Ms. Natalie, can make a difference

Panthers on the Prowl
by Maddie
At just 17 years old, Rayan Caretti is balancing the demands of the Year 13 International Baccalaureate at St Andrews Green Valley while pursuing one of the toughest dreams in sport: a professional Formula racing career. Holding French, Senegalese, and Thai nationality, Rayan has continued to rise through the ranks of junior motorsport In the 2025 French Formula 4 Championship (FFSA Academy), he delivered his strongest season yet - finishing 4th overall with 153 points Across 12 races, he secured 2 wins, 4 podium finishes, 1 fastest lap, and consistently demonstrated the pace of a front-running driver
His progress earned him a place among the top 20 Formula 4 drivers in the world at the prestigious FIA F4 World Cup in Macau.
Macau proved to be intense, challenging, and unforgettable Rayan showed strong pace all weekend, including an incredible remontada in the qualifying race, climbing from P15 to P3. His determination and racecraft were on full display.
The main race brought even more excitement After a strong start, Rayan fought his way into the lead on one of the world’s most demanding street circuits However, with just under three laps to go, a small mistake sent him into the wall, forcing him to retire early
“It wasn’t the ending I wanted,” Rayan said. “I really wanted to reward everyone with a strong result. But I’m proud of the progress, the fighting spirit, and everything we learned This experience will make me grow stronger ”
Despite the setback, Rayan’s performance in Macau showed his potential at the highest level of junior motorsport His resilience, speed, and continual improvement continue to inspire the St Andrews community as he rises through the international racing ranks
INTERVIEW
When was the moment you realised you want to get into racing?
Rayan: When I was about 5 years old, my dad took me to a go-cart track and told me to try it out Once I tried it, I liked it and I decided that this is what I want to do for a living.
How did you feel after your first race?
Rayan: On my first race, I won and I was very happy and proud of myself. I broke the lap record with only 2 months of driving experience
What is the biggest challenge you had to face?
Rayan: Probably the doubt Thinking that I’m not good enough to keep going
What is one of the best moments in your career so far?
Rayan: I would probably say in August when I had a race weekend in France I had no car problems or nothing, everything was perfect and I won ⅔ races on that weekend so that is probably the highlight
Does racing interfere with your education and learning? How do you balance it out?
Rayan: I don’t balance it out I try to, but it’s very difficult
Where do you see yourself in the next 5-10 years?
Rayan: Hopefully in F1, if not I see myself getting paid to drive
What advice would you give to someone trying to find their passion, like your passion for racing?
Rayan: Just keep going Don’t give up and even though it gets hard, just know, it always gets better no matter what Keep going, keep working hard and don’t be lazy because that’s the most stupid thing you can do If you’re lazy, you won’t do well

What’s the most controversial educational opinion you hold (but you knowyou’reright)?
Not sure on this one, but I do believe homework should be done regularly to reinforce the understanding and to enable me as a teacher to see what they do not understand. Of course students need to learn to inform teachers when they do not understand ratherthantofindoutonceatesthasbeencompleted.
And......
That at times it is ok for students to fail as it is a learning exercise and enables misunderstandings to be corrected Sometimes in other schools not ours) teachers make assessments which are designed to tryandeliminate“failing”
Today we’ve been given the chance to peer into the incredible mind of Mr Frost, one of our science teachers Through a quick interview that’s a little different from the usual classroom conversation, we asked a series of fun questions – rather than typical curriculum-related inquiries – to get a glimpse of the personality behind the man in S1. GV TIMES.
If you weren’t a teacher, what different career do you think you’d thrive in?
Many things – however at my age it should say could have thrived in – forensics, criminal law, etc
If your subject disappeared tomorrow, what would you teach instead?
Cannot answer that. It would be like asking what if oxygen were to be eliminated from air and what would I use for aerobic respiration
Do you have a guilty pleasure TV show, book, or movie?
Guilt is overrated I enjoy what I enjoy But yes I do watch many science-fiction movies that I find online – but of course I look at the science in them critically.
If you could room with any fictional character or celebrity,whowoulditbeandwhy?
Ford Prefect because he is always curious, always exploring, and never afraid to dive into the unknown. Plus, he lives by the “ don’t panic “ and “Don’t Panic” is basically a good rule in science too: stay calm, think logically, and problem-solve when things go wrong in the laborclassroomorinreallife!
If you could instantly master one hobby or skill, what woulditbe?
Unsureonthis,beingabletoplayaguitarnotjustwellbut incrediblywell.
Andofcoursebeingabletodraw.
If a superhero could come and help teach your class for aday,whowouldyouchoose?
Iron man, if anything broke he could build a new one andIwouldgethimtotech-upmylabsomethingcrazy
Describeyourselfin3words
Inquisitive.Analytical.Adaptable.
Is there a thought, quote, or idea that really inspires you as a teacher that you wish to impart onstudents?
“Science isn’t about memorizing facts – it’s about asking questions and never losing your curiosity. The most powerful tool you’ll ever have is the abilitytowonder.”
–-CarlSaganandRichardFeynman

Thank you to Mr. Frost for taking the time to play along with our questions. It was a refreshing look at the , interests and quirks that make their classroom such an enjoyable place to be. We hope you enjoy this lighter,morepersonalsnapshotofoneofourscienceteachers.

A zombie apocalypse has broken out and you are stuck in school. Zombies are roaming the campus, communications are down and worst of all: there’s no WiFi. Help will arrive in a week. The only way to survive is to pick a classroom to persevere in.
Ms Cave’s Room (Room 217)
Our journey begins in Room 218 in TB2. Located as the leftmost classroom in TB2, Ms Cave’s room is the English room. It has one leading into the hallway. One side of the room is completely covered, while the other side is mainly windows. With only one door, the room is easy to barricade against zombies. From the hallway, unlike most classrooms, it’s hidden by walls, which makes it a secure location during a crisis.
Furthermore, the classroom is not in close proximity to the staircase where zombies would enter the second floor through. In terms of supplies, the room doesn’t offer much. Due to school rules, food is not permitted to be kept in classrooms. However, there is a water fountain in the hallway, and the bathrooms are close by, which slightly improves its practicality
This classroom is one of the greatest in the school to hide in as every side is covered. The tinted windows make it difficult for anyone outside to see in Along one side of the room, the windows provide a view of the walkways. While the room is one the smaller size and can fit around 20 students comfortably, its compact size also makes it easier to manage and defend against zombies.
Positioned near the emergency stair exits, Ms Cave’s room has quick access to both the coffee shop and the car park. Being on the second floor also adds an advantage for safety, separating from the ground where most zombies will be roaming. In order to survive for a week, the room must provide some comfort but there aren’t many soft or comfortable surfaces in the classroom so resting and sleeping will not be easy. However, for entertainment, there is a bookshelf available
27/35
Mr Jenkins’ Room (Room 218)
Right next door is the history classroom which is located on the left side of the TB2 upper floor hallway. There are two entrance points: the hallway door and the shared door with Mr Amos’ room that has questionable sound proofing. Like the majority of classrooms in the TB2 hallways, the innermost walls are made of glass. And unlike its neighbor, there are no tables blocking the zombies from easily reaching the windows, making it an incredibly vulnerable location.
However, there is more furniture in this room which could be arranged to create hiding spots. Food is once more out of the picture and the water fountain is the only source of any water. Zombies would be able to spot people within the room as there simply isn’t enough furniture to hide or barricade effectively (assuming all furniture has been used to barricade rather than create hiding spots).
The room is medium sized and can fit around 25 people comfortably with 10 tables The room is also located close to the emergency exit stairs. In all the TB2 classrooms, this room ranks highest for comfortability as it has: sofas, bean bags and carpets making a week’s stay more enjoyable. Additionally, there are a lot of posters on the walls that could entertain someone.

School: 4/5 lity: 5/5
Mr Cook’s Room (Room 213)
Along the hallway brings us to the business classroom; it is positioned on the left side of the TB2 upper floor hallway. There are two doors which lead into the room: the entrance and the shared door between Mr Cook’s and Mr Dan’s room (the computer lab). The classroom’s exterior is covered with glass which is easy for zombies to break through. Furthermore, there wouldn’t be enough items to block and barricade successfully.
But there is a row of tables with computers on top, becoming an obstacle for the zombies, so it would be more difficult for the zombies to reach the windows. While once again food is scarce, there is a water fountain in the hallway. Similarly, to Ms Cave’s room, the classroom is in close proximity to the bathrooms.
In this room, hiding would be a struggle due to the lack of blind spots because of the glass wall and the lack of furniture that can hide a student For surveillance, there is a wide view of the football fields and the coffee shop can be seen. However, from the outside the windows are tinted.
The room is medium sized and can fit around 25 people and has 12 tables. Its location is beneficial as it is close to the emergency stair exits which leads to the coffee shop and the car park, near where rescuers would be after a week. Near the whiteboards, there are carpets, which are known to trip people, where students can sleep. On the other hand, there aren’t many forms of entertainment unless you are able to find the fun in a business textbook.
19/35
Mr Amos’ Room (Room 219)
Connecting to Mr Jenkins’ room is the English / Theory Of Knowledge room which is located center left of the TB2 hallway. As mentioned, there is a side entrance and an entrance door. Similarly, the hallway wall is made of glass. In order to defend against the zombies, people inside this room would have to stack the tables and chairs to block the wall and door.
As we move further along the hallway, the rooms are closer to the water fountain From the outside the room, it is easy to look inside. On the other side of the room, there is a window overlooking the walkways. Mr Amos’ room is similar in size to the other two previous rooms and so it fits 25 people but it has 11 tables.
Now in the center of the hallway, getting to the emergency exit stairs is becoming harder as the route is extending and there would be more zombies to avoid. However the room is quite close to the stairs leading to the second floor While it would become a longer exit route, there are more chances of escaping the building quicker. For comfortability, there are no soft surfaces but as it is an English room there are books for entertainment or during a week you could think of all the great philosphical questions
19/35
Mr Hill’s Room (Room 212)
Also known as the TB2 computer lab, Mr Dan’s room is next to be evaluated. It is center left in the TB2 hallway sharing a door with Mr Cook’s room. Compared to other classrooms on this list, there are a lot more items that could be added to a barricade even despite there being a lot of windows boosting this room’s score higher than similar classrooms. Furthermore, there is a row of tables with computers on top increasing the difficulty for zombies to reach the windows.
Reported by his students, the teacher keeps sweets and other snacks in his classroom becoming one of the only classrooms that have food inside. Moreover, the water fountain is directly in front of the class. If people inside the room were greedy, they could just bring it inside to keep as their own. As for the walls, the wide walls are made of glass which makes it easy to look inside and one wall is tinted glass. Since there is a line of tables, some cover is added to the glass walls. And, due to the amount of desks with a wall underneath the actual table, it is easy to hide a large group of people from zombie onlookers.
From inside the classroom, the sports fields and hallway are visible. While the classroom is fairly big, a lot of space is occupied by the rows of computers. An estimate of 15 people can fit comfortably here. As for location, the room is near the staircase, leading to the upper floor but is relatively far from the exit stairs. This classroom is one of the only ones with a full carpet floor coverage making it a softer surface to wait a week for rescuers in. While there is no internet or signal, th many computers where you can play the no-internet dinosaur game.
