Shrewsbury will be celebrating Chinese New Year  on 5th February, and hope to see many students getting into the spirit by wearing traditional Chinese costume.

SP will be selling a range of traditional, colourful Chinese outfits before and after school on 18,19,20 January. Please come along to see what we’ve got on offer. Many thanks for your continuous support!!

19 swimmers competed this morning in their first ever swim meet at the Bangkok Prep Puppy Cup. The meet was open to only those swimmers who were not selected for the recent ISB SwimFest and contained many of our Year 2 swim team and Development Squad.

The swimmers competed in 6 events; 25m Freestyle, 50m Freestyle, 25m Backstroke, 25m Breaststroke, 25m Butterfly and a relay.

Many swimmers achieved a personal best time, some achieved heat winner ribbons and many achieved event medals.

In the overall points score Shrewsbury placed first to win the first every Bangkok Prep Puppy Cup. A huge congratulations to everyone who took part in this wonderfully friendly yet still highly competitive swim meet.

Any swimmers who are interested in joining the swim team should register for stroke school this week during the You Time enrollment block, in week 7 a time trial is held where swimmers can enter either the Year 2 Swim Squad or Development Squad.
