Grade 6 Week Without Walls:
Exploring Khao Yai From November 12 -15 , 2024, our Grade 6 students embarked th

on an unforgettable adventure in Khao Yai, immersing themselves in nature, sustainability, and teamwork. Staying at Vivace Khao Yai Resort, we bonded over fun activities, good food, and late-night laughs.
We kicked off our trip at Uncle Chris’ Farm, where students built water filters and hiked through lush trails. At EGAT Learning Center, they learned about Thailand’s energy conservation, while Green Me Organic Farm showed them sustainable farming in action. Visits to Saisook and Panna Backyard added more hands-on experiences, from eco-friendly crafts to making and floating Krathongs, a highlight of the trip.
