Sports
Here at Satit Prasarnmit International Programme we are serious about sport, and provide a variety of sports teams for both boys and girls. We encourage the young people at our school to have a passion for fair play during any sporting competition.
SPIP’s traditionally provides a broad and holistic approach to participation, and our main aim as school is to provide ‘sport participation for all, whilst striving for excellence.’
We are firm in our belief that sport for all should be a part of school life and is crucial in the development of a young learner’s personal qualities. During PE lessons our specialist teachers deliver a broad and balanced curriculum of games, athletics, fitness & swimming.
Through the promotion of achievement, progress, encouragement and excellence we look to nurture each student’s inner athlete, and seek to provide the concept of sport and exercise is for life.
Some students will wish to push themselves to achieve team selection and others will simply enjoy the fun of being part of representing their House at Sports Day, Swimming Gala and Inter House Games.
Sport Competition

GBAC’s aim is to provide a sports league to schools in Bangkok that encourages healthy participation through fair play, friendly competition, and athletic growth.
