The day also highlighted student creativity and learning. Grade 5 and Grade 9 students collaborated on projects connected to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which were showcased during the event. A collage competition titled “Country Impressions” displayed the artistic talents of students and teachers, while performances from students, parents, and staff provided music, dance, and cultural celebration throughout the day, making International Day a memorable reflection of Prem’s diverse community.

During her time on campus, she worked with our Grade 10 students to explore improvisation and composition through listening, response, and experimentation. She also mentored young musicians in the Prem Music Academy through one-to-one sessions and collaborated with our film students to investigate how music can shape the mood and meaning of moving image.

It was a wonderful opportunity for students to experience music not just as performance, but as inquiry, dialogue, and creative discovery.

The evening was a vibrant showcase of diverse performances, from powerful contemporary pieces to high energy group choreography, featuring both Prem students and visiting schools from around the city. More than a performance, it was a celebration of creativity, expression, and shared passion.

The festival created space for collaboration, confidence, and community, highlighting the growing dance culture here at Prem and strengthening connections between schools in Chiang Mai.

Thank you to every dancer, teacher, and supporter who helped make this event such a meaningful celebration of the arts.

With weeks of dedicated preparation, Prem students arrived ready to make an impact. They researched global challenges, honed their arguments, and practiced persuasive speaking. At the conference, they confidently debated, negotiated, and worked as a team—demonstrating key IB Learner Profile attributes such as being knowledgeable, open-minded, and principled. They embraced different perspectives, communicated with clarity, and built meaningful connections with peers from diverse backgrounds.

MUN is more than just a debate—it’s an exciting opportunity for students to develop global citizenship. By tackling complex international issues and considering different cultural viewpoints, they strengthen their leadership, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. They learn to navigate the world with empathy, diplomacy, and a commitment to positive change.

Prem students truly stood out! They engaged in powerful discussions, presented compelling ideas, and worked towards practical solutions that promote peace and global cooperation. Their passion, dedication, and confidence were evident throughout the event.

Experiences like MUN inspire students to become active global citizens, ready to shape the future. We are incredibly proud of their achievements and celebrate their efforts in making a real difference through dialogue and collaboration!
