On January 20th, DWS students in Grades 7–12 participated in the 73rd Thailand Student Arts & Crafts Competition, a national educational event organized under the Ministry of Education of Thailand. The competition showcases student achievement across a wide range of fields including academic subjects, STEM, technology, cultural arts, visual arts, handicrafts, music, and citizenship. DWS students earned an outstanding 40 top awards across 14 distinct subject categories.

We are especially proud of our students for receiving the school’s first-ever award in robotics, earned by designing, building, and programming a robot entirely from scratch. We also extend our sincere gratitude to Dr. Stuart Kohlhagen for his continued mentorship and guidance, which played an important role in supporting both students and teachers in reaching this milestone.

We admire our students’ courage, dedication, and perseverance, and we thank our teachers for guiding and supporting them with such heart and commitment. Beyond rankings and awards, every student is a source of pride for the DWS community. We encourage all students to continue growing with confidence and embracing new challenges to reach their fullest potential.
