ISC discovers Hilton’s World of Chocolate
Thank you to the Hilton staff!
Bee Nutchaya
Year 2, 3 and 4 children from the International School of Chonburi
have had a chocolaty term learning about their topic ‘From Bean to Bar’.
They have investigated the journey of chocolate and found out where in the
world cocoa is grown. This topic has taken them back in time to when the
Aztecs were besotted by drinking it, through Willy Wonka’s magnificent
factory, into the kitchen to create their own chocolate bar, behind the lens
to produce their very own chocolate bar adverts and finally to the high
heights of the Hilton to experience chocolate making by professionals. The
bakery team at the Hilton put on a ‘choctastic’ performance at the Horizon
Restaurant.
The children felt real cocoa pods, watched a video about the history of
chocolate, participated in a chocolate quiz (obviously rewarded with
chocolate!), watched the team make chocolate decorations which they
themselves then made and ate. It was a magical experience and it has been an
exceptional way of learning about something which we all love very much.
Learning how to decorate with chocolate.
“This is a cocoa bean?”
Heewon practicing her decorating.
Giulia’s verdict - “Delicious!”

Officials have begun planning for Pattaya’s first scout assembly to be
held over three days in February.
Deputy Mayor Wattana Chantanawaranon chaired the Oct. 16 meeting on the
assembly, which is aimed at instilling morals, ethics, discipline and unity in
youths.
Each school will send 64 students split into eight squads and two divisions to
attend the assembly at the Eastern National Indoor Stadium.
Record number of Regents’ students aim for Oxford and Cambridge
Year 13 students from Regents on
an Outdoor Education expedition last month.

Year 13 students at Regents International School Pattaya are setting
their sights high this year, with four of the 45 International Baccalaureate
Diploma candidates submitting applications to join degree courses at the
world-leading universities of Oxford and Cambridge in the UK.
The four have their work cut out for them, having applied for some of the most
popular - and thus highly competitive - degree courses on offer at Oxford and
Cambridge. Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE), Law, and Economics and
Management are the degrees of choice for the Oxford applicants, and Natural
Sciences for the Cambridge applicant.
The ambition demonstrated by every member of this year’s graduation cohort owes
much to the impressive performance of last year’s graduates from the British
international school, who scored on average 33 points in the IB Diploma
Programme - more than 3 points higher than the global average. Three of those
students achieved 40 or more points, recognized as the hallmark of an
outstanding individual performance.
Head of Sixth Form, Rachel Batty commented, “At Regents, we believe that all
students have the potential to become confident, independent learners who will
achieve highly. When you combine that outlook with a large staff of very capable
and motivated teachers who are specialists in their field, a great number of
potential subject combinations and facilities which help prepare students for
undergraduate life, it’s no wonder that results at Regents have improved
significantly over the last two years. So, too, have our students’ success at
obtaining places at excellent universities around the world.”
