in 14 sports at the “Korat Games,” including track, table tennis,
boccia, badminton, petanque, weightlifting, archery, shooting,
volleyball, swimming, wheelchair tennis, basketball and fencing.
Many of the athletes going to the national games recently participated
in the ASEAN Para Games in South Korea, he said.

The school has organized the Father Ray Awards for students to take part
in academic competitions. It is also offering activities for students to
help communities by coordinating with Pattaya and the Chonburi
Provincial Administrative Organization for electrical repair services in
