Student Awards Keep Coming
Mental Math Competition
Dhammajarinee students participated in the 4th National Mental Math Championship—a prestigious contest where competitors solve complex problems entirely in their heads without paper, pens, or calculators. The competition requires focus, speed, and strong analytical thinking. They achieved outstanding national-level results: First Place and Gold Medal in the Upper Primary Level, Third Place and Bronze Medal in the Lower Secondary Level, and an Honorable Mention in the Upper Secondary Level.
National Science Week 2025
At the National Science Week 2025, Dhammajarinee students delivered remarkable performances. In the Bridge Building Competition, they secured First Place in both the Upper Secondary and Lower Secondary categories. The challenge required designing and constructing a structure capable of holding the greatest load, and our teams impressed with their engineering skill, creativity, and precision while competing against many large and well-known schools. In addition, the Upper Secondary team earned Second Place in the Computer Science & Computational Thinking Quiz.
Provincial Science Week Festival
At the 9th Science Week Festival in Ratchaburi Province, our students achieved outstanding success, winning 10 awards across a variety of categories through their talent, dedication, and determination. Highlights included 2 First Places in Computer Graphics and First Place in Group Recitation, along with awards in Moral Storytelling, Chinese Handwriting, Thai Folk Song Singing, and Science Experiment competitions.
Our Sincere Appreciation
As we witness Dhammajarinee’s remarkable progress and success, it is difficult to imagine the challenging backgrounds of poverty and hardship from which these girls have emerged. We are deeply grateful for your generous support, which continues to make possible the transformative power of holistic education.
