Deciding where to continue one\u2019s academic journey after secondary school can be a challenging and exciting experience. For some students, it means continuing in the same school where they have already spent years. This is the case for many students who chose to continue at DBS Sixth Form, where the journey to Year 12 and 13 \u2013 the last phase of their school lives \u2013 has been filled with challenges and rewards. BamBam and Mild, two pioneering students and the head students at DBS, have shared their reflections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BamBam and Mild were the first cohort of students to attend DBS Sixth Form, and they were excited about being part of something new and challenging and witnessing the development of others. However, they felt the pressure of being role models for the juniors. Despite the challenges, both students have found support from their teachers and peers. They appreciate the close-knit community of DBS and the respect that teachers nurture each student\u2019s individuality.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-column gdlr-core-column-60 gdlr-core-column-first\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-column-content-margin gdlr-core-js \">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-column-content clearfix gdlr-core-js \">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-element\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-image-item gdlr-core-item-pdb gdlr-core-center-align gdlr-core-item-pdlr\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-image-item-wrap gdlr-core-media-image gdlr-core-image-item-style-rectangle\" style=\"border-width: 0px;\"><a class=\"gdlr-core-lightgallery gdlr-core-js \" href=\"https:\/\/www.dbsbangkok.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/life-at-dbs-sixth-form-insights-01-scaled.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"life-at-dbs-sixth-form-insights-01\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dbsbangkok.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/life-at-dbs-sixth-form-insights-01-scaled.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"450\" \/><i class=\"gdlr-core-image-overlay-icon gdlr-core-size-22 fa fa-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-column gdlr-core-column-60 gdlr-core-column-first\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-column-content-margin gdlr-core-js \">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-column-content clearfix gdlr-core-js \">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-element\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-text-box-item gdlr-core-item-pdlr gdlr-core-item-pdb gdlr-core-left-align\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-text-box-item-content\" style=\"text-transform: none;\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Head Students, BamBam and Mild have used their positions to foster a sense of community, school spirit, and academic excellence. Leadership is not just a position but an opportunity to create positive change. They have seen many positive aspects of their experience at DBS, such as the supportive community, academic excellence, and support from teachers. They also recognise areas with the vast improvements the school has made, such as offering more opportunities for sports and music and the opportunity to compete with other students on the International circuit. They believe that students need to have a holistic education and have emphasised the importance of these opportunities and know the strong influence their student\u2019s voice has played in driving the school forwards; always to greater things.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-column gdlr-core-column-30 gdlr-core-column-first\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-column-content-margin gdlr-core-js \">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-column-content clearfix gdlr-core-js \">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-element\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-image-item gdlr-core-item-pdb gdlr-core-center-align gdlr-core-item-pdlr\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-image-item-wrap gdlr-core-media-image gdlr-core-image-item-style-rectangle\" style=\"border-width: 0px;\"><a class=\"gdlr-core-lightgallery gdlr-core-js \" href=\"https:\/\/www.dbsbangkok.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/life-at-dbs-sixth-form-insights-03-scaled.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"life-at-dbs-sixth-form-insights-03\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dbsbangkok.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/life-at-dbs-sixth-form-insights-03-scaled.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" \/><i class=\"gdlr-core-image-overlay-icon gdlr-core-size-22 fa fa-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-column gdlr-core-column-30\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-column-content-margin gdlr-core-js \">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-column-content clearfix gdlr-core-js \">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-element\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-image-item gdlr-core-item-pdb gdlr-core-center-align gdlr-core-item-pdlr\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-image-item-wrap gdlr-core-media-image gdlr-core-image-item-style-rectangle\" style=\"border-width: 0px;\"><a class=\"gdlr-core-lightgallery gdlr-core-js \" href=\"https:\/\/www.dbsbangkok.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/life-at-dbs-sixth-form-insights-02-scaled.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"life-at-dbs-sixth-form-insights-02\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dbsbangkok.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/life-at-dbs-sixth-form-insights-02-scaled.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" \/><i class=\"gdlr-core-image-overlay-icon gdlr-core-size-22 fa fa-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-column gdlr-core-column-60 gdlr-core-column-first\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-column-content-margin gdlr-core-js \">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-column-content clearfix gdlr-core-js \">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-element\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-text-box-item gdlr-core-item-pdlr gdlr-core-item-pdb gdlr-core-left-align\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-text-box-item-content\" style=\"text-transform: none;\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regarding the school\u2019s culture, BamBam and Mild have seen a respectful and friendly environment. The school values Thai values in a global context, and the students appreciate the trust between students and teachers and the safety of the school. They also feel a sense of belonging, which is crucial in the academic journey. They suggest talking to friends, seeking guidance from the counselor provided by the school, and taking weekends off to recharge to avoid stress and burnout.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, BamBam and Mild\u2019s journey at DBS Sixth Form has been filled with high expectations, ambition, challenges, and rewards.
