Tara received her award from the Deputy Minister of Education, Mr Surasak Phancharoenworakul at the prestigious ceremony held on 8 January. What an amazing accomplishment—way to go, Tara!

Big congratulations to Jackfruit (Year 9) for his incredible achievement in the PTT - NSDF Lawn Tennis Development Master Round 2024! At just 13 year-old, Jackfruit competed against the top 16 youth players in the Boys' Singles Under 14 category and proudly finished in 3rd place. Despite still being underage for the division, he made it to the semifinals where he lost to the eventual champion. What an amazing milestone in his tennis journey—keep up the great work, Jackfruit!
