Gold Crown Competition?

[foolforlove]

Hi,

I am tutoring an M3 student from Rangsit who is being sent to an English competition in late November.

The competition, he says, is called "Gold Crown" or perhaps "Golden Crown".

I have never heard of this.

It involves a written test or two, plus a speaking competition.

Anyone know anything about this? Google has not turned up anything.

Thanks!!

There area lot of competitions--some which are related to a group of schools. Do you have any more information than this? Where is it held, how many schools, etc.?

The student attends "Satit Bilingual School (SBS) of Rangsit University".

I don't know where its held or how many schools.

Believe me, I have asked. The student is unaggressive plying their teacher for more details.

But I will try again tonight to see if I can get more.

Sometimes the teachers don't know themselves. I am aware of directors who agree to send students to something and then don't let the teachers know what it is all about, who is attending etc.

Of course, it would be considered disrespectful to ask, so everyone continues in ignorance.

Our school once won a music competition because the song they competed with was in English--which all choral groups were supposed to do. The next one we lost because our song was in English. The Admin simply didn't tell anyone! Such is life in Thailand.

Best of luck.
