This year’s trip to Singapore for the FOBISIA Gymnastics was one we will remember for a very long time. Sixty-one students travelled to compete alongside more than 600 gymnasts, representing 27 schools from across Asia.

Our competition venue, The Yard Gymnastics Centre, greeted us with a level of glitz and glamour we are certainly not accustomed to. Bright lights, cameras and an atmosphere buzzing with energy could easily have overwhelmed even the most experienced gymnasts. Yet, our students took it all in stride. They performed with precision and confidence, unfazed by the cameras capturing every moment. Their ability to stay focused in such a high pressure environment demonstrated maturity far beyond their years.

As I often emphasise, resilience, confidence and enjoyment are at the heart of our gymnastics philosophy. Over the course of the competition, these qualities shone through in abundance. As they always do, they translated directly into performance and the results were nothing short of extraordinary.

Not only were there multiple individual apparatus and All Around individual podiums, but of the seven teams that we entered, every single one of them was awarded 1st place! This was an exceptional achievement that left coaches and parents speechless. Considering the incredibly high calibre of gymnasts present and the notoriously demanding Singaporean judging panels, the magnitude of this accomplishment cannot be overstated.

What made us even prouder were the comments from the competition organisers. They shared that our students, coaches and parents were among the most respectful in the entire competition, a reflection not only of personal character but of the culture we work so hard to nurture.

At Bangkok Patana, we strive to raise students who are not only strong competitors, but strong human beings. At FOBISIA Gymnastics 2026, our students proved they are both.

A huge congratulations goes to every student who represented Bangkok Patana. Some faced illness, equipment issues, or unexpected mishaps, genuine challenges that could have shaken their confidence. Instead, they bounced back, held their heads high, and carried on with determination. These are the qualities some might dismiss as ‘soft skills’, yet in truth, they are essential foundations of success, in sport and in life.

Beyond the phenomenal results, our students displayed respect, humility, teamwork, and true sportsmanship at every turn. They made Bangkok Patana proud, in every possible way.

We are more than a Team.
We are a Community.
