Excellence in Schools | DISCOVER | EDUCATION ASIA | 77
Located within the renowned Thanyapura Sports and Health Resort in Thalang, the school enjoys immediate access to world-class sporting and wellness facilities, including Olympic-standard swimming and athletics. These are not future ambitions but established facilities that will form part of everyday school life. Importantly, many will also be available to families, helping create a genuine community hub centred on sport, health and wellbeing. It is a setting that reflects Phuket itself; active, international and outward-looking. The founding leadership team is one of the school’s greatest strengths. Founding Head of School, Dr Stuart Tasker, brings extensive international experience, having led schools in New Zealand, Indonesia, China and Thailand, including 11 years as a principal in the country. His understanding of both international education and the local context will be invaluable. Alongside him is Emma McCarthy, Head of Primary and Early Years, who brings more than 20 years of experience, including senior leadership in England and seven years as Deputy Principal at a leading British international school in Thailand. Supported by an experienced administrative team and internationally recruited staff, the foundations have been carefully laid.
