TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Warm Greetings from the Land of Smiles – the Kingdom of Thailand!
2015 is the year when the 10-member states of ASEAN will be united as one singular market or also known as the ASEAN Economic Community, the first phase of the great plan of making the Southeast Asian Region as one singular community like the European Union (EU).
I believe Thailand is one of the most aggressive nations in promoting this conglomeration. Since 2010, schools in Thailand started making friends with its neighbors by expanding their networks through partnerships in many aspects of ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). Educational partnership is one of those aspects I’m talking about.
In 2013, our school signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to Yishun Town Secondary School and Victoria School in Singapore. The MOU is an agreement between our school and their school about certain activities such having an exchange students, exchange teachers and exchanging ideas through seminar/training on how to improve the teaching of the teachers, school management, etc.
This year, our school is planning to create partnerships with Philippine schools. With the same purpose of knowing their neighboring country more, exchange ideas and the possibility of sending exchange students.
It is for this reason I am writing in behalf our school. First, I would like to give you brief background about or school. Damrongratsongkroh School is a autonomous government national high school. Our school is located at the northernmost province of Thailand – Chiang Rai. Temperature goes down to 5 degrees Celsius from December to February in this part of Thailand. The school’s population is around 3200 including teachers and office personnel. Damrongratsongkroh is a reputable school in Northern Thailand Region. It is the regional center for English for Integrated Studies (EIS) and home to great achievers in many fields of education.
I understand that your institution is a university. I was wondering if you have a laboratory school for secondary school students. If you have, I was thinking if you would be interested in making friends with my school. I think it will be a great opportunity also for our students in the Philippines to learn our neighboring countries through international collaboration; we will be able to improve our educational system at the same time by exchanging ideas with them.
If your school would be interested to the proposed partnership with our school, we would like to avail a two-week rigid English Conversation training course at your school this coming summer (April 2015). Thai students are still on the process of improving their English Communication Skills. They would like to learn more how to speak English well because of the fact that English will be the working language of the whole ASEAN community by 2015.
If there would be a possibility to meet and study with Filipino students that would be great. Our students are incoming third year high school, ages 14-15. They would like to learn about our culture and the beauty of the Philippines by visiting tourist attractions in your city and neighboring islands after their training.
Also, if you could assist us in looking for a cheap accommodation wherein we can stay for two weeks; and means of transport to take us where we want to go, we would really appreciate it.
Please give us details on how much the course would cost us and the details of the two-week training course, accommodation and transportation.
We would also appreciate if you would be interested to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with our school. You can email me back about the things you would like to have in the MOU.
Thai schools visiting our country will bring money to our people, to our country. If you will allow us to avail your training, these people would use their money by buying our products and services. But I hope that the prices you would show me are reasonable so we’ll be able to encourage them to keep coming back year after year after year.
I am looking forward on hearing from you soon. A million thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
MICHAEL B. PABALAN

I think that the statement “CCNSHS has reaped awards in national competitions in the last fifteen years” does not done justice and is a bit unfair for those who graduated before 1997. As one of the pioneer graduates (1976) I know for a fact that from the earliest batches CCNSHS has already won a lot of national and local competitions specially in the field of Science and Mathematics.
