NIST MILLENIUM
Inside this issue: TIME CAPSULE CEREMONY
Feature Story— 1
NIST Millennium On Thursday, December 10, 2009, the New International School of Thailand (NIST) held its
Time Capsule opening ceremony of the NIST Millennium Time Capsule which was buried in 1999 to com-
Ceremony memorate its 10 year anniversary.
Message from 2
The NIST time capsule was created and buried as part of a whole School
NISTAA activity ten years ago during the hype of the millennium and Y2K. Organ-
ized by Ms. Jeryl Bain, the participants were NIST students ranging from
Class of 2000-2015.
Photos from NIST 3 At Thursday‘s opening ceremony, NIST alumni and parents were invited
Millennium Time along with the Year3 students and students from Year 13 who have been
Capsule Ceremony at NIST since 1999. Mr. Adrian Watts, NIST Deputy Head, opened the
ceremony. Mr. Watts remarked that ―time is a fascinating thing and as
part of the PYP programme studying time and history, it is exciting for the
Year3 students to be looking at how we keep records, and pass on history
Bridges Programme 4-5 from generation to generation‖. Mr. Doug Edwards, Elementary vice Prin-
@NIST ciple – Pastoral, presented a short VDO clip of teachers and students
reminiscing about their memories of 1999 and the time capsule.
The time capsule was opened by six year 13 students who have been at
Tribute Section - 6
NIST for the longest. Items such as mobile phones, coins, students‘ work, a
Daniela Pachelt school uniform, newspapers, yearbook, photo stickers, and a VDO tape were
(‘09) revealed. It is sad to note that many items were damaged due to the leak-
age of water inside the time capsule, but many survived intact.
NIST International 7 The Year 3s will re-seal the capsule with new items later this year, to be
opened in another ten year.

Time flies even faster towards the end of the academic year! In This issue, the newsletter features a num-
ber of exciting events that have been happening at NIST over the last few months. After ten years, the time
capsule from the millennium year was finally opened. Unfortunately, most items were soaked in water.
Lesson learned for the next time capsule to be weather proof! Thank you to those alumni who joined us for
the ceremony.
Throughout the academic year, the Bridges programme continues as usual with many interesting guest
speakers from across the fields coming to speak to NIST students including the famous Hollywood actor,
Jackie Chan. It is good news that NIST is getting more and more famous people to visit our campus. If any
one wishes to join any speakers for their talks, please let me know as alumni are always welcome to at-
tend. For the next Bridges' event on Monday, April 5, 2010 at 10am, NIST will welcome Prof. Francoise
Barre-Sinoussi, Director of the Regulations of Retroviral Infections Unit at the Pasteur Institute in Paris. She
was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2008 together with Prof. Luc Montagnier for their discovery of
the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Professor Francoise Barre-Sinoussi will give a talk on future chal-
lenges in HIV/AIDS prevention and therapy.
Another exciting event worth sharing is the NIST International Day which took place on Saturday, January
23, 2010, where NIST welcomed over 3,500 visitors to its campus. It was great to see many alumni joining
us at the fair. I hope you all had a great time. On International Day, NISTAA sponsored the oval stage and
Clown Eckie Performance for the kids.
As for NISTAA news, I am please to announce the new Committee Membersfor 2009-2010. The first item
on the Committee‘s agenda is to schedule a meeting regarding NISTAA‘s next investment and to decide if
NISTAA should donate part of its funding back to a school‘s development project specifically the new foot-
ball pitch.
List of Committee Members:
Mr. Simon Leslie President
Ms. Rosalind Yunibhandu (1998) Vice President
Ms. Sunitaya Varaphan Treasurer

nounced once finalized. Lastly, NIST will celebrate the Class of 2010 Graduation on Friday, May 28, 2010,

After a very short illness in Germany, Dani passed away on November 4 2009. Her funeral was held on
Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at Northfriedhof Cemetery, Ungererstr. 130, D-80805 Munich, Ger-
many. NIST has planted a memorial tree in memory of Dani Pachelt.
Thank you to Dani‟s friends for sending in photos and messages for this special tribute. Dani will be
forever missed and remembered.
Daniela Pachelt
Dani,
I don‟t know why or how you were taken away from us, but for one thing, I know that god needed
another angel and he picked you. You have touched a lot of lives, made hundreds and thousands
of people smile, and your life was devoted to the people you loved. When I think of you, you are an
example of a person lived life to the fullest, a life without regrets, so compassionate and extremely
beautiful. I cannot stress how many times I would turn to you and depend on you when I‟m down or
needed a friend to talk to. You are a beautiful soul, and another day without you is a loss for us. I
will cherish the times we would laugh over immature jokes, talking about our lives and how we
were going to change the world. Your life will live and remain in our hearts forever and I promise as
Roshni, Sarina, Dani long as I am alive you will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace,
Love,
Richard
Ich habe Tage lang überlegt was ich dir zum Abschied noch sagen könnte aber ich weiss
noch nicht was ich sagen soll. Wörter sind nicht genug um mein Kummer zu beschreiben.
Ich kann es nicht fassen, dass du nicht mehr bei uns bist. Du bist viel zu früh von uns
gegangen. Dani, du hattest unbedingt sehr viel Kraft. Ich kannte niemand der so stark war
English class 2009 wie du. Du warst ein willenstärkiges Person und du wusste ganz genau wer du bist und was
du machen wuerdest. Du hast mich begeistert um meinem Leben frei zu führen, weil du
immer glücklich warst. Es gab nie einen Tag, wo ich gesehen habe, dass du nicht lächelst.
Du warst immer für mich da und ich könnte mit dir über alles reden. Ich danke dir und ich
bin stolz, dass ich dich kennenlernen durfte. Jederzeit höre ich „Glashaus“ zu, werde ich an
dich denken. Ich vermisse dich Dani. Du bleibst für immer in meinem Herz. Ich werde dich
nie vergessen, das kann ich dir versprechen. Ich werde nächtes Sommer, wenn ich
nochmals in Deutschland bin, nach deinem Grab fahren. Mein Beileid zu deine Familie. Ich
wünsche der ganzen Familie viel Kraft und Glueck. Ich habe dich lieb, Dani-schatz. ♥
This year, NIST celebrated its annual International Day festival, sponsored by La-Z-Boy, on Saturday, January 23, 2010 from 3 pm to 8 pm. There
were over 3,600 visitors coming together to enjoy a festive day with games, rides, shops, international cuisines, various entertainment, and a
―tour‖ of the world provided by the diverse nationalities of the NIST families. The change in event time, from a day event to an evening event,
seemed very favorable to our visitors. The theme of this year‘s festival was Same Same but Different.
Loads of games and rides were available for children of all ages including a ferris wheel, carousel, foam party, euro bungy, bouncy castles and
more. Entertainment was provided by NIST students and teachers including rock bands and cultural dances from the Philippines, Japan, Korea,
German, India and Thailand.
In addition, the country booths in the MPH were, as always, a popular highlight of the fair. Many thanks go to Aotearoa, Australia, Finland, India,
Korea, Norway, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand and the USA for their efforts. In addition, several of the groups also ran outdoor booths and raised sig-
nificant funds for the school – these included Japan, Netherlands, Philippines, the German Speaking Group, Korea, Thailand, and the USA.
Over 50 retail outlets selling everything from jewelry, to silk handbags and clothing, to Thai crafts, children‘s books, and toys set-up stalls on the
day. Over 50 different food vendors served a selection of international cuisine, including Mexican, British, American, Australian, Indian, Korean
and Thai dishes. Also present were community and environmental groups – Plant-A-Tree-Today, SCAD, and Amnesty International. There were also
a few student-run charity groups that helped raising money for Haiti relief, Habitat for Humanity, and Malaria Prevention.
Our sincere appreciation goes to our sponsors, staff, parents, teachers and students for all the hard work and support they dedicated to make our
International Day 2010 possible and very successful one. Particular thanks go to our major sponsor, La-Z-Boy, who provided a special privilege to
all NIST visitors, and our grand sponsors: Beauty Gems Group (Thailand), Bumrungrad Hospital, Fitness First (Thailand) Limited, GajaPuri Resort
and Spa , Novotel Lotus Hotel, Mulberry Spa, Pinnacle Hotels, Resorts and Spa, Reckitt Benckiser, S&P Syndicate PCL,Thai Airways Interna-
tional,Villa Maroc (Invision Hospitality), Woongjin Coway, and Unilever Thai Trading Limited.
The money raised from the NIST International Day 2010 will be put towards the school‘s next big project to install the tennis court cover and pitch.
As of now, the country baskets from silent auction alone raised B40, 850 – a direct result of the NIST community‘s hard work and donations.

the happiness in the world”.

Wataru was at NIST from 2006 to 2008 and is from the class of
2016. Now living in Yokohama and in fifth-grade, Wataru read
aloud the declaration and then presented it to Mr Rogge. Follow-
ing the reading of the Declaration, a fellow representative, Me-
gumi Terasaki, a sixth-grade student from Tsukuba, presented the IOC president with a monument that symbol-
ises children from five continents joining hands to make a better world together. Mr. Rogge mentioned that he
would add the declaration to the Olympic Museum.
“I am very pleased to know that the Sports Summit was held and the declara-
tion was adopted by the young generation based on the spirit of fair play. As
you know, the meaning of sports is not only to win or make good records.
Instead, like Judo which is originated in Japan, it is the opportunities to learn
manners and to respect others. By spreading this idea to the people in the
world, I believe we can contribute to World peace. I hope the kids participated
in the summit will continue the Olympic Movement in their countries and
regions from now on. Your accomplishment,
the declaration will be displayed in the special space in the Olympic Mu-
seum,” he said.
For his part, Wataru said, “I am very excited to present the declaration which
was adopted by the kids from 16 countries and regions in the world to Presi-
dent Rogge. It was a very important day for me!”
The Declaration was written at the World Kid‟s Summit which took place in
Yokohama as part of the celebrations of the 150th anniversary of the opening of the Yokohama Port. The stu-
dents attending the summit wrote:
We, the Participants, at the World Kids’ Sports Summit in Yokohama, will work to create a better future by pro-
moting the spirit of fair play which we have learned through sports. This spirit of fair play will not only be limited
to the world of sport, but will include relations with society, earth and people to solve various issues that the
world is now facing.
Action Guidelines

environmental issues by respecting
others and cooperating with friends

across the world!
