A Joyful Day of Gabrielite Friendship

Trip for International Experience (TIE 2026)

On 8 April 2026, St. Gabriel’s Primary School had the wonderful privilege of hosting our fellow Gabrielites from Saint Gabriel’s College, Bangkok, for a meaningful cultural exchange experience that celebrated friendship, learning, and global connection.

It was heartening to witness the students interact so naturally with one another, building friendships filled with warmth, joy, and mutual respect. Through collaborative activities and shared experiences, both groups of students demonstrated important 21st-century competencies such as communication, collaboration, adaptability, and confidence, even while navigating language and cultural differences.

The exchange also provided valuable opportunities for our Gabrielites to grow in empathy, independence, and cross-cultural understanding as they engaged with peers beyond their usual environments. More than just a visit, the experience strengthened the enduring Gabrielite spirit of brotherhood and global-mindedness, while nurturing confident and compassionate future-ready leaders.

Building Global Connections, Growing Future Leaders

Trip for International Experience (TIE 2025)

As part of the Gabrielite Overseas Leadership Programme (GOLP), 24 of our Primary 6 Student Leaders embarked on a meaningful overseas immersion journey to Saint Gabriel’s College and cultural landmarks across Bangkok, Thailand. Through this enriching experience, our Gabrielites broadened their global perspectives while strengthening the enduring bonds shared within the Gabrielite family across borders.

Throughout the programme, students engaged in classroom exchanges, cultural learning experiences, leadership activities, and interactions with their Thai peers. Along the way, they forged new friendships and demonstrated important 21st-century competencies such as communication, collaboration, resilience, adaptability, and cross-cultural awareness. The boys also displayed independence, teamwork, and respect in every situation as they navigated unfamiliar environments with confidence and maturity.

Beyond gaining cultural insights and creating lasting memories, the experience nurtured empathy, global-mindedness, and leadership qualities in our students. Their growth as confident, compassionate Gabrielite leaders was evident throughout the journey as they learned to lead with understanding, integrity, and respect for others.

Through GOLP, our Gabrielites continue to grow into future-ready leaders who are prepared to thrive and contribute meaningfully in an interconnected world. Labor Omnia Vincit!
