Oppidan x Shrewsbury International School Bangkok
Oppidan Education and Shrewsbury International School, Bangkok are proud to announce a new partnership delivering mentorship programmes for Year 9 and Year 12 students.
This collaboration represents an exciting step in equipping students with the skills needed to thrive academically, personally and life beyond school.
What’s happening?
Year 12: The Peer Mentor Training Journey
The Year 12 programme focuses on developing peer mentorship skills, empowering students to become leaders within their school community. Based on Oppidan's successful Peer Mentor Training Journey—delivered to over 150 schools in the UK and internationally—this programme trains older students (Year 12) to mentor younger students (Year 9), fostering leadership, empathy and communication skills.
The programme consists of three 60-minute modules delivered in small groups led by an Oppidan mentor:
Introduction to Mentoring
What Makes a Good Mentor?
Hit the Ground Running
Year 12 students will reflect on their mentorship experiences, honing their ability to guide and support younger peers. This initiative underscores Shrewsbury’s commitment to developing global citizens who make a positive difference in the world.
Year 9: The COR Mentoring Journey
The Year 9 programme introduces students to Oppidan’s COR Mentoring Journey, a series of termly 1:1 sessions focused on three key outcomes:
Character: Building self-awareness, resilience and goal-setting.
Oracy: Enhancing communication, public speaking and interview skills.
Readiness: Preparing for exams, university and life after school.
After each session, every student will receive a detailed report with actionable feedback on how to develop the skills discussed in the programme.
Regarding the programme Shrewsbury said:
Last month, we welcomed Oppidan, a leading international mentoring company, for an engaging session with parents and students. Focused on confidence, resilience, and study skills, the discussion explored how every child learns differently and how tailored mentoring can unlock their potential.
“We truly value the opportunities Oppidan provides, which is why we’ve invited them this term.”
Parents gained insights into understanding their child’s learning style, while selected students participated in an exclusive workshop. We are excited to see the impact of this collaboration!
