Phuket, Thailand – 24 June 2026 – There were smiles, proud tears, and heartfelt celebrations as Finnway International School Phuket hosted its Grade 6 Graduation Ceremony & Gala at Blue Elephant Phuket.
The event was honoured by the presence of distinguished guests, including Ms. Panna Promvichien, Provincial Education Officer, who presided over the ceremony; Ms. Warangkana Ananta, Deputy Phuket Provincial Education Officer; Ms. Prapaipan Yookong, Director of the Education Development Group, Phuket Provincial Education Office; and Mr. Chalam Attatham, Vice Mayor of the Phuket Provincial Administrative Organization and former Acting Secretary-General of the Office of the Private Education Commission (OPEC).
More than a graduation ceremony, the evening celebrated the remarkable young people these students have become. Over the years, they have grown not only in knowledge and academic skills, but also in confidence, resilience, kindness, responsibility, and respect for others — values that lie at the heart of the Finnway experience.
Throughout the evening, students, teachers, and families shared memories, gratitude, and pride, reflecting the strong partnership between home and school that has supported every child’s learning journey, as well as the warm sense of belonging that defines the Finnway community.
The celebration also marked another important milestone in the school’s development with the official launch of its Secondary Programme for the 2026 academic year.
Today, Finnway International School Phuket provides education from PreK, Kindergarten, Primary, and Secondary, bringing together students from more than 27 nationalities and fostering a vibrant international learning community in Phuket. The school is committed to delivering high-quality international education, placing equal importance on academic achievement, wellbeing, creativity, critical thinking, meaningful relationships, and student agency, enabling every learner to grow in knowledge, skills, character, and confidence.
Speaking at the event, Founder Kannokarn Wasiksiri said:
“Our greatest achievement is seeing young people discover their strengths, develop meaningful knowledge, care for others, believe in themselves, and become the very best version of who they can be.”
The evening was not simply a celebration of completing primary school. It was a celebration of the friendships, memories, and values that students will carry with them wherever their future leads.
At Finnway, success is measured not only by what students know, but by who they become.
