William HAOND

Director of Development
Lam luka Bangkok,Thailand

Summary

I have thrived in bringing happiness along with rigor into the heart of each boarding school I have been part of. Leading both Boarding and Development departments in schools for over 20 years, I have developed expert practice and knowledge in these areas, blending traditional values and word-class standards in each.

Every day in the roll, I worked hard, helping to lift spirits, encouraged everyone to smile, and ensured that staff and students feel valued and cared for. During years of leading boarding in UK and then 10 yrs as Director of Boarding at Harrow Bangkok assisting to increase numbers and at Bangkok grew boarding from 22 to 234. Latterly, as Director of Development joined the management team assisting in growing school roll from 1,050 to over 1,500.

To be brought back into boarding at Prem school, Harrow Japan, and now to be a founder Director of Boarding at KIS Reignwood Thailand, I thrived, worked hard and played hard in the three set up schools where I have been part of the founding team. Sometimes its difficult work, but so very fulfilling. I love to organize set up, new buildings, staffing, events, fundraise and no.1 love to keep busy, and boarding has always done that. I try to have a good work life balance and I ensure staff along side me look after their wellbeing.
