A note from the Principal

Dear Parents,

We have reached the end of Term 2A, and what a busy and productive half term it has been! Our students have continued to work hard and make progress in their studies, and we are very proud of their achievements. As we head into mid-term, we hope that our families will have the chance to rest and recharge, ready for the remainder of the academic year.

As part of our ongoing efforts to support high-quality education, I have had the privilege of visiting Amnuay Silpa School this week. In addition to the valuable insights gained from the visit, it was also a great experience to share ideas and knowledge with the school's leadership team. Building networks and collaborating with other educational institutions is an important aspect of improving education for all our students.

Another highlight of this week was the Tiger Cats Dance Challenge. This highly anticipated event brought together dance teams from across Primary and Secondary, as well as other schools, to showcase their talent and creativity. With over 40 high-quality performances, the event was a celebration of all forms of dance and an testament of the hard work and dedication that goes into perfecting and performing a routine.

This week, the weather has been rather unusual, with a heavy storm on Wednesday. We hope that this improves for the holidays, so that all our families can enjoy their break without any disruptions. Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing our students back at school on Monday, 27 February!

Proud of you Patana!

Safeguarding at the end of the school day

If you are unable to collect your child, you can ask a neighbour or friend to help to take your child home. We have some new safeguards in place to make sure that the children are safe.

If you would like your child to be collected by another adult please ensure:

  • You email the class teacher and Leader of Learning and Welfare (keme@patana.ac.th)
  • Please copy in reception@patana.ac.th
  • The class teacher will ensure that the Main Reception knows who is taking the child out of school. Reception staff will then be ready to help if there is a query from Security.
  • The collecting adult and the child/ren may only leave via Main Reception. No other gate.


Learning

Our theme for next half term is 'Let's Celebrate'.  You can find out more about this on the Y1 Curriculum Page.

General Information

School photographs 

Order forms were sent home with your child on Thursday 16th February if they were in school.  If they were absent, class teachers will keep them until your child returns unless you request otherwise.  

U smile will collect the order forms at school between 27th February to 3rd March (7:00am – 3:30pm).


Snacks - Nut Free School

We provided tasty and nutritious snacks each day for the students in class. As some of our children have allergies, please ensure any food sent to school does not contain any sort of nut.

Birthday celebrations

We cannot give out party bags or gifts - please keep these for any sort of celebration that you do out of school.

If you would like to send in some birthday treats for your child to share with their class, please arrange a day with your child's class teacher. We will only be able to manage individual items like brownies, doughnuts or cupcakes. Please remember we are a nut-free Primary School.

These students are celebrating their birthdays this over the half term break and in our first week back:
