Year 1 Newsletter | Term 1 - Week 10 | 31/10/25

A note from the Principal

31-10-25

This week, our community came together in a spirit of reflection and respect, especially on Thursday for the International Commemoration Assembly for Her Majesty Queen Sirikit.

Thank you to our PTG for their generous organisation of the day, and to all the parents who contributed to the Food Fair. Your support helped make the occasion both meaningful and memorable for our students.

In the coming weeks, we continue to honour Her Majesty’s life and her lasting contributions to the people of Thailand. Wishing everyone a peaceful and reflective weekend.

Sarah McCormack

Thank you

Year 1 Curriculum

Temporary Guardianship Form 

Temporary Guardianship Form - let us know if both parents are going away and leaving a student with a friend, nanny or a maid.

Playground use before and after school

Students are not permitted to use any of the climbing or play equipment before 7:30 a.m.

There is no staff supervision in any play area after 2:30.

The accompanying adult is therefore responsible for the safe supervision of the child.

We encourage parents and family employees to take children straight home at the end of the school day.

Class birthday celebrations

We enjoy mini birthday celebrations in class but ask that you pre-arrange a time with the teacher.

Please note, this is a small celebration within the class. It is not a ‘birthday party’ and siblings and friends from other classes are not allowed to attend.

Birthday treats should be small, with minimal plastic wrapping. Please only send enough for your child’s class.

Individual portions such as small brownies, small cupcakes, and half-donuts are easy to give out.

All food sent into school must be nut free.

As school policy, we do not give out party bags, drinks or gifts sent in by families.

Please do not give out any of these items at school as this can cause unintended problems.

Taking photos and videos of students on Campus

At Bangkok Patana School we welcome parents on to our campus.

As part of this agreement, all parents must agree to our Parents’ Safeguarding Code of Conduct.

This includes:

Never taking images in toilets, changing rooms or areas where privacy is expected.

Using judgement before taking and before sharing images of students.

During a regular school day, parents may only take images of their own child – unless they have sought and received permission from another family to include their child in a group photo.

Family employees with access to the campus must also abide by this rule.
