A note from the Principal
28-11-25
We always enjoy sending our students off on Residential, and we are equally glad to have them back. Over the past two weeks, almost 450 students spent valuable time away from home, learning, growing and supporting one another. Well done to them, and thank you to the staff who looked after the groups so well.
Around campus it is beginning to feel a lot like Christmas! This is one of my favourite times of the year, and the cooler weather is adding to the atmosphere. We cannot wait for all our end of term celebrations!

External Competitions that fall on a school day
At Patana, we have many students who excel in their external hobbies and interests.
When they practice hard, and demonstrate resilience and perseverance, they may be selected for competition.
If you have a child who is invited to compete, whether locally and internationally, we will support your child’s endeavours.
However, we do ask that parents give the class teacher/tutor sufficient notice of their absence from school.
Many of our lessons require group collaboration, and this will help teachers to plan accordingly.
Safe, Curious, Kind
Positive Behaviours – Positive Attitudes
In Term 1a we focused on these behaviours:
The children have done a fantastic job developing and displaying these behaviours.

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.
