Living our Values

We are motivated and engaged

Well-being 

Picking up after an ECA

If your child takes school transport home, they will be walked to the buses by their ECA providers.  If you collect your child after an ECA, they will be brought back to the blue area (near Y1 and Primary Office) to meet you there.  

ECA Snacks 

If your child is doing an ECA, you are welcome to send in a snack for them to have before their ECA. Class teachers will do their best to facilitate this additional snack time.  Please ensure that this is a healthy snack- no sweets, no chocolates and no nuts.  

Global Citizenship

Friendship Friday saw Y1 raise 10100 baht! If you would like to learning more about our Y1 charity, please visit our Community Action Team (CAT) Blog.  It can be found here:

Appeal for bottle tops

We are still looking for more bottle tops!  If you have any bottle tops at home, please can you save them and send them in to your child's class teacher to help us with our Science learning.  Metal ones are ideal but we will also be able to use any made of plastic too.  

Welcome to the Learning

If you were unable to attend the 'Welcome to the Learning sesssion this week, a recording is saved here.

CSL 

The current Hybrid CSL model will continue until the end of Term 1.  At the moment, we wish to support our students’ learning the best we can, but we are moving to a CSL model for the following situations:

• The student’s class/year group is closed for 3 days because of a Covid+ case/s.

• The student is in 14 day isolation because they are Covid+ or a high risk contact.

• The student has been overseas since the beginning of the academic year (August 2021) and is not able to return before 10th January 2022.  

The situations in which we will not provide Hybrid CSL for are:

• The student is on holiday or visiting family, including leaving school mid-term to travel.

• The student is generally unwell. This includes symptomatic Covid+ cases. Once the student is well again, CSL will be provided for the remainder of their isolation period.

• If a student is identified as low risk or no risk.

Other circumstances will be considered on a case by case basis.

For queries, please contact the Primary Office.

General Information

Lots of information about our day-to-day organisation can be found in the Welcome to Year 1 booklet.  Most of this information is still relevant,  even with necessary COVID measures in place.
