Global Citizenship
Last week, Y2 had a visit from a Bangkok based company, 'Precious Plastics'. The Y2 team were thrilled to be able to share that we can help by recycling our used ATKs.
Please read on to find out how we all can help to make a difference to the amount of plastic waste in Bangkok;
ATKs are now a necessary part of our everyday lives. Based on rough estimates for the number of students across Bangkok’s 100 or more international schools doing weekly tests this could equal 26,000 kgs of ATK plastic waste across 1 school year! This isn’t counting tests being done by teachers. This plastic is being used once and sent straight to landfills.
Up until now, concerns about COVID transmission have stopped recyclers from accepting these tests. However, the latest science shows that COVID surface transmission is incredibly unlikely. We want to fix this by collecting ATK tests alongside our regular plastic collections.
Please join our campaign to reduce the amount of single-use ATK plastic waste in our city.
We have a set of easy to follow steps to safely recycle ATK test kits;
Step 1. Make sure ATK tests come back negative, we cannot accept positive results!
Step 2. Lightly bend the test until it separates, get rid of the small test strip inside.
Step 3. Rinse the 2 plastic parts.
Step 4. When you have a collection, send the 2 plastic parts to our address at
FREC, 77 Nakhon Sawan Rd, Wat Sommanat, Pom Prap Sattru Phai, Bangkok 10100
We will take this plastic to make a special line of products. We will both disinfect the plastic and then melt the plastic to 180 degrees celsius so there is no chance of COVID surviving by the time it has been processed!
Thank you for your support!

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.
Birthday Treats
Children may bring in a special treat to share with the class. Unfortunately, parents cannot come in to celebrate with their child. The class teachers will do their best to send you a photograph.
Please contact the class teacher to arrange a suitable time.
• Brownies and cupcakes are easier for your child to give out.
• As school policy, the staff will not be able to help give out party bags or other gifts either for birthdays or on other special celebration days.
We have 3 birthdays in Y1 this week. Have an awesome day!
