A note from Mrs McCormack (Primary Principal):
This week, I have been touched by how much warmth and love there is in our school community.
Standing watching our Year 3 students depart for their Residential, and the fond exchanges between parent and child never fails to touch my heart and makes me appreciate how lucky we are to be a part of these journeys.
On Thursday, I was dashing off to Secondary and I bumped into our Year 1 students, hand in hand with their new friends from our Charity school who had come to join us for a morning of learning. All children full of smiles and joy at the new friendships and connection.
It is moments like these that truly highlight the greatness of our school – it is the people who make it special. And there is nowhere else I would rather be!

Parent and Teacher Meetings: Mon 25th - Thurs 28th of March
If you have not been able to organise a meeting with child's teacher and would still like to talk to them please email them directly to arrange a convenient time.
The purpose of the meetings is to share:
Progress, successes, and challenges.
Motivation and engagement in lessons.
How school are supporting their learning and how you might be able to help them at home.
Should you wish to discuss further items we encourage you to arrange another appointment directly with the class teacher so enough time can be allocated.
Please arrange for supervision of your child during this time, as all staff will be supporting the meeting schedule, and their will be limited supervision on campus.
Save the date – RSE (relationship and sex) presentations for Primary Parents
During Term 2B, we introduce age appropriate RSE units as part of our Personal, Social and Health Education curriculum in Years 1 to 6.

Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease – Preventative Measures
HFMD is a viral infection which spreads via direct contact, particularly of body fluids caused by coughing and sneezing.
Symptoms of HFMD may include fever for 2/3 days, sore throat, runny nose, rash (palms of hands, soles of feet, buttocks, mouth), poor appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy. Because of the prevalence of HFMD in Thailand, we are required to report all cases to the Bangkok Metropolitan Authority.
The school response (children kept at home for seven days + rigorous cleaning of buildings and equipment) helps avert closures.
Rigorous and frequent handwashing is also an important preventative measure.
If you notice such symptoms, please contact Nurse Joe and a member of her team will check all children in the class.
If your child with symptoms, and there are other siblings in school, please share this information with Nurse Joe.
Khun Joe can be contacted at kiau@patana.ac.th
