A note from Mrs McCormack (Primary Principal):
11 October 2024
The highlight of this week has to be our truly spectacular International Day. It was a beautiful celebration of our culture and community, and we cherished every moment—from the vibrant parade and cultural performances to the amazing food hall.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make this day
possible, especially to our PTG for their tireless dedication and hard work.
Enjoy the long weekend!
Sarah McCormack
Positive Behaviours
Parents may have seen these new posters around the Primary school.
We recently shared the attitudes and behaviours that we want to help every student to learn and develop as they move through our school.These attitudes and behaviours are grouped under our three key values: Safe, Curious and Kind.
We want these positive words, thoughts and actions to support and strengthen your child’s holistic development as they move through Primary and into young adulthood. Please help us champion these three key values by referencing our matrix of positive behaviours and attitudes in conversations with your child. The matrix is also available in Thai.

General Information
Preventing the spread of colds and flu
Please help us to prevent outbreaks of cold or flu as we head into the rainy season.
Children with cold or flu (influenza) symptoms should be kept at home until they are completely recovered. Even when the main symptoms have gone, your child may still need time to return to full strength.
Please do not send your child back to school too soon, even if they are no longer in the contagious phase. If your child is still coughing or sneezing, please keep them at home and limit their contact with other children.
A child who has a fever should be kept at home until ‘fever-free’ for a minimum of 24 hours.
Influenza is a serious and contagious infection that affects the nose, throat, and respiratory system. The virus is commonly spread through droplets in the air, allowing infection to spread quickly. When unsure, always seek medical advice, especially if a child has a chronic condition e.g., asthma.
If Influenza is confirmed, please send a copy of the medical certificate to Nurse@patana.ac.th
Plain black shoes for school
Primary students wear plain black school shoes as part of their uniform.
All shoes require at least a wide strap to keep the shoe firmly in place.
Your child will need a different pair of shoes (trainers) for their PE lessons.
Sharing Snacks
Please can we emphasise the importance of not sharing snacks with other children in school. There seems to be some adults kindly bringing in treats for other children, however we must not share food. There are many children with dietary requirements and allergies who must not eat specific foods. Also, some parents do not want their children eating certain foods for religious or health reasons.
Please can you ensure that all adults who collect your children understand this message as well.
Thank you for your understanding and support with this.
Allergies and Dietary Requirements
Please ensure your child/ren's medical information is fully up to date on our systems.
Should your child suffer from critical conditions related to their diet they are no longer able to eat any birthday treats brought into school from outside.
We encourage parents now to provide a small box of dry snacks/treats that their child can eat, which the class teacher can keep, and use during any celebrations in class.
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.
Birthday celebrations
The following students are/were celebrating this week...
Ezra (2K)
Rory (2M)
Myn (2K)
Noah (2J)
Special note:
We cannot give out party bags or gifts - please keep these for any sort of celebration that you do out of school.
If you would like to send in some birthday treats for your child to share with their class, please arrange a day with your child's class teacher. We will only be able to manage individual items like brownies, doughnuts, or cupcakes.
Please remember we are a nut-free Primary School and also check with the class teacher for any other dietary requirements of the class.
