A note from the Principal

Dear Parents,

What a showstopper! This week, our talented Year 6 students lit up the stage with their spectacular production of Aladdin. With two dress rehearsals and two outstanding performances for parents, they wowed us all with their energy, singing, dancing, and stage presence. These moments showcase more than talent — they build lifelong skills in communication, confidence, and creativity. Huge thanks to the team behind the scenes and our brilliant students for such a magical experience. A proud week to be Principal!

Next week we will be looking at human babies, what they need to grow and how families change when a baby arrives. We will be using the baby photos for this lesson so please ensure you have sent yours in!

Swimming 

We’re happy to see our Year 3 students back in the pool and enjoying their swimming lessons. Swimming is a key part of the curriculum — not just for fitness and enjoyment, but as a vital life skill, especially here in Thailand where water-based activities are a big part of everyday life.

We kindly ask for your full support in encouraging your child to take part in swimming. Positive conversations at home can make a big difference, especially if your child is feeling uncertain or anxious. Consistent participation helps build confidence and competence.

If your child is unable to swim for medical reasons, please provide a doctor’s note. For any questions, feel free to contact the PE department at jaju@patana.ac.th.

Save the date! The Year 3 Swimming Gala will take place in the 25m pool on Thursday 5 June, from 10:00am to 12:10pm. More details to follow.

Swimming Lesson Schedule

For the PE lesson when students are not swimming, they will still require their PE kit and trainers.

Please note - Children come to school in their school uniform on swimming days with their swimmers in their bags. 

On PE days they wear their PE kit to school and have their uniform in their bags.
