We have been having great fun in Science using microscopes.
A note from the Principal
It has been another full and happy week in Primary. The swim galas have brought so much energy to the campus and the children have absolutely loved their workshops with visiting author Mark Grist. There is a real sense of excitement building as we head towards the end of term!
A quick reminder that if your child is unwell, please let your class teacher know and share any medical certificates with our Nursing Team.
We are looking forward to all the celebrations next week and ending what has been a truly wonderful term together!

Wellbeing
Positive Behaviours - Positive Attitudes
Smart Watches
Whilst we encourage our students to learn how to tell the time, smart watches offer additional online functions like that of a mobile phone.
Features such as gaming, internet browsing, and the ability to make and receive calls are potentially distracting in class and can pose a risk for safety and privacy.
Within the Primary School, students are required to keep their smart watch safely stored in their bag during the school day.
Smart watches can be taken out of bags once a child exits the school gates at 2:30pm or once their ECA has ended at 3:30pm or 4:30pm.
Students are not allowed to take or send images while using the school bus.
Smart watches are expensive items. Please be aware that the school takes no responsibility for loss or damage of smart watches.
Thank you for your cooperation and support in maintaining a safe and positive learning environment for all our students.
Black School Shoes
As part of their Patana school uniform, students wear plain black school shoes or sturdy trainers.
Shoes should be durable and support the whole foot.
All shoes require at least a strap to keep the shoe firmly in place.
Children can wear lace-up shoes if they can tie up their laces independently.
Plain black shoes can be sourced in many shops and department stores in Bangkok.
If your child has to wear other shoes for a specific reason, please let us know.
Shoes may need replacing mid-year.
Please - no Christmas Gifts for classmates!
Our children are already very excited about Christmas and the holiday season.
There will be a number of exciting events over the next two weeks.
Please note, we do not allow party bags or other gifts to be given out at school, either for birthdays, or other celebrations.
This includes giving out Christmas gifts to the class, such as small toys and candy-canes.
Our students benefit from a calm start to the day, and giving out presents can be disruptive.
If you would like to give a gift please see below about our Y3 charity.
