A note from the Principal
A note from the 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!

Residential !
Our Y3 Residential trips are all home safely! It has been great to see the returning students and hear about their adventures.
Inventors Day
Put Thursday 4th April into your diary!
On this day, we are going to have 'Inventor's Day'. Year 3 students are invited to dress up as:
- an inventor or
- an invention
If they choose to dress up as an inventor, they could also make and bring in an example of their invention (e.g. a homemade calculator or homemade phone).
They will need to find out all about their invention:
- who invented it?
- why did they invent it?
- where was it invented?
Swimming
On swimming days the students need to come into school in uniform, with their swimming kits in their bags.
For swimming, they need a black school swim suit , rash vest (optional), towel, goggles and a swim hat (for all hair longer than shoulder length).
Hand Foot and Mouth Disease
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
