A note from the Principal

It is hard to believe we have already reached the end of February—the term is certainly flying by! This week in Primary has been a little quieter, providing a welcome opportunity to focus and recharge amidst the usual busyness of school life.

Next week, we are looking forward to Smile Day on Wednesday, where we will be raising funds for Operation Smile. Students are invited to wear yellow (or bright colours) and bring in a 100-baht donation. Fun Day is also just around the corner, and it is always a much-anticipated highlight of the year.

Thank you for your support!

Information mornings for Primary Parents March 2025

Dear 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. These units help children to develop an understanding of their own physical, social and emotional development, and encompass key values such as respect, kindness and consent.

If you would like to hear more about how and what we teach your child, please join us at a parent presentation. Please sign up via the links below.

You may also find these suggestions for talking with your child helpful.
