A note from the Principal
As we embark on Term 2B, I hope each of you had a rejuvenating first week back with us.
It is with sadness that I share news of Khun Puy's passing. Khun Puy served as our housekeeper in Year 4 and was a valued member of the Patana staff for 8 years. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with her family during this difficult time.
If you would like to offer condolences, please share them with K. Pom in the Primary Office, and we will ensure they reach Khun Puy's family.
If your child shares any concerns with you over the weekend, please contact the Year 4 Leader of Learning and Welfare, Miss Sarah (sawv@patana.ac.th)
