A note from the Principal

The end of another busy week in Primary! We were so happy to see our Y4-Y6 students return safe, happy and perhaps a little tired from their Residentials. Next up, will be our Year 3 students when they head down to Pattaya next month. 

Next week, we look forward to our Lunar New Year celebrations and assembly on Friday and Fun Day on Saturday. Events such as these really bring us all together and help us celebrate our different backgrounds and experiences. I look forward to seeing you all there!

Residential

Residentials have been and gone and we hope your children are already sharing lots of stories about their adventures with you. The Year 4 teachers are so impressed with the children's enthusiasm and energy. We were so proud of the way they represented our school and Year 4. Well done Year 4!

Well-being

Air pollution

At this time of year we notice a change in the Air Quality in Bangkok.

In the morning before school starts when we have the Status:

Unhealthy

From 7am onwards, Year 4 students should come inside and go to their classroom where there will be teachers supervising them safely inside.

Parents are encouraged to drop their children at the doors .

We please kindly ask parents not to come into this space as it may become crowded and full.

Should your child arrive before 7am on any day they should go directly to the Primary Office until duty staff begin to supervise.

Please find the school policy for Air Quality Here
