As we welcome the Lunar New Year, may your homes be filled with happiness, harmony, and countless blessings. We enjoyed a wonderful assembly and celebration today, and let us embrace the traditions that unite us and create lasting memories.
A heartfelt thank you to the PTG for organizing the eagerly awaited annual Fun Day tomorrow! Your efforts make our school community vibrant and joyful. I look forward to seeing everyone there.

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
