Welcome back to Term 2A! We were thrilled to have our students return to campus on Monday, reconnecting with everyone post-holidays. Additionally, we are so happy to finally meet the nearly 40 new families joining Patana Primary. I hope our new students had a fantastic first week.
In this short half term, we are gearing up for a busy schedule, including the start of KS2 residentials on January 22nd for two weeks. I am looking forward to joining in Khao Yai this year. Do keep an eye on ISAMS for essential dates, including the informative parent partnerships and the much-anticipated Fun Day on February 10th.
