A note from the Principal

Note from the Principal

It has been a marvellous week in Primary with so many amazing events and activities showcasing our students’ incredible talents. From the Bangkok Games to home-made games in Year 4, poetry performances in Year 3, and a final celebration of learning through our 3-Way Conferences and Parent-Teacher Meetings. Wow, what a community!

Thank you to all our students, staff and families for your energy, enthusiasm and support. As we head into the final stretch of term, we are so proud of everything our children have achieved and the spirit of curiosity, kindness and celebration that shines through.

Well Being

Black School Shoes for next year please

As part of their Patana school uniform, students wear plain black school shoes or sturdy trainers.

Shoes should be durable and support the whole foot.

All shoes require at least a strap to keep the shoe firmly in place.

Children can wear lace-up shoes if they can tie up their laces independently.

Plain black shoes can be sourced in many shops and department stores in Bangkok.

If your child has to wear other shoes for a specific reason, please let us know.

Class blogs

Each week, we publish class blogs. The purpose of these is to give you an insight into your child's learning and what is happening in Year 4. Please visit the class blog and discuss your child's learning with them.

Birthdays

Parents should not bring in class gifts, balloons, bubbles, whistles, games, drinks etc. Your child's class teacher will politely ask you to take these home with you. We enjoy celebrating birthdays by sharing a birthday treat such as donuts or cakes.

We are a NUT FREE school. Please when ordering birthday treats double check before bringing treats on the campus. 

Many toppings offered by some donut shops have flaked almonds in their toppings and peanut butter fillings. If you bring these in, unfortunately, we will have to send them home

Birthday Treats

• Children may bring in a special treat to share with the class.
• Please contact the class teacher to arrange a suitable time. In Year 4, you can do this on Monday or Wednesday as we have Spelling lessons on other days. 
• Brownies, cupcakes, small donuts, and cake slices are easier for your child to give out.
• We do not give out drinks (e.g., bubble tea, sodas)
• Please reduce plastic packaging.
• We do not allow party bags or other gifts to be given out at school, either for birthdays, or other celebrations.
