A note from the Principal

Note from the Principal

16-05-2025

This week, I have thoroughly enjoyed spending time in classrooms across the Primary School. It has been a joy to see our students so engaged in their learning—asking thoughtful questions, collaborating with their peers, and showing real curiosity and creativity in their work. Thank you to all our teachers and teaching assistants for creating such vibrant and purposeful learning environments.

Looking ahead, we are excited to celebrate our upcoming Sports Festivals next week! These events are always a highlight of the year—full of teamwork, determination, and plenty of Patana Tiger spirit. We look forward to seeing our students challenge themselves, cheer each other on, and have lots of fun in the process.

Wishing you all a restful and enjoyable weekend.

General information

Patana News Survey

Some of our community prefers to receive Patana News on a different day from Friday. We would like to hear your opinion. Survey link

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.
