We are collaborative and confident communicators


A note from the Principal

Thank you to all the parents who participated in our Parent-Teacher meetings this week. These meetings are held twice a year, and we are always thrilled to discuss our students' achievements and progress. Our teachers put in a lot of effort to get ready for these meetings, so I want to express my gratitude to them for their dedication.

I would like to bring to your attention that we have some ongoing illness cases in certain year groups. As a reminder, please keep your child home from school if they display clear signs of being unwell. Let’s work together to keep our school a healthy environment.

Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease – Preventative Measures

HFMD is a viral infection which spreads via direct contact, particularly of body fluids caused by coughing and sneezing.

Symptoms of HFMD may include fever for 2/3 days, sore throat, runny nose, rash (palms of hands, soles of feet, buttocks, mouth), poor appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy.

Because of the prevalence of HFMD in Thailand, we are required to report all cases to the Bangkok Metropolitan Authority.

The school response (children kept at home for seven days + rigorous cleaning of buildings and equipment) helps avert closures.

Rigorous and frequent handwashing is also an important preventative measure.

If you notice such symptoms, please contact Nurse Joe and a member of her team will check all children in the class.

If your child with symptoms, and there are other siblings in school, please share this information with Nurse Joe.

Khun Joe can be contacted at kiau@patana.ac.th
