Global citizenship

Being a global citizen - I am aware of what is happening in the world

Learning about the importance of our oceans.

Part of being a global citizen is being aware of what is happening in the world and how our actions have an impact on both people and the environment.

Kirsty Magson from New Heaven Conservation Program visited us this week to deliver a presentation about her program and conservation of coral reefs in and around Koh Tao. She covered these five points:

• The importance of coral reefs
• Sea turtle rescue
• Marine Pollution
• Responsible Snorkelling
• What can the students do?

Well-being

Celebrating with friends is an important aspect of well-being. Unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions, we are unable to have our annual Christmas Assembly. Instead, we have planned a Christmas Spirit Day where students and staff will have a chance to celebrate together in year groups.

In Year 6, we will also have a year group party on Thursday 17th December. Again, due to restrictions, we will not be asking students to bring in any food or snacks for this.

Happy Birthday to: 

Pon and Matthew (6D)

We are now pleased to announce that students celebrating birthdays may bring in donuts or cupcakes to share with their class. Please do not send in candles or cakes that need to be cut and remember, NO NUTS!
