Living our values: kind and compassionate
Note from the Principal

A note from the Principal
Dear Parents,
What is Tiger Spirit Day? On Wednesday, we reminded ourselves that this is a whole school celebration of Bangkok Patana spirit; families and friendship; belonging to a community; and respecting ourselves and others. We had a great day, full of fun, and we hope that your child enjoyed it as much as us!
Don’t forget that next week is a shorter week for our students, as Term 1A ends on Wednesday. On Thursday and Friday, our team will be engaging in high impact CPL, with a focus in Primary on teaching Maths and supporting student wellbeing.

Birthday Treats
We are a NUT FREE school. Children may bring in a special treat to share with the class.
Please contact the class teacher to arrange a suitable time.
- Brownies, cupcakes and individual cake slices are easier for your child to give out.
- Please reduce plastic packaging as much as possible - please no bubble teas, fizzy drinks or caffeine drinks.
- We do not allow party bags or other gifts to be given out at school, either for birthdays, or other celebrations.
Temporary Guardianship Form - let us know if both parents are going away and leaving a student with a friend, nanny or a maid.
