Christmas Season Concerts

Dear Parents,

The Christmas season is upon us, and we invite you to come and watch our children's winter performances.

Each class will perform in the Black Box at the date and time indicated in the poster for that grade. Hence, please do look carefully and make a note of the details on the poster for your babe's class! Please find the below the posters with details.

Please note: The teachers will be instructing the students on what to wear for the performance days - this will arrive in a separate email. Kindly pack either these clothes for your child to change into on the relevant day or make sure they come to school in the required outfit. To help with vocal projection and breathing technique while on the stage, students are required not to wear a mask for the performance.

We would be overjoyed to see you at the relevant performance!

Kind Regards,

Mr. Jason and Ms. Olivia

We would love to see as many colors around the school as we can and although Thailand is sadly not in this one, we all have a second team we secretly love or can find a team to follow for this year! Who will your team be?

Early Years Outdoor Library Project

Many early years students have been asking to bring books to the playground to read and we are listening to their request. We would like to fuel their love of reading and promote a rich literacy culture by providing an outdoor cozy reading corner with large selection of books students can enjoy. Do you have children's books at home your child has outgrown or has lost interest in?

Ms Janelle, heading this project, is accepting children's books in any language for our EY outdoor library. Please donate all books to your child's LET or lead teacher and they will give them to Ms. Janelle.
