Happy Songkran


This week has been short but busy! We had a lot of preparation for our two celebration days! First, the Student-Led Conferences which took place on Tuesday were a huge success. I am so proud of how well all the Preschool children presented their work to you. What fantastic risk-takerocuses they all were! 

















Then our wonderful Songkran Festival Celebration! The children had so much fun performing and playing the games. Thank you all so much for coming and supporting your children, the school and the student council. 










Finally, it was also time to say goodbye. Yu Qian has been with us since we started in August but will now return to Singapore to continue her education. We wish her all the best for the future and will miss her very much! Goodbye Yu Qian! 









As Yu Qian is leaving, we are also losing Miss Nawapongolf who has been our Parent Representative for Preschool class these past two terms. If anyone else is able to fill this position as a point of contact between the Homeroom Teacher and the other parents and to attend PTA meetings as a representative for the Preschool parents, please let me know by the beginning of term 3. 

All that is left is for me to wish you a wonderful Songkran break! Have fun and enjoy your time with your children. I wish you all health and happiness and look forward to seeing everyone on Monday 22nd April.
