Christmas Karaoke at High School

Last week at the High School, we held a Christmas Karaoke event with teams of teachers and students singing Christmas songs at break time. This certainly created a very positive Christmas feel, getting everyone into the festive spirit.

A magical Christmas roar from the Reception Leopards

At the Primary campus, the first of this year’s Christmas productions was put on by our Reception Leopards class to a rapt audience of mothers, fathers and teachers.

This week, the rest of the Reception classes perform, along with Key Stage 1 shows for Year 1 and Year 2. I am really looking forward to these events, and I hope you are able to see your children put on what I'm sure will be some truly heartwarming productions. Moving into our last week, we have our Key Stage 2 and High School music concerts, along with Christmas Fairs at both the Primary and High School. Please refer to this Newsletter for the times of all the different shows and the fairs.

This is always a wonderful time of the year, but also a very busy one as we squeeze in so much before the start of the three-week holiday break. Oh, and there has also been a Santa sighting, heading for St Andrews over the next two weeks - no quarantine required!

Nord Anglia Education (NAE) Parents Survey
Last Friday, a link was sent to all parents by email giving you direct access to this year’s NAE Parents Survey. This survey aims, through a series of questions, to find out what parents feel about their family’s experiences with our school. It gives us very useful information which we can then use to continue to further improve how we are performing, managing our curriculum, improving the facilities and further developing many of the administrative services the school offers to help support students and parents.

This survey will take about 15 minutes to complete, and is completely anonymous with the answers going directly to the central organising team of NAE. This team analyses each school’s responses to the questions, and reports their findings back to the school to assist us in putting into effect development plans that will incorporate and address your feedback.

Your opinions and ideas are important to us, so we ask that you please take the time to complete it.

Health & Travel

Our school will continue to remain vigilant with measures like temperature checking everyone who enters either of our school’s campuses and requiring that everyone on campus wears face masks or shields. I’m proud to say that, on the whole, our community has been very good with following these precautions while at school.

As many of us in our community have been traveling around Thailand, it would be greatly appreciated if everyone upon returning to Bangkok could keep their Health & Travel Declaration Form (found on Moodle) up to date. This information could be an important contact tracing record for the Ministry of Public Health in the unfortunate event of an outbreak.

Thank you all for your continued support and cooperation in all these areas to keep our school community safe.

School Calendar
Our school will follow the recently updated school calendar that has been shared with our school community and is available on our school website. We realise the Government has recently brought in some additional holidays in December. However, please be aware that St Andrews will not be adding any additional holidays or making any further changes to the calendar this year. For your convenience, you can find the updated school calendar for 2020-2021 here.
