Message from the Head of School Dear Parents, Welcome back to the third and final term of this academic year. I hope that you all had a pleasant and enjoyable Songkran break.
IMPORTANT DATES Monday, 25th April
After School Activities Resumes *Kindly note that all students will continue with the same schedule of activities at the same location. No further registration is required.
The term is already in full swing and is providing both challenges and opportunities for our students. We have many interesting activities and events to look forward to and I hope that you will have the opportunity to take part in many of these with us. Please keep an eye on our calendar for upcoming events.
Tuesday, 26th April
Many of our students have started preparing for the end of year and external exams which will take place over the course of the next few weeks. This is a key point in the academic year for all students, but particularly so for Year 11, 12 and 13 who are studying for their GCSE, AS and A2 examinations. I am sure that with diligence and focus they will all do well and I look forward to seeing what they can achieve. I wish all students well in their examinations this term.
Whole School: Pictures Session from 8am – 4pm in the Gallery
Mr Wilsonlock, Mr Stonehouse and I are now turning our thoughts towards planning our orientation and induction events for the new staff who will be joining Bangkok Prep in August. Whilst it is rather early in the term to be saying our goodbyes, nevertheless over the next few weeks I will be letting you know which teachers will be leaving us in the summer and I will also share brief ‘bios’ of the new teachers that we have appointed during our recruitment sessions in Bangkok and London last January.
