I am pleased to present our 2021/22 Stewardship book, which is a report on our responsibilities as caretakers of Bangkok Patana School.
Going into the start of the academic year in August 2021, we were determined, more than ever, to do everything to give our students the best learning environment we could, despite any restrictions we might encounter. After a year of shutdowns and cancellations, our staff seemed self-driven to push forward and bring student life back to our beautiful campus and school. By 1st November 2021, we were able to start welcoming students back onto campus – and it was wonderful!
While COVID restrictions still meant that we could not offer our full calendar of events, our community quickly set about adapting activities so we could take every opportunity possible to bring students together. Our community had spent a year apart and we were ready for the richness of the real, rather than virtual, opportunities on campus. This culminated in our graduation ceremonies for the Class of 2022, which was an amended format, but still a joyous occasion being able to have all our graduates and their parents together in the Sports Hall.
An institutional highlight of 2021/22 was our Council of International Schools (CIS) re-accreditation – the result of a rigorous self-study reporting
process, community surveys and a thorough CIS Team Evaluation Visit to Bangkok Patana School. CIS commended Bangkok Patana School on achieving high standards in international education and maintaining a commitment to continuous improvement. Out of the 73 standards measured by CIS, we exceeded expectations on 18 standards and met expectations on all the rest.
As we ended our 64th year, the school hit its highest enrolment ever, an acknowledgment that Bangkok Patana School continues to be recognised as a top global school. For this, I would like to thank our staff for their hard work and dedication, our parents for their support and our students for making us proud. Together with my colleagues on the Foundation Board, we are excited for the future of this fantastic school!
"It was clear in all our interactions with the community at Bangkok Patana School that the Guiding Statements are a living entity at the school. All the groups spoke to this and demonstrated how it shaped decision making and day to day interactions; whether this was a decision from the board around long-term investment, all the way down to individual support for a student. There is little doubt that Bangkok Patana School is delivering on its own promise.
As a not-for-profit organisation we do not have shareholders, therefore governance structure is even more important. It is the Bangkok Patana School Foundation Board members, the Committee and Sub-Committee members and the management whose role is to ensure that the organisation is maintained and protected now and in the future.
The Board consists of a balance of people with the necessary skills and experience, and with good relations in the local community to enable the proper and efficient supervision of the school’s operations and continued development in line with the school’s mission. To ensure that the Foundation may own land, at least half of the Board members are of Thai nationality.
At the School Executive Board, Committee and Sub-Committee level the members have a connection to the existing community in the school and the appropriate skills to serve on their respective Sub-Committees. The school operates on a self perpetuating model for appointments of members to the Board, Committees and Sub-Committees. These appointments are overseen by the Nominations Committee and ratified by the Foundation Board.
The Board, Committee and Sub-Committee members are volunteers and do not receive any compensation.
The Office of the Foundation Board coordinates communication between the organisation and the Board, Committees and Sub-Committees. It also plays an important role in helping to manage our relationship with the local community and authorities.
Kulvadee Siribhadra, Director of the Office of the Foundation Board
""The Foundation Board should be commended for their ongoing commitment to the school and effectively utilising their professional skills and expertise in support of the school’s Guiding Statements.

I am proud to have led Bangkok Patana School for the past 15 years. During this period of stewardship there has been significant development in the organisation and we continue to look at ways to improve. The newly developed Long Term Infrastructural Plan for 2023-2033 will guide the school to create innovative learning environs that will help enhance learning outcomes across the whole school. Being a not-for-profit organisation means that we are able to focus completely on making investments in staff, equipment and facilities to ensure that we have a great learning environment for our students. Our entire staff is dedicated to the Guiding Statements and making Bangkok Patana as good a school as it can be for the benefit of the students.
We are proudly non-selective as our Mission, Vision and Values drive us to welcome students of differing needs and ambitions as we delve deeper into what their individual potential looks like and as they develop into global citizens in an everchanging world.
As a leading organisation, we are also conscious of our responsibility as a mentor and role model for other schools and we continually do this with a wide range of visitors across the year. We also give back to the greater community in many ways through charity initiatives largely driven by the students, as well as donating those items we no longer need to local organisations who will benefit from them.
As I depart from Bangkok Patana after 15 incredible years, I am hugely confident that the school’s learning journey will continue to flourish.

Our students benefit from being part of a large, diverse and supportive community, which presents many opportunities to enhance their learning. Our Primary School children enjoy a 'neighbourhood' small-school environment within the larger community. They can feel confident and secure within their own purpose-built “home”, where their classrooms, collaborative learning spaces and playgrounds have

At the annual Alumni Breakfast, alums from Grad '08 - Grad '16 were back in school to share their experiences with the Class of 2022. They talked about the challenges that they encountered when moving abroad for university, finding the right balance between university and personal life and the importance of connecting with the Bangkok Patana alumni community.
It’s always good going back to Bangkok Patana. The buildings have changed and some of my old teachers had left, but the atmosphere is still the same. I spoke with a group of aspiring medics over lunchtime. I was quickly reminded how go-getting and proactive Bangkok Patana students are by their questions, which showed insight into the application process, medical school and life as a doctor. The nostalgia hit as I left the school gates in the 37° heat, before heading into True Coffee for a refreshing drink. I will be back to visit again soon enough! - Helena Martin, Grad '15
The start of the year saw our school and the country in the mists of the COVID pandemic. We were able, as a result of the successful projects completed before August 2021, to successfully begin the academic year online – with resources being distributed to our students and our teaching teams provided with the necessary equipment and skills.
Our Foundation Board, noting the short term financial challenges faced in the community, provided for a significant discount on fees for the year. The school reopening for students in October was welcomed. Since then, we have carefully and, in accordance with the recommendations of the Ministry of Public Health and Bangkok Metropolitan Authority, actively managed all operations on campus.
We were able to remain open to students and gradually increase community participation in events both on and around campus with the result that our school has enjoyed – in the worst of times – a positive year for students.
As the year's outlook improved, the Board initiated a project to evaluate our infrastructure needs for the longer term. Working with a consortium of consultants, developed.
We look forward to next year and working with our students as they strive to reach their full potential.
"The [auxiliary staff] are all suitably qualified and receive appropriate training and support from the school. The dedication of the auxiliary staff to ensuring that students, and indeed the wider community, were safe and secure is very evident.

Funds
Entrance fees are designed to be the contribution of each new family to the land, buildings and other assets that exist at the time they join the school.
Capital Assessment Fees are the termly fees paid by families and represent their ongoing contribution to the development of the land, buildings and other assets.
As well as fundraising, our Secondary students are encouraged to facilitate change and help communities through actions that foster and drive positive change. Being active stewards of our global and local communities is well established in our Guiding Statements. All our students, from the very young children in Foundation Stage through to our Seniors, are encouraged to participate in activities that provide support to communites outside Bangkok Patana School. In 2021/22, our activities were still limited by COVID restrictions, but we were able to continue our outreach. Here are a sample of activities from 2021/22.

During the academic year of 2021/22 visitors were restricted from visiting the school due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
In September 2022, our school management team hosted the Deputy Minister of Education, OPEC, Deputy Secretary-General of OPEC, the Department of Health and the Office of Health in preparation for the re-opening of our school's campus in line with COVID regulations that were in place at that time. Our senior team members have accepted invitations as guest speakers, advisors and committee members at various forums to render continual support to the Thailand Education Reform Plan; this includes Bangkok Patana staff serving as board members for the Basic Education Commission, the Private Education Commission, Thailand Ministry of Education, Crime Suppression Division, Bangna Police Board and Immigration as well as local schools and the community at large. In regards to international organisations, senior Bangkok Patana staff also serve as International Schools Association of Thailand (ISAT) Committee Members and on the British Chamber of Commerce (BCCT) Board of Directors.
As a not-for-profit organisation, when we have items that still may be of use but we no longer need, we donate them to places that can benefit from them.
Bangkok Patana School and Bangkok Patana School Foundation donate used assets to government authorities, schools in need and charitable organisations. These used assets include educational materials, textbooks, furniture and fittings and sports equipment. In 2021/22, we donated 526 of such assets to the International Association of Persons with Physical Disabilities and Benjama Maharaj School in Udonthani Province, among other local organisations.
The PTG plays an integral role in nurturing a link between the community and the organisation. Its purpose is to promote and assist the development of the school, to advance its interests and to foster the goodwill of parents, staff and students.

The annual activities organised by the PTG include the PTG Big Night Out, Newcomers’ Gettogethers, International Day, the Christmas Concert, Staff Appreciation Day and the Volunteers Thank You Breakfast. Additionally, the PTG runs the Tiger Shop which sells Tiger spirit clothing and accessories.
The PTG funds its activities mostly by the income from the Tiger Shop and activities such as Fun Day and the Christmas Concert. In 2021/22 activities were constrained by COVID.

For much of 2021/22 parents were not allowed on campus due to the COVID pandemic. This made it nearly impossible to organise PTG events. In order to keep community spirit, the PTG managed to celebrate International Day online with parents and students sending in photos from their home country. Before school closed for Christmas, PTG organised Christmas Hampers with support of parents and local businesses. This was well received.
" "The PTG as a group is a strong advocate of the school. With an active executive committee across Primary and Secondary, there is a commitment to work with the school for the benefit of all students.
