Stewardship embodies the caretaking of this, which includes the responsibility of planning, managing and protecting its resources to ensure sustainable development.

FOREWORD At Bangkok Patana School, decision making at governance and leadership level is closely aligned to the school's guiding satements. The board and leadership uphold the guiding statements and the CIS Code of Ethics by placing those values at the centre of its planning. This is evident in all areas of operations and understood by all stakeholders as evident in the community survey. Plans are interlinked to ensure that development plans are supported by finance and resourcing.

Council of International Schools (CIS) Re-Accreditation Report 2022

I

am pleased to present the 2024/25 Stewardship Book, a reflection of our shared commitment to the continued growth of Bangkok Patana School.

This academic year has brought a renewed sense of purpose and momentum to our school community. Under the guidance of our Head of School, Chris Sammons, we’ve embraced thoughtful changes that reflect both our values and our aspirations. Chris’ leadership has helped us build on what makes our school extraordinarily special, while opening up new opportunities for our students to thrive. It’s been a year of meaningful progress, and we’re excited about what lies ahead.

One of the most notable developments this year has been the completion of our ITF Certified Tennis Courts, a world-class facility that enhances our sports programme and provides our students with exceptional opportunities to train and compete. We also introduced new PE uniforms for students, reflecting our commitment to both functionality and school spirit. In addition, we launched the new Patana Card system that improves campus security and streamlines services for students, staff and parents with easy top-up options.

Our campus continues to grow, with the Hum Building project well underway. Alongside the physical developments, we’ve seen a significant increase in student enrolment—a testament to the trust our community places in Bangkok Patana School and the quality of education we provide.

Throughout the year, our community has remained at the heart of everything we do. From engaging parent workshops and PTG events to inspiring visits from educators and thought leaders, the vibrancy of our school life has been truly uplifting. Our Foundation Board continues to support and guide the school’s strategic direction, working closely with the Head of School and leadership team to ensure long-term sustainability and success.

As we look to the future, I’m proud to share that Bangkok Patana School has taken a significant step forward in its commitment to environmental stewardship by joining The Alliance of Sustainable Schools (TASS) and signing the Charter for Sustainable Schools. This important milestone reflects our dedication to embedding sustainable practices into every aspect of school life and positioning ourselves as a leader in the global movement toward a cleaner, greener planet.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the members of the Foundation Board for their time, expertise and unwavering dedication. And to our entire community, parents, students, staff and alumni, thank you for your continued support and belief in our mission.

Together, we are shaping a future where every student can thrive, explore their passions and become confident, compassionate global citizens.

Sincerely, Dr Tarisa Watanagase Chair of the Foundation Board and School Executive Board

Stewardship 2024/25

GOVERNANCE As a not-for-profit organisation we do not have shareholders, therefore a transparent 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 it 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.

LETTER FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

A

s we mark our 67th year, I am filled with admiration for the vibrant, resilient and deeply connected community that is Bangkok Patana School. One of the most impressive artefacts that has marked the achievement of our school this year is the Varsity Dance team who won gold at AOTD. Their dance was choregraphed by Coach Aum under the leadership of Sarah Dullaghan, Head of Dance.

The dance itself is an explosion of Thai music blended with hip-hop, gold and black costumes and coordinated movement of different shapes that peel across the stage. It was the team's dedication, artistry and hours of practice which resulted in such an excellent performance that represents the school perfectly. None of this was possible without the Performing Arts resources which enable our programme to happen. These have been built over the years by teams in both the Academic and Business sections to deliver fun and opportunity for our children. As well as dancing success, Swimming, Football, Gymnastics and Tennis Academies are seeing the largest number of members across all of our recreational and competitive programmes.

These academies represent the best provision in any school worldwide. Our children can develop their interests and passions in sports and arts beyond the formal curriculum because of the ideas, dreams and incredibly detailed hard work of our Board. Their thoughtful and effective stewardship of our finances, our buildings and a can do attitude by all involved has led to an incredible educational experience beyond the exceptional exam results our children achieve.

Here’s to another year of excellence, joy and shared achievement. My heartfelt thanks to the business teams and the services they provide which are celebrated in this year’s Stewardship report.

OUR STUDENTS Our students thrive within a diverse, international community that values well-being, learning and global citizenship. With peers from many nationalities, languages and educational backgrounds, they gain daily opportunities to broaden their perspectives and grow as compassionate, confident learners. As an all-through school from Nursery to Year 13, our students benefit from a unique sense of continuity and connection: younger children are supported and inspired by older role models, while older students learn responsibility, leadership and kindness.

We place strong emphasis on transitions care, supporting every child as they join our school, move through different stages, and prepare for life beyond graduation. In Primary, children benefit from a nurturing environment that fosters security, friendships and curiosity; while in Secondary, our pastoral structures and wide range of activities ensure students are both supported and challenged as they explore their interests, build on their sense of belonging and gain the confidence to begin forging their own path..

LETTER FROM THE BUSINESS DIRECTOR

B

angkok Patana School is one of the most admired and respected schools in South East Asia. Our purpose it to enable our students to fulfil their potential. This, along with our values of well-being, learning and global citizenship, provide a focused guide for our decision making as well as a positive motivator for our everyday work lives.

This year the initial project for the long-term plan was completed and the tennis courts are being very well utilized – with the number of tennis players showing a marked increase! The school has initiated the building of an extension to the Humanities Building. This will provide for increased flexibility and space for Secondary Students. Additionally, the IBCP programme was launched, and we look forward to the development of this academic stream.

The school continues to explore ways to improve our provisioning – not only keeping up-to-date but also developing sustainably - and incrementally upgrades facilities across campus on an ongoing basis. This past summer notably the building of a new Art classroom in the Secondary School and the enclosure of the Primary Canteen were completed.

Craig White Business Director

I am grateful to the Board for their guidance and to the teams who work tirelessly for our students and community. As we develop our school, we are finding increased areas for co-operation between the academic and business teams and will be striving to further link the elements of the organisation under our values and purpose.

Finally, on behalf of all the business team, thank you to all parents for your support throughout the year. We look forward to working together to ensure the best for our students and greater community.

FINANCIAL PRINCIPLES Throughout the 65+ year history of Bangkok Patana School, the Board has been conscious that as a not for profit organisation it needs to be prudent with the management of our financial resources.

The organisation needs to have sufficient funds to meet its operational needs, including the payment of salary and benefits, and also to meet the capital requirements, including land purchases, building construction and renovation, maintenance and debt repayment.

As such, guidelines have been set that identify the purposes for which each type of income is allocated.

Income Available to Fund Operations • Tuition Fees • Application Fees • EAL Fees • ECA and Excursion Fees • Canteen Fees • Transport Fees

Funds Available for Land Purchase, Development, Maintenance and Repayments • Entrance Fees • Capital Assessment Fees • Surplus from School Operations • Donations to the Annual Fund and Building • Patana Campaign

• School Shop Income • Sports Academy Income

Bangkok Patana School has crafted a thoughtful and thorough SWOT analysis that identifies the factors which may have the greatest impact on school's sustainability. On the basis of this analysis the board and head of school have been able to craft scenarios for future planning and be prepared for various eventualities.

Council of International Schools (CIS) Re-Accreditation Report 2022

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.

PARENT TEACHER GROUP (PTG) Building a Vibrant Future Through Collaboration At the heart of our school community is a wonderful partnership between parents, staff and children. The ParentTeacher Group (PTG) is part of this community, but what truly makes a difference is how we work side-by-side with the school to create a positive and lively environment for our students.

Our PTG supports the school by helping organise a variety of events such as International Day, Fun Day, Big Night Out and many others. These activities are made possible through the dedication of parent volunteers, who work closely with teachers and staff to ensure everything runs smoothly. This teamwork helps foster a sense of community, celebration and inclusiveness that benefits everyone.

PTG Committee 2024/25 Chairperson: Safy Rizk and Manassanant (Pao) Tantiprasongchai Vice Chair and Cross Campus: Manassanant (Pao) Tantiprasongchai and Knitting Jadekanya Triyanond Treasurer: Rapeepan (Pook) Sapayanon Secretary: Chris Huang Thai Liaison: Soreda (So) Ratchadaporn Parinyanusorn Communications Coordinator: Karina Chattlani Tiger Shop Manager: Sumedha Rawat Events Coordinator: Anchal Pathela Secondary Parent Represenatative: Sharan Hora

Seeing parents collaborate seamlessly with staff is inspiring. Their shared efforts help create a warm, supportive atmosphere where children feel valued and excited to learn. It’s this partnership—built on mutual respect and teamwork—that shapes a bright, positive future for our school.

Looking ahead, we envision a vibrant, collaborative community where parents and staff continue to work together, strengthening bonds and enriching the educational experience for our children. Together, we are building a place where every student can thrive and look forward to a promising future.
