Dear Parents,
We hope this memo finds you well. Here’s a quick recap of recent activities and what’s on the horizon:
Safety First
In October, our students impressively executed fire and lockdown safety drills. Their attentiveness and cooperation were commendable. For added safety measures, we also organized a Self-Defense workshop. It was wonderful to see students participate with such enthusiasm. Attached to this memo, you’ll find handy self-defense tips and topics that you can share with your children.
Secondary Interdisciplinary Project
In this trilingual event, Secondary students presented their exploration of ‘Racism’, the student chosen interdisciplinary project for this semester. Parents watched an academic exploration in English, a debate in Chinese and a role-play performed in Thai. The students demonstrated their growing identity as global citizens as they seamlessly transitioned between languages and cultures.

And for our Secondary students, there’s a thrilling educational trip planned to Beijing next April. They’ll dive deep into Chinese culture, history, and get a glimpse into advanced AI innovations.
Cultural Celebrations
Students will be preparing and sharing delightful dishes with each other during our annual Thanksgiving lunch. This culinary feast will be followed by a concert, featuring our talented students from Grades 2 through Secondary. The month will conclude with the Loy Krathong celebration.
