Loy Kratong Day: Friday November 15, 2013
Thursday November 7, 2013
Dear Parents,
Please be informed that St Andrews celebrations for Loy Kratong has been altered as we are unable to celebrate
during the mourning period for His Holiness Somdet Phra Nyanasamvara. Arrangements for Friday November 15
have been rearranged, however as ever all parents are warmly invited to join the day’s activity of kratong making.
Students, staff and parents are still encouraged to wear traditional Thai style clothing on the day.
Schedule for Primary
For your information primary students will have normal lessons from periods 1-3.
At the period 1 assembly, Year4 will sing and play Loy Kratong songs on the Ukulele. It would be wonderful if
parents could come and enjoy this time with the students.
Primary will be making kratongs in their classrooms with Thai and class teachers during periods 4-5 (11000 – 1220).
Parents are very welcome to come and assist if they wish to do so. It would be great to see you there.
Students in nursery, Kindergarten and reception will have Loy Kratong activities on this day and a letter will be sent
from the Early Year team leader.
Schedule for Secondary
Secondary students will be having their normal lessons from Periods 1 – 7 and then divide into Island communities
and make kratongs during period 8 (1420 – 1500) at the hard court. Parents are most welcome to sit with their
children and give suggestions and help make a kratong which has some hope of floating!
Materials
The school will provide the banana bases, leaves and simple flowers, however, we would ask if you want something
special on your children’s kratong then you will need to bring it with you, or send it with your child that morning. In
addition, we are asking if any parents can help by donating flowers to help decorate the kratongs. This support
would be most welcome.
Thank you for your continuing support, we look forward to seeing you at our Loy Kratong celebration.
Yours sincerely
Sirirat Sant
Thai Coordinator
