Primary Focus Next Parent Coffee Morning - Assessment On Tuesday 19th November at 8.40am, we will be having our next Primary Parents Coffee Morning (venue to be confirmed). The topic for this meeting will be ‘Assessment ‘ This will be an excellent opportunity for you to find out more about the assessment tools we use, the data we collect and the information it provides us with to assist children in their learning. We had a large turnout at our first meeting so it would be great to see many of you at the next one. It is also a great opportunity to meet and network with other members of our school community. St Andrews School Fair The second annual St Andrews Fair is being held on the afternoon of Thursday November 21 from 1pm-3pm. Last year the fair raised over 100.000 baht which was donated to CAS charities such as Operation Smile and Habitat for Humanity. Last year many parents assisted the fair by donating raffle prizes, buying raffle ticket or setting up a stall.If you would like to be involved please send an email to our Head of Secondary Mr McGee, who is coordinating the event([email protected]. A book of 5 raffle tickets worth 200 baht will be sent home with every student today, so your support for this worthwhile initiative will be most appreciated. Years 7 – 13 students will be organising games at the fair so our primary students will also be able to participate in some fun activities on the day. Hope to see lots of you there!
