Si Ri Panya News Highlights

Thursday 3rd April

Year 4 rocking our world with their fantastic rendition of the White Stripes

As we prepare to close for our annual Spring break for two weeks, we'd like to thank you for your continuous support, especially at this year's end-of-term event that looked set to be rained out.

It really was touch and go, when after weeks of preparation and hard work by our students, our dedicated teaching team, auxiliary and office staff, the forecast didn't look great!

However, you all turned up in droves and this cheered us all up! Finally, despite the heavy rain, noise and disruption, the show went ahead and we even opened our beautiful games stalls and showed off our Yr 1-6 art boards and Yr 7-9 artwork.

We didn't give up and nor did you and that really made our day! We can safely say, we are resilient!

Thank you to Teacher David who works hard, often alone, to prepare students for our termly performances. Thanks also to Teacher Annye for her work with the Secondary students to produce some really high quality artwork, some of which was sold to add to the amount raised for charity.

In Term 3, we are going to offer a free after school music club, for any child wanting to learn to play an instrument, which will offer us new ways to bring performances to you from our Drama and performance room, which has recently been fitted out with a stage and curtains, to add a touch of class to future shows. Details on how you can sign up will be shared when we return from the holidays.

Until we see you when the school opens for the year's final term, Summer Term 3, Happy Songkran and have a wonderful break. Here are some colourful pictures to leave you with...
