Message from the Head of Secondary – 7th September 2018

Dear Students, Parents and Colleagues,

We have had a busy week in Secondary School conducting our combined Parent Information Evening for all Key Stages, we now have one event so that parents do not have to manage two or three evenings per week. I am hoping you all had a chance to meet your child’s tutor and put ‘names to faces’, in what should be a very rewarding and productive relationship. A lot of information was shared on Thursday evening, so please refer to the presentations on FireFly (Parent Information then Workshops and Presentations) as is our Bangkok Prep Parent Handbook (on Firefly https://bkkprep.fireflycloud.asia/parent-handbook). We have a rich array of Parent Workshops arranged for the rest of the term and I encourage you to come to as many as possible. If you see a need for one, please let FoBP or I know.

At this time of year some students may be having challenges adjusting, if this is the case with your own child please reach out to your Form Tutor or Year Leader, they are experienced and knowledgeable professionals, and are best placed to offer support and guidance to you and your child. The start of a new school or new year can be very unsettling and students do not need to feel isolated, your Form Tutor can make all the difference.

Our calendar will become very busy in the weeks ahead as sport fixtures begin in the first season of the year in; Basketball, Football, Volleyball, Rugby and Touch rugby. I’m very excited to see how our teams perform and hope to see many of you at home games to cheer our ‘Bulldogs’ on. Many of you may not know, but we normally have about 50 students and their coaches at school from 6am every morning training in their chosen sport. It’s quite clear to me that our students take preparation very seriously and are planning on being successful.

Kind regards,

Nigel Wilsonlock

Head of Secondary
