BKK Prep, Message from the Head of School, News, Primary, Secondary, Whole School March 1, 2020

Sunday 1st March

Dear Parent or Guardian

RE: URGENT NOTIFICATION – Malaysia and Vietnam

This afternoon, our school has received another important update from the Ministry of Education. Following some productive correspondence between schools and the Ministry of Education, I am pleased to announce that they have now issued a directive to remove Malaysia and Vietnam from their list of high risk areas. This means that staff and students who are currently on self quarantine, because they have visited (or travelled through) Malaysia and Vietnam, should return to school on Monday 2nd March. These students and staff must have their temperature taken at security and visit the school nurse on entry to Primary or Secondary Campuses.

The Ministry of Education’s high risk areas are now listed as: Italy, Iran, mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan and South Korea. For more information please contact:

Primary Campus – Khun Toom: supaksirip@bkkprep.ac.th

Secondary Campus – Khun Bo: kingkarnp@bkkprep.ac.th

We apologise for the inconvenience this has, no doubt, caused some families and also thank you for your patience and support.

A reminder that additional temperature and travel detail checks, for all visitors to the campus, are ongoing. Thank you in advance for being patient if there are some delays when entering school.

As the situation continues to evolve, we will endeavour to communicate with you by email, SMS and social media. This is to ensure as many people as possible directly receive the message should it become necessary to put further precautionary safety measures in place.

Yours faithfully

Duncan J Stonehouse

Head of School
