MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL: Closure Notification – Coronavirus (COVID-19) 17.03.2020

Tuesday 17th March 2020

Dear Parents or Guardians

Re: Closure Notification – Coronavirus (COVID-19) School Closure

This afternoon, the Minister of Education has directed that Bangkok Prep, along with all other schools and universities in Bangkok, is to close from Wednesday 18th March 2020 until further notice. The intention of these closures is to reduce the spread of COVID-19 virus and protect all students in Thailand.

Our primary concern must be to protect the health of our community, and Bangkok Prep will, therefore, be closed from tomorrow Wednesday 18th March until further notice from the Minister of Education.

During this period of closure, the teachers will provide all students with online learning sessions. More detailed instructions will be sent at 08:00am tomorrow morning from the Primary and Secondary Leadership Teams.

For the next few days, we will be in Phase 1 of our Online Learning plan. Closure work is available on our firefly portal. Please see more information about our Online Learning procedures here:

MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL: Home Learning and Innovative Online Learning

We will face some difficult times over the next few months and we must do our very best to follow advice from medical experts and stay healthy.

I will update you on the situation if necessary by SMS, Social media and email.

Yours faithfully

Duncan Stonehouse

Head of School
