Newletters & Events

Dear Samakee Community,

We are delighted to welcome everyone back to school for what promises to be an exciting and productive Term 2! We hope you all enjoyed a restful break and are ready for the wonderful learning opportunities ahead.

We began the term with an excellent INSET day on Monday, bringing our entire staff team together in a spirit of collaboration and celebration. The day began with a special Welcome & Team Building Activity where we took time to reflect on and celebrate.

Dear Samakee Community,

As we reach the end of Term 1, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what has been a wonderful and productive term, and to thank each and every one of you for your contributions to our school community. Thank you!

To our incredible staff – thank you for your dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment to our students. Your passion for education and the care you show every day make St Andrews Samakee the special place it is.

To our students – you have worked hard, shown resilience, and continued to make us proud with your achievements and positive attitudes. Keep up the excellent work!

To our parents and families – thank you for your ongoing support and partnership. Your involvement in your children's learning and your engagement with our school community make such a difference to everything we do.

Dear Samakee Community,

Thank You for Your Amazing Support!

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our wonderful St Andrews Samakee community for your incredible generosity and support this week.

Our Mufti Day and bake sale in aid of families affected by the severe flooding in Thailand were a huge success. The bake sale was particularly special, with a fantastic selection of treats for children, staff and parents to enjoy throughout the day.

A special thank you goes to the many volunteers who gave their time and baking skills to make this event possible. Your dedication and effort truly made a difference.

Dear Samakee Community,

Next week, we have two fantastic opportunities for our school community to come together and support those affected by the recent floods in Thailand.

Mufti Day - Monday 1st December : Children can wear their own clothes instead of school uniform in exchange for a donation of 100BHT. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference to families who have lost so much.

Bake Sale - Wednesday 3rd December: This is where we really need your help! We're encouraging children to get hands-on in the kitchen and bake items to sell at our bake sale. Children who bring in items they have baked themselves will earn House Points – so it's a great chance to develop their skills whilst doing something meaningful.

Dear Samakee Community,

Welcoming Future Occupational Therapists

This week, we were delighted to welcome 15 Master's degree students in Occupational Therapy from Mahidol University, along with their professor, to learn about how occupational therapy can be effectively integrated into school settings.

Khun Neung, our occupational therapy specialist, led the students on a comprehensive tour of our Inclusion Unit and fully equipped OT therapy room, demonstrating how we provide occupational therapy services to our students. Ms Tabietha then facilitated an engaging Q&A session, explaining our processes for identifying needs, delivering interventions, and collaborating with teachers to ensure therapeutic strategies are embedded in classroom practice.
