First Day of Second School Year

May 142012

Busy first day at Panyaden School

We had a busy first day of school as students new and old came together for the first day of the first term of our second ever school year.

And smiles and chatter from returning students who met up with their friends after the 2-month break. Assembly was a lot fuller than usual as we have almost doubled our student numbers this year. Our School Director reminded our old students of their responsibilities to make their new friends feel welcome and at home. And by the end of the first day, we were all settling in (well, most of us!) and getting to know each other.

This Week’s New Wise Habits

Mar 082012

Being generous, kind and compassionate Two boys are good friends who enjoy playing football together.
