Loy Krathong Festival
Early Years
The Early Years students and teachers were delighted to celebrate the Loy Krathong Festival this year with the Concordian community on November 15th, 2024. In the morning, everyone came to school dressed in beautiful traditional Thai costumes and wearing a big smile. Parents and students enjoyed making and decorating their own krathongs together.
K2-K3 students and parents floated their krathongs at a big swimming pool, full of joy and participating in a lovely Thai dance. Pre-K and K1 also experienced, for the first and second time, the Loy Krathong Celebration at school. It was a very supportive and meaningful Loy Krathong experience for everyone!

Primary Years
The wonderful Loy Krathong celebration 2024 started with making the krathongs to represent our respect to the goddess of the river. In the past, krathongs were made from natural materials – usually a section from a banana tree trunk, crafted into a lotus shape by using folded banana leaves. This year G3-4 students have become more creative in their craft and designed their krathongs from coconut shells that we can reuse next year to help save the environment.
Teachers, students and parents participated wearing their Thai beautiful costumes and were delighted to float the krathongs together in the pool. The Thai instrument student band and the Thai dance group performances at the lobby as well as at the swimming pool demonstrated the beautiful Thai culture and added to the spirit of Loy Krathong Festival at Concordian.
