RACHEL PERKINS HEAD OF PRIMARY
Welcome to the Regent’s Primary School, Bangkok. On behalf of the children, staff, Senior Management and The Regent’s School Board, may I welcome you and your family to our school. This handbook will give you comprehensive information about our aims, organisation and activities and convey something of the excitement and diversity of life at The Regent’s Primary School, Bangkok. We all strive to create a calm, well ordered working environment, very clearly focused on quality teaching and learning. All the adults in our team make vital contributions to the smooth and effective running of the school and to making sure we provide quality care and education for the children. We take pride in our English Speaking Environment. We are lucky enough to have a stimulating and an exceptional learning environment, but ultimately the real strength of The Regent’s School rests with the people who teach here. The team is a strong one, relationships are excellent and all the staff are happy
and hard working. The children are well motivated and the parents are very supportive. Above all, it is our collective aim to provide a happy, safe and caring environment for everyone who learns here. We value EVERY child and encourage them to achieve his/her very best. And to parents I would simply say “We should work together to ensure your children love coming to school at the beginning of every day, and leave happily fulfilled at the end of it.” Please do not hesitate to contact my office for any further clarification on details listed in this handbook. Yours faithfully, headpri-bkk@regent.ac.th

guiding statement vision A journey of excellence in international education: at The Regent’s School, Bangkok, the Home of Well-rounded Leaders of the Future, we believe that all students can learn to their fullest potential because of the School’s commitment to holistic education. Student learning will be enhanced by national, international, and intercultural perspectives. Graduates will develop the academic knowledge and the technological skills, to enable them to communicate effectively, think critically and solve problems. They will become responsible and accountable citizens, lifelong learners and will be prepared for the challenges of university and their life .beyond
mission The Regent’s School aims to provide a secure and caring co-educational day and boarding environment in which students develop the skills and values necessary to realise their potential and make a positive contribution to society.

PRIMARY HANDBOOK
• strong intercultural, international and national understanding • a confidence in effectively using information technology skills at school and in future life Our students will: • achieve the external examination results and university offers of which they are capable • develop the appropriate morals and values, through the Round Square IDEALS, to become well rounded leaders for the future
Round square Discover the world and make a difference. Round Square is based on the theories of experiential educational philosopher Kurt Hahn who believed that schools should have a greater purpose beyond preparing young people for college and university. Dr. Hahn believed that it was crucial for students to prepare for life by having them face it head on and experience it in ways that would demand courage, generosity, imagination, principle and resolution. As a result, he felt that young people would become empowered and develop the skills and abilities to be the leaders and guardians of tomorrow’s world. Round Square schools are founded on a philosophy which embraces a series of six pillars or precepts which can be summed up in the word IDEALS. They are Internationalism, Democracy, Environment, Adventure, Leadership and Service. Students at Round Square schools make a commitment to addressing each of these pillars through exchanges, work projects, community service and adventure. The overriding goal is to ensure the full and individual development of every student as a whole person through the simultaneous realization of academic, physical, cultural and spiritual aspirations.
internationalism The most powerful force in advocating and promoting international understanding is exposure to different cultures. Students from all nationalities are welcomed into each school. They are taught to appreciate value and respect all cultures, religions and languages. Students learn to see themselves as global citizens and are asked to look beyond gender, class, race, nationality and culture to understand human nature. We organise term-length exchanges among students, GAP students (who are pre-university, post-secondary) and faculty. Annually, delegations of students and staff gather at a member school to attend an international conference and work on solving world issues. Students are also encouraged to join international service projects.
DEMOcracy
leadership
Teaching students both the values of democracy and the importance of active participation in democracy is essential to Round Square schools. Freedom of thought and speech is greatly encouraged and appropriate forums and channels of communication are set in place. Students are also taught to appreciate the importance of self-discipline and are trained and expected to share in the running of the school. Therefore, student government and a genuine sense of responsibility in the management of the school are goals in all Round Square schools.
Students are taught that true leadership is found in those whose convictions are rooted in personal responsibility, kindness and justice. Opportunities for student leadership in the school’s community are fostered. Leadership roles, held by senior students, in particular, are substantial and range from management of housekeeping positions to holding key leadership positions. A high level of responsibility is passed on to students individually and collectively. Round Square committees in schools are chaired by students, and various leadership positions of consequence are shared by the students. The annual conference is an ideal forum for students to demonstrate leadership skills, both in the planning process and public administration.
environment Students are taught the importance of tending to the future of the planet. Round Square students are expected to demonstrate an active interest and concern for all natural environments, to be aware of proven problems and to play a practical role in tackling environmental issues. Students are taught the fine balance and the interdependence needed to maintain a healthy relationship between human beings and the planet. Special programmes, work projects and curricula all emphasize each young person’s destiny to be a guardian of human society and the global environment.
adventure Building the body and soul through adventure, meeting the physical challenge and developing an appreciation of the outdoors: these are all central to .Round Square schools At The Regent’s School, Bangkok we arrange outdoor and extra-curricular activities that challenge and strongly engage students, individually and within groups – in ways that promote personal growth and self discovery. All students are expected to participate in Outward Bound type activities which will foster a spirit of adventure and the realization that students can be so much more than they might have .imagined We also incorporate adventure programmes for various grades into school calendars and invite .students from other member schools to join in
service A key method used by Round Square to prepare students for life is by the expectation of serving others. Each student is encouraged to perform a substantial number of service hours, either in schoolsponsored, regional or international projects. Round Square international projects have been in existence since the early eighties, occurring in developing countries, where both staff and students from all Round Square schools work together in constructing .buildings and water systems We often train students in skills to help in emergency or disaster situations. To help in funding these projects, students raise money for the Prince Alexander Project Fund, to supply construction .materials for the projects

THE CURRICULUM The Regent’s School curriculum is modeled on the English National Curriculum (ENC). Each subject’s content is, however, modified and adapted to reflect the international make-up of our student body (e.g. Geography and History courses will choose worldwide studies rather than UK specific ones). Students may enter The Regent’s Pre-Nursery at the age of 2-3 and proceed to Nursery at 3-4. From Reception onwards the ENC divides a child’s education into Key Stages (KS) which include:
Primary School
26-28 Long weekend (holiday)

Key Stage 2
Primary follows the ENC curriculum, with core subjects: English, Mathematics, ICT and Science; and foundation subjects: Modern Foreign Languages, Geography, History, Art, Music, Physical Education, Design Technology, Information and Communication Technology. Drama is also taught as part of the English curriculum. Core subjects are compulsory and are given appropriate weighting in the school timetable.
Key Stage 1 Students in KS 1 follow an adapted form of the ENC. It is in these all-important early years that the students will learn to read, write and become numerate. All students are placed in mixed ability classes where they follow both the core and foundation subjects (with the exception of a Modern Foreign Language). All students from Year 1 study Thai in two sets; Thai for Thai speakers and Thai for non-Thais. Students who are not fluent in English are tested on entry and are placed in an EAL (English as an Additional Language) group or EU as appropriate.
Key Stage 2 Students in KS2 follow an adapted form of the ENC. It is during these years that the students will consolidate and develop the skills that they have learnt in KS1. The students are placed in mixed ability classes and follow a balanced curriculum of both core and foundation subjects. Mandarin is taught from Pre-Nursery. The teaching of Thai follows the same pattern as in KSl Pre-Nursery/...Nursery...and Reception i.e. Thai speakers and non-Thai are taught separately. The Regent’s Early Years Department is divided into Pre- Students who are not fluent in English will enter the EAL Nursery, Nursery and Reception. or EU programme as mentioned for KS1. We have created a happy, secure and stimulating environment in order to encourage each child to reach their potential. From Pre-Nursery to Reception children are not only taught the foundation of language and numeracy, but the skills of social interaction, independence and cultural awareness. The EYFS is a holistic approach which enables the children to develop in all areas.

English National Curriculum Level (ENC): PRIMARY: A guide to the English National Curriculum Levels (ENC) is given in the table below. As a point of information, the UK government has determined that an average of 80% of children leaving Year 6 in British primary schools should have attained Level 4 in the three core subjects. A Level 5 child in Year 6 would therefore be regarded as being well above average.
Levels expected in the ENC by Key Stage Key Stage

REPORTING AND ASSESSMENT Parent / Teacher Conferences: EARLY YEARS - FOUNDATION STAGE PROFILE: The Early Years Department uses the UK Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum which provides an on-going record of progress from the beginning of Nursery to the end of Reception. The six focus areas encourage self-analysis and self-initiated learning. The six areas are: • Personal, Social and Emotional Development • Communication, Language and Literacy • Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy • Knowledge and Understanding of the World • Physical Development • Creative Development
KEY STAGE 1 AND 2 Your child’s learning will be continually assessed throughout the year and records kept of their progress. Each lesson has clear learning outcomes and the teacher will use a range of strategies to assess each child on an ongoing basis. Teacher assessment of student learning informs their daily lesson planning. At the end of each term summative assessment takes place which includes unaided writing tasks and end-ofunit Maths and Science tests. Humanities, Art and ICT are assessed by setting assessment-focused tasks that allow students to demonstrate what they have learned. End of year tests in English and Maths take place for all Year Groups in May. Year Six also sit an end of Key Stage Science assessment. Results are recorded as an English National Curriculum Level and sent home in June. Primary Reporting A full report outlining your child’s achievement and effort is issued in December and June. Your child’s teacher will make a general comment about progress as well as subject specific comments. The report will contain National Curriculum Levels. A shorter, interim report is issued towards the end of Term 2. Students are graded for effort. The criterion for grades is as follows: Effort: 1 Consistently applies very good effort. 2 Applies good effort most of the time. 3. Applies good effort some of the time. 4. Needs to improve.
20
Parents will be invited to attend conferences with teachers each term. A letter will be sent home inviting parents to sign up for a 10-minute period after school on a certain day. During this time, parents are invited to discuss their child’s progress and to see the work that has been done during the course of the term. Any concerns may be discussed at this time. HOMEWORK 1. Homework assignments are given for preparation, practice or projects. Homework is of no real value if the student does not understand the basic concepts of the aims and goals of the lesson. The teacher will give adequate instruction and demonstration, and examples will be given to reinforce the student’s confidence that his or her skill can be applied in homework or an assignment situation. 2. Homework and assignments will be checked and recorded, but not necessarily graded. The teachers will have efficient systems for checking to see that the homework is completed to an acceptable standard. 3. Homework will sometimes be given during Term breaks, Christmas, Songkran or in Summer. All students are issued with Home/School books that must be kept up to date. Homework assignments will mainly be research, consolidation or extension of work done in class that day. They may also involve learning spellings or multiplication tables. Reading books are sent home on a regular basis from Reception-Year 6 and parents are expected to listen to their child read on these occasions. It is expected that children read on a daily basis. A rough guide to homework length and frequency is: Year 2 30 minutes Year 3-4 40 minutes Year 5-6 50 minutes

PROCEDURES EMERGENCY MEASURES The safety of our students is of prime concern to the School. Therefore, a number of procedures have been put into practice for their well-being. 1. Fire evacuation drills and lock downs will be held on a termly basis. Students will be asked to go to a designated area, led by their classroom teacher. The register will then be taken by the teacher. 2. The Medical Centre is located on the ground floor of the Primary School Building. This room has three observation beds and is well equipped with essential medicine. A full-time registered nurse is present from 7.30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
3. Proper medical personnel or an ambulance will be called immediately should a student need to be taken to the hospital. A detailed report of the incident will be written up as soon as possible by the nurse and a copy will be given to the parent, medical examiners, and other officials who may require it. 4. No prescription drug will be given to students on the school premises unless specifically instructed by the physician or with the consent of parents.
Assembly Assemblies will be held on a weekly basis. There are separate assemblies for EY KS1 and KS2. All students are required to attend. In the Primary school, there will be Class Assemblies to which parents will be invited. Attendance Students are required to attend every class. Absences are permitted only in cases of sickness or with prior written permission of the parent. On return to school after sickness, a note of explanation from the parent should be brought to the Primary or Secondary office. Repeated absence for other reasons will be regarded as a waste of the Parents’ and the Schools’ valuable time. A conference with the Principal will be called to investigate formally. Should a student miss the bus and not come to school, or leave the school campus without prior consent, a telephone call will be made to the parent to inquire the reason. Lateness A KS1 or KS2 child arriving in school after the registration period (7.55 - 8:05) will be regarded as LATE and a “late mark” will be placed in the school register. All late children MUST report to either the Primary office before being allowed to enter class. Missed Work Students who have missed school or an individual class will be required to make up any work that was assigned.
22
Language This is an English Speaking Environment (ESE); therefore the English language must be spoken during class time unless the class is designated for learning another language or specific permission has been given by a member of staff. Children will be expected to speak English in the playground, on school buses and on field trips. Inappropriate crude or coarse language is prohibited anywhere on school property, on the buses and on field trips. This will be monitored carefully by the class teachers so that abuses do not occur. On the playing field or in the Gymnasium, all students are required to speak English at all times. It is considered impolite and unacceptable if a language not understood by peers is used. The School adapts various ways of reinforcing the use of good English. Food and Beverage All students will be required to use the Dining Hall provided on the Ground Floor. The students will eat the School lunch in the Dining Hall. If parents wish to send in a snack with their child we request that fruit, yoghurts, milk or other healthy foods are provided to reinforce our ‘Healthy Living, Healthy Minds’ programme. Posters Students or parents who wish to put up posters in the School must seek approval from the Principal or Head of Primary before proceeding. Unauthorised posters or notices will be taken down immediately.

All students should sign-out on departure. Bus Children: Morning: Parents will be informed of bus routes and times before the beginning of the term. All buses will be timetabled to arrive no later than 0750 before proceeding to the Secondary Campus. Afternoon: There will be three Primary and five Secondary buses operating independently from their respective campuses, thereby eradicating the complication of buses having to collect from both sites and long waiting times for students. • Buses will leave the Primary Building at 1440, apart from Tuesdays when they leave at 1540. This is to allow students travelling by bus the opportunity to attend activities on Tuesday afternoon. • There is a limited shuttle bus service for children with older siblings at CC campus. If a child is not using the shuttle on any day, parents must notify the school by telephoning the Primary Office or their child will be takenon the bus as usual.

badge to the guard, collecting his or her identification. • Parents must inform the Head of Primary if they plan to remove their child from the school premises during school hours. • Should a parent make arrangements for another individual to pick up a child from the school, the School must be notified of such an arrangement, otherwise the School will not release the child into the care of that person. Upon presentation of a valid Identification card, the child will be released.
Positive Reinforcement All rules that are implemented at the School are for the benefit of the student body as a whole. Rules are intended to be guidelines for our children in order to give them a secure environment in which to work, study, socialize and play. Therefore, we ask all students, parents and teachers to follow particular rules that are conducive to a healthy learning atmosphere at The Regent’s School.
Parents and Visitors • All parents must ‘sign in’ and ‘sign-out’ at the guard’s station. • Visitors will sign-in and collect a “Visitor” badge from the guard at the front barrier in exchange for some form of identification. The badge must be worn at all times while on the campus grounds. Upon leaving the school grounds the visitor must return the
Vehicles • Only authorised school vehicles and those with Regent’s passes will be allowed to enter the school grounds. In Accordance with Thai Law, children are not allowed to drive cars under the age of 18 years or motorbikes under the age of 15 years, therefore, Primary students are expected to be driven to school by an adult.
Please follow all rules and procedures that are listed for certain areas of the school campus; in the classroom, dining hall, hallways, swimming pool, on the football field, etc. The School does not allow people to smoke on campus at all. This rule applies to anyone on campus. It is the duty of all concerned that we provide an example of good health for our children.
26
Courtesy Courtesy in behaviour, language and manner is expected of students at all times. These regulations apply to all school-related activities on campus and during field trips. • Greet people. Greet all members of staff and all visitors to the school. • If visitors seem lost, offer to help them. “Are you looking for someone?” “May I help you?” • You should always allow adults to precede you through a doorway and open the door for them. Do not push ahead. Be aware of people walking in the opposite direction to you. • Take your hands out of pockets when talking to members of the staff or other adults. • It is courteous to listen attentively to and look directly into the eyes of anyone you are talking to and not interrupt until it is your turn to speak. • The greatest courtesy of all is merely to add “Please” to all requests and to say “Thank you” for all services rendered.

STUDENTS’ DRESS CODE
DISCIPLINE POLICY POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR POLICY A student who displays good discipline is orderly, has good manners, is obedient and rarely needs correction or punishment. When a student does not follow the guidelines laid down by the school, he or she is not demonstrating good discipline, and a series of stepped solutions may be applied depending on the severity of the offence. Solutions consist of extra work, detention, “on report”, “internal exclusion”, “suspension”, “on contract” and finally exclusion. A high standard of behaviour, manners, and work is expected from all students. These values should be developed by the encouragement of self-¬discipline and by cultivating each student’s motivation and interest from within, rather that imposing these values externally. These methods are then reinforced through a system of clearly understood rewards, and sanctions. Care of School Property In order to have a school of which we all may be proud, it is necessary for everyone to feel a sense of ownership and responsibility. Students who deface, damage or destroy school materials or property will be subject to disciplinary action and required to make financial reimbursement. Security • Students should have their names written on all personal belongings so that any mislaid items can be returned. It also allows children to identify their own things from other peoples’. • Primary students should not bring electronic games to school. Lost and Found There is a ‘lost and found’ box located in the Primary Office. All items found must be taken to this office. Mobile Telephones Mobile telephones may be brought into School for students to communicate with their parents at the end of the day only. • They may not be used during the day and must remain turned off. • Inexpensive phones are recommended only. • The student takes full responsibility for his or her own phone. If possible, these should also be labeled with the child’s name.
28
Banned Items The following items, which may be hazardous or a distraction to others, may NOT be brought into school. • Weapons (guns, knives, catapults, etc.) – including replicas • Drugs and drug-related items (unless medically prescribed with proof provided.) • Undesirable pictures, books, magazines. • Firecrackers, lighters or matches • Expensive toys, expensive jewellery • Chewing gum. • Lazer Lights 1 torches.
How students wear their uniform gives others a lasting impression of a school. Students who present themselves well will earn respect for themselves and their school because they have shown respect for their school and pride in their appearance. Primary: Wearing the uniform with pride • All students are expected to wear the uniform correctly. • Top buttons must be done up with ties covering top button. • Shirts are to be tucked in. • Hair should be neat and natural coloured. Girls’ hair tied back if long. • No make-up or nail polish. • Worn or frayed clothing must be replaced. General guidelines: • School shirt - plain white with school badge. • Tie - red, blue or green with school badge. • Plaid skirt - girls. • Plaid shorts - boys. • Shoes - black leather. Trainers may be brought to play sports outside. • Navy school jumper. No non-uniform coats or cardigans. • Minimal jewellery - one necklace or religious amulet, a reasonable number of Thai strings, one bracelet, one ring. Girls may also wear plain earrings or studs. • House T-shirts on Fridays. • School hat • School Swimsuit Early Years: • Shirts - white. • Shoes - black leather. • Boys - PE kit. • Girls - PE kit. • All - House T-shirts on Friday. • No jewellery. • School hat We trust that parents and students will support the dress code by ensuring that only correct items are bought and that students come to school appropriately dressed. • Daily – full uniform to be worn • PE and Swimming Days – white PE kit to be worn • Fridays – House T-shirts to be worn. • School hats should be worn during outside play. • School Swimsuit must be worn for Swimming lessons and events.

TUITION AND OTHER FEES Application Fee This fee is payable at the time of submitting the application form. It is a non refundable fee and covers the administration costs of the application. Damage/Loss Deposit (if any) THB60,000 deposit is required by the school to recover from any property damage or damage resulted from parent’s failure to give at least one-term notice of early withdrawal. If proper withdrawal from the school, i.e. one full term notice in advance, is made, the deposit is refunded less any outstanding charges for lost/damaged books or damage to school property and equipment. If the deposit is not claimed within one year from the date of withdrawal, it is forfeited. School Lunch All students are required to pay for school lunch unless they have strict dietary requirements specified by a medical certificate. Yearbook All students paying full tuition fees receive a copy of the School Yearbook. Additional copies are available at cost from the Finance Office. Students who receive scholarships or bursaries can purchase the Yearbook at The Finance Office. Students who enter in Term 3 are able to get free the yearbook. PAYMENT DEADLINES Term 1 All school fees have to be settled by the first day of each term. Failure to do so will cause your child not to be allowed to come to school and enter classrooms until the full payment is received. If this is the case, your child will still be kept on the school register and will not be considered as ‘Withdrawn’. Normal withdrawal procedures (one term’s advance notice) still apply. Term 2 and Term 3 Students are required to pay the full fees 21 days before the end of the preceding term to reserve a place for the next term, i.e. pay Term 2’s fee by 18th November, and Term 3’s fee by 10th March. Late Payments If there are any outstanding payments by the start of each term, the School reserves the right to refuse the student access to the school or boarding house until full payment is made. In addition, a late payment fee of THB5,000 plus a charge of THB500 per day will be invoiced. Parents should contact the Principal to discuss the financial difficulty and for obtaining permission for their child to enter classroom for one or two days. This request for a few days attendance should be done in advance. This delay of fee payment is likely to be recorded in the student’s file and a repeated request is unlikely to be approved.
No Cash Policy The School operates a no cash policy. All items will be invoiced for payment and then receipts issued. All receipts should be kept as proof of payment. Cheque Thai personal cheques, cashiers cheques and bankers’ drafts are accepted. These should be made payable to Regent Bangkok Education Co.,Ltd. We are unable to accept overseas cheques and bankers’ drafts due to the long time these take to get cleared. Receipts for payments by personal cheque will only be issued once the cheque has cleared. Bank Transfer Transfers can be made from both in Thailand and from overseas to the following accounts: Krung Thai Bank Public Co.,Ltd Branch: Pracha-Uthit Road Savings Account:094-0-16669-0 Account Name: Regent Bangkok Education Co., Ltd.

NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL Withdrawal from the School requires one full term’s notice otherwise the parent is liable for a full term’s fee (tuition and boarding) in lieu of notice and the Damage/Loss Deposit will not be refunded. This means that for students withdrawing at the end of Term 2 for example, they must hand in the Withdrawal Form before the start of Term 2. Advance notice is necessary since teacher recruiting and student admissions are finalised early in the preceding term. Over or under staffing and enrolment are generally costly. Where one term’s notice of withdrawal is impossible, such as sudden forced relocation overseas or a medical emergency, special approval from the Fees Committee may be granted upon documented evidence such as written proof from the company, or a medical certificate. In the case of relocation overseas, we require a scanned copy of the departure from Thailand stamp in the student’s passport plus the entry stamp into the country of relocation. The School requires every student to give one term’s notice, except Y13 Graduates. Withdrawal must be made in writing to the Primary Office using the Withdrawal form available. All textbooks must be returned to the school on the student’s last day. A Book Return Form is available from the Primary School secretaries and the student must have each subject teacher sign the form as proof that they have returned the books. It is important that your child is properly withdrawn from the School in order to receive transcripts or report cards for his or her next school. This is a strict policy and very few exceptions will apply. Progress reports or transcripts will only be given when the withdrawal form is completed and any outstanding school fees have been settled. REFUND OF DEPOSITS For students who have withdrawn following correct procedure and with correct paperwork (see section 5), and who have no outstanding fees, any refundable deposits made will be refunded 4 to 6 weeks after the end of their last day of school. This amount of time is necessary to allow teaching staff and administration time to check thoroughly each student’s paperwork and financial status. Refunds are normally made by cheque to be collected from the Finance Department. In the event that the family has to travel overseas before the issue of the cheque, the money may be transferred into an overseas account after deducting transfer fees.

RE-ENROLMENT AFTER WITHDRAWAL Students who wish to enroll after having left the school (for even one day) are regarded as new students and subject to any new requirements if any. TRANSFERRAL BETWEEN REGENTS CAMPUSES Students who wish to transfer to another Regent’s campus must inform the Primary Office and follow the normal withdrawal procedure. They will be treated as new students at the new campus and will be subject to that campus’ fees and deposits. LATE ENROLMENT Some discounts are given to those who enrol after the Mid-term: From start to Mid-term no discount From Mid-term onwards 25% BURSARIES Third Child Bursary For families who have 3 or more children attending the School, the 3rd child onwards is entitled to a 30% discount off tuition fees, with the following conditions: 1. The parents pay the tuition fees themselves. Students whose fees are paid for by a company are not entitled to this discount. 2. All 3 children must share the same mother and father. 3. All 3 children must attend the School at the same time. Once the eldest child has withdrawn from the School, the remaining 2 students have to pay full fees. 4. Boarding, EAL, EU, lunch, transport, exercise books and other sundry fees must be paid in full.

Bus monitors will accompany all buses to look after the safety of the children, to monitor the students’ behaviour, and to assist younger students on and off the bus. Buses leave school at 2:40pm., apart from Tuesdays when they leave at 3:40pm. This is to allow students traveling by bus the opportunity to attend activities on Tuesdays. STUDENT TRANSPORT POLICY Students will be assigned to specific seats on the bus, generally with smaller students near the front and older students near the back and on the front seat. They should adhere to the following regulations: 1. Students must sit down at all times when on the bus and keep their safety belts fastened. 2. No eating or drinking is allowed on the bus. 3. No fighting, swearing or shouting is allowed. Any disciplinary problems will be referred to the Heads of School who will follow the usual disciplinary procedures according to the Student-Parent Handbook. 4.

For Primary students, an adult must be present to receive the student at the drop off point. If an adult is not present, the bus will return the student to school and the parents will be contacted. 6. Parents of Primary students should inform the Primary office if their child will be picked up that day and will not require the bus.
7. Students should make every effort to get on the bus on time, both in the morning and afternoon. 8. Students should respect and take notice of the Drivers and Bus Monitors at all times.

If a driver is indeed guilty, the school will take disciplinary action which may lead to a driver’s contract being terminated. 7. Students and driver must have safety belts firmly fastened before the bus sets off. 8. Stopping to fill up with petrol or to make purchases whilst students are on the bus is prohibited 9. In the event of any problem, school must be immediately informed. 10. Apart from the regular student runs, it is forbidden to take any vehicle out of the school grounds without receiving a permission slip. 11. Every time a vehicle is taken out, it must be recorded in the log book. 12. Smoking whilst driving and on school grounds is prohibited. 13. Drinking alcohol during work hours is prohibited. 14.

A ‘GOOD PRACTICE’ GUIDE TO EDL AT HOME Parents who are not native English Speakers, often ask ‘What can I do for my child to help with his/her English when they are not at School? • During holidays it is very easy to forget about learning English. This is the time to sign up for one of The Regent’s Schools’ summer holiday (July/August) courses. Contact the Admissions Office for details. • Another way to help your child during the holidays is to send him/her to an English speaking country. • Encourage your child to read an English book. Every student has a reading book at all times and this is one of the best ways to improve vocabulary. • Buy a Grammar exercise book with answers. The best one is ‘English Grammar in Use’ by Raymond Murphy (available at all good bookshops).
• If you speak English have one meal as a family per weekend where you all speak English together. • Make sure that your son/daughter listens to an English radio station. (For Bangkok, FM 95.5, FM 88 and FM 107 are the best!). • If your son/daughter wants to go to the cinema make sure they watch the original soundtrack version of the film. • As a family, sit down and watch television together. Watch anything as long as it is in English, and discuss the content of the programme. • Buy appropriate magazines from America or England at any good bookshop (Bookazine, Kinokuniya, DK Books or Asia Books).
