It is HOT out there! How are our PE teachers/coaches being proactive?
With the arrival of our hotter weather in the last few weeks, you may be wondering about your child outdoors involved in physical activity. We take this opportunity to remind you that we actually have the following practices in place all year long, but that we definitely pay more special attention to them now that it has been much hotter out there than usual. We do take a proactive role and insure there is an adequate supply of ice water out on the fields both during PE classes during the day, and during after school events. Students are encouraged to bring their own water bottle to class etc and reminded by their PE teacher/coach to drink plenty of water and often. Teachers/coaches do monitor students and activities regarding pacing and make adjustments as needed due to the heat level.
Leaving ISB?
If you are leaving ISB before, or end of this semester, please contact Khun Fon in the MS Office at supanniy@isb.ac.th – she will send you paperwork that needs to be completed in order for her to get your child’s school records ready for his/her next school.
14th Colgate Kids Triathlon registration is open!
The 14th Annual Colgate Kids Triathlon is just around the corner. The race will take place on Monday, May 6th (Coronation Day substitute) at 7:30AM starting at the two ISB pools. It’s shaping up to be an incredible event! Again this year the triathletes will receive timing chips to wear around their ankles for accurate time and distance recording. The Relay Race will again allow relay teams in each age division (based upon the oldest participant in the relay team), so athletes can form teams of three people to participate together. One of the relay team members can be a teacher or other adult this year.
The distances this year will be:
5-6: 50m swim, 1 km bike, 450m run
7-8: 100m swim, 2.5 km bike, 800m run
9-10: 150m swim, 4.5 km bike, 1.2 km run
11-12: 200m swim, 4.5 km bike, 1.7 km run
13-14: 250m swim, 6.8 km bike, 2.4 km run
15+: 350m swim, 9.1 km bike, 3.1 km run
Registration will close on Monday, April 29th. No late registrations will be permitted so make sure you register before the close date! The fee per participant is THB 500 (THB 1,500 for relay teams). All participants will receive a water bottle, towel and race bag.
All registrations must provide one volunteer to help on race day or pay a THB 1,000 (no volunteer fee)
Please note that all bike riders must have their own bicycle and must wear a helmet.
