Community Activities Office

Dear ISB Students and Parents,

Welcome to International School Bangkok!

As you will find out very soon, ISB is a busy place. We at the Community Activities Office (CAO) offer a wide variety of activities for students to participate in when the school day is finished.

Please go to our website https://inside.isb.ac.th/cao/ to get an idea of all activities available and how to register.  Please be aware that there are also Elementary After School Activities (ES ASA) and ISB Athletics (BISAC and IASAS) which differ from our CAO offerings.  Yes, it can be a bit confusing, this document (click here) should help give you a basic understanding of CAO, ES ASA’s, and ISB Athletics.

One very important piece of information regarding CAO groups:  We do NOT provide transportation for students.  So please take this into account when registering your children.  For those of you that live in and around Nichada, this should not be a problem, but for those of you who live downtown and want to participate, you will have to arrange your own transport.

We will havea CAO Information day on August 15th from 9am-12 noon in the ES A/C Gym.  This will give you the opportunity to ask questions, register and pay for activities.  If you cannot make this day please don’t worry, all registration can be done on-line through the CAO website, and payments can be made at the CAO Monday-Friday 7am-3pm (located next to the nurse and bookstore).

I hope you all have a great start to the school year…..!

Regards,

Bob Connor
Community Activities Coordinator
