Annual Medical Screening For Students
by Sally PLOMLEY
sallyp@isb.ac.th
It is the time of year when we need to start the medical screening process for ALL students.
We have modified the screening process so there is a basic medical screen for most students with a more extensive screen for students entering Grades 3, 6, 9 and 11 which includes a tuberculosis screen. Any student who has had a new student medical examination after January 2016 will not need a repeat examination. All students must fill in the Nurse Medication Consent form.
Forms are available for download from the ISB website. ISB Health Services Forms and Resources
Any student with Diabetes, Asthma or Anaphylaxis will also need an action plan filled out by the doctor. Forms are available for download from the ISB website. ISB Health Services Forms and Resources
ALL FORMS MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE HEALTH CLINIC BY JUNE 30 2016 either in person or via email nurse@isb.ac.th
The medicals can be done by any registered medical practitioner either in Thailand or your home country. Many health insurance companies will cover annual medical screening for children. The medicals examinations for students entering K and grades 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10 and 12 can now be done at the Bumrungrad Nichada Clinic (with referral to the hospital is any issues). They can also be done at World Medical Center or Samitivej Hospital. All other students will need to attend Bumrungrad Hospital, World Medical Center or Samitivej Hospital.
Packages have been negotiated for Bumrungrad and World Medical Center as outlined below. Please make your child’s booking for the “ISB Student Physical Examination” and take all the forms for the doctor to fill out (as required). Please note there may be an additional 100 THB for equipment and additional fees if there are additional reviews or tests are required due to abnormalities.
Tuberculosis (TB) Screen additional costs (discuss with your doctor the appropriate screening test)

This year the Spring Showcase will exhibit several theatre projects. For the Spring Showcase, students worked collaboratively to create new work and scripted work. During the process of this showcase, students came together with a shared passion for devised work to direct, design and produce an engaging piece of theatre. The cost of admission for the performance on April 28th at 6:30pm is 100 Baht. All proceeds will go to the Maekok River Village in ChiangRai. Last week, this village suffered a devasting fire which destroyed 60 homes and has left 300 people homeless.

2016 Yoga Pray for Nepal, May 7th, 8:00 am.

This month is the one year anniversary of the horrible earthquakes that afflicted Nepal. The Moonlight Foundation runs the Moonlight school which serves children living in poverty in Kathmandu. Because they are the host of our HS GCW trips, we would like to continue to support their recovery. Through the generous response of the Nichada, ISB and yoga community last year, we were able to provide them with the money to rebuild their school.
Moonlight School is asking for additional support to be able to complete the critical components of their post-earthquake construction project. Projected costs for the water filtration system plus dust mitigation are in the range of $15,000 to $20,000 USD.
We would like to invite you to continue our support to the Moonlight Foundation.
The limited collection of T-shirt will be available for your donation at HS cafeteria, ES Walkway and yoga community.
Yoga Pray For Nepal,
