Registration for the annual Global Citizenship Week courses begins Monday, 21 Sept at 7:00pm for students in Grade 12 and Wednesday 23 Sept at 7:00pm for students in Grade 11.
To find out more about all the courses offered as part of this year’s GCW week, please go to the ISB website at this link: https://www.isb.ac.th/learning-isb/academics/hs/gcw. The 2016-17 GCW Handbook can be found at this link.
We strongly encourage that prior to this date you have conversations with your child about expectations – both cost and experience as there are some essential requirements for students as they register for courses. If students register for courses and change courses at a later date they will be moved to local low cost courses.
Important guidelines:
- Students must register via the online registration site (see below).
- Students are required to complete a Category 1 (in Thailand) course before they graduate (Note: Internships do not count as Category 1)
- Students may only select a Category 3 (outside Asia) course if previously completed Category 1 (in Thailand).
- In order to participate in an out of Asia course (category 3), students must have first participated in a course within Thailand (category 1).
- Students will be asked to register listing courses by preference. If one choice is full, we will try to place each student in the next course in order.
- Students should communicate with parents before registering. Any changes after registration will result in students moving to the end of lists or to low cost local courses.
- Students will receive an email to their school account confirming their registrations, this often goes to their SPAM folder. If your child is panicking because they didn’t receive a confirmation email, please ask them to check their SPAM folder as it should be in their
- Students should register online using their ISB username and password. Students also need to log out of all other Google Accounts before registering.
