The Bangkok International String Festival has almost arrived – ISB is once again proud to host this year’s string festival on the 29th and 30th of September. This year the B.I.S.F. Orchestra will feature over 90 string players. The students will have the distinguished opportunity to work with Jeffrey Grogan. Mr. Grogan is an internationally-known conductor and teacher who has spent over 25 years dedicated to the pursuit of his craft and the nurturing of young talent. We are thrilled that he is able to join us in Bangkok and share his love of music with us.
Please mark your calendars for Saturday, 30 September at 2:00pm. You won’t want to miss this wonderful collaboration and performance by the B.I.S.F. String Orchestra taking place in the Cultural Center Theatre.

Calendar Date Changes: ISB Graduation and other May/June Events
By: Justin Alexander, High School Principal
justina@isb.ac.th
Dear ISB Community,
Please note that after seeking feedback and suggestions from parents and students from the class of 2018, the Graduation date and ceremony has now been moved to Saturday May 26th at 1pm. There was strong support for this change with 89% of parents and 73% of students surveyed last week preferring the earlier graduation date instead of the originally planned last day of school in June.
The date change for Graduation means that a number of other ISB events scheduled in May and June 2018 now need to move in order to avoid conflicts with dates and facilities. We have received great support from our Building and Grounds team and our Athletics and Arts Programs in order to move some of their events around. The changes listed below will be made on the ISB online calendar in the days ahead. In the near future we will produce a PDF version of the updated months of May and June for parents to print out and add to their ISB hard copy calendar.
Regards
Justin Alexander
High School Principal
