Community Activities Information, Registration & Payment Day

ISB is a vibrant place, with many opportunities offered for our students and community.

The Community Activities Office (CAO) offers a wide range of activities for students when the school day is finished.  Please take a look at our website https://www.isb.ac.th/communityactivities to get an idea of the activities available to you and how to register.  

Please note that ES Explore and ISB Athletics (BISAC and IASAS), MS Activities and HS Activities/Clubs differ from our CAO offerings.  Planning can all be a bit overwhelming, so this link  should help with some Frequently Asked Questions. Additionally, here is an annual overview of all activities which should assist with your planning as activities begin and end at various times throughout the year.

One very important piece of information regarding CAO groups – We do NOT provide transportation for students.  Please take this into account when registering your child. 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 have a CAO Information day on August 18th 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 attend please don’t worry, as all registration can be done on-line through the CAO website and payments can be made at the Community Activities Office from MondayFriday 7am-3pm.

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