Dear ISB Community,
When setting the calendar for this school year in October 2017, we made a provision for an extra school day on June 12 in the event that the future announcement of Coronation Day occurred on a school day.
The Royal Palace announced early this month that His Majesty’s Coronation Ceremonies will take place on May 4-6, 2019.
No government decision has yet been made regarding school closures. However, we are anticipating that ISB will be closed on Monday 6th May. (Please note that IB exams scheduled for this day will still take place). We will be in touch again when we have clarity.
Knowing that a number of ISB community members will already have made plans to leave Bangkok on 11th June, ISB will not be adding an extra school day to compensate for any possible additional holiday. The last day of school will be June 11.
We hope that this clarification will help with making holiday arrangements for the summer.
I know we are all looking forward to this most auspicious occasion and to witnessing an historical coronation ceremony for HM King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun.
Sincerely,
Dr. Andrew Davies
Head of School
