Friday, May 24th

Dear Parents,

We are very much looking forward to Graduation on Saturday, June 1st and the recently announced holiday which will take place on Monday, June 3rd. I would like to invite all of our community to attend the Legs for Legs concert which takes place on Tuesday, May 28th at 3.30pm in the CCT (doors open at 3 pm) to see our wonderful dancers put on a great show.

Please note that June 3rd is now a school holiday with no classes taking place on that day. Exams for Grade 9 -11 will still start on Tuesday, June 3rd and your children can access their Exam schedules via PowerSchool.

Have a great weekend.

Regards

All students have their individual exam schedules available through Powerschool (they appear at the top right of the main lookup screen). If you have not seen it, please log on to Powerschool and ask your son or daughter.

June 2019 exams run from Tuesday 4th June to Friday 7th June.
There are 3 exam sessions each day which have 7:20, 10:00 and 1:00 start times, except for students with accommodations, who have separate schedules. Students should arrive at their exam venues 15 minutes early. Students will only be permitted to leave an exam early after 90 minutes.
Students are expected to bring pens, pencils, rulers, erasers, ISB ID card, calculator (if required) and a clear water bottle to each exam.
Students who do not have an exam on a day may stay at home to study or use our Library for private study.
Students can leave school early after an exam by completing an exam early departure form (attached). This form is attached to this notice and will be posted on the Parent and Student Portals or hard copies can be obtained from the HS Office. Students will need to have a parent-signed, completed form for each instance they wish to leave campus.
Students are expected to take each exam as scheduled. Students who are sick for an exam must contact the HS office immediately. Medical certificates MUST be provided.
Monday 10th June and Tuesday 11th June are exam feedback days where normal attendance is expected. Teachers will look at group and individual feedback, review mark schemes and success criteria, look at exemplary answers and develop future goals. School will still finish at 11:30am on Tuesday following the HS end of year assembly.

Formal Attire is required.
Students must arrive by 8pm, if there is a situation with traffic, please call an administrator to inform us.
Once students leave the dance, they are not permitted to rejoin.
There is no transport provided to and from this event.
ISB Staff will remain in the hotel lobby until all students have departed.

Graduation Photo for the class of 2019 : Register your interest! (Repeat)

Eriko Sugawara
erico.sugawara@gmail.com

Come to the Photo Studio near the Rajendra Hall to take pictures individually, or with family and friends. The Photo Studio will be open at 8:00am – 12:00pm in the morning session and after the ceremony until 6:00pm in the evening session on the graduation day. We usually have less people in the morning. Your child hasn’t gotten the diploma and Phung Malai yet before the ceremony? No worries! We will have them ready as props. Please click on http://bit.ly/isbgradphoto to check more details and register your interest. You are welcome to walk-in on the day, but registering your interest will help the photo taking process be smooth and fast. Thank you for your cooperation!

Personal Photographer
A photo of your child in their gown and cap with their diploma in hand, with Phuang Malai hanging from their neck is certainly important on this big day. But there are plenty of good photo opportunities before and after the ceremony: photos that are more candid and tell a story. Your personal photographer will follow you and capture your special moments all day (9:30am – 6:00pm). You can also share a photographer with a friend (limited to 2 families per photographer). Please click on Personal Photographer for more details and booking. Questions? email info@firstpix.co.th. 10% of the sales will go to the graduation committee to cover the cost of reception.

ISB’s Summer School will once again offer the HS Summer Work Experience Program between June 17th-27th this year. The purpose of the program is “to secure work experience opportunities for highly motivated ISB students in reputable business enterprises in and around the Greater Bangkok area.“

Additionally, the goals of the program are:

to provide enterprising students with hands on experience in a career path they are interested in pursuing;
to develop CV/Resume and Interviewing skills;
to have students experience the daily life and routine of said career;
where possible, to have students be engaged in producing real time projects during their internship.

So far, companies such as Lexicon Business Communications, Seagate, Novotel Hotels, Big Brain Pictures (Video Editing), Media TransAsia, and Vichaiyut Hospital have agreed to accept ISB students for internships.

Information about registration and fees is available at ISB’s website: https://www.isb.ac.th/learning-isb/signature-programs/summer-school/
