Dear Parents,

Thank you to the 65 parents who joined us on Wednesday evening to learn more about the changes to GCW for the 2020-21 school year. We were able to share a presentation and answer questions and concerns that have been raised in recent weeks about GCW. Many of these questions were regarding the move of the trips to December and how ISB would support students (particularly seniors) during this time period.

If you were unable to attend you can see the presentation by clicking on GCW Parent Presentation – Feb 5th. Please see this LETTER for a more detailed explanation of the changes to GCW for 2020/21. We will also share the presentation and the letter with our students and indeed we held grade level meetings during the week to review the main changes for next year. Our wonderful Panther Nation journalists have also released a summary of the GCW changes in the student online magazine which you can read here.

Congratulations to all participants and spectators at last week’s IASAS events that took place in Singapore, Jakarta and of course here at ISB. I was so pleased that all of these events went ahead, despite some concerns regarding teams traveling at this time. The energy, great spirit, comradeship and healthy competition that took place over the weekend really underlined the importance and significance of these events to our community and to our sister IASAS schools.

ISB also experienced great success with our teams both here and away.

Boys Tennis – Gold
Girls Basketball – Silver
Boys Swimming – Silver
Boys Rugby – Bronze
Girls Tennis – 4th
Girls Swimming – 4th
Boys Basketball – 5th
Girls Touch – 6th

Congratulations to all Season 2 student-athletes and coaches and a huge thank you to all parents that hosted visiting athletes here.

Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy IFF on Saturday.
