Dear Parents,
Each week I get more and more excited as I write about the various activities and events that are taking place on campus for our HS students. Last weekend we successfully hosted athletic games on Friday and Saturday at ISB and hosted 120 students from other Bangkok schools at our ServICE conference which took place on Saturday and Sunday. There are once again more athletic events and programs taking place after school and through the weekend and into next week.
We will celebrate the last day before the February break by hosting the ‘Battle of Bangkok’ basketball tournament here at ISB whilst our other sporting teams travel to compete in day-long tournaments around Bangkok.
Parents of students in Grade 9, 10, and 11 all had opportunities to hear from the HS counselors and HS admin team over the past two weeks about course selections and programs for the coming academic year. Please be sure to check in with your children and complete the subject selections on PowerSchool before the published deadlines.
HS PTA meeting
Please mark your calendar for an upcoming HS PTA meeting scheduled for Tuesday, February 22nd at 9am. This is the first Tuesday after the break and the agenda will include updates on Athletics/Activities, DELVE trips in May, Student Parent conference details, Exam updates, Counselor updates, and maybe a student performance or two. At this stage we anticipate that this meeting will be a zoom webinar (registration details will be in next week’s Enews)
Attendance
Once again we have great attendance at school with 97% of HS students on campus this week and only a few students away for covid related reasons. If your child does test positive or a family member tests positive please be sure to let our Health team (isbnurse@isb.ac.th) and me (jusytina@isb.com.au know as soon as practical so we can keep everyone safe and healthy.
Regards
Justin Alexander
HS Principal
