Congratulations to the Class of 2022 |

Hi Everyone,

I am writing today’s message a few moments after our Seniors completed their final graduation rehearsal in preparations for their final day. Although the seniors were very excited about getting their caps and gowns for the ceremony and keen to do their final run through of the ceremony, the best moments were for other reasons.

Our HS PTA rep (Xiao He) and our Thai PTA reps joined us at the start of the rehearsal to present gifts to our Seniors. It has been a long standing tradition for our PTA to present ISB embroidered blankets to the graduating class and they love them. With many students moving to cooler climes for their further studies, an ISB blanket is not only a good memento from their time at ISB, but a practical one when in a cold university dorm room in February. To compliment the warm blanket was the presentation of an ISB themed cooler bag from the Thai PTA to keep things cold during warmer months. Thank you to both the HS PTA and the Thai PTA for providing these gifts to all of our Seniors today.

But the best gift of all was the visit to the rehearsal by our Elementary School friends in Grade 2 and 3. On Thursday we hosted a Senior Parade through the campus with our ES friends making posters, masks and cheering on our seniors as they snaked their way through the campus. This was very special for both our younger students and seniors alike and today our younger friends returned to cheer them on once more and to give over the posters and signs to the Seniors themselves. It was a great connection with our younger students and the soon to be Alumni of ISB.

Whilst the class of 2022 will enjoy their graduation and Prom tonight, they will however miss out on the opportunity to participate in DELVE next week. Mr. Assimakopoulus has worked tirelessly with Khun Pat in the HS office, to organise DELVE a number of times and we look forward to DELVE starting this weekend or on Monday. Good luck to all of our Grade 9, 10 and 11 students next week.

Congratulations to the Class of 2022
