Dear Parents,

Today marks the end of the third quarter of the school year. The year is flying by and we are earnestly making plans for all those end of year activities, while at the same time also making plans for the next school year. For our seniors, next Wednesday is the start of their final school exams. These are a very good rehearsal for their actual IB/AP exams. A good lead up to these exams has been shown to be excellent preparation for the IB exams, which start on Tuesday May 4. Having completed all their college applications, extended essays and IB internal assessments, it would be a shame if seniors do not perform in their school exams or even worse their IB exams. We sometimes hear a few rumors about this time of the year from seniors who have already been accepted to their university of choice, that their IB exams do not matter. This can not be more from the truth. Universities ask us for final transcripts and have been known to withdraw offers where clearly a student has not completed their senior year to the best of their ability. A favorite proverb of mine states that “dreams become a reality when we take action”. For our seniors specifically, but for all of the high school students at ISM, now is the time to take stock of our individual goals/dreams for this year. What can be achieved to make our dreams become a reality before the end of the school year comes around? Please take some time over the spring break holiday to talk to your child to reflect on what their goals were for the year and how they can be achieved. I would like to add a very big thank you to all the parents who came to the HS Parent Coffee on Tuesday to discuss the engaging topic of the Internet and Social Networking Sites. We had a very good discussion and I hope these discussions will continue at home with your child. I wish all seniors the best of luck for their exams. Have a great weekend.
Kind regards,

William R. S Brown High School Principal

Michael Dickinson High School Assistant Principal

ISM European Community Lunch Dear IFFD Volunteers: I would like to thank you all for your generous support of both food and time at the IFFD. Although it turned out the provided table space was not as great as your contribution, I still believe it was a big success for all of us. By the way, some parents asked after that event if we could get together regularly as "ISM European Community" and get to know each other, exchange and share information. Thus I decided to volunteer and to organize a lunch. Time: 11:30am, March 17th (Wed) Venue: Restaurant Chesa Bianca, 7431 Yakal St. San Antonio Village, Makati City I picked up this Swiss restaurant run by Saentis group this time because they were so generous to give us 15kg of free sausages for the IFFD. I hope as many of you as possible find the chance meaningful and join the lunch! We can discuss then further about things such as how often, where and when we want to meet, and who'd organize the next. Please let me know about your attendance by March 15 due to table reservation. Cheers, Ingrid Nagl Cellphone no.: 09275070738 Home no.: 028561092

ATTENTION: CHANGE IN PROCEDURE
Dear Parents: Every year we have to deal with the administrative burden of trying to collect from parents the $1000 Re-enrollment Deposit. This is difficult for many parents, especially those whose fees are paid by the sponsoring company, and more difficult still for the school trying to collect from parents, especially those who are not sure of their circumstances. This year we shall try something different. There will be no re-enrollment deposit. Instead, we shall expect all departing families to complete the WITHDRAWAL NOTIFICATION FORM on or before May 15th. Failure to do so will lead to a deduction of $1,000.00 from the Facilities Upgrade Deposit. As I am sure you understand, we at school face considerable pressure from families applying to enter their children into ISM. We have to establish the May 15th deadline in order for us to be fair to those families on our waitlist. The earlier you can tell us that you are leaving school, the sooner we can provide clear answers to in-coming families. Sincerely Yours, David Toze Superintendent

The works were simply amazing and this set a wonderful tone for the large crowd on Friday to flow into our Fine Arts Theatre for what was an incredible evening of musical entertainment at the Festival Concert. Our guest conductors managed to transform a group of individual delegates that they met to rehearse with only a day before into a ‘musical machine’ and each group that performed wowed the almost full theatre with a diverse and impressive repertoire of music. This event was certainly the artistic and musical pinnacle for this school year at ISM. IASAS ART & MUSIC/DDDF WRAP UP: ISM has had a great convention in Taipei and returned with a medal haul in the debate and forensics competition. Our dance and drama groups received wonderful ovations and high acclaim for their performances as well. Congratulations to all advisors and participants.

We will make a copy of relevant pages needed and return it to you if you are travelling over the upcoming break. If you are 100% positive that you will not be travelling please advise Joan Badiango at ATAC and we will keep your passport for document processing over the break. On the first day students return from the break teams fly to IASAS events so please support the ATAC Department by getting forms/passports etc in as early as you can. Coaches will be announcing IASAS teams from this coming week, as soon as you know you are in, PLEASE SUBMIT DOCUMENTATION.

TO THE HOST FAMILIES: On behalf of the ATAC and Fine Arts Departments I would like to extend a big THANK-YOU to all families that housed IASAS delegates last weekend. We had wonderful reports from the delegates about how well they had been looked after and how welcoming and enjoyable it was to be at the convention and in Manila. Thanks to all of you for your support of this huge event, it simply cannot happen with your housing support.

Parents want to be more confident about the future of their children, and most of all, they would like to see their children become tomorrow's leaders in their field.

The 7 Habits workshop helps teens increase self-confidence and self-esteem in the midst of peer pressure. It teaches them how to make smarter, proactive decisions.
