Message from the Adm inistration:
Dear Parents,
As I write this message, I find myself in the enviable position of watching, and thoroughly enjoying, the
IASAS Rugby and Touch tournaments, hosted this year here at ISM. The boys performed as well as we hoped
yesterday (Thursday), with a first game defeat to SAS, Singapore followed by a last second (literally, last
second) victory against ISB, Bangkok. Our girls made a confident and commanding start to this year’s
campaign with a 5-0 win against JIS, Jakarta followed by a second, albeit more narrow, victory against TAS,Taipei. It is encouraging to witness the excellent level of support by our ES, MS and HS students and
teachers, together with many, many parents here to enjoy the games.
Please come out to ISM tomorrow, (Saturday, February 4th) to both support or sports men and women and to
enjoy the competition. The schedule of games can be found at iasas.ismanila.org/rugby/schedule.
Elsewhere in the region our ISM athletes have made a strong start – with Basketball in Bangkok, Swimming in
Jakarta, and Tennis in KL. The results for all these, including the Rugby and Touch can be found on the
iasas.asia website. Good luck to all our athletes.
As Mr. Brown stated in last week’s Friday Bulletin, we are rapidly approaching the time of year when
students make their selections for the courses that they would like to study next academic year, 2012-2013.
Please take the time to review the “High School Course Offerings 2012-2013” handbook that is available to
browse online on our website at www.ismanila.org. Make sure that you have discussed the courses that your
son or daughter would like to take next year so that they align with their future plans and aspirations.
A large part of next Tuesday’s High School Parent Coffee will focus on the course selection process – if you
can make it we would love for you to attend this session at 9:30 in the Little Theatre.

College Tours to U.S. and Canada
Visiting university campuses is a great way for
students to begin the process of discovering which
universities are good fits for them. Touring a campus,
meeting other
students
and
admissions
staff,
and
experiencing dorm life are all helpful in determining to
which schools a student will apply and to which school he
or she will attend. Summer university visits are especially
encouraged, when possible, for students currently in
grades 10 and 11.
Various companies provide “packaged” college
tours. One such company, TS College Tours based in
Singapore, has several college tours planned for students
this coming summer. Tours fill up fast, so if you are
interested, please check out the website:
http://www.tscollegetours.com/
TS College Tours focuses exclusively on the
backgrounds, needs and interests of students attending
international schools who hope to attend college in the
US or Canada. The founder of the company is a former
ISM counselor, and has vast experience with university
admissions.
Another reputable company, based in the U.S., is
College Visits. Information about their tours planned
between now
and
July
2012
can
be
found
on
the
website:
http://www.college‐visits.com.
