HS FRIDAY BULLETIN
or email HSOffice@ismanila.org
Dear Parents,
It has been a busy four day week with the EDSA Revolution Day holiday last Monday.
Throughout this week students have been engaged in their course registration process for
the next school year. The HS Course Offerings book for 2010-2011 which is available at the
ISM website www.ismanila.org , clearly lays out all the course descriptions on offer in the
high school and the likely pathways that students can take to meet ISM graduation and IB
Diploma requirements. Please take time to study the courses on offer at ISM for next year
and how they relate to your child’s education plan.
Next week ISM hosts IASAS ART and Music. Tonight and Saturday, via special IASAS preview
performances you can get a glimpse of what amazing talent we have here at ISM in the field
of Dance, Drama, Forensics and Debate. Next Friday the IASAS Art and Music Festival
promises to be one of the finest concerts ever staged at the ISM Fine Arts Theater. Tickets
are free and are available form the ATCA office.
We had a fantastic turn out at the last HS Parent Coffee and I am hoping that it will be the
same again on Tuesday March 9 when our single agenda item to discuss will be “The
Internet, Your Child and Social Networking Sites”. We have invited MS parents along to this
event as well and Fred Biggar our HS IT Curriculum Director asked those present at our last
HS Parent Coffee meeting to do some homework for this meeting. I hope you are doing it!
March “madness” will bring the following: grade 9 geography trips to Taal, IASAS Art and
Music, HS Parent Coffee, Pre-IASAS sports exchanges, the end of third quarter, grade 12 IB
“mock” exams and the EARCOS teacher conference, hosted this year at ISM, followed by a
well deserved Spring Break starting with an early release on Thursday March 25.
Enjoy!
Kind regards,

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
