Message from the High School Principal:Dear Parents,

For those who know me well you will recognize that I am passionate about ISM High School. So many times

we do things where I sit back and say wow that did not happen when I was at school, or am I really the

principal of a school that can perform such outstanding feats. I had one of those moments last Sunday

afternoon, in the middle of the GIN Conference Closing Ceremony, when Moonie Sohn and Mariella Salazar

sang a duet called What do we do now, while images of 400 guests simultaneously flashed across the

screen. All had been actively engaged in ICARE 2, working with ISMs service learning partners, the

previous day. It was a very powerful moment, to what was an inspiring conference. My congratulations to

Tom McLean and his team who organized this wonderful conference experience. As usual in ISM HS style,

student leaders ran the conference. Tom only appeared on stage in the final 5 minutes of the conference

to say thank you. In addition as part of GIN, this years annual Battle of the Bands finals was held on

Saturday night. Again a student run club, this event alone raised of Php 600,000 for ISM service partners!

Congratulations to Dale Hutchison and his BOB Council for this amazing effort!

This week we are conducting the IASAS Cultural Convention previews and if you have time please visit and

see the fantastic ISM student talent we have on display in the areas of Music, Art, Dance, Drama, Forensics

and Debate. We wish all IASAS participants the best of luck next week. In conjunction with IASAS CulturalConvention we will run a no homework weekend during March 3-4. Teachers are instructed to not set

any NEW homework, however students can use this time wisely to catch up and make progress on larger

assignments and projects if they need to.

It has been a busy time especially for our seniors as much of their IB work has culminated in final

assessments being due. The good news is that in almost all cases the internal assessment is completed and

students can now focus on IB Mock Exams in March and the actual IB/AP exams in May.

I hope to see you on Saturday afternoon at the Dance-Drama preview.

Enjoy the weekend.

The International School Manila Modern Languages

Department is pleased to announce its 2012 Summer

Language Study / Home-stay / Travel Program to Spain.This program is for students 14 years of age or older as

of June 1

st

. It aims to develop students languageproficiency and to broaden their cultural knowledge. This

program is being offered in cooperation with Tandem

(http://www.escuela-montalban.com/index.php). We with

spend three weeks at the Granada campus and one

week at the Madrid campus. Students will continue

learning and more importantly practicing Spanish through

total immersion in classes and during the home-stay. The

Tandem school finds families for students to stay with,

assists in locating appropriate local resources for the

groups activities, plans outings, maintains a list of local

medical and emergency resources, and helps with the

orientation for group leaders.

Students will receive Spanish classes each morning that

include language and culture subjects and prepare

students for cultural visits. The cultural program will take

place in the afternoons/evenings and will be made up of

various supervised activities that take advantage of the

unique environment while taking into account the

individual interests of the students. Cultural activities

include things such as preparing paella, guided tours of

historical buildings, towns and museums, watching

flamenco dancing, visiting hot water springs, beach trips,horseback riding, etc.

The dates of this trip will be approximately June 2nd

30th, 2012. If you are interested, please contact Jennifer

Diaz ([email protected]) to receive more information.

Students are parents interested in this trip to Spain

should plan to attend an informational meeting at 5:30
