Dear Chinthes,

Happy Holidays!!!
It is time to have a well earned break. We have finished two seasons of middle and high school Yangon Athletic Conference sports. Please read below for a recap of the first two seasons and the latest action from the middle school volleyball tournament. The facilities schedule will be changing over the holidays, please see below for the December break facility schedule.

Middle School (MS) Athletics

Last Saturday our ISY middle school volleyball teams played their end of season tournament at the International School Myanmar. This would be the climax of the Yangon Athletic Conference season.
The girls team continued their dominance and won all their matches. This means they are the second middle school girls team from ISY this year to go undefeated through the season. Well done girls.
The boys were also heading into the tournament with form on their side. Unfortunately, sports have a way of not always doing what is expected. The boys lost one of their games and therefore ended up coming second in the YAC tournament. That is still a great achievement for these boys.

This year has been very good for ISY middle school sports. In the first season ISY won both the girls and boys basketball tournaments. The girls team also went through the season undefeated and the boys played a very good tournament in the end to clinch the titles. As stated earlier, the boys volleyball team didn’t quite match their basketball achievements but still came second with the girls winning the title.
In January, middle school football kicks off. There is still time to sign up to both the girls and boys teams. Those that have will start training on Wednesday the 11th of January.

Facility Schedules

Over the December Holiday the facilities schedule will change slightly.
On December 22nd and January 4th the pool and gym will be closed for public holidays, however the weights/fitness room and outdoor areas will remain open as normal.
From December 17th to January 8th, the pool will be open from 8 AM to 12 PM. All other areas will be open as normal.

This is just a reminder that our facilities booking form and Liability waiver form, are now combined on the same form for ease of use. Please remember that to use any of ISY’s facilities you must fill out the booking form.
