Dear Chinthes,

I hope you all enjoyed the holiday.
With the holiday from school we also have had a holiday from athletics and activities, however, as is often the way here at ISY, we are back into the swing of things again. Our high school girls and boys football and volleyball teams continue to train this week. In middle school we have started our new athletic season. This season the middle school athletes are competing in volleyball. And finally our Junior Varsity girls and boys volleyball players have a tournament on Saturday at International School of Myanmar.
On another note our facilities schedule is back to normal and our after school activities program resumed this week after the holiday.

High School Athletics

It is time for our junior varsity (JV) teams to receive some of the limelight this week. Our high school girls and boys volleyball JV teams are competing in a Yangon Athletic Conference tournament this Saturday at International School Myanmar. They have looked good all season and this should be a good chance for them to show everyone how hard they have worked. Our JV sides are an important part of any sports program because this gives our younger and less experienced players a chance for valuable game time and to test themselves in the pressure of a real match situation. We wish them all the best for Saturday.
Our high school varsity teams are still working hard on improving their skills and teamwork. The football season will kick off soon and hopefully we will be able to get some pre-season friendly games organised so our football players can see how they are developing. The season will officially start on the 11th of November with the pre-season tournament.
Our high school volleyball teams will continue to train until their end of season tournament.
