As I write this, we have a group of ISY High School students in Singapore taking part in the United World College (UWC) Model United Nations (MUN) Conference.

To learn more about what a MUN Conference is, you can click here to read an ISY student’s perspective on their experiences last year and see how these conferences further our school’s Missions and Vision.

Last Friday, I was a very proud spectator at the Yangon Athletic Conference High School Volleyball Finals. Our Boys Team won the Championship and our young Girls Team had a very convincing win in their third place play-off game. Both teams were fine examples of the Chinthe spirit in action!

Student Agreement of Acceptable Technology Use

As responsible digital citizens, our students are required to sign a Student Agreement of Acceptable Technology Use every year. The agreement is explained to students in class before they sign it each year. Once a student signs the agreement, parents will receive an email to also sign it. As parents, please look out for this email and contact our Secondary School office if you have any questions.
