Dear Colleagues and Friends in and beyond our member schools, It is now a calendar truth that no week passes in any of our schools without there being some sort of FOBISIA event for our pupils or train-ing for colleagues. WOW! What a wonderful testament to all of you who are reading this brief introduction and who also do so very much to make this shared ownership and provision a working reality for the federation. CONGRATULATIONS, WELL DONE & THANK YOU! I do hope that you continue to feel proud of yourself and of your Federation for there is every reason for you to feel this way. It is your efforts that are the life-blood of our organisation.

It seems like only a short time ago that the Heads conference took place in Tanglin, Singapore, and our most recent Business meeting so ably co-hosted by Seoul Foreign School and Dulwich College has also just raced past. Enormous thanks go to Tim Gray, Graeme Salt and their teams who did so much to make the latter gathering run so smoothly. As always, there was work to be done but this was also balanced by some great social time and the op-portunity for colleague Heads to better network and share ideas. Some Business highlights were: Mick Farley (Harrow) shared with us great news about the growing number and diversity

of training opportunities being offered in region. A special date to note in your diaries will be the next Teachers conference to be hosted in HCMC on the weekend of October 21st & 22nd 2017. Thank you to Paul Holyome and BVIS for agreeing to offer the next ven-ue for this great event for the benefit of all colleagues.

The Sports Page Headlines were to see us hear about the rapidly advancing plans for the ongoing evolution and future provision of “the Games.” Barnaby Sandow (Jerudong) and all the members of the PE ExCom deserve special thanks and praise for bringing all this work to its current level of readiness. The months ahead will now see the federation invite tenders from outsourced providers to offer the Games of the future at an agreed “hub.”

John Moore (Kathmandu) shared similar news of success regarding the ever growing number of non-sporting events being offered. All involved with this aspect of organisa-tion will be watching how the organisation of the games develops and thinking carefully as to how the inevitable growth of events can also best be best managed in the future.

The work of the Future Directions Committee (FDC) has seen some giant steps taken forwards with the benefit of consultation from senior executives at Goldmann Sachs & HSBC facilitated by the support and good work of Ann McDonald (Kellett) and Stephen Holroyd (Shrewsbury).

The work to review the content of Membership criteria and the process for more effi-ciently conducting visits to prospective member schools remains a work in progress. I will now be taking this on and hope to have completed this for the federation before the end of this academic year.

I also do not want this moment to pass without properly recording my thanks and that of the federation for the work that John Todd (Dulwich College Suzhou) has done as Vice-Chairman. As many of you will have observed and appreciated, John has been the perfect (and very different) colleague for me to be able share and “bounce” ideas, as well as all that he has individually done to tighten and better formalise our membership procedures. Looking to the future, we now welcome Graeme Salt (Dulwich College Seoul) onto the Exec as Treasurer as well as thanking & congratulating Simon Watson (Kolej Tuanku Ja’far) for his willingness to step into the role of VC. The new ExCom line-up is as follows: -. Simon Watson from Kolej Tuanku Ja’far (Vice-Chair) will take over the existing Membership and Standards brief.

This will ensure application procedures for all new applicant schools can continue as normal. Simon will also “police” the existing standards requirements to ensure continued compliance by all as well as steadily taking more control of the strategic plan.

Stephen Holroyd from Shrewsbury Bangkok (Secretary; FDC & Communications) continues to lead on these most important parts of the Ex Com’s work. He is currently working with Tania on the Interviews for a Senior Administrator (replacing Gurmeet) and Events Coordinator (replacing Mona).

Graeme Salt of Dulwich College Seoul (Treasurer) takes over our financial management from Simon. We are all grateful to him for his willingness to take on this most important role. Simon and he will be working closely together to assure a smooth transition.

Mick Farley of Harrow Bangkok (CPD) will continue with his excellent regional teams to lead on this all important provision. Congratulations and thanks are due for the richness of the programmes in both conferences and school-based JAWs

Barnaby Sandow from Jerudong Brunei (Sport) continues in this role. Having moved mountains to bring the potential reorganisation of the games to the professional position it is now in, we congratulate and thank him for the immense amount of work involved.

John Moore from the BS Kathmandu (Events) will continue his good work in this area and with his Executive Committee. As for Sport, we are lucky that “Events” are in a good place and in capable and safe hands.

Kathy Wood of Hornbill, Brunei (Pastoral / Communications / Educational links) contributes in so many areas, assists with representation beyond the region, will sustain educational links and keep all of us focussed on our core educational purpose.

Gary Benfield from ABC International School HCMC (Chair) will retain responsibility for personnel, representation, shared ownership of the strategic plan, and that part of Membership and Standards that is under review and needs “tidying up.”

Every member of the Executive Committee, along with Tania our Executive Officer and her team continue to be unfailing in their commitment and dedication to furthering the Federations work. It is a privilege to work with them and to be able to thank them on behalf of all the membership for their hard work. I think that is now quite enough from me by way of introduction and it is now time for you to read on, to learn about all that has been reported by our membership and to so share in the rich life of your Federation.

Gary D. Benfield (March 2016); Headmaster of the ABC International School, HCMC,

& current Chairman of FOBISIA.

THE REBUILDING EFFORTS OF TBS CHARITIES

Almost a year on from the first earthquake of 25th April. Staff here at the British School Kathmandu have been working hard to ensure that students within our community projects can return to safe and secure buildings as soon as possible. To date, we have opened one new school building at Sungava, and the 3 buildings in the Dhading region are nearing completion. Sungava is a day school located within the Kathmandu valley that focuses on rehabilitation and basic life skills training for young girls with learning difficulties, especially down's syndrome. The new building at Sungava consists of 5 new classrooms, a staff room and a open plan commu-nal area that will be used for the day to day needs of the students of Sungava. This new building more than doubles the space available for the students of Sungava. The new buildings in Dhading are progressing on time, with construction of the second storey well under way. We estimate (weather permitting) that they will be completed the next 2-3 months. At one of the schools we have been able to purchase some more land to allow the students to have a bigger play area. This is something that this com-munity have been asking for since we started working with them and they are very excited at the prospect of more space to have fun.

We have been able to work as closely as possible with com-munities affected by the earthquakes, We wish to thank you, the FOBISIA community, and this progress would not have been possible without you all! Contributed by: Isaac Robinson, British School Kathmandu

THE 5th ANNUAL FOBISIA DRAMA FESTIVAL HOSTED BY THE JERUDONG INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL BRUNEI

The 5th Annual FOBISIA Drama Festival: Company of Strangers was hosted in the spectacular Arts Centre at Jerudong International School, Brunei from the 18th-21st February 2016. One-hundred-fifty-nine students took part from 4 countries rep-resenting 10 schools from across Asia. This year is the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death and so the Drama community of FOBISIA schools wanted to mark this occasion with a festival that celebrated the wonderful work of the bard! To this end, as the students arrived in Brunei they were immediately ‘sorted’ into Shake-spearian style Companies. Each Company was

given 50 words from one Shakespearean text and over three days produced a completely original and abstract perfor-mance of their given play. Each company was given a ‘tool kit’ to work with, comprising a curtain on a wire, 4 swords, a range of costumes, 2 box-es, a doorway, 3 planks of wood and a Bodhrán (a traditional Irish drum). In addition to this range of items every stu-dent took part in 7 workshops that covered a range of skills that Shakespearian actors would have had and some mod-ern theatrical skills that they could apply to their own devised work. Through the workshops the students learnt to fight with swords, experimented with physical theatre and dance, explored text through the use of Whooshes, Dramatic Exploration and the work of Brecht as well as the skills needed to compose and perform their own original folk music.

In addition to dramatic exploration all of the students completed two cultural visits whilst in Brunei. First was a Jungle Walk which saw each Company working together to cross rivers, climb hills and experience the rainforest first hand! Brunei’s jungles are in incredible condition and a real asset of the country. The Jungle Walk challenged the students in an alien environment to develop as a team and work together towards a common goal. The second cultural visit was to Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei’s capital city, where the students went on a boat ride visiting Kampong Ayer (the water village), the Grand Mosque, The Sultan’s Palace and the Proboscis Monkey’s in their natural mangrove environment.

On the second day of the festival we were honoured to be visited by David Campbell, the British High Commissioner to Brunei Darussalam. He toured the festival and complimented the staff, students and JIS on the quality of the workshops on offer. He also spoke of the importance of Shakespeare and the importance of the Performing Arts in International Schools. The Festival culminated in 8 performances of 8 different Shake-spearean Texts. Each of these spectacular performances was filmed and is available on the JIS Brunei YouTube page. By:

PRIMARY PERFORMING ARTS CARNIVAL— SHOWTIME

The FOBISIA Primary Performing Arts Carnival 2016 was hosted by the British International School, Ho Chi Minh City and 230 students from 16 schools took part. It was the first time ever that this event has taken place in Vietnam and we were very proud to be able to wel-come our visitors for a weekend of mu-sic-making. The Carnival began with a Welcome Dinner and featured BIS HCMC students performing a beautiful Nón Lá (conical hat) dance, followed by a per-formance from a traditional Vietnam-ese band. We then spent an enjoyable day around Saigon, visiting Vietopia

and also a cinema trip to see Kung Fu Panda 3. However, Friday also saw the start of our hard work and rehearsals for the concert began. The highlight of the day was defi-nitely FOBISIA’s Got Talent, where the 16 participating schools presented a wide variety of performances, from expressive dance to pop bands and even synchronised swimming! Saturday was mostly spent deep in rehearsal and prepara-tions for the Gala Concert began in earnest. There was still time however to take part in a range of workshops explor-ing the Expressive Arts. The children experienced Fan Painting, Bamboo Stick Dance, Drama with Masks, Vietnam-ese Drumming plus Latin Dance practical workshops and many, many more.

And so Concert Day arrived all too soon! We spent the morning adding the final touches to each piece and, in the afternoon, gave an absolutely phenomenal performance to our families and friends. The theme of the concert was “Showtime” and all of the piec-es for choir and orchestra were taken from shows, operas and musicals. The concert ended with a rousing finale of “The Impossi-ble Dream”. So many of the audience including Gary Benfield, Chair of FOBISIA itself, commented on how they could not believe such a performance came from primary-aged children.

The event was rounded off with a Celebration Dinner and Disco where both the staff and students happily let off some steam on the dance floor. The FOBISIA PPAC was a wonderful event and we hope that all of the children involved have made friends and memories which will last for ever.

It was a windy welcome to Jeju for our visitors! It all started with learning how to say “An-nyeong-ha-se-yo” in the welcome ceremony, where NLCS Jeju students performed some traditional Korean music and the First Orchestra played Beethoven’s ‘Overture to Egmont’. Despite our participants being extremely tired from several hours travelling, they sang with energy and passion in the first rehearsal and sang all the way to bed that evening. As the rehearsals continued through Friday, the confidence and sound grew exponentially – big smiles and commit-ment all round. By 4pm, students had done sectionals, split choir and full rehearsals, as well as their own music making in the breaks! They didn’t stop singing! We all had Korean cuisine for dinner and then went into Jeju City to watch ‘HERO’, a hilarious live Arts show, where Mr Thorrington became the 5th Painter for a short time! Saturday morning, our visitors went for a beautiful coastal walk in the fresh sunshine, then back to rehearsals, prepar-ing for the evening concert. Wearing their blue Festival T-shirts, students walked down the theatre steps to the percus-sion of Balia Di Sehu to open the concert and congregated on stage for a fabulous forty-minute performance. After the concert, there was cake and a quick-change, ready for the party. The students danced and danced until they dropped. Overall, an inspiring and exhilarating few days, where students from all schools made beautiful music and forged new friendships. A huge thanks to our wonderful Choral Director, Bethan Clark, whose expertise ensured high standards over a range of choral disciplines. NLCS Jeju was delighted to host the Choral Festival this year.

FOBISIA MUSIC FESTIVAL

Several musically talented students were selected to participate in the FOBISIA Orchestral Festival, held at the British International School Phuket. This was a chance for us to work as a team, not to compete against one another. From beginning to end, we practised tirelessly in order to have a successful final concert. Most rehearsals, and the concert, were led by professional con-ductor, Mr. Jonathan Mann. We all agreed that it was a pleasure to be able to work with him. However, this trip wasn’t wholly devot-ed to improving our playing. We also got time to socialise and get to know each other. We went to one of the most pop-ular shows in Thailand, Siam Niramit, and enjoyed a night of dancing at a dis-co - watching classical musicians danc-ing their way to pop music was enter-taining. The concert began with ‘The Royal Thai Anthem’, followed by three separate performance groups before the Orchestral performances: the Sam-ba band with percussion, the Jazz band performing ‘Blackbird’ by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and finally the Flute Choir playing ‘Cool Calm and Collected’ by the Rolling Stones. Then the audi-ence welcomed Mr. Mann and the or-chestral players, we performed the two pieces which were the highlight of the show. This trip was unforgettable and truly inspired us to become better musicians. d finally the Flute Choir playing ‘Cool Calm and Collected’ by the Rolling

BRITISH SCHOOL GUANGZHOU HOSTS THE FOBISIA PRIMARY MATHS CHALLENGE

The FOBISIA Primary Mathematics Challenge is an annual event which brings math lovers from all over Asia together to share and celebrate their common interest, as well as compete against each other to see which school are the mathlete champions! This year the British School of Guangzhou was lucky enough to have had the honour of hosting the international event, and welcomed 28 different participating schools to Guangzhou. Held on 11th and 12th March 2016, the event challenged partici-pants to their very limits of their mathematical abil-ities through nine activities, each one focusing on different areas of maths.

These included arithmetic, mental maths, and even following a preset course around the school by using a compass. All visiting teams competed admirably showing great maths skills and fantastic teamwork, far in advance of their years. Special congratulations to the British International School of Shanghai, Puxi, who walked away with the coveted Mathematics Challenge Champions trophy. Many people from BSG pulled together to organise this wonderful event, which was enjoyed by all, and most importantly, was very challenging for all of those who participated.

PREP STUDENTS PUZZLE IT OUT AT FOBISIA MATHEMATICS CHALLENGES Harrow Bangkok Prep students were whisked away to China and Malaysia recently, to test their mathematics skills. Harrow Bangkok was one of the 30 schools in the region that brought their brightest mathematical brains to The

British School Guangzhou earlier this month for the Primary Challenges, and to the eLC School in Selangor for the Secondary Challenge in February. Both competitions were skilfully hosted and our thanks go to the host schools for their hard work. The students really benefitted from the opportunity to meet with like-minded individuals from across the FOBISIA community. Logic, puzzle strategy, data handling, applica-tions of Mathematics and many other disciplines were thoroughly examined

as well as the all-important team working skills. All students left the competitions feeling challenged and rewarded, with the Primary students eagerly anticipating the opportunity to compete in the Secondary challenge in the com-ing years. Well done to all of the competitors.

PRIMARY MATHS FOBISIA COMPETITION On Thursday 10th March, the Primary FOBISIA Maths Team set off to Suvarnabhumi Airport. It took us 3 hours to arrive at the Guangzhou Air-port. The British School of Guangzhou greeted us at the Airport Departure. There were also other schools from Bangkok, including Regents Bangkok, Shrewsbury, Bangkok Patana and Harrow. We took a bus to Unkai Hotel where we would be staying at for 3 nights. After we went to our rooms to unpack and refresh ourselves, we went downstairs and had a delicious buffet din-ner. The next day, we woke up nice and early to get ready to go to the British School of Guangzhou for the competition. We ate breakfast at the hotel, and then got on the bus to the British School of Guangzhou which was only 10 minutes away.

Our first activity was a friendly, non-competitive event. We had to work out how to guess the correct colour of the hat without communicating or signalling with words except for black, or white. After that we did the Einstein riddle, which involved quick logic thinking within 15 minutes. Later, we had a quick break, ready to the next round of 10 questions in one hour. It was a series of quick mind blowing, head-boggling, questions. Next was a very stressful task, we had to square numbers under 100 but larger than 10 mentally. We were not allowed to do any Jottings or write anything down! Under time pressure of only two minutes! After that we did the relay maths challenge, this one was challenging because we had to keep track of the time, and solve all the questions in limited time! In the middle we had a round of four pictures one word, which we successfully came in third place out of all the schools! Then followed by another round of relay. Finally to end the day, a quick barbeque then we had a special trip on board a cruise along the river pearl. The weather was magnificent! On board we got to see some of Guangzhou's famous landmarks such as Canton Tower! Day 2 was challenging, once we reached the school we started our next challenge, the navigation race, we had to read bearings and find the next place in the school where we would find the next clue. At the end we would put all the numbers together to find the final phone number! The individual challenge. Where we were competing against over 120 children from all across Asia! We each completed 30 questions within an hour! Afterwards, we had the carousel activity. Where we had to run around the room completing questions after questions! The hardest part was having to complete every question before moving on to the next one! Finally we had the marble run- which was a construction activity. The challenge was to make a run for the marble. This task was really challenging! At the end we all went back to get ready to join the final gala dinner, where there was a magician, and the prize giving ceremony! On the final day we left to the airport to depart back to Bangkok!Thank you to Mr Callow and Ms Nam for coming along to help and support us during the past few days, it was an amazing experience for all of us! By Pyncha, with the support of Joy, Jiyoon and Rishabh (Year 6 students) from Bangkok International Preparatory & Secondary School (Bangkok Prep)

FOBISIA PRIMARY MATHS CHALLENGE, 11-12 MARCH 2016 by Bangkok Patana School

Every day, Aimee goes up an escalator on her journey to work. If she stands still, it takes her 60 seconds to travel from the bottom to the top. One day the escalator was broken so she had to walk up it. This took her 90 seconds. How many seconds would it take her to travel up the escalator if she walked up at the same speed as before, while it was working? This was one of the very first challenges Dol Manoleehakul, Toh Pungapong, Chris Kim and Arnav Baliga faced at the FOBISIA Maths Challenge 2016. Selected from Year 6, the four children travelled to The British School, Guangzhou to compete against 30 other schools in

both individual and group challenges. It was a fantastic weekend where they busily shared their enjoyment of maths with other students from all over Asia. They en-joyed being interviewed on the final day and their experiences were shared during the final presenta-tion. What was the favourite aspect of Maths Fobisia? Arnav: That we got to meet other mathematicians and learn new ways of solving hard problems. Chris: The best aspect was that we got to share ide-as with other mathematicians so we could see how other people think and we got to do something that we wouldn’t do normally in class. What was your favourite maths question which stretched your brain? How did you find the solu-tion? Toh: The problems that stretched my brain the most was the team building challenge, since we had to find a way on how to make the marble run and also share out the equipment equally so we didn’t have anybody sitting around not doing anything. Dol: The mental math where you had to square numbers. I found the solution by using the tactic they gave us. What advice would you give to the next FOBISIA students? Chris: the advice I would give to the next FOBISIA students will be careful when you do the team task do not panic when something goes wrong and think of a solution.

After two terms of the GIS Maths Dragons CCA, a team of four very excited year 6 girls left sunny Malaysia and headed over to Guang-zhou, China for the FOBISIA maths competition. The team took part in a number of different events including mental maths, investigation, construction, logic and orienteering. Team GIS worked extremely hard at all the challenges and were a credit to the school. Out of over thirty strong teams competing in the event, we managed to finish 3rd! In addition to this, Gauri managed to get 1st place in the individual award. GIS are very proud of the team and their achievements, especially because the girls really enjoyed them-

selves and had a fun time. There were lots of laughs and jokes along the way, which really shows that although academic ability is im-portant, it is equally important to have a friendly and fun team who can work well together.

elc INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL HOSTS FOBISIA SECONDARY MATHEMATICS COMPETITION

On February 25th to 28th 2016, elc International School was given the opportunity to host the FOBISIA Secondary Mathematics Competition and welcomed 200 students from 24 international schools spread across 8 countries. The first evening was spent getting to know each other a little better during a Welcome Dinner. This was followed by some Ice Breaker Activities to help the children relax, get to know one another better and have some fun before the start of the competition. The ice-breaker ac-tivities were a great success with all the schools partici-pating enthusiastically and lots of laughter. Day 1 was scheduled to have 4 competitive rounds and 1 fun round, all of which took place within the grounds of the hotel. The most anticipated round for the day was the Maths Trail. There was not a single corner spared

within the grounds of the hotel as students searched for their clues and the hotel grounds were awash with the different colours of all the schools. The FOBISIA schools certainly added a little zing to the hotel life, but all the students did their schools and teachers proud by being appropriate in their behaviour at all times. Day 1 was not over just yet, because once the competitive rounds were done, it was time to get ready for dinner and then board the buses for a trip to Kuala Lumpur to see a little of the nightlife. The highlight of the trip was the KL Tower which stands at 421 metres tall. On average its takes 54 seconds to make the 276 metre journey up to the Observation Platform and from there the FOBISIA schools got a 360° view of Kuala Lumpur at night. The teams also got the chance to see the KLCC Towers as well as have their pictures taken at Independence Square. Day 2 started with some very tired students, but it was not long before their competitive edge kicked in and the tiredness disappeared. It was hard to decide, based on the verbal feedback from the students, which of the 4 rounds from Day 2 were most popular. All the students talked about the fun they were having and the challenges they were enjoying in the different rounds. The final round, Construction, saw the FOBISIA teams building bridges out of plastic straws…which really brought their engineering skills to the fore. Finally, on the evening of the second day, we ended the event with a Closing Ceremony Dinner. This involved the awards, a show by the illusionist Vincent and some dancing. The evening was a great success bringing the whole competition to a happy end. Many new friendships were formed, with many schools hoping to meet again at the next FOBISIA Secondary Mathematics Competition. Thank you to all the schools for their excellent participation and of course, congratulations to all the winners. A special well-done to the top three schools – Dulwich College Seoul, The Alice Smith School Malaysia and Dulwich College Beijing. Until the next challenge….take care and keep practicing those mathematical skills!

SECONDARY MATHS FOBISIA COMPETITION On Thursday 25th February, two Bangkok Prep Secondary Mathe-matics Teams trav-elled to Kuala Lum-pur to participate in the annual FOBISIA Mathematics Com-petition. This year's competition was hosted by ELC In-ternational School and was attended by over 20 schools, each sending two or three teams. Our school was repre-sented by Ohm, Khing, Pooh and Brin (all Year 7) and Teddy, Jeannie, Ayumu and Pim (all Year 8) and were accompanied by Mr Hills and Miss Rugg.

Both our teams gave a great account of themselves, showing excellent team work and individual apti-tude. Unfortunately we didn't make the Top Three for any of the events but all stu-dents can be proud of their performances and by the manner in which they represent-ed their school.

FOBISIA PRIMARY GROUP B2 GAMES 2015 By British School Kuala Lumpur

The performances and efforts displayed by all six teams at the Primary FOBISIA Group B2 Games 2015 demon-strated the true spirit of the ‘Friendly Games’. There were some unbelievable performances, games were won and lost, but more importantly 250 students from across Asia came together and made new friendships.

Competing in extremely hot conditions throughout the three days, no squad exemplified the spirit of the Games better than the 41 young BSKL Lions, and their efforts were rewarded with many gold medals in all events. We were the most successful team at the event, making it a very memorable first FOBISIA Games indeed.

Results:

Primary FOBISIA Athletics 1st

Primary FOBISIA Swimming 1st

Primary FOBISIA U11 Girls Football 1st

Primary FOBISIA U11 Boys Football 3rd

Primary FOBISIA U10 Boys Football 1st

KELLETT SCHOOL’S KOWLOON BAY HOSTS U13 FOBISIA GAMES

From 15-18 March, Kellett School’s Kowloon Bay campus played host to the U13 FOBISIA Games, a sports tour ment that saw Year 7 students compete in Athletics, Swimming, Basketball and Football during three days. As hosts, Kellett School welcomed five other British schools from around Asia to Hong Kong. British International School, Ho Chi Minh City; British School, Jakarta; Dulwich College, Beijing; Nord Anglia International School Shanghai, Pudong and Taipei European School, all arrived with eager anticipation and excitement for the days to follow.

Day 1 of the competition saw teams competing in swim-ming and athletics. Though the weather was colder than hoped for, it did not dampen the competitive spirits of the athletes. Day 2 of the event featured the Boys’ basketball and Girls’ football competitions. There were some fantastic perfor-mances on show, and some nail-biting matches that kept spectators on the edge of their seats. The final day of competition saw a reversal of the previous day, with the Girls competing in basketball, and the Boys competing in football. The athletes continued to give their all, and showcased not only great sporting ability, but also a high level of sportsmanship, fair play and respect to-wards their opponents. Congratulations to all those who took part in the games, athletes and coaches alike, as well as those who assisted in the hosting of the event and the sponsors. Many thanks to Sodexo for the support, to all the parent volunteers and of course to all the wonderful spectators who came along and supported all the teams.

BSKL EXCEL AT FOBISIA IN BANGKOK

Our first ever U13 FOBISIA team had the opportunity to compete with schools from around the world but also make many new friends. Everyone put their maximum effort in all events and the results were exceptional - placing for five out of six sporting events: 1st in both athletics and boys football, 2nd in girls football, and 3rd in swimming and girls basketball. We started the FOBISIA games with a great result from our swimming team who took 3rd place. In athletics, our 4x100m relay teams came 1st in three out of the four relays and 2nd in the other - gaining us overall 1st place. The boys football and girls basketball competitions took place the next day. Despite the blistering heat, the boys played their best and were the overall champions. Meanwhile, the girls dribbled their way to a 3rd place finish. On the last day, the boys had a turn in basketball while the girls played football. The boys were up against tough teams and lost four matches but won one. The Girls Football team saw more success winning two games, drawing two and losing one, tieing in 2nd place with the British School of Beijing. To end FOBISIA, we attended the gala dinner with students from the schools and discoed our way through the night with new friends.

AMAZING RESULTS FOR BANGKOK PREP IN THE U13 FOBISIA GAMES

On Thursday 10th March, our U13 FOBISIA team travelled to St. Andrews Rayong, to participate in this year’s FOBISIA tournament. Bangkok Prep opened the event with an amazing victorious win of first place in the swimming. Each participant swam with confidence and with a vision to win a medal. In the afternoon of day one we travelled to the athletics stadium. Our students demonstrated hard work, commitment and excellent team effort. Day two our boys headed to the basketball courts and the girls to the Football pitch. Muscles were starting to ache and tiredness was creeping in; but that did not stop us from another day of winning trophies. Our girls collected the 3rd place football trophy and the boys 2nd place in basketball. Day three: the final day. Each Bangkok Prep athlete finished the tournament with energy and enthusiasm. Our U13 Boys football team collected the 1st place trophy before the final whistle. The PE department would like to thank all parents who travelled down to show support to the teams. We appreci-ated your assistance with all the events. Finally, thanks go you to the students. The PE department are very proud of your dedication, energy and team work. You did the school proud and most importantly you did yourselves proud! Eimear O’Higgins Head of Year 7 and Secondary PE Teacher, Bangkok Prep

GROUP A1 U13 GAMES HOSTED BY DULWICH COLLEGE SHANGHAI

March 9th —12th, 2016 saw Dulwich College Shanghai hosted what was to be the first and subsequently last A1 division FOBISIA games in mainland China as schools will be re-grouped next year.

Despite their obvious surprise at the sunny but brisk 8 degree temperature, the travelling schools adapted well to the climate with Alice Smith Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok Patana laying claim to the boys and girls football trophies. On the second day the competition heated up, even though the actual weather did not, with Dulwich taking out the boys basketball and Alice Smith again coming out strong claim-ing the girls basketball title. The final day saw fierce competition on the track and in the pool where Tanglin Trust Singapore and Alice Smith came out on top in the respec-tive competitions. I would like to thank again all the coaches and athletes; there was a fantastic atmosphere across the three days of competition where all involved truly embodied and reflected the spirit of “the friendly games." By Jamie Gerrard, Deputy Director of Sport, Dulwich College Shanghai

BIS PHUKET HOSTS 17 INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS AT FOBISIA SWIM MEET

The second edition of this annual three day event saw more than 500 student swimmers – aged from 8 to 17 years-old – compete for honours in the Olympic-size 50m pool at British International School, Phuket (BISP). The swimmers came from 17 schools in 5 different countries, including British Inter-national School Shanghai, Dulwich College Seoul, Bangkok Patana, British School Ma-nilla, Uplands in Penang, British Interna-tional School Kuala Lumpur, Nord Anglia International School Shanghai, and Regents International School Pattaya. Reflecting on the event, BISP Headmaster

Neil Richards said, “The competition was a fantastic advert for the quality of swim programmes in international schools throughout the region, and to see so many swimmers from BISP competing so well and with such sportsmanship was a particular pleasure.” Tournament Director Jeff LaMantia added that, “I’m proud of our swimmers, coaches, volunteers, parents and everyone from our BISP community that made this such a great event”. Our BISP swimmers did very well in the pool, setting many personal bests and

as a team improving on last year’s achievements in Bangkok. “With more than 100 competitors alone, out of a total of 530 swimmers taking part – the success of BISP just goes to show the strength in depth of our swim programme.” Richard Thorp, Head Coach of the visiting Tiger Sharks from Bangkok Pat-ana school, who took the overall title, said “This is the second year of the competition, and it’s been very, very well run by BISP. “The weather’s been awesome, the competition’s been fantastic, with a great pool and great facilities. Good luck to [the BISP swimmers] com-peting at the Olympics in Rio.” For more information about the BISP Flying Fish swim programme, visit bisphuket.ac.th/bisp-flying-fish or contact Helen Sweeney: hsweeney@bisphuket.ac.th

FOBISIA SWIM MEET IN PHUKET

It is my pleasure to inform the whole school community of the success that our Swim Team achieved this past weekend in Phuket. We certainly punched above our weight and came 4th out of 17 schools for the whole event. There were some genuine heroic efforts by our swimmers who competed against high quality opposition and almost every swimmer recorded a personal best. It’s almost remiss to mention a few standout results as every swimmer performed exceptionally; however, the follow-ing swimmers were recognised for individual achievements: Jee Won (Jenny; Year 5) – 2nd overall champion for U9 Girls Angelina (Year 7) – overall champion for U11 Girls Won Young (Julie; Year 7) – 3rd place champion for 12 year old girls Nisha (Year 8) – 2nd place champion for 12 year old girls Bangkok Prep – 11 year old girls and boys combined team champions Please acknowledge all of our Bangkok Prep Bulldogs if you see them around school as you would have all been proud of them. There was some real spine tingling moments as our guys never gave up. Many of the other school's officials commented on the quality of Bangkok Prep considering the squad size. Please also thank the coaches – Mr Matt Montgomery, Mr Kierain McRoberts, Ms Hannah Manfield and Mr Brad Owen. It was a gruelling 62 hour shift over 4 days preparing and encouraging our Bangkok Prep Bulldogs. Contributed by: Matthew Ferrier, Head of Aquatics, Bangkok Prep

2ND FOBISIA SAILING HOSTED BY REGENTS PATTAYA

Regents International School Pattaya hosted the second FOBISIA Sailing Championship held at the Royal Varuna Yacht Club in Jomtien, Thailand from March 10-12, 2016. All three days were blessed with fresh breezes which made for some thrills and spills but also provided the opportunity for all sailors to showcase their seamanship and boat handling skills.

This was particularly evident in the Optimist fleet racing where the strong winds provided a real challenge for all competitors. There was some very close racing indeed with the results being evenly shared between a number of sail-ors, but in the end the finishing order was Aim Lisahapanya (Bangkok Patana) first, Sasha Romanyk (Bangkok Prep) second and Peter Pakdeejit (Bangkok Pat-ana) third. The Quba team racing was also very exciting with quite a few capsizes espe-cially on the finals day, where Bangkok Prep and Bangkok Patana fought out a tough battle for first and second place, with Bangkok Prep eventually prevail-ing. In the round robin to determine third place between Regents Pattaya, Harrow Bangkok and Shrewsbury, racing was very tight indeed with Regents and Harrow finishing equal on points, Harrow being declared third after a count back. At the very enjoyable prize giving, Club Commodore Mr. Tom Whitcraft com-mented that a most pleasing aspect of this year’s regatta was the noticeable improvement in the overall standard of sailing resulting in some very competi-tive racing and a highly enjoyable three days. Well done to all sailors and we hope to see you all back again next year! By: David Williams, Head of Outdoor Education and International Award Coor-

dinator Regents International School Pattaya

SHREWSBURY CHARITY WEEK

The first week of February brought the return of Charities week, with a variety of fundraising activities taking place

across the school to support the work of the School’s charity partners. A number of year groups took part in their own

sponsored challenges; some testing, some fun, but all for a good cause.

There were lemonade and cake sales in Early Years, a sponsored space hopper bounce in Y1, a “wear it backwards” day

in Y5, a sponsored silence in Y6 (extremely popular with the teachers!) and a “name that tune” challenge for Y8. Y10

students took to the pool to make their contribution to Charities Week, forming teams to collectively swim a distance

equivalent to the width of the Gulf of Thailand (62.6km) in a single PE lesson.

The competition pool has perhaps never been quite so busy, with the whole year group churning out the 2,507 lengths

in super quick time.

As ever, the week’s main event was the Charity fair, which took place over two separate afternoons. In bright sun-

shine, students, teachers and parents both provided and enjoyed a variety of fairground games, yummy treats, and

music in a characteristic and energetic display of enterprise, generosity and talent.

Shrewsbury’s fantastic Chinese New Year celebrations provided the platform one final fundraiser, with families handing

in cash donations in lucky red Chinese envelopes; money that we know will help to deliver some very worthwhile

projects (and hope to bring a lot of luck) for Sister Louise, The Hub and Mercy Centre.

Whilst sponsorship money from the week’s activities is yet to be counted, we are pleased to announce that the Fair

alone had raised an amazing 282,700 Baht, smashing the original target of 250,000 Baht.

H I S M U N R E P O R T

Over the weekend, Shrewsbury International School students attended a two-day Model United Nations conference at Harrow International School. We brought a delegation of 22 to the inaugural ‘HISMUN’ conference, spending the first day in regular, formal debate and the second day in a General Assembly where all 300 participants took part in a simulation of an emergency UNGA session.

This time the attendees had at least one or two conferences under their belts which, as reported by the Secretary-General at Harrow, greatly improved the quality of debate. Our delegates spoke well and often while furiously lobby-ing their cases during unmoderated caucus, then steadfastly defending the resolutions they had so carefully crafted from the scrutiny of more sceptical participants. Out of the eight committees, four ‘Best Delegate’ awards were achieved by Shrewsbury students in the Environmen-tal Committee, Human Rights Council, Security Council and Special Political & Decolonisation Committee. The lobby-ing time of the second day was a much more hectic affair, with all delegates furiously scrambling around the massive hall attempting to garner support for their cause during debate on the emergency issue of the political fallout after a catastrophic eruption from Yellowstone National Park, USA. In the General Assembly new nations were forged from the fire of debate, including the massive superstate Europa, the religiously-oriented Islamic Caliphate and continent-wide trade confederation United Africa. Overall, our delegates say they had a good experience that was much more smoothly-run than the previous confer-ence and we all left with smiles after an exhausting, rewarding two days at HISMUN.
