Season IASAS:
HUGE congratulations to our varsity boys’ tennis team who defended their IASAS GOLD medal at Bangkok. Thisis an outstanding result from athletes and coaches to win GOLD two years in a row.Our touch team also made it into the gold medal playoff game against SAS and in a very tight game lost in a heartbreaker with seconds to spare on the clock. The girls played outstanding touch all three days and to bring homesilver in such a narrowly contested final was no doubt a little disappointing but they should feel very proud of their efforts to win silver two years in a row.Boys rugby lost another heartbreaker game in the bronze medal playoff match. They let TAS get a big lead in thefirst half but pegged them back and tied the game with seconds to spare, sending the game into overtime.Unfortunately TAS came out the victors scoring first in the extra time period.Girls and Boys Basketball both placed 4
th
in Taipei however both teams played some great matches in thetournament and pushed all other teams they played to tight games.Girls tennis has some solid results and were in the running on Friday to finish in 2
nd
place but ended up 5

but we had over 80% of our swimmers post personal best times which shows a greatimprovement at the meet and demonstrates the hard work that has been occurring in the swimming pool duringtraining sessions.All 3

From the MODERN LANGUAGE DEPT:Summer Language Study / Home-stay / Travel Program to SPAIN
The ISM High School Modern Language Department is pleased to announce its Summer Language Study / Home-stay / TravelProgram to Spain from June 6
th
to July 4
th
2009 for students aged 13 to 19 years old.The program aims to develop students’ language proficiency and to broaden his/her cultural knowledge. This program is beingoffered in cooperation with Escuela Internacional Madrid (TANDEM), a school in Madrid and San Sebastian, Spain. Students willcontinue learning and, more importantly, will practice Spanish through total immersion in the classes and during the home-stay. The school finds families for students to stay with, assists in locating appropriate local resources for the group’sactivities, plans outings, maintains a list of local medical and emergency resources, and helps with the orientation for groupleaders.The language course proposal is to have 4 class sessions (45 minutes each) of language and culture from Monday to Friday,from 09.30 to 13.00 each day (with a break from 11.00 to 11.30). The classes will include language and culture subjects aswell as adequate preparation for the cultural visits. Students will complete a placement test in order for the school to formgroups based on the level of Spanish.Last year, 15 students from ISM traveled to Spain and all of them reported dramatic improvements in their acquisition of theSpanish language as well as outstanding experiences with their home-stay families and one another during their time in Spain.If you are interested in receiving more information about this summer course, please contact Laurie Atilano or Samantha Ramos inthe High School Office, or email Adriana Vargas at vargasa@ismanila.org.
