Week 17 Dec 2-6, 2024

This past week ISM lost a coach from our community. Coach Ays Hufanda had been our varsity girls basketball assistant coach and worked in our activities program. Coach Ays sadly lost her life after a short illness. We send our deepest condolences to her family and to all ISM staff who knew Coach Ays. This was a young and vibrant athlete/coach taken far too soon! At last Tuesday's girls basketball game two of the girls team leaders/seniors Eva and Tessa spoke beautifully about Coach Ays before teams observed a short moment of silence to pay their respect to Coach Ays and her contribution to ISM Varsity Girls Basketball. RIP Coach Ays! 


This past weekend we hosted the local league basketball/tennis/rugby at ISM and our touch team traveled to Faith for a their local league competition. Keep track of all results on the results tab of the ATAC game schedule document via the parent portal

On campus this coming Saturday Dec 7 we are hosting Tennis/Touch/Basketball and a selection of our Rugby teams will travel away to play at Faith. This will be the last round of matches before the vacation. Check the game schedule via the parent portal for details.

Our HS varsity basketball teams travel to SAS this weekend for their homecoming tournament invitational. This is a 4 team event with matches vs SAS, ISKL and JIS on offer to help prepare for IASAS basketball to be held at ISKL in January. Good luck to both teams and the coaching staff attending.
