There has been some publicity that some schools will be closed on Monday 24^th September as part of the national celebration of the recent success of the Malaysian team at the SEA Games. Because our school has just finished a long holiday break, we will remain open on Monday. Therefore all students are expected to be in school as usual on this day.

This will take place in the last two weeks of the school holidays. Parents and siblings will be permitted to accompany students on the trip.

FOBBISEA Games: May 2002

Kinabalu International School will be hosting the primary schools FOBBISEA Games in May 2002. There will be some 360 pupils coming from international schools in Nepal, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Korea, Brunei, Philipines and Japan.  

The Games will last for 5 days / 4 nights, and will include athletics, swimming and football competitions as well as trips to various locations around Kota Kinabalu. This is a tremendous opportunity for our pupils to meet and participate alongside so many other children from other schools.

It is also a wonderful opportunity for our school to promote itself amongst the local and international community. We are seeking sponsorship support in the form of donations of money to meet the cost of the games, as well as drinks, t-shirts, caps, bags and the like that we can give to all the participating pupils. If anyone or any company is able to assist the school in securing these, please let me know.
