ATTENTION: CHANGE IN PROCEDUREDear Parents:

Every year we have to deal with the administrative burden of trying to collect from parents the $1000 Re-enrollmenDeposit. This is difficult for many parents, especially those whose fees are paid by the sponsoring company, and more

difficult still for the school trying to collect from parents, especially those who are not sure of their circumstances.

This year we shall try something different. There will be no re-enrollment deposit. Instead, we shall expect adeparting families to complete the WITHDRAWAL NOTIFICATION FORM on or before May 15 th. Failure to dso will lead to a deduction of $1,000.00 from the Facilities Upgrade Deposit.

As I am sure you understand, we at school face considerable pressure from families applying to enter their children intISM. We have to establish the May 15th deadline in order for us to be fair to those families on our waitlist. The earlier yocan tell us that you are leaving school, the sooner we can provide clear answers to in-coming families.

Sincerely Yours,David TozeSuperintendent

From the Board of Trustees:

Dear Parents:

First of all, we would like to thank you for your continuing support of International School Manila, Inc. (th ‘Corporation’). The Corporation is a non-stock, non-profit membership organization whose business, property, and affairare managed by a Board of Trustees consisting of ten (10) Members.

Our By-laws give you a central role in the governance of the Corporation, with five of the ten Board seats beinallocated to Associate Members. This year, there will be two (2) vacancies from the rank of Associate Membership. Wit

this in mind, we seek your nominations for these posts, which must be submitted to the Corporate Secretary (at RoomP089, Administration Office, ISM Campus) on or before 08 April 2010.

All Associate Member candidates, who are members in good standing, will be interviewed by the Committee oTrustees, and those whose skill-sets and profiles best meet the needs of the School will be endorsed to the community foelection.

Voting may be done in advance of, or at, the Annual General Meeting (AGM). From 11 May to 19 May 2010, ballot box will be established in the administrative office area near the Corporate Secretary’s office for those who wish tovote in advance of the AGM. Proxy Forms which you submitted at the beginning of this year (enclosed in your EnrollmenPacket) will be used solely for attendance purposes and to determine presence of quorum at the AGM, and cannot be useto vote.

The AGM will be held on 20 May 2010 in the Fine Arts Theater, and members of the community who have novoted should cast their ballots at that meeting. Results will be announced as soon as the assigned auditing firm haconcluded the count.

Prospective candidates for the Board should read the attached nomination and election procedure and guidelines ifull. The nomination and election procedure and guidelines may also be viewed at the ISM website (www.ismanila.org).

THE COMMITTEE ON TRUSTEESBoard of Trustees

INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL MANILA, INC. Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Members

20 May 2010

NOMINATION / ELECTION GUIDELINESFor Associate Member Candidates

1. Our By-laws have clarified the function of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and the relationship it enjoys with the SuperintendenEssentially, the responsibility of the Board is to ensure that the School remains true to its Vision, Mission and Core Beliefs, that thCorporation’s financial and accounting reporting systems are appropriately managed and audited and that the Corporation is legalsecure. The Board hires (and evaluates) a Superintendent who is responsible for all day-to-day decisions in the School.

2. It follows from this that we are hoping to find Trustees who understand that their work will be focused on policy and strategy as weas financial scrutiny rather than any involvement in the operations of the School. We shall certainly be looking for Trustees with professional background in financial matters, but also for those with significant leadership experience in managementadministration, education, diplomacy and law. Clearly it would be advantageous for candidates to have worked on boards before anwho thus understand the role of the Trustee in big-picture thinking.

3. In a bird’s eye view, our By-laws require that the Board shall consist of ten (10) Members of the Corporation, five (5) of whom shabe elected from the rank of the Sustaining and Honorary Members and five (5) of whom shall be elected from the rank of th

Associate Members. Following our By-laws, two (2) Sustaining or Honorary Member Trustees and another two (2) Associate MembeTrustees shall retire by the end of the third year of its application (i.e. SY 2009-2010). Thus, at the 20 May 2010 Annual GeneraMeeting (AGM), the Members shall elect two (2) Trustees out of the nominees from the rank of the Associate Membership.

4. All candidates must, of course, be Members of good standing in the Corporation – that is, in the case of Associate Members, bcurrent in terms of fee payments. There are, as well, certain criteria established in the Corporation Code that could conceivablexclude candidates from standing (please refer to Section 3, Article 3 of the By-laws). Associate Member Candidates will, by thesignature on this document, declare that (a) they are Members in good standing of the Corporation and (b) individuals who are noin breach of criteria established in the Corporation Code.

5. Candidates from the rank of Associate Members must submit their certificates of candidacy to the Committee on Trustees (th “Committee”), through the Corporate Secretary’s office at P089, Administration Office, ISM Campus, by 08 April 2010 whicconsist of the following:

a) Resume – with appropriate bio data and covering personal and professional background; and

b) Letter of Intent indicating that the candidate is an Associate Member and outlining the individual’s qualities and skills that will brelevant to the ISM Board of Trustees.

6. From 09 April 2010 up to 23 April 2010 , each candidate shall engage in a dialogue with the Board’s Committee on Trusteewhose task is to review and recommend candidates coming from the rank of Associate Members who meet the foregoing criteriaand whose portfolios of skills are best equipped to fill vacancies in the Board.

7. The Committee will recommend candidates to the current Board of Trustees, no later than 27 April 2010. The Board will convey thendorsement to the community at large, in advance of the election.

8. Those candidates who do not receive the endorsement of the Committee may choose to withdraw from the election and should dso, in writing, to the Corporate Secretary on or before 27 April 2010. Candidates who do not receive the endorsement but still wisto stand for election will be included in the Final List of Candidates that will be published on 06 May 2010 to the community.

9. To guide the community in their choice, the Committee will also send out the resumes and letters of intent of all candidates, apreviously submitted. This is the only campaign information that will be made publicly available.

10. Candidates must undertake not to publish, or otherwise disseminate or encourage or allow others to publish on their behalf, anadditional information that may encourage community members to vote in a particular way. It is not in the interest of the School –or the candidates - for there to be electioneering of any kind. It is not possible for the School to filter out anonymous text messageor e mails or blog sites, but we would hope that the community-at-large will understand that those people who engage in sucactivities are behaving contrary to the best interests of the School.

11. On 11 May 2010 , a seven (7) working day period for the early casting of votes will begin. This replaces the proxy system and designed to encourage maximum participation by the community. Ballot boxes will be located in the Administration Office.

12. On 20 May 2010, the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Members will be held at which reports from the Board and Superintendenwill be presented. This will also be an opportunity for all Members who have not yet cast their votes to select Trustees for the newBoard. Results of the election will be announced on that same evening.
