⏰ Morning Arrival & Registration

All students will register in their classrooms at the regular time.


Year 3 and Above

From 7:30am, students in Year 3 to Year 13 will be released to enjoy the events of the day.


This includes:

  • Joining the Parade of Nations (if they wish)

  • Watching or performing in the scheduled performances

  • Visiting the cultural stalls and displays (remember to bring some money)


Students in these year groups will be under general staff supervision throughout the event.


⚠️ If you would prefer your child to remain under direct supervision of school staff for the morning, please complete the form below (Yr3 to Yr6).





ℹ️ Please note:

  • If this option is selected, your child will not be able to participate in the Parade of Nations, as direct supervision cannot be maintained during the parade.

  • Unless the form is completed, all students in Year 3–13 will be released to enjoy the events from 7:30am.



Pre-Kindy to Year 2

Parents have two options (using the same form above):


1️⃣ Collect your child at 7:30am and sign them out to join you for the event.

  • Once signed out, students cannot be signed back in, as we must maintain correct ratios.

  • Only an adult may sign out a child (not an older sibling or Secondary student). Sign-out sheets will be in each classroom.


2️⃣ Remain under direct supervision of school staff.

  • This is the default option for any family not completing the form.

  • These students will be escorted in small groups to experience the stalls and performances.

  • For safety reasons, they will not join the Parade of Nations but they will watch it go past.



Parade of Nations 🇧🇳🌏

All students and families joining the parade should gather in the ISB Theatre before 8:00am.

Participants will be grouped by country before parading through the campus and finishing at the Piano Steps, where we’ll enjoy a song and the waving of all flags.
