2011 - 2012 MRISA NEWS / After School Activities Information (ASA)
Participation in sport is an integral part of the overall program at ISE. All our students should be involved in some athletic endeavor in addition to their classes, clubs and activities. In addition to the middle and high school students, the ESAC program includes students in the elementary school. Student participation in sport at ISE has increased significantly in recent years, with many of our students playing on teams that represented our school, both locally and internationally. Each of our seasons culminates with participating in MRISA tournaments with schools from Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. Irrespective of score lines or outcomes, participating in sports can, in itself, be reward enough. Here at ISE, we encourage each of our students to develop her/his character and personality by demonstrating qualities such as stamina, commitment, determination and a sense of fair play. These virtues can then be applied to other aspects of life away from the sporting areas and help make them responsible global citizens.
The Mekong River International Schools Association (MRISA) was formed in 1998, and ISE joined in 2001. MRISA governs sports tournaments, cultural and leadership exchanges held between its member schools. A MRISA Cultural Exchange takes place once a year and alternates between member schools. Each cultural exchange has a specific theme which provides the focus for the workshops and performances presented. The MRISA Leadership Summit is in its third year and brings together student leaders from the eight schools. The weekend is dedicated to developing leadership skills through workshops and a community service project. MRISA is sponsoring a Model United Nations program that is hosting in Hanoi. The assembly will have the students from the eight schools role play United Nations delegates while proposing and debating resolutions based on each year's theme. 2011-2012 MRISA Events Calendar MRISA Cap Meeting @ UNIS September 9-10, 2011 MRISA Sports News The ESAC / MRISA sports season is already underway at ISE as our High School volleyball players and Middle School basketball players sign up for practice which starts in the second week of school.

We will keep you updated with our preparations and on the progress of each team as they practice and train for their MRISA tournaments. You can follow the sports news from ISE through regular features in the ISE Express and on the ISE website. 2010 - 2011 MRISA News and Events Archives MRISA Senior Football at ISEA Festival of Football, Sportsmanship and Friendship February 10-13, 2001 saw MRISA sport return to ISE after a 2 year break. All eight MRISA schools were represented as 160 high school footballers from 37 different countries played 40 matches throughout the course of the tournament. It proved to be magical weekend that provided unforgettable memories the players, fans, coaches, organizers, officials, parents and host families alike. The ISE teams were lead by two wonderful captains from our Seniors; Andreia and Tilmann. Here’s what they had to say about it all: “For a school that had never hosted a Soccer MRISA before, ISE couldn’t have done it any better. From the parade of the schools in the beginning to the Awards Party on the last night, ISE was always at its best and the students’ smiles and excitement most certainly proved that. The three stadiums had ongoing games through the two days. The grounds were filled with parents, teachers, and students who supported both the home teams and the others. Throughout the two days there were some intense moments, moments of victory and unavoidably moments of failure. However, with the spirit that was created on the field and outside too, no one left a loser. Every student that participated returned back home with new friends, new accomplishments and unforgettable memories which made them all champions!” Andreia Kristensen (Girls Team Captain) Tilmann Kaiser (Boys Team Captain) Here is how the action unfolded for the ISE teams: Friday: ISE Boys top Group B Saturday: Boys finish Cup Runners Up, Girls win the Plate The boys semi-final between hosts ISE and defending champions ISPP became the game of the tournament, as an end to end match left the teams locked on 1-1 after golden goal extra time. And who will ever forget the penalty drama as 3 amazing saves from ISE keeper Alec and 3 goals from 5 attempts (Tilmann, Kengo and goalkeeper Alec) gave Marcelo the chance to strike the winning sudden death penalty. The final brought an ISE vs. UNIS rematch. The ISE boys fought hard, but without the injured Ta found this one game too many and so lost 2-0 to the deserving champions UNIS, Hanoi. The ISE boys team should be proud of their achievement in giving the host school fans so much enjoyment and excitement throughout the weekend. In true MRISA spirit, three ISE girls joined the HIS team, whilst four more ISE girls combined with ISPP and ISHCMC girls to form the MRISA United Girls team. This was the first MRISA this idea had been tried and what a success it was as the girls became truly united throughout the tournament to deservedly win the girls sportsmanship award. The boys award went to ISPP for their dignity in defeat after 2 agonizing penalty shoot out losses. For the Record: Boys Tournament: Girls Tournament:
