How to Sign up to ASAs, Learn 2 Swim, and IPAA Activities

Please note the following:

Sign-up will be open from 7:00 AM on December 14th to 1:00PM on December 22nd

Prior to sign up we ask you to remember to read the descriptions carefully for advanced preparation and for any payment requirements (if any).

If you need any support with the system, please contact our IT helpdesk at helpdesk@ishcmc.edu.vn.

Important Note About Our Sign-up System – to ensure our sign-up policy is as fair as possible the sign-up system is divided into two phases. This includes the following:

Phase 1:

Sign up will first be based on a Preference-Based Booking System based on child's top three preferences (Between 14th at 7:00 AM to the 19th of December at 11:00 AM)

The system will then automatically distribute and assign slots to sign ups made in a fair manner

If you do not receive any confirmation, your child would not have been allocated a place in that activity

Phase 2

Following this allocation an Immediate Booking Mode (first come first serve) (Between the 19th at 1:00 PM to the 22nd of December at 1:00 PM) will be made available for the remaining places.

ASA Overview

As an overview, our ASA program offered at ISHCMC is a non-competitive inclusive program. Following the school calendar, the program is divided into four terms with a variety of activities offered in each term.

For students’ safety, we ask parents to follow the following protocols:

Kindly be informed that ASAs will start from 3:15 to 4:00 (or 4:15 pm for Football and Cooking class). Please pick up your child(ren) at the Cafeteria area when ASAs finish. We prefer not to let them wait for you at the gate.
