FOBISSEA Games

FOBISSEA Games are a highlight of the sporting calendar for member schools as it serves as an opportunity to compete at the highest levels against schools across Asia. However, the Games are far more than a collection of sports. In today's society of increasing internationalisation and truly cosmopolitan students, the Games represents an ideal opportunity to further break down borders and to foster new friendships.

Press Release  

British School Manila hosts FOBISSEA Primary Games

Some 216 students from six British international schools in five Southeast Asian countries will be competing across the region, when the British School Manila hosts the 2008 Federation of British Schools in Southeast Asia (FOBISSEA) Primary Games on June 8-10 at its Fort Bonifacio campus in Taguig City.

The annual games among member schools of the Fobissea in June is, in fact, a homecoming meet of sort as the original Fobissea Games were held in 1991 in Manila.

Aside from British School Manila, the participating schools are the International School Brunei, Jerudong International School, both based in Brunei, the Seoul Foreign British School, the St. Christopher's International Primary School based in Penang, Malaysia, and The British School Tokyo.

Promoted to foster camaraderie among students, teachers, staff and parents, the Fobissea Games emphasize sportsmanship and respect for the rights, dignity and worth of all participants regardless of gender, ability, cultural background or religion.

During the games, the participants as well as the spectators are expected to promote the correct image of their respective schools as their ambassadors.

But the Fobissea Games are highly competitive with British School Manila students to pit their skills against their counterparts from other Asian British schools.
