			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since the launch at the beginning of the school year the ATAC blog has to date received over 25,ooo visits and has provided valuable up to date information for ISM students/parents in a wide variety of ATAC program areas. We are constantly updating the blog to provide current information and in our quest to do so you will notice a new twitter service now available. Tweets from <strong>ISManilaAD</strong> will be posted for important ISM information/updates related to the ATAC program. This service will be especially relevant to HS students/parents who are heavily involved in our program and who may travel frequently with school teams. If buses or flights are delayed a tweet can be posted to inform parents and to allow them to keep updated if events like this occur. If you are a regular IASAS host family this service may be of use as tweets will be posted if arriving teams have been delayed at the airport and pick up times are affected. You can view tweets on the blog home page and also by subscribing to twitter/setting up an account you can follow ISManilaAD by clicking on the ‘follow me’ button at the blog home page and you can receive updates directly  to your cell phone to <strong>k</strong>eep<strong> updated on the go with all the Bearcats action! During IASAS weeks score updates/results and medal performances will also be posted!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Exciting developments for next school year:</strong></p>
<p><strong>In our quest to ensure ISM maintains and keeps improving the wonderful sports facilities we have it gives me great pleasure to advise that work has already started on the new roof top tennis court project  and that work will be starting in late May on resurfacing our track. </strong></p>
<p><strong>The tennis court redevelopment is a large scale project which when completed in mid/late October will provide a fully covered facility for tennis and PE classes with the addition of two courts (currently 6 to 8 courts), along with male/female locker rooms, extra storage space for equipment, roll away tennis nets, a small office and two areas of spectator bleachers.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Our athletics track will be resurfaced and the jumps runway/landing pit area will be relocated slightly to improve this facility. We will also be adding an additional shot-put circle, grading and resowing this area </strong></p>
<p><strong>ISM hosts IASAS Tennis and Track &amp; Field next school year and these improvements will ensure we have the best facilities possible to host the IASAS Championships in 2013 and for our students/teams to use for their PE classes and team training on a day to day basis during the school year.</strong></p>
<p>ATAC Events coming up:</p>
<p><strong>May 12th</strong> Aikido and Judo meet Gymnastic area/Covered Court.</p>
