On Saturday 30th March, our school hosted its first Model United Nations conference where the Human Rights Council hosted and debated a resolution meeting on the current humanitarian situation in Yemen.

BISB students travelled to Bratislava on Thursday 28th March to participate in the Nord Anglia Europe and Middle East Performing Arts Festival. We knew that with over 200 students from 13 schools and a concert to put together, it was going to be a busy few days. Over the course of the 3 days, students worked incredibly hard.

On Wednesday 20th March, the Year 10 Drama students successfully performed their Group Devised pieces, as part of their IGCSE Drama internal coursework. There were four 15 minute performances, based on a stimulus of their choice. We had an exciting array of different genres and theatre styles. This was their first performance to an audience of peers, teachers and parents. The students did a fantastic job and they should all be extremely proud of themselves, as am I. I look forward to their next performances later in the year.  Mark Randall Drama Teacher

Our Year 13 IB Biology students were given a rare opportunity to visit the Honved Hospital and attend a human autopsy. As well as complementing the Animal Physiology part of the IB Biology course, this was a valuable opportunity for any student interested in studying Medicine or Biomedical Sciences at university. It also allowed the students to get a better understanding of how the human body works. Below is a summary from two of our Year 13 students, Kavya Francis and Eszter Soós, who attended. Miss Uhure.

Year 3 Daffodil class continued their Topic work entitled “Paintings, Portraits and Photographs” this week with the focus on abstract artist Kandinsky. The children researched his life and work and then responded creatively to the artist’s favourite music by Richard Wagner. The results are unique and highly creative!

This week we celebrated the creative achievements of thirteen students in Year 7 and 8 who wrote and performed their own poems. Inspired by renowned slam poets such as Sarah Kay and Harry Baker, they took to the stage to perform in a poetry showcase to students in Year 10.  The topics ranged from thoughts on self-acceptance to defying gender stereotypes. It was great to see such heartfelt, imaginative and thoughtful performances!

What is the purpose of education? A few answers spring to mind here. Of course, our students are here to achieve good grades in their academic studies that will move them on to the next stage, but the purpose of education is much more than that. It is for the preparation of citizenship, preparation for the world of work, for personal empowerment to make positive choices and to set aspirational goals.

Congratulations to our Global Campus Comic Book Competition runners up: Tiancheng, Ester, Carmen, Kausar and Edward from 1 Grasshopper class.
