What connects each of the varied activities this week is the importance of open minded thinking and the strength of different perspectives to problem solving.

Music has always played a huge part in our wellbeing. The joy of listening to music, of playing music or joining together with others in a collective musical experience spans all cultures, ages and societies. The part that music plays in our personal and collective wellbeing has been shown to be especially significant during this period of lockdown.

A good education is one which is broad, balanced and challenges students to engage in many ways of thinking, being and doing. As I look back at this last week at BIS, and ahead to the weeks to come, the breadth and variety of opportunities our students and staff are engaged in is quite remarkable.

As I write this first update of the new academic year, it is with great pride at how our school has pulled together to start the new academic year so successfully. To commence a new academic year with every student, every teacher and every member of our support staff physically apart, away from campus, each working in their own homes- is an incredible feat.

Opening Doors: the pathway to university, studying abroad and beyond

We are often asked when the ‘right time’ is for conversations at-home or in school to be had around making decisions for the future. Rather than recommend a specific time in which these decisions need to be made, we suggest instead that all of our parents keep in mind the key milestones in the secondary school calendar and how decisions at each of these stages help to open up potential future pathways and opportunities.
