Year 13 have been moving through their final unit on Organic Chemistry and performed a practical to extract limonene from, you’ve guessed it, oranges. (It is also in lemons, but oranges make the laboratory smell nicer!) They used simple distillation to collect the oil from the orange peel, and then performed a test to prove that it was what they expected it to be - it was.

Last Thursday and Friday, our Year 5 and Year 6 students laced up their hiking boots and headed into the beautiful Buda Hills behind the school for an adventurous 10km walk.
Science Week at the British International School Budapest has been a whirlwind of discovery, excitement, and hands-on learning. Students across all year groups have immersed themselves in engaging activities designed to spark curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world around them.
Last week, 24 of our primary student athletes travelled to Prague to represent our school at the Under 11 Nord Anglia Global Games: Europe (NAGGE). After months of dedicated training in football and basketball, the students were eager to showcase their skills on the international stage.
