Monday 6th and Tuesday 7th November we welcomed the return of Nick Mahmut our Juilliard Drama Curriculum Specialist to the school. During the visit, Nick worked alongside students in a range of lessons, supporting students in Year 7, 8, 10 and 12 with their on-going learning and development of Drama skills. Nick was also able to work alongside our cast for this year’s school musical, ‘GREASE’ where we workshopped with the lead roles, focusing on ensemble skills and building relationships amongst the cast. Alongside our students, Nick also led a professional development workshop with our Performing Arts team and the team had some opportunities to share ideas as a department and build on our students creative learning at BISB. It has been a fabulous two days and we look forward to welcoming our Juilliard Music Curriculum Specialist later in the academic year.

This week in English, Year 8 shared their completed magazines in a collaborative press event. There was a lovely buzz in the classrooms, and we were very impressed with both the quality of the work produced and the professionalism with which they pitched their final products to each other and the Year 12 Muse students who came along as well.
