On Monday 28th August 2023, instrumental lessons will begin for the new academic year at BISB. We are excited to offer instrumental lessons to students in Year 1 or above, on a range of instruments including the piano, guitar, drum kit, clarinet, saxophone, recorder, brass, violin and cello. If you are interested in your child learning an instrument this year, please see the attached information and contact the relevant instrumental teacher using the emails provided.
Learning to play an instrument can enhance a range of transferable skills, including cognitive abilities such as critical thinking skills, brain development through strengthening connections and improving memory. Playing an instrument also enhances emotional and mental wellbeing, through fostering self-expression and reducing stress and anxiety.
We are looking forward to seeing our instrumental team next week and encourage an early sign-up so as not to miss out.

On Tuesday evening we welcomed the BBIS Girls' Football team to play in a Festival of Football celebrating the year so far. The whole event was played in a friendly and fun environment where the girls from both teams could show off their talents that they have been working on in training sessions.
RoboCup Junior is an international educational robotics initiative that has been inspiring young students worldwide to engage with STEM subjects through hands-on robotics competitions for over 25 years.
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.
