On Monday, May 13th, our Year 9 Hungarian groups embarked on an educational journey to the Hospital in the Rock. This underground hospital, operating during WWII and the 1956 Revolution, offered an immersive experience linked to their Hungarian History studies. Students were divided into doctors and soldiers teams, engaging in games and activities that brought history to life. From painting wounds to carrying stretchers, they gained a deeper understanding of the hospital's significance and the resilience of those who worked there. The visit seamlessly combined learning and fun, and also served as a team building experience.
What students learnt:
We learnt about health care during WWII and the revolution of 1956. (Nóra)
The Hospital in the Rock had a crucial role to save the people of Budapest during the wars. (Fülöp)
The caves of the Hospital in the Rock run 10 km long. (Dániel)
Originally, they designed the capacity of the hospital for 60 patients, but later it was extended to 200 patients. (Panni and Szofi)
During WWII the hospital didn't receive any water for 2 weeks, and people could use only 1 litre of water per day. (Luka)

Hungarian Teacher and Social Impact Lead
After learning about Attila József for a few lessons, our Hungarian teacher led us on a Year arrival, we stepped into a truly delightful inner garden, adorned with exquisite flowers.
Year 9 Service Learning project, under the name of Wellbeing Fair, was a huge success! Everyone in our year group has been preparing for months to be able to deliver such a result. The collaboration work was well spread out, with people from Sapphire writing some positive notes, taking smiling photos and organising a fitness challenge. Jade was hard at work making sure that everything goes well at their bake sale, and their football event. Ruby created a quiz, had a juice bar, and organised a penalty shootout.
The BISB WOLVES Secondary Girls' and Boys' Volleyball teams have wrapped up a short but action-packed season, demonstrating remarkable growth, resilience, and sportsmanship in both the Danube Valley Athletic Conference (DVAC) festivals, tournaments and the BISL Budapest Cup.
