Dear Parents Thank you for another wonderful and productive school year. I can’t thank everyone enough for their endless hours of volunteering, chaperoning, reading, organising, donating and doing whatever was necessary to support students—both at home and at school.

Some of BST’s secondary students participated in the online International StemCo Olympiad in different categories last month and won 14 awards in total! We have one gold, 6 silver and 7 bronze awards. Congratulations to Ibraheem Andijani, who won gold for Biology and is ranked number 2 globally. Please also congratulate Akbar Pulatov, Dhey Vanraj, Mridula Rout and Malek El Toamey for winning prizes in their categories.

Primary boys’ and girls’ football tournament against TIS in May was a smash! Both teams played against established players and won! In the first game, our quick Lions pounced with an early goal. They followed this with good possession and team play leading to two more goals. In the second game, they showed good teamwork and great communication with each other. The great team play resulted in a 7:3 win for the Lions. In the third game, the Lions were starting to get tired. But they did not lose concentration and showed great belief in themselves, working hard and determined to represent BST well. Despite conceding 2 goals they won the match 5:2. Our students showed confidence and played a beautiful final game resulting in a 7:3 win. We are proud of our primary Lions, because they showed really good sportsmanship, teamwork and competitiveness. This is a big step for the future and the middle school team will benefit from their inclusion. Well done Lions!

On 15 October, we waved goodbye to group of 27 BST students from Years 10-13 and 5 staff who set off for an Adventures Hike to complete their Bronze Award as part of the Duke of Edinburgh Award Programme. The group under the leadership of Stephanie Corbishley will spend two days hiking in the Chimgan mountains. Complete with all their backpacks and appropriate equipment, the team left in bright sunshine and mild weather, great for the start of their journey.

Our first “Let’s Explore Early Years” live question and answer session is on Wednesday 27th October – 15:00 – 16:00 Uzbek time. Ms Irene Nel, Head of Early Years, will be leading this Q&A on why social and emotional development is crucial in Early Years?

Students at BST have embraced Global Campus with great enthusiasm this year. Challenges were related to various subjects and set in many different topics. Our students used the Global Campus platform during lessons as an extension to the work being done in class.

Year 9 students really enjoyed the two-day Plein Air Art trip to the Aktash mountain area. The trip provided a new and exciting learning opportunity. The students were able to beautifully document a place in time, on canvas. The lovely Spring weather allowed our students to fully immerse themselves in the natural beauty of each of the landscapes visited. The experience and excitement of the visit were evident in the outstanding artwork created by each and every student that participated on the trip.

Chemistry, along with biology and physics, is one of the three major components of science. If we look at biology as the study of living things and physics as the study of the motion of matter, then chemistry is the study of matter itself.

On Sayram Campus, our wonderful Year 1 and 2 students performed 'Snowy Friends' in front of their friends and families. The winter show was full of brilliant songs and it told the story of Sammy the Snowman, a lonely snowman who was cheered up by a host of characters. Bravo Year 1s and 2s - it was spectacular!

During our lessons last week, the children have done different activities.

Virtual learning has become the new normal at BST over the past few weeks and as teachers, students and parents can attest, the process has been very rewarding as well as challenging and frustrating for all concerned. Both students and teachers alike should be commended for adjusting to this new form of school life so quickly and so positively.

EYFS have been busy this week painting rainbows to place in their windows.The children did this to cheer up people who walked passed. These paintings are meant to offer a message of hope to the public during this coronavirus lockdown.  Well done to all the EYFS Children at BST

Empowering our students to be world-changers is something central to every Nord Anglia Education school. We encourage them to share their thoughts on pressing global issues and to be ambitious about their role in making our world a better place through global-mindedness and active leadership.
