This week students have been celebrating the multilingual nature of our school community!

The events have been organised by this year's newly appointed Language Prefects - Julia Hetzmann and Ghazal Manieh who have done a fantastic job in their new roles so far. Each day began with a fun tutor time activity - a Kahoot quiz based on one of the 5 languages taught here at BISB - French, German, Spanish, Hungarian and Mandarin. Each lunchtime there was a different language activity for students to get involved with. On Monday we had a 'pin the language on the map' challenge, Tuesday we created our own polyglot graffiti wall and on Wednesday students received stickers to put on their ID cards to represent the languages that they know. On Thursday we celebrated Mandarin Chinese with our Year 12 and 13 Chinese Language A students preparing some activities for students to try. The week culminated today with a treasure hunt style quiz!

Secondary welcomes students back with fun-filled activities

It was a delight to welcome students back to our Secondary school this week. To ease the transition back to campus we created 2 days of fun-filled activities on Tuesday and Wednesday before our usual timetable began on Thursday.

Questions – The Source of all Knowledge?

What do you remember about your days in the classroom? Your fellow students? Teachers? Questions? Probably questions, lots and lots of questions, as it is essential to any learning to start with a question to which you want to know the answer. Questions are not just for the classroom though, as Einstein said, “The important thing is to never stop questioning”. Teachers are in a very privileged position of using and responding to questions as part of their daily work; we never stop questioning.
