Being aware and being human: sharing stories

BIS-Aware season on the Secondary campus was an opportunity to explore the breadth and depth of who ‘We Are’ as individuals and communities, it provided a platform to explore the Protected Characteristics, the hidden and lesser known stories that celebrate our strength and diversity. The purpose of this inaugural event was to promote Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging (EDIB) to nurture a supportive community that encourages a sense of social responsibility and inclusion. This brings together both worldwide movements such as Black History Month and Women's History Month but also our own ‘in-house’ awareness event from the Identity Alliance group. This year our theme was ‘Sharing Stories’.

Mr Carl Mincher: Weekly Update 08/06/2018

You may know a popular song that goes … “And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat..”. Having a special meaning to us this week I found these lyrics were playing over in my mind. My recent updates have reflected on important days in BIS life and the rites of passage our students enjoy as they join us grow, flourish and move on. From the big concerts to the stage shows to sporting tournaments, to their final exams and of course to their graduation these moments punctuate the the journey and this week has certainly added to these.

Happiness Week 2018

Developing a positive school culture for wellbeing is vital for achieving the desired outcomes for student happiness. However, at times we can all feel a little overwhelmed, particularly in an environment where there is a lot going on. Pressure to perform and improve drives us on and makes us better at what we do but ultimately, if we can’t manage pressure effectively it can lead to stress.
