Each swimmer braved the blocks, swam their hearts out and reached for glory when swimming in their individual and relay events. Some races were as short as 25 meters, others as long as 400 meters, but all races were competed in the same win for the badge of BIS attitude. BIS had a large number of individual and team accolades throughout the age groups. Please see the names of 1st – 3rd place below.

Final performances in the BIS pool came from Year 13s Jeremie Luong and Junwon Hwang, who excelled once again with a plethora of points in their races. The day could not have been a success without the superb effort from the swim coaches and PE staff. A special thank you should also go to the wonderful work of all the parent helpers who volunteered their time, some for a couple of hours, some for double shifts and the whole day, that made the organisation and delivery of such a big event for so many children run so smoothly.

An incredible 62% of all grades awarded were at A*-A.
The U15 FOBISIA Team returned from Thailand on Sunday after a superb competition. Competing against other British international schools in Asia, across Athletics, Swimming, Basketball and Football, the team came back with over 50 medals and invaluable memories together as a team!
