Peer Mentoring Programme
A safe space for our younger students (mentees) to reflect, feel heard and be supported.
A growing opportunity for the older students (mentors) to be empowered with leadership skills.
The Peer Mentoring Programme was founded in 2019 by Ms Ford, the Deputy Head of Secondary Care and Guidance Leader, and Mr Randall, our then Drama teacher and Programme Coordinator. Currently, we have a total of 28 trained mentors across Year 10 and Year 13. These mentors and their mentees meet regularly to discuss the mentees' goals and concerns, supporting them with suitable strategies for each situation. With their new skillset as a mentor, they have created and will continue to make a tremendous positive impact in our community!
In next week's newsletter, you will learn more about the origins of this flourishing programme, and how subsequently it created another dimension to the learning experience we provide here at BISB.
Stay tuned to peek into more exciting behind-the-scenes stories about this programme!

Year 12 have been spending a lot of time in Sports Hall One over the last week. Not doing sport, although they could tell you the science behind it…
There was a fun packed programme for the secondary students remaining on-site, which followed the 5 Co-Curricular strands. Students were immersed in languages, film-making, STEAM activities and cooking. They learned about children's rights and advocacy, and showed their creative talents through artwork. They hiked in the hills and formed friendships across year groups. See the Firefly page for further details and photographs
It has been a very memorable end of the primary journey for our Year 6 students. This last week of term has been jam packed. On Monday and Tuesday, the students performed the end of year production of ‘Olivia’, on Tuesday morning, there was a year group water fight and on Wednesday afternoon, they finally graduated with a special ceremony.
As a community, we've been actively promoting healthy eating habits through our weekly articles about life in the kitchen. With the summer holidays just a few days away and the heatwave this summer, we must all be more mindful of our fluid intake.
