This week, BISB lit up with enthusiasm as we celebrated World Children's Day (WCD) on November 20th. This day holds a special place in our hearts as it marks the introduction of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in 1989.
Our secondary students dove into WCD-themed activities during the third period each day, exploring their rights and the UNCRC, along with getting a closer look at SDGs 4 (Quality Education) and 10 (Reducing Inequalities). Thursday was a sea of blue as students dressed up to show support for UNICEF's work.
Adding to the excitement, it was also Year 11's Service-Learning Action Week. Tutor groups focused on children's rights, from mental health to students' views and choices. One group even raised over 30,000 forints for Igazgyöngy Alapítvány, supporting the education of underprivileged children in rural Hungary.
The week was a hit, making it a memorable time for our students. It wasn't just about celebration - it was a shared commitment to understanding, compassion, and advocating for every child's rights. At BISB, we are proud to nurture global citizens dedicated to making a positive impact.

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.
