On Monday 8th and Tuesday 10th May we hosted our annual ‘Instrumental Showcase’ in the BISB Theatre. Students from Year 2 – Year 13 were involved performing a range of pieces that they have been learning as part of their instrumental lessons this academic year. Music is one of the few activities that engages the whole brain at the same time.
Learning to play an instrument can enhance a range of transferable skills, it can enhance fine motor skills through finger dexterity and coordination, support well-being and build self esteem through creating a sense of pride and accomplishment in their work, whilst also aiding reflective skills and building resilience.
Some of the students playing in our concerts have never performed in front of an audience before and were able to demonstrate not only their instrumental skill but also bravery. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to our instrumental team for all their hard work with our students and I look forward to seeing the continued growth and quality of musicians at BISB moving into next academic year.

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.
