Last week our U11 Wolves athletes travelled to the British International School in Prague to compete in the NAGGE Football and Basketball competition. This was our Primary students' first major sports competition since 2018!
Day 1 of the competition saw the boys take to the basketball court and the girls, the football pitch. Both teams competed in matches against five of our Nord Anglia family of schools across Europe: NAIS Dublin, BIS Bratislava, La Cote Aubonne Switzerland, TBS Warsaw and the hosts, Prague British International School.
Our young Wolves performed absolutely brilliantly on Day 1. With each match, our boys' and girls' teams just kept getting better and better. Both teams showed exceptional teamwork and dedication throughout their tournaments. Considering, for many of our athletes this was their first experience of competitive football and basketball representing BISB, this opportunity has really helped them develop their skills and confidence. Facing some tough competition, our athletes demonstrated resilience and a strong sense of team spirit. Their effort and commitment were evident in every match they played and we are extremely proud of all of their performances. Our boys' basketball team finished in an impressive 2nd place and our girls football team finished 4th. After tying on points with another school, 3rd place had to be decided by which team had the better goal difference. Unfortunately, our girls just missed out on this occasion!
On Day 2 of the tournament, it was time for the girls to compete in basketball and the boys to compete in football. Day 2 brought another fantastic day of sporting competition for our U11 NAGGE athletes. Our girls' basketball team improved with every game and although they didn't manage to achieve a podium finish on this occasion, they had a valuable learning experience and have shown tremendous potential for the future. This will be a team to watch! Our boys football team had an exceptional tournament and displayed some truly fantastic football. They came away as well-deserved champions and we will no doubt see more successes from this young team in years to come.
Congratulations to all our U11 Wolves athletes who participated in this competition!

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.
