Making a positive contribution to school life
Our Year 8 students have made an excellent start to the year. So much so, that some students having already received praise emails from teachers to parents because it is not just about the relationships between students and teachers that count. If we forget about parents, then we miss out a significant part of the jigsaw puzzle. At BISS, we believe the most effective relationships are built on positive communication. Erik Cuc, Lucas Yu-Cheng and Liam Webb were amongst the students who were recognised recently during assembly time for their positive contributions to school life.

The Art Exhibition
Given the busy schedule of IB, it is often really easy to forget about your hobbies to focus on academics for an exam or a predicted grade instead. I think it is kind of sad if we let go or give up midway the hobbies we love, because they are eventually what we do to find out who we truly are. This art exhibition is a tribute to years of perseverance and passion on my part as well as Eugene’s, who happens to be dedicated to the same field as I am. We want to share our love for the arts by displaying some of the artworks that we are most proud of and hope that students could have fun as the term is coming to a close.
