I am once again pleased to welcome you back to the 2020/2021 school year! I would like to extend a special welcome to all of the new staff and families joining BST this year and welcome back all of our returning families as well! I am honoured to be your principal.
Dear parents,
We’d love to meet you in person, but while that is not possible we are excited to invite you to our very first Virtual Coffee Afternoons.
On Tuesday 11th August our IGCSE results for Cambridge examinations arrived and once again we are so proud of our students’ achievements. A very well deserved ‘well done’ to all in Year 11!
Being part of HMUN Dubai’s first conference was definitely a new and inspiring experience. We have gotten a taste of MUN in a completely different format whilst being in the biggest committees BST has ever participated in, ranging from 50 to 100 delegates in one zoom conference!
As an Early Years teacher, I am often asked by parents at the end of the school year, what can they do to support their child over the summer holidays, what app? or workbooks should they buy? or how can they make sure their child is ready for the next school year. The answer I give may sound very simple, but is all too often overlooked - just let them play!
We have all now been at home since the 16th March in this most unique of times. As humans, we are generally sociable and like the company of others and so this period of self-isolation and lockdown for the past 11 weeks has caused many of us to do things differently in our lives.
We are delighted to announce that Dr André Nel will be the next Principal at The British School of Tashkent (BST). He will be joining us at the start of the new academic year in August 2020.
Virtual learning has become the new normal at BST over the past few weeks and as teachers, students and parents can attest, the process has been very rewarding as well as challenging and frustrating for all concerned. Both students and teachers alike should be commended for adjusting to this new form of school life so quickly and so positively.
