From The Head Teacher

This has been a fabulous final two weeks and a fitting culmination of an exceptional term.
 

Highlights this week included the Year 10-12 Inter-house Swimming Gala and, of course, our annual production which this year featured Guys and Dolls.  Students hosted our annual Easter Party for the children of the Mai Tam House of Hope.
 

Last week and through the weekend, we participated in the 4th annual SAIMUN Model United Nations conference and held our own inaugural Inter-house Drama Competition. 
 

In Kuala Lumpur, the school was represented at the IB Asia Pacific Annual Conference. Ms. Mary Morrison and Mr. Ben Turner presented to international conference delegates on the work we are doing at BIS to ensure that the IB Learner Profile is embedded in learning though our staff performance management and professional development systems. 
 

This coming weekend, Year 12 students will attend a “Workshop on Creative Thinking for Leaders of the Future” by Professor John Spinks, Director of Undergraduate Admissions at Hong Kong University.
 

So, pretty much business as usual for our vibrant, committed school community.  I wish you all a safe and restful break and look forward to seeing you all again on Monday 15th April.

Thank you to our outgoing Head Students

In our end of term assembly, our outgoing Head Students handed over to our new team.  Annette Wu, Head Girl, Nicholas Yap, Head Boy,  Rhianne Williams, Deputy Head Girl and Vasco Egert, Deputy Head Boy have done an outstanding job since this time last year and they now step down to concentrate on the all-important IB Diploma examinations.  They have represented the school extremely well, led the prefect team superbly and are collectively the epitome of all we stand for and value.    We will thank them in person at the Graduation Ceremony next term, but in the meantime, a huge THANK YOU from all of us at BIS.

Congratulations to our new Head Students 2013-14
