BISC

As part of our Egypt and the Middle East Programme, Year 9 students visited Abdeen Palace in Cairo last week. Built in 1863, the palace served as the official residence of the rulers of the Mohamed Ali Dynasty until 1952.

As part of an Arabic Reading Competition for Years 5 and 6, pupils delivered presentations about the books they have been reading to a panel of judges, including our Arabic language coordinators and Ms. Rania Hussein Amin, an author specialising in children's literature.

Year 8 boys were practising their Touch Rugby skills in their PE class today, working as a team to score a try before the opposition tags them.

Year 11 students - also known as our 'Class of 2027' - learnt more about their options for the IB Diploma today, hearing from our Director of Sixth Form and department heads about the exciting challenges ahead.

Well done to the U13 athletes who represented BISC at the BSME Games in Abu Dhabi last week. Our teams finished in 3rd place overall, with team silver medals in athletics, volleyball and football, and a fistful of individual medals in the track and field. You made us proud. 😍

Well done to all the students who planned, delivered and attended a wonderful Pupil Leadership Conference today. The event was an inspirational day of learning for pupils from both the Junior and Senior Schools, alongside guest schools from the @BSMEorg network.👏

Mr. O’Leary’s Year 12 Maths class has been studying Quadratic Functions; building on the foundation skills that were introduced in the IGCSE course. Here, they are completing an activity called “Treasure Hunt”, where students work in pairs to answer questions.

Today, children in our Foundation Stage 2 visited the Great Pyramids of Giza, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world! The trip sparked their curiosity and wonder about this incredible civilisation.

Storytelling Week is proving popular with our Junior School teachers and pupils, as they share their common love of books. From lively creative writing sessions to buddy time in the Library, it's a joy to see their imaginations come to life!

It's Storytelling Week in the Junior School, and today our teachers and pupils have been spinning yarns and weaving tales with their peers and buddies.📖

The Lunar New Year provided an ideal way to introduce the Foundation Stage children at BISC to different cultures, and to showcase diversity in our world. Celebrating with fun activities made this ancient tradition both accessible and meaningful for our young learners.

One of our new after school activities is Crochet and Pillow Making - and these Junior School pupils were fascinated to learn the techniques and see the possibilities. 🧶 Let's see what they can produce this term!

These Year 1 children enjoyed time in the Junior Library today, listening to a story from Ms. Racha before making the tricky choice of which book to take home! 📚

Class 2S performed a beautiful class assembly about making good choices last Thursday. The pupils presented role-play scenarios and spoke confidently to raise awareness of the independent choices the children make on a daily basis.

After School Activities return this week, and among the wide variety of options on offer, these Junior School children have been enjoying basketball, cricket, football and Construction Club!

These Year 6 students were deep in concentration during their weekly library lesson. 📚📖🤗
