At BMIS, students engage in physical education and games, which significantly enhance their personal growth. Through these activities, they not only improve physical fitness but also gain crucial life skills. They learn responsibility by committing to their team and staying prepared for practices and competitions. Time management is developed as they balance academics with sports. They foster respect for teammates, opponents, and teachers, promoting sportsmanship. Through team roles, they build leadership and decision-making skills. Setting and achieving goals teaches them perseverance and the value of hard work. Lastly, students learn to handle pressure, manage success and failure, and stay focused in difficult situations. These skills, cultivated in sports, extend beyond the field, shaping their future success in all areas of life.
As we embark on an exciting term filled with artistic exploration, we invite you to witness the diverse landscape of creativity displayed on our art board!
From Year 7's exploration of drawing and colour theory to Year 8's dive into the art of portraiture, each class is set to embark on a unique journey. Year 9 will connect the vibrant Mexican Day of the Dead with the endangered Monarch butterfly, while Year 10 begins their thematic response projects. Meanwhile, our Year 11 students are busy building their coursework portfolios, and our Year 12 and 13 artists are honing their skills on specific art briefs.
We encourage you to engage with your child about their projects and support their artistic growth, as daily practice is essential to mastering their craft. Let’s inspire their creativity together this term!
