News from BKHS Bablake Preparatory and BKHS Pre Prep School
W
hat makes Bablake so special? I am often asked this question.
When the buildings, lessons and activities are all stripped away, what is found at the heart of our school are the people, the relationships that we share and the care that we have for one another that binds us together as a community. Helen Keller, a famous American author, once said, “Alone, we can do so little; together we can do so much.” The sentiment contained within these words holds for Bablake Prep when I reflect on the story of the past two years. Our community continues to be defined by our sense of responsibility toward each other and our relentless pursuit of excellence in everything that we do.
Throughout this term, we have been exploring the characteristics of what makes our community strong. Most importantly, our greatest strength is our diversity which is representative of 44 nationalities worldwide. Our culturally rich school is underpinned by the respect we have for each other, the care that we share for our differences and the celebration of our individual strengths. We are proud of our school, our collaborative endeavours and the successes achieved by the individuals that make up our community which keeps Bablake moving forward into the future. Finally, our determination to provide various opportunities for our community to participate gives our community strength. The highlight of this term was celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, where we planted a Silver Birch tree to mark this extraordinary occasion.
