Head Note’s” I feel satisfied and proud to take my students and team towards another academic year. We look forward to students achievements and a strong team spirit. For our students to be happy, well adjusted, and successful people , they need not only the academic knowledge and skills , but to develop life skills as well. For this purpose BSS has introduced PSHE ( Personal, Social, Health and Emotional )curriculum from the early years to primary. It is a developmentally appropriate curriculum through which children and young people acquire the skills they need to manage their lives. As part of a whole school approach, PSHE develops the quality and attributes pupils need to thrive as an individuals, family members and members of the society.” We look forward to a positive response by the parents as our third most important stake holder in order to take up the initiative successfully. I look forward to sharing this amazing journey with my Students and Team . Regards SMI
