A New School Year, A New School Community

by Kendall Peet, Head of School

One of the many positives associated with the IBSB educational experience is the warmth of the IBSB community, which had their first opportunity to come together in the third week of the school year for the Parent-Teacher Coffee Mornings, attracting a strong turnout from parents this year after a two-year COVID hiatus. Most class tables were full to capacity, offering parents both old and new the perfect opportunity to meet in a friendly, social setting over a cup of coffee, and speak with the class teacher about the year ahead.

Next up on the social calendar was the Parent-Teacher BBQ, which took place on Saturday, September 24th. As you can see from the photos, there was another great turnout, with our staff and families taking full advantage of the wonderful sunny weather. Our Head of School, Mr Peet, also took full advantage of the occasion, inviting parents to join him for a short presentation, reviewing the work completed over the summer, which included extending the outdoor areas and adding a new Parents Hub, and presenting an updated school development plan for 2022-25. This was followed by a short Q&A, before everyone returned outside to the enjoy the food, drinks, good company, and warm autumn weather.
