High School Induction Day 2022

 

Foreword

Welcome back to Blouberg International School and the start of a new academic year. A special word of welcome to our new families – I trust that you already feel at home.

We recognize that in order to be successful in school, our children need support from both the home and school. We know a strong partnership with you will make a great difference in your child’s education. As partners, we share the responsibility for our children’s success and want you to know that we will do our very best to carry out our responsibilities. We ask that you guide and support your child’s learning by ensuring that

he/she:

• Attends school daily and arrives on time, ready for the day’s learning experience.
• Reads daily to develop a love for reading and to improve literacy skills.
• Shares school experiences with you so that you are aware of his/her school life.
• Informs you if he/she needs additional support in any area or subject.

Looking forward to a successful term and great year,

Mrs Carmen de Villiers

High School Coordinator

 

 

High School Induction Day 2022

The high school Induction Day for new students took place on Friday, 14 January 2022. It was organised and led by the Student Representative Council and Matric students, who showed commendable diligence by planning this event from Term 4 and in the last week of their holidays.

Students participated in a variety of games and activities designed to help them to get to know each other better. They were also taken on a tour of the school so that they could be familiar with their subject teachers and the building before their first day. Students were allocated a house and the Year 7s met their tutor teachers.

Something new that was introduced this year was Matric Mentors. The Matric students were allocated Year 7 students who they need to keep in contact with during the school year. The purpose of this is to help the Year 7s settle into high school and encourage student involvement and effective communication.

We would like to extend a warm welcome to all our new students. May your time at BIS be enjoyable and fulfilling.
