InterSEK 2022
An experience that can never be forgotten, a trip overseas to compete in the sporting InterSEK among our sister schools from IES and SEK. Eight BIS students travelled with their guide, Mrs Diana Rubio to Valencia in Spain for this prestigious event. They competed in Basketball, Soccer, Padel, Athletics, Volleyball and more…
Our students did very well and won a few medals:
Tawany – Gold medal High Jump
Teeyana – Silver medal High Jump
Tawany – Silver medal 1500m
Tawany – Bronze medal 60m
Teeyana – Silver medal 60m
Boys Soccer – Bronze medal
The most important aspect of this trip was not the medals or competition, it was the experience and precious friendships the students made during the week of enjoying the culture and hospitality of our hosting families and school. We would like to thank them all for hosting our students in such a warm and wonderful way. A bond that we were lucky enough to capture on a few of the images below.
Well done on being true ambassadors to our school Lunje Languza Year 6, Donsima Sima Year 6, Teeyana Shaik Mahomed Year 8, Ian Scrooby Year 8, Gabrielle Adamson Year 9, Jens Buchwald Year 9, Geneva Cohen Year 9, Tawany Maurits Lasoen Year 9, Karabo Kalane Year 9 and Jessica Smith Year 11. You have made us so proud!
IES Sports Day 2022
On Friday, 22 July 2022, Blouberg International School hosted our fellow IES South African schools, Hout Bay International School and Helderberg International School, for an exciting day of sport. The U18 teams of the three schools competed in Soccer, Netball and Chess with some joyous cheers from the supporters.
Even though all matches were played with competitive intent and passionate hearts, we were extremely proud of the sportsmanship displayed by all athletes. It was evident that sportsmanship-values took priority above having good results, a true inspiration for our younger athletes who supported their teams. BIS celebrated victories in all games played. The U18 boys had even more reason to celebrate as they also received their brand-new soccer match kits on Friday.
We are looking forward to visiting Hout Bay International School next year to compete for the trophy.
