BISC Lions Rugby Club

4/12/2018

 
Today 8 Lions met at the school (at 6:30 AM!) ready to travel to Boleslawiec for the Lower Silesian TAG rugby Finals. 31 teams from all over Lower Silesia competed to be regional champions and the standard was very impressive. Our Lions tried hard but were facing tough opposition. Players we were against have been playing TAG rugby both at school and out of school for club teams for many years. Most of our team have only been playing for a few months. But still, we drew 1 game (which we should have won) and lost our other 3 games by small margins. We scored good tries in every game, we never gave up, and kept playing good rugby. Most importantly our players were smiling and enjoyed their day, despite feeling a little disappointed. With all our recent success, our Lions have got used to winning, but this time we settle for 10th out of 12 in our age category. We are still the top team in Wroclaw and can now look to keep improving and be ready for an exciting new season in March/April!! Player of the tournament: Yash - He has really grown in confidence this season and is now a dangerman in our team, always looking for the ball and finding gaps in the opposition defence to score some great tries.

Book launch at the Ritz (London) to celebrate Prince Charles’s 70th birthday

To mark the 70th birthday of Prince Charles, the SJH Group (St James’s House) and the Royal Correspondent Robert Jobson have produced a commemorative publication Our Future King: Prince Charles at 70. We’re very proud to announce that Andy Harris and the British International School Wroclaw is one of a number of selected individuals and companies featured in this publication.

Our Future King: Prince Charles at 70 is edited by the best-selling, award-winning author Robert Jobson, who has chronicled the story of the House of Windsor for the past 30 years.
Celebrating a lifetime of achievement and heralding his current and future roles and responsibilities, this high-quality, coffee-table book charts the Prince's seven decades; from his early years through to his present status as one the most significant figures on the world stage. In recognition of Prince Charles’s passion for the environment, innovation and education, the book contains articles on leaders in the field of ecological awareness, leaders in learning, sustainable fashion, sustainable food, captain of industry, global hospitality and iconic style.

The fully illustrated hardback was launched in the refined setting of the Ritz London hotel in Piccadilly on 14th November 2018.

Our Future King: Prince Charles at 70 can be purchased directly from the publisher, online or major bookshops.

Animal Shelter Charitable Collection & Visit

4/3/2016

 
​In February, the sixth grade of the Polish School in BISC and Mrs. Magda Mrozowska organised a charity collection for the Hera animal shelter in Wrocław. Together, the whole school (students, parents and teachers) collected:
  • dry food : 26 kg for dogs and 3.2 kg for cats
  • wet food: 3.2 kg for dogs and 2.5 kg for cats
  • 5 treats 5 bowls, 5 leads, 7 toys and 17 blankets and towels
  • 233 zł
We would like to thank you for your contributions and all the donations!
I really liked the trip to the animal shelter. When we arrived I was sad but when we saw the animal shelter inside it was nice. I was happy going to the shelter with my friends. It was a super exciting trip. When we left the animals it was sad but there were some dogs that we could play with. IT WAS GORGEOUS!!!!!!!
I am happy that they take care of the animals. When we left the animal shelter I was so happy that we helped them. It was really fun to visit and help cats, dogs, rabbits and rats. I LOVED that we helped the animals.
Jennifer Świercz Y7

Today we went to the Wrocław shelter, Hera. It was very interesting. We got to tour around the area. The cats and dogs were very cute, but I felt sorry for them because they have to spend lots of time in the cages outside, and it's cold there. I want all the best for them. I really liked this trip and i hope all the animals get a good Home and owner in the future. Nadia Mitek Y8

We drove to our destination in a taxi and we got there in about twenty minutes. We gave the people in the shelter our goods and took some pictures. After we went to look at all the animals. I was happy to notice that there were less animals than two years ago! Fortunately there are very kind people taking care of everything! I loved seeing some dogs which got to run around freely. I could see they were happy! I enjoyed helping the pets I hope we can do the action again next year!

Primary Carnival Day - 5th of February

29/1/2016

 
​Dear parents,
 
Our carnival day will be held on Friday 5th February and we have some special activities planned! We have arts and crafts, carnival games, Zumba, a disco and of course the children can wear fancy dress costumes. The best dressed children will win prizes! 
 
Children should come to school wearing their costumes, but they will be doing Zumba and playing outside during the day so please think carefully when choosing an appropriate costume. All children must bring their gym shoes for Zumba, children who don’t have proper sports shoes will not be able to take part and will sit and watch.
 
Years 1, 2 and foundation will be walking to Dębowa for Zumba at 8.30 so please be at school on time.
 
Please leave lunches in the classroom in the morning and not in the dining room and if possible, send lunches that do not need heating up.
 
If you have any questions about carnival feel free to contact me on alove@bisc.wroclaw.pl.
 
We look forward to having lots of fun and seeing all the fantastic costumes.
 
 
Kind regards
 
The BISC staff

Ski Camp - Janske Lazne

8/1/2016

 
On Monday the 11th of January, Primary and Secondary students attending the Ski Camp in Janske Lazne, Czech Republic need to be at school at 07:30, as the group will be leaving at 08:00.

Updates during the trip will be posted to this page, so check back to find out what's been happening on Ski Camp.

Camp Update - 12th of January

The children were very excited to be travelling to Janskie Lazne, our ski resort destination and chatted most of the journey. As we got closer to Czech Republic more and more snow blanketed the hillside, which was a good sign. We arrived to the hotel in great time and were able to sort out all of the ski boots, skies and helmets just in time for a delicious dinner.

The second day in Janskie Lazne was ski day! The whole group made it to the top of Cerna Hora, the tallest mountain in our resort. There at the top children were split into small groups depending on their experience of skiing. The weather was pretty harsh as it was snowing all day. However, the kids did extremely well skiing in those conditions.
