In addition to classroom learning, there will also be an option of online learning for those students whose families would still prefer to keep them at home. The BIS is prepared to provide a safe environment for all the students attending school by ensuring social distancing during the lessons, as well as during break times.

Students and staff will be required to wear face masks and all the required hygiene measures will be in place. We wish all our students, staff and parents a happy and healthy start of the 2020-21 school year.

Since the confirmation of cases of Covid-19 (Coronavirus) in Serbia and the actions of governments across Europe with regard to school closures, a lot of parents have been asking about our ongoing plans to manage the situation. We have now drawn up a set of contingency plans aimed at minimising the spread of infection, while still providing the best possible education to our students. Please find below our contingency plans for possible cases of Covid-19 at school and our plans for continued educational provision for students.

All of the above actions will be reviewed on an ongoing basis. School will also act in accordance with Serbian government guidance and implement the above procedures in line with regulations as set out at government level.

In the case of office staff, any secondary school closure will also close the school office. The office will then operate remotely only. We will contact parents to arrange for any due payments to be made either remotely or to be delayed until an agreed date.

Thank you all for your co-operation and understanding so far. If you have any questions or concerns about our plans, please contact Mr. Wade or Ms. Keserovic by email or telephone.

Yours Faithfully,

Ms. A Keserovic
School Principal

Participating at the THIMUN with over 3000 delegates helped the BISMUN Club students to practice their public speaking, debating skills and their understanding of technical legal language. Working at the conference with 150 nationalities the BISMUN Club students encountered an internationally diverse environment and made connections with people from all around the globe.

THIMUN took place at the International Forum in Hague where many world leaders have spoken and made important geopolitical agreements. By being there the BISMUN Club students were able to experience the same formality and prestige as experienced by many high-level diplomats and world leaders.

In their free time, the BISMUN Club had the chance to visit two universities in Amsterdam, multiple museums and observe a trial at the International Mechanisms for Criminal Tribunals.

The trip gave our students a uniquely practical experience to put into practice what would otherwise be taught in the classrooms. For more information about the activities of the BISMUN club, you can follow them on Instagram @bismunclub.

After a rigorous 2- part written test in Mathematics and Physics, Ana was invited for an interview and answered all the questions related to Physics in front of two independent examination committees. Several weeks ago Ana received a positive reply, informing her that she was accepted to the programme of studies in Engineering.

Ana is working hard towards her A level examinations, as she needs to complete 6 full A levels with outstanding grades. Well done Ana!

Combining well-known songs, sketches, dances, physical theatre, rewritten popular tunes and an epic original composition by the one and only Milos, the cabaret took us through some of the more ridiculous experiences children encounter in their school day.

We then enjoyed a range of songs in no less than five different languages, some amazing solo musical performances, recitals in Serbian and show-stopping classics by Petra and Perina. We can’t wait for next Christmas to come around so that we can get some more!

At 6 pm, it was time, the show started and what a show it was! This years’ performance was of an extremely high quality and included lovely singing, energetic dances and fantastic acting. The students and staff had all worked extremely hard to produce such a good production and it was enjoyed by all. Well done to everybody involved and thank you to the parents for their support.

On the first day, we visited Monreale, a town where the famous Duomo Cathedral was built in the twelfth century. We were in awe of the beautiful medieval mosaics inside the Cathedral.  Next, we walked through the main street of Palermo, looking at the monuments, the Theatro Massimo and the Fontana Pretoria.

The following day we travelled to Corleone, the place considered to be the original home of the Mafia. There we went to a museum and learnt about the horrible ways of the Mafia. We all felt sorry for the people who lived there. Afterwards, we visited Villa Del Kasale, an ancient Roman villa, the floors of which are covered in frescoes.

Our next destination was Mount Etna where we climbed into the crater and enjoyed the snow, as well as a view of the sea. Then we were taken to Taormina, to a Greek amphitheatre which also had a panoramic view.

We went to Catania the next day, saw the Cathedral of St Agatha and walked through Elephant Square…and we had some free time to go shopping.

In Syracuse on our last day, we saw Roman aqueducts and realised how ahead of their time the Romans were in their engineering skills. We also learnt what war was like in the olden times and about the sieges of Syracuse. The tour ended with a visit to another amphitheatre carved out of a giant rock.
