UPDATES AND NOTIFICATIONS:

WEEK IN REVIEW: The staff of the BSCR were delighted to welcome back multiple year levels this week to in-person and virtual learning, following the four-week mid-semester break.

The third Quarter promises to be a very busy nine weeks as we look to continue with our Dual Learning programme.  We are already looking forward to our Health and Wellness Week, starting on the 30th of August, as well as a virtual visit by our accreditation agency, The New England Association of Schools and Colleges, in the last week of the quarter.  We would like to wish all members of our Community a happy, productive and healthy third quarter.

SERVICE PROJECT – YEAR 5:This semester, Year 5C are working in conjunction with the Yo Impulso Foundation on a service project donating bicycles to students from indigenous communities and rural areas so that they can travel to School. If any member of the Community would like to donate a new, or a used bicycle that is in good condition, to this project, then you can drop it off at the front of reception between the 27th of July and the 6th of August.

ATHLETICS MEDALS: We would like to congratulate André García (Year 11) for helping Costa Rica achieve second place in the Campeonato Centroamericano y del Caribe NACAC 2021.
