Paris Trip Recap, Years 8 – IB1
From 17 to 23 October, students in Years 8 to IB1 had a cultural and language-focused week in Paris. They explored Montmartre, Sainte-Chapelle, Notre-Dame, the Louvre Museum, and Disneyland Paris. They took a cruise on the Seine River, tried perfume and macaron activities, and enjoyed the views from the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe.
The trip supported French learning, confidence, and independence. Students showed curiosity, teamwork, and real-life language practice outside the classroom.
Thank you to the staff and students who made this experience memorable.

Last Thursday we were honoured to welcome two-time Olympic Gold Medallist Triathlete Alistair Brownlee to BISJ!
He spoke to our Upper Primary during their Assembly and then to our Secondary students. It was fantastic for our students to learn about his journey from student athlete to Olympic champion, and the values that guided him along the way — dedication, perseverance, and belief in yourself.
Our students then had the chance to ask questions and left feeling inspired to set ambitious goals and give their best effort in all they do, both sporting and academic.
