Dear Parents,
Thank you to everyone for your support and kind words of encouragement during this first week back at school. It is valued and very much appreciated.
I would like to recognise the huge effort by families, teachers and students in helping us return back to 'normal' school conditions with the added health precautions in place.
As you have seen from our Facebook and website updates, the students have had a wonderful time back with their friends and teachers.
It is because of this hard work and commitment from all members of the community that we have had articles published on various platforms and the reopening of the school has gone very smoothly. This was a real team effort and we all should be proud and delighted that many of our students are now back in school, happy, comfortable and looking forward to the rest of the term.
The links to the articles are below:
- COBIS – Reopening After Lockdown
- Teacher Horizons – Re-opening international schools, a behind the scenes account
- TES – ‘Students must feel safe back at school – and have fun’
Our transition is not complete yet and we aim to maintain these high standards. We still have areas to monitor, review and check each day. I am fully dedicated to this and to making sure that safety remains a continued priority. We anticipate measures to be slowly relaxed over the coming weeks and will respond accordingly.
As mentioned in our BISL Fees Letter for the 2020/21 academic year shared on 17th April, we are offering two weeks of free summer school to all students for the first two weeks of the summer. If you’re interested in joining, please complete this form:
The deadline to sign up is Thursday 4th June. For further questions, please email admissions@britishschool.si.
