Update from the Principal - Apr 15 2021 | April 2021 | British International School of Ljubljana

Dear Parents,

As we head into Term 3, we have shared with you fantastic news regarding our Outstanding School Inspection and also the reopening of our After-School Provision at BISL.

I also would like to thank you for your ongoing support, encouragement and help during this year and the challenges we have faced. Due to missed face-to-face interactions at school, we are offering extended opportunities for our students to see each other, have fun together and to learn with one another further, please see details of this below.

I am delighted that we are able to open After-school provision once again following the period of restrictions. For a full list of available options and clubs, please see our After-School Provision page here. After-school clubs will start from Monday 19th April, please take the weekend to consider your options and follow the instructions to register as detailed on the After-School Provision page.

Following on from the success of our Enrichment Saturdays at the beginning of the academic year, we are excited to offer 2 Days of Free Saturday School(occurring on consecutive Saturdays, 12^th and 19^th June, in the summer term) for BISL students, which will include a range of supervised activities from a published calendar so that our students can have further opportunities to enjoy learning together. Full details will be provided in a separate correspondence.

To register for these Enrichment Days, please complete the form by clicking on the button below.

To make up for some of the lost face-to-face interactions with friends due to the period of remote learning, we are happy to be able to offer 5 Days of Free Summer Schoolfor BISL students (the first week of the summer, starting Monday 5^th July). The registration window to sign up for this is open until Friday 4^th June.

Our popular summer school operates from Monday to Friday, 7.30am through to 3.00pm and incorporates a range of fun activities and learning English through emersion with our BISL staff. Full details will be provided in a separate correspondence.

Spend half an hour this weekend sorting through your wardrobe and shelves for some unwanted items of clothing, shoes, toys and more to help support our Clothing Drive this month as part of our MEPI Initiative. Find out more about this project here.

Drop off your donations in the designated box by reception until Tuesday 27th April.

All urgent updates continue to be sent via email.

Please monitor your emails for future updates as this continues to be the best way to send out clear and consistent communication to all parents. Check that you are receiving emails, have enough space in your email folder, that they do not go to your 'junk' folder and if you are unsure, please contact reception@britishschool.si to check your contact email and phone number on record. If you change any contact details, please inform the school immediately.

I look forward to seeing everyone soon during this term at our upcoming events in the coming months.

Kind regards,

Paul Walton

Principal
