Update from the Principal - Nov 6 2021 | June 2021 | British International School of Ljubljana

Dear Parents,

Finishing last week with our Student Appreciation Day was a wonderful experience and now today having a Teacher Appreciation Breakfast is another fantastic way to show our gratitude to those in our school community. This time, to our committed, caring and hard-working staff that bring such magic and joy to our students in the classroom each day. Happy Teacher Appreciation Day!

Thank you to all parents and students for supporting this event, for the PTA providing the refreshments and food, and also to the students for producing such heartfelt and amazing comments for their incredible teachers to enjoy.

Next Friday we will be celebrating Parent Appreciation Day, which will be an outdoor event on the playground from 7:15 - 8:00, giving us an opportunity to say thank you to the wonderfully supportive group of parents we have here at BISL. I hope you can join us.

Today, you will have received a welcome letter from the teachers who will be leading the classes for next year. We will have further letters sent out as we split and create more classes over the coming weeks as more families join the school. An exciting time to find out about your teacher for next year and a quick write up to introduce themselves, to include key dates and contact information.

As mentioned last week, the last day of term is Thursday 24th June and this will, as always, be a 12.00pm pick up for all students. It will also be a dress down day (staff and students wearing house colours) as it is the last day of the year.

I look forward to playing sports, team building with the students and enjoying our first of two Saturday Enrichment Days tomorrow!

Have a great weekend,

Paul Walton

Principal

Earlier this week we celebrated our Year 13 Graduation, a wonderful moment for our students to look back and value their experiences and accomplishments at our school. We are very proud of our graduating Class of 2021, wish them all the best in their future endeavours, and hope they stay in touch as BISL alumni.
