Dear BSM Family,
Last Friday’s International Evening was a spectacular celebration of culture, diversity, and the strength of our community. The energy, enthusiasm, and collaboration displayed by students, staff, parents, and volunteers made the event unforgettable. From captivating performances to a feast of global flavours, every moment showcased the rich cultural tapestry that makes BSM so special.
A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated Events Team, Support Staff, Teachers, Parents, Volunteers, and the BSM PTA for their incredible efforts, whether through preparing food, decorating booths, performing, or assisting behind the scenes. Your contributions played a vital role in making this event such a success.
As we celebrate this, we also take great pride in the recent achievements of our students beyond the International Evening:
- Congratulations to our boys and girls FOBISIA teams for their outstanding performances at the FOBISIA U13 Multi-Sport Games this week! Your hard work, determination, and sportsmanship have made us all incredibly proud.
- A standing ovation for the phenomenal cast and crew of the Key Stage 2 Drama Production of 'The X-Factory!' Your talent, dedication, and teamwork brought the show to life in a truly memorable way. Bravo!
Beyond these celebrations, I would also like to extend my thanks and appreciation to those who have participated in two important initiatives:
- Thank you to our College Counselling and Higher Education Team and to the parents and students who attended the recent College Counselling and Higher Education Meetings. Our College Counselling and Higher Education Team is dedicated to supporting students as they explore future pathways and university options.
- A huge thank you to everyone who has contributed to our Change 4 Change campaign. Your generosity helps support meaningful community projects, and every small contribution adds up to a big impact! Please drop by the donation space to drop your coins into the relevant house collection tubes until today, 21 March.
Each of these are snippets of a truly engaging school and school community. These moments remind us of the vibrancy, passion, and excellence that define our BSM community. Let’s continue to celebrate our diversity, achievements, and shared experiences as we look forward to even more memorable moments together.
Thank you once again for your continued support and enthusiasm.
Enjoy a family-filled weekend.

Tuesday, 1 April 2025 has been declared by the Office of the President as a Regular Holiday in observance of Eid’l Fitr. As we have done in the past, BSM will hold normal classes on this day. We respect the wishes of any Muslim families who would like to keep their child/ren at home to observe this Feast of Ramadan and we wish you all Eid Mubarak.

Notice of Withdrawal
Dear Parents,
Whilst it is always sad to see families leave, we are aware that some may be moving on at the end of the school year. If you do not intend to enrol in August 2025, we ask you to complete the Notice of Withdrawal Form on or before Friday, 04 April 2025.
The Notice of Withdrawal allows us to plan for admissions, enrolments, and classes for the next school year, and of course ensures you are not billed for the upcoming school year. Please note that should we not receive a notice of withdrawal, we assume your re-enrollment and will charge full fees for Term 1, School Year 2025-2026.
Thank you.
