Dear Families,
Activities Week/s is now drawing to a close, and I hope your child/ren have returned home full of stories, experiences, and questions. These opportunities are among the highlights of the school year, but they also require months of planning, significant logistical coordination, and a tremendous commitment from our staff to ensure the safety, well-being, and enjoyment of every student. As we begin looking ahead to next year, we will be seeking your feedback early next term to help us reflect on and improve the experience.
In the meantime, if you have not yet completed the Parent Satisfaction Survey, I would like to encourage you to do so. Your feedback—both positive and constructive—is invaluable. By sharing your experiences, you help us celebrate what is working well and identify areas where we can do even better. Together, we can continue to strengthen our community and provide the best possible experience for our students and families.
Warm regards,
Mark Attwood
Head of Senior School
BSM Comes Together for the TOK Exhibition
Last Thursday, 04 June, the BSM community once again converged for the annual Theory of Knowledge Exhibition, an evening that invited students, parents and teachers to pause, question and reflect together.
Theory of Knowledge is a core element of the IB Diploma Programme. It asks students to think not only about what they know, but about how they know it, who shapes that knowledge, and why different people may interpret the same world in different ways. Led by Mr Anderson, Mr Nielson and the wider TOK teaching team, this year’s exhibition encouraged students to explore some of the most important questions at the heart of learning: What do we believe? What do we value? When should we trust experts? How does culture shape what we understand?

The theme this year, “Seen Through Me,” placed personal perspective at the centre of the exhibition. Yet the evening showed that introspection does not have to divide us or turn us inward. Instead, when students explained the objects they had chosen, their personal viewpoints became points of connection. Everyday objects became starting points for conversations about truth, trust and our place in the world.
Parents and students were challenged to think more carefully about the knowledge they encounter every day, from the information shaped by technology to the traditions passed down through families and communities. The exhibition reminded us that understanding ourselves a little better can also help us understand one another more deeply.
It was a thoughtful and engaging celebration of curiosity, reflection and shared inquiry, and a powerful example of TOK at its best: not simply as a subject, but as a way of seeing.
