  • CAS (Creativity, Action and Service) - The IB Class of 2019 Report 3

    Volunteering at the Charity Café

    The C2K Café is a café that donates its profits to different causes in the community, for example towards clubs to help elderly people with technology. The person who runs the café was very happy when I asked if they needed volunteers to help during half terms and weekends. During my time volunteering at the café I undertook different tasks. I took orders, served food, cleaned tables and washed up. The different social skills that I learnt from this experience will be very helpful as I progress through my education and through life. A goal I want to achieve from this experience was to improve my communication skills across all different ages of people.

    Climbing Mount Snowdon

    I planned to climb Mount Snowdon. My plan was to walk to the peak along the Llanberis Path, which is a steep path, but very scenic as well, so it has become a very popular path. In this activity, we would climb right to the peak of the mountain, and then walk back down as well. There was an option to take a steam train back down, but if we walked down as well, it was estimated to take up to five hours to complete the whole walk.

    Through this activity, I hoped to improve my determination, as well as resilience and commitment. I believed I would achieve this through the long and challenging walk, where I would most likely meet many new challenges along the way, due to unpredictable weather and steep terrain.

  • American IB Students spend the day studying at BGS

    Published 27/03/19

    Last Wednesday the 20th March we had a visit from 40 students from Bergen Country Academies, one of the top IB schools in the USA. 

    Their students were paired with some of our Year 12 and 13 students and they shadowed their buddy throughout the day. They attended lessons and delivered an assembly to our Year 12 students.

    At the end of the day students participated in an international football friendly which ended in an honourable 3-3 draw.

  • Sixth Form Culture Club Visits

    Published 25/10/18

    “It’s True, It’s True, It’s True”

    On 17th October, a small group of Sixth Formers visited the New Diorama Theatre in London to see “It’s True, It’s True, It’s True” as part of a Culture Club trip. Just a one hour play, “It’s True, It’s True, It’s True” dramatises a rape case from 1612 in Rome. For me, this was particularly powerful as the Breach Theatre Company used the original manuscript of the trial, which had been translated into English from Latin and is so real that you are really invested in the outcome of the case.
