Year 8 have recently completed some fantastic portraits, they have used their own photography and then carefully used a gridding system to make an accurate portrait. They then looked at the Fauvist paintings of Henri Matisse and produced a colour scheme focusing on hot colours for the lighter tones and cold colours for the shadows. Some lovely vibrant work.
Our Year 12 students are making the most of the Service opportunities which are given to them around school, from reading with Primary students, assisting in Secondary lessons to recycling and producing news displays.
We are also proud of our Year 6 student Pep, as after a few long days of sailing he has got on the podium and been award the silver medal in the under 11 category. Pep has had a great time at his Regatta and has learnt some amazing skills. Well done Pep.
This week, we did our annual photo session, all the students and staff looked amazing!
As part of the school preparations for the 2022-23 school year, school staff were in full attendance for the professional development days conducted prior to the start of term.
BSGC – A Community in Action 🌳
On Saturday 30th April, approximately 230 students, parents and staff from BSGC South and Tafira travelled to the Canarian mountainside near Valleseco. The group had volunteered to help plant trees with the local NGO Fundación FORESTA, working collaboratively and productively to plant over 260 trees! It was an extremely enjoyable and rewarding experience, simultaneously helping reforest the island whilst also modelling important attributes for our children. The school is immensely grateful to the students, parents and staff who enabled this event to be so successful and to Foresta, for proving such an opportunity and experience!
