We’re so grateful for the incredible support of our BISW parent community — including Sarah, mum to a rising Year 13 student and a valued member of our Parent Association! 💙
Here she is with Oona, our Principal, whose warmth and leadership help make BISW feel like home!
Earlier this year, our Y4 students learnt about 'Vanishing Rainforests in IPC and created presentations to explain why rainforests are disappearing. They shared these with their families alongside rainforest artwork and poetry from the past term. Well done, Year 4!
