Good morning, BISNY Families!

Please take a few minutes to watch this VIDEO, which shares some exciting updates to our clubs programme for this academic year. If you are unable to access the video via this link, I have also attached it as a file. 

A few of the main changes are listed below:

• Following feedback from parents, we are pleased to have significantly reduced the cost of our after-school clubs this year.

• Semester 1 will run from October to December, followed by Semester 2 from January to June, with a natural break over the winter holidays.

• Once they have signed up for a club, all students will have a one-week trial period to decide whether they would like to continue. After the trial period ends, families will be committed to the club for the semester and will be responsible for the full cost.

• We are also looking to expand our lunchtime clubs provision, giving students even more opportunities to explore their interests and get involved in activities during the school day. All lunchtime clubs will be offered free of charge.

Later today, you will receive an email with a link to SchoolsBuddy, the platform we use for club sign-ups, along with clear instructions on how to access and select activities. Once logged in, you will be able to browse the full range of clubs on offer and see the days and times each one runs.

 Finally, if you have any questions about the clubs programme, please do not hesitate to email me at a.bernard@bis-ny.org

We are excited about this year’s programme and hope every student finds something that sparks their interest.

With kind regards,

Adam Bernard
