BSK’s Four Musketeers

05/09/2011 00:00:00

Many students from The British School of Kuwait are preparing for their first year at university and they have the tough task of saying goodbye to friends and peers. Solid friendships are formed at school and given the close-knit community that is featured in The British School Of Kuwait’s Sixth Form, it is even more difficult leaving friends.

However, thanks to a fortuitous coincidence, BSK’s 2010-11 Head Boy and Head Girl, as well as Deputy Head Girl and Deputy Head Boy, find that they are heading to universities very close to each other.

BSK’s Head Girl, Yara Al-Wazir and Deputy Head Boy, Mohamed Ali Abdelhak are both going to Loughborough University. Well known for being the creator of The Green Initiative – a highly successful organisation that raises awareness about climate change – Yara is continuing to pursue her passion for protecting the environment by studying Chemical Engineering and Environment Protection, after obtaining 3 A’s and a B in her A Levels. Mohamed is also pursuing an undergraduate degree in engineering but of a completely different type; Automotive engineering and has achieved 2 A’s and a C. Studying a degree he would enjoy was very important to him and his fascination with cars prompted him to choose this degree course. Also, given Loughborough’s renowned reputation in the field of sports, Mohamed will be taking full advantage of their sports facilities having been Captain of BSK’s football team since the age of 15 in addition to being a member of numerous other sports teams.

Cyrus Moosavinia, BSK’s Head Boy and Jacqueline Lewinton, Deputy Head Girl are heading to the University of Nottingham, which is only 15 kilometres from Loughborough. With a deep interest in international relations and politics, Cyrus has decided to study Global Issues and Contemporary Chinese Studies after attaining a B and 2 C’s in his A-levels. With an A* and 2 A’s as her A-level results, Jacqueline is studying an undergraduate degree in Law. Her interest in the affect of the justice system upon society and her hopes to work with people on a daily basis prompted her to take-up Law.

It was a welcome surprise when the Four Musketeers discovered that they would be in such close contact and it is highly likely that they will be using the 15-minute train ride between Nottingham and Loughborough to their full advantage! At times like these, when friends must bid each other farewell as they go their separate ways, the Charles Lamb poem “The Old Familiar Faces” comes to mind. But luckily for these four, the poem’s refrain “All, all are gone, the old familiar faces,” does not have to become a reality once they leave Kuwait for University life in the UK.

Summer Message

25/06/2011 00:00:00

At The British School of Kuwait (BSK) we are looking forward to the new academic year 2011-2012 with confidence. Our enhanced facilities include three new, fully equipped, science laboratories to supplement our already excellent provision as BSK remains committed to the teaching and learning of experimental science. Business Subjects move into new accommodation and, in the Main Building, seven new classrooms will provide space for the expansion of the Lower and Junior Departments. Art & Design, Music and the Britannia Sixth Form Centre each move into superb new buildings.

Our dedicated team of well-qualified teachers will be joined by new colleagues, all trained to the highest standards. The use of this website and the linked Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) strengthens further the communication between students, parents and the School, a partnership that is the foundation of our success.

I look forward to welcoming all our new and returning students to BSK on Wednesday, 07 September, for the start of the new year at BSK, Kuwait’s premier school.

Mr Paul Shropshire
Principal

Summer Fun at BSK

23/06/2011 00:00:00

The 2011 BSK Summer Camp, sponsored by Crown Relocation, began very successfully on 21 June at both the TSK and BSK campuses in Salwa. Children aged from one year old to thirteen years old have been welcomed by the fully qualified staff team who will be looking after them until mid July. As can be seen from the photograph, there was much excitement amongst the children, and why not! They can look forward to swimming and snorkelling, making music, creating Art and Design pieces, performing in Drama classes, forming new friendships with children from many schools across Kuwait, taking part in different sports, having cooking lessons (and enjoy eating what they make!) with a qualified chef, going on trips with their friends to places such as Magic Planet, the Scientific Center, and much, much more.

The British School of Kuwait has been conducting Summer Camps for twenty years and so know what children want in a Summer Camp. All programmes are conducted in English and the staff have a wealth of experience in working with children who have English as a second language. Many children leave the Camp having greatly improved their English without realizing it! It is no surprise then that most places have been taken, with room for any late starters on a first come, first served basis. To find out if there any places left, call 2562 1701 or email roj@bsk.edu.kw.
