Bulletin #18, 23rd July 2010 |
|
BOOK WEEK: Primary School will be celebrating Book Week from July 26th to July 30th with a range of fun-filled, interesting and exciting activities to promote the importance and enjoyment of reading and books. On Thursday 29th and Friday 30th, new books will be on sale outside the primary library. We shall send out more information next week. Next week the Spanish department in Primary School will be collecting used story books in good condition. They will then be passed on to a local, needy school. 
A SENSE OF ADVENTURE: A very different Gold Expedition took place over the holidays. It was a 4 day trip by kayak in the Gulf of Nicoya that included island visits and a very wet overnight camp in the Curú Reserve which constituted training and planning toward the qualifying expedition. It is hoped that, in future, such trips can be put on at Gold and Silver level, if there is sufficient interest. The picture shows Virginie Fostroy of Senior 7 on the final day of the expedition. |

School Philosophy and Mission |
|
The Administration chose, as the legend on the school badge, the words "TRUTH and KNOWLEDGE". This was actually condensed from a quote by John F. Kennedy "The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth". MISSION - The British School of Costa Rica is dedicated to serving the Costa Rican Community and the International Community resident in Costa Rica by offering an excellent, English/Spanish bilingual education. The School shall strive to achieve "all-round excellence" on behalf of its students, dedicating itself to educating the "whole student" by helping each one to fulfil their potential academically, morally and aesthetically; as well as promoting their healthy physical and emotional development. |
