🏃‍What a Sports Day at BSB Castelldefels! Our students from Years 1, 2 and 3 took on a variety of stations: speed drills, balance tests, sack races, relays, jumping, and javelin throws. Year 3 even had a competitive race around the rugby field!

🏡 All activities were House based, focusing on participation and fun over competition. The atmosphere was incredible thanks to the families who came to support and cheer!

🙌 A huge shoutout to our amazing Year 6 students who stepped up as true leaders—explaining the stations, counting scores, and helping with medal presentations.

🏆 A beautiful day celebrating sportsmanship, teamwork, effort, and a healthy sense of competition among our young students! Well-done, everyone!

🏛️Continuing into more international trips, Secondary and Pre-University students from BSB Castelldefels travelled to Athens this week.

📚 Tying into both English and Politics curriculums, they explored classical tragedy and the roots of democracy in the very place it all began.

🔍 Highlights included visits to the Acropolis, Ancient Agora, Pnyx, Areopagus, and Aristotle’s Lyceum. A unique trip linking classroom learning with real-world history and culture!

🌋 As part of their Geography studies, some of our secondary students from BSB Castelldefels explored São Miguel in the Azores.

🌿 They visited geothermal sites like Furnas and Lagoa de Fogo, learned about volcanic activity, renewable energy, rivers, ecosystems, and coastal processes—all while surrounded by stunning natural landscapes.

📚 These hands-on experiences bring the curriculum to life and allow students to deepen their understanding through real-world application.

🍽️ Last week, our Year 4 students at BSB Sitges welcomed their parents for a Lunch Together session—a lovely opportunity to taste the school menu, enjoy quality time in school, and strengthen our sense of community.

💬 We received very positive feedback from families who valued the chance to experience this part of their children’s daily school life, see them interacting in English in the dining hall, and connect with other parents and students around the table.

👏 Events like these offer valuable insights that support the ongoing improvement of our services for students. Thank you to our Operations team and SANED for this initiative.

🧬 Peer-to-peer teaching in action!

A huge thank you to one of our BSB Nexus students for stepping into the teaching role and deliver a fantastic lesson on Transport in Humans to our Y10 students at BSB Castelldefels.

❤️ From the structure of the heart to blood vessels and blood components, he shared his IB knowledge with clarity and confidence—and our iGCSE students loved learning from one of their own.

👏 A brilliant example of student collaboration and leadership across year groups!
