Week 2 Newsletter

8th September 2017

We have come to a successful end of week two with the commencement of after school activities. Thank you to all students and parents who ensured the club form was handed in on time. Clubs have started and we already enjoyed debating, dancing, dodging, colouring, skating, calculating and many other things! Here is an impression of the Clubs so far;

World First Aid Day

Did you know that World First Aid day is celebrated   on the second Saturday of September each year? BKIS is cognisant of this and had it celebrated today as per our calendar. We had the privilege of getting the services of Red Cross Society to take us through what first aid is and the examples of basic skills during the assembly. As a community we were enlightened on how to offer first aid to:

  • A person with a fracture
  • A person who is nose bleeding
  • A person who is chocking
