Student Voice
Primary Student Council
Students have a strong voice in the running of their school and the Primary School Council is one way that we help every child to engage and lead change in their world. Representatives are elected from each class, but all students are expected to contribute to the work of the school council with small groups undertaking activities in response to priorities recommended and voted on by students.
These action groups meet regularly to talk about the school, come up with ideas to improve it and then, get on with the action needed to make our best, better.
“We get to do cool things with our friends and make new friends as well. It’s great to be in an action team because you can help Mr Spinks and Dr Porritt make the school way better”!
Student Leadership in the Secondary School
At BBIS, we value the role of activities that provide students with an opportunity to develop leadership and responsibility. Our Student Council meets regularly to provide opportunities to listen to the student voice on all sorts of issues which matter in the Secondary school.
Our Student Ambassadors – Adele and Josh lead the student body to ensure that everyone is becoming the best they can be. Our student leadership roles provide us with valuable insight and creative ideas while providing students with opportunities to develop as leaders.
They take responsibility for their own lives and community. Students take leadership roles in Assemblies and work with each other to organise and run charity events.
Adele
Student Ambassador
Hi, my name is Adele, and I was a Student Ambassador at BBIS. In this role, I represented the school community and worked to make our school lives even better. With a passion for innovation and creativity, I brought new ideas to the role and focused on ensuring the wellbeing and comfort of my peers. BBIS became a safe space for me after moving to Hungary – a place where I could express and develop my talents. Through the support of my teachers and friends, I achieved strong academic success, which has enabled me to continue my education at university. My goal as a Student Ambassador was always to help others feel the same sense of belonging and to ensure that, as a community, we had not only the best education but also the best environment in which to grow.
Joshua
Deputy Student Ambassador
Hello, I am Joshua, and I served as our school’s Deputy Student Ambassador at BBIS. I was passionate about the role because I believed in the importance of fostering a positive and inclusive school environment. As an ambassador, I acted as a bridge between students, faculty, and administration, working to create a real sense of unity. The role gave me the opportunity to listen to my peers, represent their ideas, and help build a school culture where everyone felt valued and connected. BBIS supported me to achieve strong academic results, and I am now continuing my studies at university. Being a Deputy Student Ambassador was an important part of my time at BBIS, as it allowed me to contribute to a friendly and supportive environment for all.
