School life on Friday the 15th of March turned very green as students at BISZ celebrated St. Patrick’s Day. They learnt about the story of St. Patrick and took part in some festivities. Some searched for golden coins around the school gardens, others created lots of Irish symbols such as the shamrock and leprechauns, and our kind cooking staff prepared green cakes with syrup too! #FlashbackofStPatricks #BISZ

Carnival Day has passed and what a day it was as we started off with a parade that included angels, super heroes, sporting icons and other odd characters. Thereafter, our students participated in sporting relays, class games and an outdoor picnic. The sun had opened up the skies so the blankets came out as did the jam donuts and other mingles.

The last Friday of November had the entire BISZ, OŠ Kreativan razvoj and Privatna gimanzija Dr. Časl community our 2nd annual International Day. The purpose of the day was twofold: to promote the culture and traditions of some of the countries that our students come from, and the latter is to raise money for a charity. Classes promoted 13 host countries from all over the world. We raised over 15,500 kunas with all proceeds going to the Special Hospital for Children with Chronic illnesses in Gornja Bistra. The Head of the Hospital, Mr. Mittermayer joined us on the day along with some of the hospital’s patients and volunteers. We are so proud to have helped this amazing hospital which does so much for so many children. Our students sang two songs as a school, ‘Count on Me’ by Bruno Mars, and the classic ‘Hello to all the children of the world’. Supreme vocalist Damir Kedžo made a guest appearance and joined in on the festivities, he sang two of his hit songs. A big thank you to our PTA, students, staff, parents and friends for all their support and we hope to do even better in organizing the 2019 International Day

“Tis the season to be jolly”, and that is life at BISZ this time of year as we recently celebrated our annual Christmas concert. Parents, grandparents and friends were invited to come and see the joyous songs and dances as presented by our students who were in fine form. It was a great show with songs which included the “12 days of Christmas” through to “Last Christmas”. And we take this opportunity to wish all members of our school community a Merry Christmas, happy holidays and a wonderful New Year.

Thank you for your congratulations on the successful 20 years of our school work. We are especially grateful to the President of the Republic of Croatia.
