Joined by six visiting schools and ISB Middle School students, our Senior School hosted the annual BaMUN Model United Nations conference on the 19th and 20th of November, with over 300 participants. Check out their official Newspaper.

Guest speakers from the Swiss Police and the Youth Criminal System presented to our students the topic of risky behaviours, substance use and the law in Switzerland. They discussed first hand examples and share valuable advice about this important topic.

The Music Department at ISB was thrilled this week to welcome David Lawrence as choral director of ‘A Basel Night at the Proms’. ISB singers had the opportunity to experience David’s positive and energetic style at three workshops this week.

Last week, ISB teamed up with UK based company Behaviour Matters to implement a Peer Mediation Service through Grade 7-10 called Peace Thru Peers. Peer Mediation is a voluntary process, whereby trained volunteer mediators work in pairs to help resolve minor conflicts of their peers.Conflict is of course a normal part of life and young people often have to resolve their own conflicts.

The Swiss Government is urging citizens to save energy in preparation for foreseen shortages this winter. At ISB, we feel well prepared to respond to this call, not only to reduce our costs, but also to change our behaviours.
