Thursday 11 December
Year 8 will be holding a Festive Activity Competition for Year 7 and 8 students on Thursday, 11 December, in support of our school’s chosen charities.
Our Year 8 students have been busy planning winter themed activities that they feel Year 7 and 8 students will enjoy. It’s a wonderful opportunity for them to contribute to a good cause while showcasing their creativity, teamwork and entrepreneurial spirit!
Each team will clearly display the ingredients used in any food based activities, along with any allergen warnings, as indicated on original packaging. All products will be nut-free.
Prices to participate in activities will range from 200bz to 1 OMR per stall.
We kindly ask that children bring no more than 5 OMR to school and have small change where possible.
If your child brings money to school, we will assume you have consented to them participating in the activities and consuming food, if they choose, at the event.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support and encouragement. May the best stall win!

Pick up and Drop Off Locations
Pick up and Drop Off Locations
Senior School students should be dropped and collected from the following locations (unless they have Primary School siblings or are walking to/from school):
Morning drop off: Bottom of school
End of school day: Top car park*
After activities: Top car park
*If a student is walking home from the Senior School, then they can leave via either the top or the bottom gate, however they must walk all the way home and not be picked up outside of school, as this adds to the congestion.
Please remember, only students in the Senior School who are walking home will be permitted to leave via the bottom car park exit. If your child is being picked up by car and does not have primary school siblings, you will need to use the top car park for pick-up arrangements.
2pm Pick-Up Request
2pm Pick-Up Request
Please can we ask that parents arriving to collect children in the top car park for a 2pm pick-up, do not arrive before 1:45pm. This is to allow our Primary School parents enough time to collect their Y1 and Y2 children safely. Thank you.

PE Uniform - daily practice
PE Uniform - daily practice
On their day of a PE lesson, Senior School students should arrive at school wearing their PE kit. They must bring a school uniform to change into at the end of the lesson (to maintain their personal hygiene) unless the lesson is Period 5, in which case, students can go onto their ECA (if appropriate) or go home. Changing rooms will be locked so all personal belongings are safe; although after school, for ECAs, this may not be the case.
On a day when a student has a PE ECA but not a PE lesson, he/she must come to school in school uniform and change into PE kit, after school, in preparation for their activity.
Deodorant is acceptable, however, no glass containers are allowed and aerosol sprays are not permitted.
"No nuts" at BSM
"No nuts" at BSM
Here at BSM we recognise that food allergies are a serious concern. 1 in 50 children have an allergy to nuts with some having severe, life threatening reactions (Anaphylaxis). In order to protect our students with severe nut allergies, we have a no nut policy.
We ask that no nuts or nut products are brought into school. This includes:
Any type of nuts
Pesto
Peanut butter
Nutella
Nougat and Marzipan
Sesame seed rolls (we also have children severely allergic to sesame seeds)
Any food items containing nuts - Chocolates, cereal bars, cakes, biscuits etc.
Many thanks for your support with keeping our children safe.
Kind Regards
BSM Nurses
