Staying Safe in the Heat ☀️
Staying Safe in the Heat ☀️
With temperatures across Oman particularly high at the moment, we want to reassure families that the health, safety and wellbeing of our students remain our highest priority. Our Hot Weather Policy is in place and a number of measures are being implemented to minimise exposure to the heat, including indoor break areas, shaded transitions and regular hydration reminders.
Children can become dehydrated surprisingly quickly in hot weather, so we encourage all students to bring a labelled water bottle each day, drink regularly even when not feeling thirsty, start the day well hydrated and choose water over sugary or caffeinated drinks.
Signs of dehydration can include headaches, dizziness, tiredness, irritability, dry lips and difficulty concentrating. Our qualified nursing team is on site throughout the school day and is fully equipped to assess and manage any heat-related concerns promptly. Any student who feels unwell should inform a member of staff immediately and will be referred to the Health Centre for care.

Private Drivers
The Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology have notified us that transporting students to and from school in private vehicles for a fee is not permitted under the Land Transport Law and the School Transport Regulations in the Sultanate of Oman.
In light of this, we kindly ask for your cooperation in ensuring that only approved and authorised transport arrangements are used for your children.
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
