Last year the ISB was awarded the Brabant Road Safety Label. The Brabant Road Safety Label (BVL: BrabantsVerkeersveiligheidsLabel) was introduced this part of the Netherlands (Brabant) in 1997. The aim of this project is to improve road safety among children and young people by paying structural attention to traffic education in schools.

We are proud to announce that ISB has been awarded the Eco School’s Bronze Certificate, the first step towards securing the prestigious Green Flag.

This year the ISB is joining Eco-School Netherlands and we cannot wait to get started! The Eco-Schools concept was developed as a direct response to the United Nations conference on Environment and Development in 1992. It was recognised that children and young people need to be involved in the sustainability and environmental protection of our planet.

Schools in the south of The Netherlands were the last to return to school and the ISB finally opened its doors to students last week after a six-week summer break.

We finally got to celebrate our 10th Anniversary last Thursday 9 June and it was certainly worth the wait! Ms Asbjørnsen opened the festivities by welcoming students, parents, members of staff, neighbours and local dignitaries to the school to celebrate our special anniversary.

The ISB hosted a Dutch International Secondary Schools workshop with 15 colleagues from international schools across the Netherlands (and Belgium). The topic was CAS: Creativity, Activity, Service.
