It has been a busy term for PE and sport here at BISAK. Our pupils completed their initial fitness tests and have also completed units of badminton, netball, football and tag rugby in Core PE. Sports clubs have been at a record high and we have enjoyed the buzz of competition and camaraderie, thank you to all of our pupils for this.

We had the pleasure of taking 36 Netball players to the Netball SAIKAC Tournament in Riyadh. The competition featured high standards, with games officiated by Saudi netball league umpires. Following a round-robin format, our teams competed for placements in the plate and cup competitions. The U15 teams secured 5th & 6th place in the cup competition, while U13 B finished 4th in the plate. The U13 A team made it to the cup playoffs and earned a bronze medal, despite a loss to the eventual champions. Our pupils showcased outstanding behaviour, embodying the core values of BISAK along with character and resilience. Thank you to Ms Hussein, Ms O Kane, Mrs Altaki & Ms Gilbertson for accompanying the trip.
Football Match Year 6 & Year 7 Girls
In preparation for the BSME, our Year 6 and Year 7 Girls footballers played an internal friendly game to help prepare for the upcoming competition in January. It was an opportunity to apply the competition rules, play in a competitive environment and begin to apply some strategies to try to win the game. A worthwhile and enjoyable event. Well done to all the players.
