Choice and personalised support lie at the heart of our offer
At BSB we ensure that students are offered choice at every possible opportunity along their academic pathway.
However, we are also fully aware that those choices need to be fully informed, and that students and parents need support in order to make certain this is the case.

A transdisciplinary approach
We focus on giving students more say in their curriculum determining what they learn. This begins in Primary where we take a transdisciplinary project approach. Curriculum areas are interwoven to create specific links and to allow students to dive deeper into their learning, with a real sense of purpose and rigour.
Building on this excellent inquiry-based learning, in Years 7 and 8 we combine several subject areas within our BSB Integrated Learning Project lessons. Here students are encouraged to think creatively, to adopt an open mindset and look to make connections across disciplines.
Students are encouraged to choose alternative approaches, to choose the role they wish to play within their groups and to make choices on possible project outcomes.
Teacher guidance across school is constant but independent thinking is encouraged at all times and the benefits of this approach are evident across all our students’ subjects.
