2nd Beaconhouse International School Convention 2017 (BISC 2017)


My first time over to Beaconhouse International School, and it was to experience the 2nd Beaconhouse International School Convention 2017 (BISC 2017). I was at the closing ceremony, but here's a rundown on what transpired from the opening ceremony and its subsequent days. Beaconhouse School System, one of the largest network of schools in the world, celebrated the true spirit of sportsmanship where international student athletes from the group converged in Malaysia at the recent 2nd  Beaconhouse International School Convention 2017 (BISC 2017).

The Beaconhouse International School Convention (BISC) was initiated in Bangkok last year to highlight the importance of sports in academic learning. The international sports meet saw a stellar breed of students from around the world come together in a full day sports tournament, cheered on by thousands of supporters.

The Malaysian sports team made up of 50 delegates was chosen through  an inter-school carnival in Malaysia held between Beaconhouse Sri Inai,  Beaconhouse Sri Murni, Beaconhouse Sri Lethia, and Newlands International School. They made our country proud by proving to be able to work together against other competitors from the other countries.

Mr Kasim Kasuri, CEO of Beaconhouse Group said the school places emphasis on an all-rounded education and not just classroom excellence. The strong network within the school group also allows for a stronger global apparoach and exposes the students to activities and experiences that may be challenging for other schools.

Representative of Yang Berhormat Datuk Saravanan A/L Murugan of Ministry of Youth & Sports, Mr. P. Subramaniam emphasized on the importance of sports and education in order to build a progressive and sustainable nation .

Through BISC 2017, Beaconhouse hopes to be at the forefront in contributing to future world leaders who excel both academically as well as in real life. The closing ceremony was a colourful affair of cultural performances, and even the finals of BISC Idol, showcasing really good singing talents from the students. Lovely night, I was just glad to be there to experience it all.
