Bio
Foods National Junior Swimming Championships -Nairobi
As you know, Braeburn MIS had to pull out of the Bio Foods Gala
in Nairobi on Saturday and Sunday. However, Olivia Cowan of Year
5 stepped in and single handedly represented us after all. This
is something that has never happened before in our school. She won
two gold medals for us which is no small achievement in a gala where
23 schools were competing. Olivia, well done! We are so proud of
you.
U7
Swimming Gala on Saturday
We wish our under 7 swimming team good luck at the gala tomorrow.
The venue has been changed from Aga Khan Academy to Oshwal Academy
in Nyali. The children should be there at 8.00 am and Mr. Farid
thinks it will finish between 4.00 and 5.00 pm.
Last
Saturday's Netball and Football Tournaments
Our U11 boys and girls played very hard in the Football and Netball
tournaments at Aga Khan last Saturday and, although they didn't
win any trophies they showed the great BMIS spirit and really enjoyed
their matches. A big thank you to Mrs. Jennings, Ms. Andrews, Mr.
Gitau and Mr. Harrison for their coaching and attendance and also
to the large number of parents who came to transport and support
their children as some came from as far as Kilifi and South Coast.
Netball
The U11 girls played matches against Mombasa Academy and Aga Khan
on Tuesday. They lost 2-5 to Aga Khan and won 4-1 to Mombasa Academy.
Well done, girls!
Also on Tuesday the U16 girls drew their very exciting match against
Mombasa Academy 12-12.
The result of yesterday's U13 match against Jaffrey Academy will
be reported in the next newsletter.
On Tuesday (29th May) the U13 netball team will play Aga Khan and
Mombasa Academy away at Aga Khan. We wish them every success in
both games.
Football
The U16 football team played Jaffrey Academy at home on Tuesday
and lost 4-1. They played Aga Khan away on Wednesday and the score
was 6-1 to Aga Khan. Keep trying, boys, and thank you, Mr. Took,
for your encouragement and time.
The result of yesterday's U13 match against Mombasa Academy will
be reported in the next newsletter.

the Three Little Pigs. Y2's assembly will be on Wednesday 6th June.
This is because of the ABRSM exams.
From
Mrs. Dale: I wanted to congratulate the Y8 students for their
assembly on "Turtles" this week. It was well presented
with excellent contributions from all of them. This is an ongoing
project for which they will be taking part in a sponsored swim after
half term. They will be inviting parents to an afternoon tea and
they are currently working on sea craft items to sell. All the money
raised will go to the Watamu Turtle Watch which is their chosen
community project. Please support them.
Photographs
The children have been given their proof photographs and an order
form for parents to complete and return to the school with the cash/cheque
(payable to Braeburn Mombasa International School). Please note
that the photographer has forgotten to include the 18% VAT. A separate
attachment has been stapled on. We cannot accept payments without
the VAT included. Please return orders to the school accountant
by Monday 4th June. Any orders after that must go directly to the
photographer in Nairobi at the address given on the form with cheques
made payable to "Spectrum Colour Lab Ltd".
