Dear
Parents and Guardians,
We have our secondary
school parents next Wednesday. This will run from 3 pm until 5 pm
in the long room. We will be operating a first-come-first-served
system due to the number of subject teachers in the secondary.
The Inter House Swimming competition will
be held on Tuesday of next week from 8.30am until lunchtime. This
will involved students from year 1 up to year 13. Parental support
will be appreciated.
Mrs. Jennings would like any old magazines and
cardboard boxes for the Art Department.
The following passages are
reports compiled by students and teachers on clubs, sports and activities.
Cricket report,
There appears to be considerable cause for optimism this term in
regard to standard of cricket being played at the school. Firstly,
the under 11 team, coached by Mr. Dale, have already shown a marked
improvement on last season. We also have a number of talented cricketers
in the under 13 side and the open side. By R. Daniels
Under 11 cricket match against Aga Khan played at home,
Aga Khan 54 runs BMIS 43 runs all out
On Thursday 21st September Aga Khan came for the under 11 cricket
match. Aga Khan as guests decided to bat first. There was some good
bowling from our bowlers but there is room for improvement and Aga
Khan team scored quite a few fours but no sixes.
Our opening batsmen did well and scored a fair few runs with a couple
of fours. Unfortunately Aga Khan bowlers were very accurate and
successfully bowled and caught out our team.
We look forward to our next under 11 match against Shree and hope
to be the winning team. By David Boulton, y6
Rounders report,
The under 16 girls rounders team have started the term in flying
form. Their first match against Mombasa Academy has shown they are
starting as they mean to carry on. Winning 4 -3 in a tightly fought
game the under 16 are in the running to win the league trophy.
By Ms. Andrews
Rounders report- Braeburn's Broadsides skuttle Shree,
After a shaky start against a more mature Mombasa Academy side,
our under 11 rounders team had been absorbing top tips from their
friends higher up in the school. While the first match on Thursday
21st. September showed up their inexperience against MA; the same
team
played Shree on Tuesday 26th. With confident batting, sensible fielding
and greater tactical awareness.
Yvonne and Christine scored sensational rounders, ably assisted
by valuable half rounders from Kylie, Olivia and Careena. Shree
girls put up a valiant defence during the second innings but it
was not enough leaving BMIS victorious with 7 rounders compared
to 4 1/2 . By Mrs Gicheru
Cross Country activity,
On the whole I am pleased with the general improvement of the group.
The students are now able to run for longer and they are beginning
to gain a team mentality. To enhance things further can I please
urge parents to urge children to do at least one run per week. I
am grateful to Mr. Hill for his support to this activity. Indeed,
the last occasion, his choice of sunglasses caused much amusement.
By Mr. Kirby
