At BFS the student of the month/quarter awards are directly linked to these SLOs.

BFS is thankful for the trust families place in us for the care and education of their children. We do not take this trust lightly.

We believe it is important to promote awareness of our students’ rights and protection within our school. Therefore, teaching and non teaching staff at BFS have a responsibility to keep our students safe from harm, and to report and respond to abuse effectively when it occurs.

We accomplish this via:

  1. The BFS Child Protection handbook for teachers and administration, which includes protocols, procedures and guidelines for anyone within the organization to prevent and respond to student protection concerns when they arise.
  2. Official Child Safeguarding training for its non teaching staff.
