School Enterprise Competition :
The school participates in “Teach a Man to Fish”, an organisation working with schools to set up school businesses, teaching students business and entrepreneurial skills. Providing a relevant education - that bridges the gap between school and work - means students leave school ready to get a good job or set up their own business, and reach their full potential in life. |

| Opportunity Education : |
| The School leaves no stone unturned to help teachers learn effective teaching methods and provide tools for quality instruction and assessment. “Opportunity Education” provides everything from learning materials, curricula and teachers' guides, the essential support that is critical to effective schooling. Through its Sister School Pen Pal Program, BPS is connected with teachers and students in USA, encouraging cultural awareness among students. Writing letters is an excellent opportunity to learn more than textbooks or even the internet can offer. |

It is an initiative of Project Zero, a research center at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, in collaboration with Paul Salopek. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and National Geographic Fellow Paul Salopek is retracing on foot the global migration of our ancestors in a 21,000-mile, seven-year odyssey that begins in Ethiopia and ends in Tierra del Fuego.
Students at BPS have been sharing Paul’s walk in real time, reading the stories and sharing their thoughts about Paul’s long journey and in response getting his comments. |

Through the project students explore their own neighbourhoods, investigate contemporary global connections, and reflect on how they as individuals fit into a broader geographical and historical context. In addition, they share their perspectives and interact with one another on an exciting digital platform that uses social media as a springboard for deep, meaningful learning. The goal is to ignite students’ interest in the wider world and support them to become more informed, thoughtful, and engaged “global citizens.”
