Warmer Weather Reminder ☀️
Warmer Weather Reminder ☀️
As the temperatures begin to rise and winter is well and truly behind us, we would like to share a few helpful reminders to keep everyone comfortable and healthy during the warmer months. Please ensure your child brings a clean water bottle to school each day. Water bottles, particularly those with straws, should be washed thoroughly every day, as mould can sometimes develop in hard-to-clean areas. We recommend including an ice pack in your child's lunch box to help keep food fresh and safe throughout the school day. As the weather warms up we will be reminding students that jumpers should not be worn outside during transitions between lessons. This helps children stay cool and comfortable while they are active. Thank you for your support in helping us keep our students happy, healthy and ready to learn.
Can you help us share what a wonderful place Oman is?

We are grateful to call this country home, with its unique blend of safety, warmth and opportunity for adventure. From stunning landscapes to rich cultural experiences, Oman offers so much to explore. We would love our BSM community to help bring this to life.
What do I need to do?
What do I need to do?

Remember to include your name and where you are in Oman (there's no need to share the exact location).
Please use the hashtag #NotJustASchool and tag in @BSMuscat

What do I need to think about when taking a photo?
Take a photo that shows where you are in Oman, and what you are doing - with your friends and family too if you like. Be creative and have some fun. The more adventurous the better!

No Nuts!
No Nuts!
A gentle reminder that we are a nut-free school. We have children in our community with severe nut allergies and even small traces can cause serious reactions. To keep everyone safe, food items containing nuts or nut products must not be brought into school in lunchboxes or as snacks. This includes items such as pesto, peanut butter, chocolate spreads containing nuts, cereal bars with nuts. Thank you for your understanding and support in helping us maintain a safe environment for all students.

We ask that no nuts or nut products are brought into school. This includes:
Any type of nuts
Pesto
Peanut butter
Nutella
Nougat and Marzipan
Sesame seed rolls (we also have children severely allergic to sesame seeds)
Any food items containing nuts - Chocolates, cereal bars, cakes, biscuits etc.
Many thanks for your support with keeping our children safe.
